Re: power consuption calc???

add up your wattage write it down as a kilowatt ie [ light 400, fans 50 . timer 50 == 500 watts or 0.5 kilowatt ] times hours times days --
0.5 kilowatt times 24 hours = 12 kilowatts per day --
12 kw a day times 7 = 84 kilowatt hours per week assume 13 weeks grow--
1092 Kwh [kilowatthours] times your charges rate from bill ie

generation charge 1092 kwh X 0.044040 =48.091.....
transmission charge 1092X0.001240 = 1.354
distribution charge 1092X 0.029730 = 32.46

duh much easier way go read your electric meter make note of the time
tomorrow same time read your meter run your grow normally between today and tomorrow subtract yesterday reading from today reading you should get a number in kilowatthours from the meter plug that number in to the rates from your electric bill that will give you cost per day count days and add it up...

this is the easy way:

Watts/1000 = A

A x Kilowatt you get charged (mine is $0.06) x total hours in 30days= X monthly Cost.
