Thanks man...and not even close on the lights...those are 2,000watts each...dual spectrum Raptors
they were a lot of work though. I'm back to using CFLs and Miracle Grow 
..yeah, don't believe all the things you hear about Miracle Grow, 1 of my MG girls...
Dayum!! I Was way off on the wattage.I couldn't imagine seeing that on the power bill. Haha.I'm using jungle growth soil, but was in MG.I didnt have any problems with it other than before I got the seed starter soil it burned the shit out of seedlingsThanks man...and not even close on the lights...those are 2,000watts each...dual spectrum Raptors

Haha, that's why I don't use the power company
I'm completely self sufficient in all aspects...lol...I have solar power mostly, a few windmills, but the cavitation of the blades is driving us crazy 
I have a pretty good size creek running with my old fashion watermill turned into a hydro-electric mini plant enough power to run both my houses...I hope 
so we can get rid of the windmills, whoop whoop whoop all fuckin night
Bro they've been out of the same container since day 7, thanks for looking out though
,that little 16" tall girl is all that was left
Man that sounds awesome,completely self sufficient.when I first bought my light I thought about buying solar panels but damn are they expensiveHaha, that's why I don't use the power company
But since I have someone with a Little knowledge on the matter, what size of a solar panel would I need to run, say my 400 watt plus 6" inline fan? Would I need a battery bank? Or just with the future in mind,how big of a panel would I need to run 1000 watts over 18 hours of the day?Haha, that's why I don't use the power company
I'm probably not the one to answer those questions. I had a company (Go Green Solar) come out and install a 15,000 watt system to the tune of $25k. They are also installing the turbines for my hydro-electric set-up, and running all the cable.
Ah ok, that's pretty cool.after I posted those questions I hit Google up, it'll cost me right around $900 to get a 500 watt system.thanks anyway though
that's a big investment just to go off grid! How's it paying off?
Well we've been here for 7 years and the system is paid for, and sometimes with the 2 houses we get a small surge (Need more power) but the hydro will take care of it once it's finished...and in the long run I save about $500 to $750 a month, and that was just the old farm house, the new house has all the new tech in it, including a vacuum system in the walls, an intercom, cctv monitoring the entire 10 acres, laser beam trip wires (for alarm) oh yeah I had fun with this houseAh ok, that's pretty cool.after I posted those questions I hit Google up, it'll cost me right around $900 to get a 500 watt system.thanks anyway though
Damn man! That's fuckin crazy.it's smart to keep everything on lock down like that though.people now don't have any respect or morals and don't think twice about putting their hands on someone else's stuffWell we've been here for 7 years and the system is paid for, and sometimes with the 2 houses we get a small surge (Need more power) but the hydro will take care of it once it's finished...and in the long run I save about $500 to $750 a month, and that was just the old farm house, the new house has all the new tech in it, including a vacuum system in the walls, an intercom, cctv monitoring the entire 10 acres, laser beam trip wires (for alarm) oh yeah I had fun with this house
One day I may show pics of it...like when it's legal to do what we're doing
No man it ended up hitting our power meter,the electrical system in the house Is little older, my grow room is out in a shed in the back yard and the power for that is Run from a breaker In the house.the shed Has brand new wiring and a new separate breaker in the shed,I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to electricity though
