How much power?

I'm wondering how much power I'd use up for a 1 or 2 plant grow box.

With lights, pump, and fans how little power I could get away with using.

And is that comparable to running my PC 24/7?

What I'm thinking is that if I can figure out about how much I'll use up then I can build up to that just by leaving certain appliances on during the day (TV, Computer, etc) until I'm ready to begin my grow.

I'm guessing that the power company send some sort of red flag to the local PD in the instance that my usage suddenly jumped so wouldn't a gradual climb eliminate that issue?

i think your stressin over nothing. unless u got 6 1,000 watt lights. dont worry bout it. a space heater is drawin more than what you will prolly be using.

It would help if you posted the brand/model/size of each of those items to know the power usage. But your not gonna have a problem . Unless you have .0002 amp circuits

our little space heater draws between 500watts(on low) to 1000watts(on high)...a 250HPS would be like leaving two 125watt light bulbs on at night(front porch & back porch) for 12 hours...in other words its nothing to worry about.
