Depends on the cost of your electricity. I get ripped of here is 23 cents per kwh. a 600w lamp uses 0.6kwh an hour so if you run 18 hours it is 18(hours) x 0.6kwh = 10.8kwh a day. Or 75.6 a week.
So just find you price per kwh and then times by 10.8 for a day. And then just times that by the amount of days your bill spans to work out the increase

I've found the best way to test if needs watering is feeling the weight of the pots this does get more awkward when the plant is budding I feel as does put in weight itself so the dry weight of pot will get heavier. If you can inspect you plants regularly you will no when needs a feed just by looking the lower fan leaves will start to droop a bit not curl. And as gets drier lowest leaves will wilt but you don't really want it to get that dry. How much do you water each time in the 5 gallon tubs?
DO u mean how much water do I use on the 5gallon pots? I use a half gallon on each 5gal pot. bout once a week... some times its more 8-9days... I always wait for the soil to dry up... I use your technique by lifting them and sticking my finger down to see how moist it is... U know what I don't understand... WHen a nute... company will say on the bottle to mix (whatever they say)(and I used half wat they say) anyway they say mix ( X amount) per gallon of water. I do that... but the part I don't get is--- are you suposted to use that whole gallon on each plant?( so they get the X amount they said to mix on the bottle)?? How is it suposted to be done?? Like I said I use that gallon to water the 2plants I have in the 5gallon pots.. Any help would be greatly appreciatly,

the amounts are a ratio so no matter how much of your mixture you feed the plants the nutrients will be evenly spread. they dont specify amounts because all plants and containers are different and some will need more to get the medium moist/wet/soaked/hydro. im growing in 5gals at the moment and each pot gets about a gallon before it has some runoff. i water half leave it a while and water the other half later to help it soak in a bit more evenly.

Hey thanx for the reply!!!! U say that u have plants in 5gal pots also??? How often do u water them?? Mine is about every 7-9days... that's how long it takes to dry out... is that to long????
They are looking allot better!!! its jjst that it takes so long to dry out between waterings!!! Im worried that the roots my rot cuz they stay moist so long??? or do u think that down lower in the pot where the roots are they are sucking up the water?? like I said I water every 7-9days
