Alright, so I'm doing a closet grow in my apartment. Contemplating doing two 48 inch ge daylight fluorescent bulbs in a cheap double ballast, what kind of electric bill change am I looking at. Super simple soil closet grow, super stealth. Aiming for simplicity with the double ballast.

take the wattage X hours lights are on X days in the month. this will give total watts used
your hydro bill will tell you what they charge for a kilowatt . kilowatt is 1000 watts
a 400 watt light costs about 20-25 bucks a month where I live to run
don't know if this helps but it satisfies my stoned brain right now lolz

Evolutionwz: for what it's worth, that's what I used for a long time and at 18 hours of operation a day I never even noticed it on my electric bill. Of course, that was before I taught my wife how to turn the lights off. HSA
