I think We, would like to know how many lights for the 6 plants and how big the footprint is on the ground that the lights are covering. Ie. What are the dimensions of the room the plants are in

It's insane. It was $250USD last month.
That's insane? I just got my bill yesterday, $305, and that only included 1 week of a small veg tent with a 48w LED running in it. My bill is usually $200 for normal monthly usage in a 2bd condo but last month was cold and we ran the furnace a lot more and raised the bill $100. I already know next month is going to be $500+ and I am only running LED/Cobs. :(

I'm growing in the basement of my townhouse, normal bill with using the heat is $80. I had my "builders" reroute the vents so that the hot air from my lights gets dispersed throughout my house, so I don't use my heater during the day, which cuts down on heating costs. 6, 1kW puts out a lot of heat and it's usually roasting in here. $250 isn't too costly I suppose. Just not used to paying anything more than $80 a month for electricity!

VERY smart! I wish I could route heat that way, but 10 Cob LEDs don't even put out enough heat to heat the garage. The dehumidifier is by far my biggest power hog and heat generator taking 950w almost continuously, double what my lighting takes, is still only enough to keep the garage heated.
