your looking somewhere between $30-$45 a month. I dont have your company but thats about what a 400 watt light will run on average

so, do the math?
you have 432W, you pay .13230/kWh. for veg, 18 hrs * .432kW = 7.776kWh/day (in veg). 7.776kWh * .13230/kWh = $1.028
you will spend 1.028/day during veg. if you veg for 4 weeks that would be around 29.00
would you like to try it for your flower cycle?

looks like about 43.20 for a 9 week flower...mind you, this is only your light. any pumps, fans etc. will add to it but remember 1W=.001kW

its was 29.00 a month for veg at 18hrs a day. so flower is 12hrs a day. How would it be more a month? or is the 43.20 the total for 9 weeks?

not sure what you're asking here...an extra month of veg would be another 29.00; the 43.20 figure is just for flower. the total grow (with 1month veg and 9weeks flower) is 29 + 43 = 72.20 for your lights
