I've been running my 400w on 18/6 for a little over a month, and my electric bill is LESS than it normally is this month. lol!

How the fuck? I was expecting it to be like 100 bucks, but it was only 37. Normally when I don't grow it's around 39-41$

I've got 2 fans on full blast, an exhaust fan, a ballast, and a 400w HPS.

Weiiiiiird.

HPS lamps produce electricity.

The electric company sometimes estimates usage instead of actually reading the meter. The next bill will be higher im sure. My electric bill is $31 more when growing

Where I live they estimate your usage for 2 months then take an actual reading on the third. So in spring and fall you sometimes get a bill way different than the others. Just look at your previous bills and it should say on it somewhere if it is an estimate or actual meter reading.
