New Hood (Temperature Advice)

Really guys, no comments?

1000w all day. I wouldn't grow with anything but 1000's

You should be able to get 2# off of a 1000w over a 4x4

up until now ive been using a 600w. I will definately continue with my 1000w ... How much more in power $$ roughly am i looking at ? ALSO my temps settled at 84F i have 3 fans moving air around. Is that ok?

its almost double the wattage so almost double the cost. well actually 2/3 more than the 600w

It works out to be about $40 a month average for a 1000w. Here anyway im sure the price is different everywhere.
You would be better off wih the 1000 but id find a way to route the fans to bring the temp down a bit more. Is the exhaust pulling the hot air out the top or higher up closer to the light?

I depends on how much per kilowatt hour you pay. Its crazy high in cali for residents. If you go into tier 4, its 34 cents a kilowatt. You will be in tier 4 if you grow for sure. I hit tier 2 just for my regular house. Luckily if you have a commercial building like a warehouse or a shop for your business you get a commercial power rate which is 1/3 of the residential cost. Makes a huge difference!

Good question 707!!

So it looks like this months KWH (Usage) from 3/28 > 4/27 was: 1,644KWH ---- Roughly $185
