Dam lights

[badhabitsau]

Can someone please help me. All I have is a long cupboard, about 7' high and a foot square wide. I have two small exaust and in flow fans, a small humidifier, and it is white "reflective" pine board. My problem is the lighting, first I used a cheep "$40" red/blue LED slab...The first few plants were terrible long stemed and basically feeble. I read up and asked questions etc. and decided that Grow lush 400w with balast, would be the answer. My problem is now with all the advertising and surgestions/opinions online I'm now worried about the electricity consumption, does anyone know how much running something like this 24/7 to start with then 12 to 18 hours a day when "flowering" actually costs? I figure I'm paying $350 every 2 mths for quite good heads so is it compatible (never really good at the maths ) with just buying product rather than growing my own {except for being self suficant of course},what is the benifits of doing all this? Seemed like a good idea at the time, but is it really this hard? Thanks for listening to me having a moan...
