Cool keep me updated. Cause eventhough I got a big bill I will not give up. I will try everything but give up. I'm completly leagal so stealing the power is not an option. I'm looking right now at getting the kill a watt meter and finding the drain. I'm starting to think it's somthing else. Starting with my ac. The thing is since this house used to be a office the ac is this industrial one ( big box out side) and if it's posible that I was probly pulling the cold air outside with the in-line fan making the ac run harder than that is it. Right now the light has been on for five hours and the temp is 80 and the humity is 50%. I'm probly ok right?

One other thing to consider is this: Being that you just moved in and took over the bill. Sometimes power companies estimate useage from the previous years average. They do not actually come out and read the meter every month. Maybe they skipped a month or two reading your meter so you are just paying the overage from last years average vs. what you have actually used. Might be a bit of a backlog on billing. Maybe in a month or so thing will all even out as they learn your power useage. Just a thought.

well one time i divided my yield by my cost and it came out to around $1.50 a 8th... so yea its worth it since a 8th of medicine usually cost 40-65 dollars at the cannabis clubs.
my WATER bill is more than most peoples power bill

The A/C unit eats it up big time. In the US there is a tax credit for buying an A/C unit that is of certain effecientcy. Plus if you got credit then you can finace the shit and only need about 2 g's to get going. Expect to pay 1-175 mo. for about 3 years. However the unit will be of much higher effecientcy. Down side. If you are not in certain states (sounds like slavery) than you gotta move your plants away from switchbox/breaker, if heat and cooling combo then keep the attic in mind. Also peek hours are at night time, 3-10 pm for most. Find out what your peek times are and adjust your hours accordingly. At one time in some places having forced labor was right and totally christian. Hahhaha, the times are a changing. And lots a folks need legit jobs, lil boost in the economy....come on.
