can still clear 3k kWh just with the family and one light. most recent puts it at 0.084energy + 0.044distribution, so approx 0.13/kwh. these r the lower fall/winter rates i believe.

what are the Cali rates?

Interesting, I'll hafta do the math on that again. "hundreds" huh, I'll call em again or look it up..... Thanks

Now I see what they do during Summer Rates:
they tax everyone on the 'energy' portion at a higher rate for everything -over- 600kwh for the summer.
0.12 instead of 0.08 but still have to add same 'distribution' costs of 0.44.
0.13 total, during fall/winter, is still damn reasonable!

just recalling,
my issue w switching to nighttime (rates) was they may need to install digital meter......:leaf:

I don't mind the smart meters really. Sure it could "give away" what's going on, but it's no different than previously. Energy companies could figure out loads if they really want to.

Just have an alibi, I run back up servers at night :)

Yeah I imagine my "large saltwater aquariums" use lots of power with the pumps and lights and filters and whatnot.

Oh, anyone grow out OJ yet? I have a pack but haven't run it. Just curious.

Good post cold smoke. I think finding a balance is key. I can't put all my eggs in to the pheno hunt basket. I've got patients that need a reliable stream of meds that work for them, so I have to keep the majority of my garden clones from known mother plants. BUT, I love me some variety and like you I love sorting through new phenols. I have 3 x 1000 watt lights in my flower room, 2 of those are dedicated to clones, and 1 is for new seedlings.

I switched to the off peak hour program Abe. 50% cheaper to run the lights between 7:00pm and 11:00am (and weekends). Save a couple hundred every month

Run off hours and if you can apply for the "poor family discount". 25% off total bill. Even if you make too much there are simple ways around it

I'm running the complete opposite.

Does anyone know if a longer dark period before the swith would cause less shock or gradually over a longer period of time?

I'm thinking about just making the switch and give a longer off period.

done it plenty of times, give em at least the initial 12 hours dark then turn on at ur desired time, imo

i typed 24 by accident lol cannabis needs that at least 12 of un interrupted and can go much longer in that dark period. after a few days of darkness all the green foliage starts getting metabolized.

Yeah pretty junk I can only grow 6 plants so sucks popping seeds and only getting 1 keeper in an entire year of growing almost takes the fun out of growing from seed. (that 1 keeper was from a bag seed as fucked up as it is I have paid so much money for breeder seeds and not got shit yet.)

I remember when growing required having these things, what you call them again... wait... yes... balls.
If your government tells you to slam them balls in a sliding door would you do it?...

Lol... I just find it ironic that before legal herb fellas would run insane amounts then it went legal and now everybody is worried about plant counts. Looking at it from the outside the mind boggles. I hope legal weed leaves me my swingaz
