P.S. how many grams in an ounce?

[boulder]

To convert from Grams to Ounces, simply multiply the grams by 0.04

To convert from Ounces to Grams, simply multiply the ounces by 28.35

 

28.35 grams = 1.oooo1679435 oz

 

No idea on the electricity but try ringing Energex or relative department.

 

Cheers

The cost per kilowatt hour you are paying should be on your electricity bill. kilowatt=1000watts So its just a matter of finding out the wattage of the equipment and multiplying out by the rate

 

eg if you are paying 10c per kWh, a 100W light bulb would cost 100Wx10c/1000 = 1c/hour

Hey dudes...this is sumthin I worked out when I got bored at overgrow...thanks to white_cluster for his genuine genius..

 

so Enhil... if your running a 1000w light at 18hrs /day every day for 92 days and 15c/kWh....that comes to 248 bucks...is that how much it costs???? can anyone verify this please???

 

18 * 92 * .15 * 1kWh = $$$$$$ 248.40

600watter is:-

 

18 * 92 * .6kW * .15 = $$$$ 149.04

 

400 watter is:-

 

18 * 92 * .4kW * .15 = $$$$ 99.36

G'day again...I went to energex and apparently it's a sliding scale...after a certain amount of power usage it goes down to 11c kWh check it out...you might also want to get tariff 31

ok i've done the calculations based on the energex website and I reckon that since I'm using one 600watt lamp my power bill will jump from 110 bucks to 230 bucks per bill...I was also thinking of getting another couple of 160 watt blended light lamps for veging so this is going to really hurt the power bill I'm afraid...it'll probably get upto about 260-270 per bill....has anyone had this happen to them???

Hey People,

 

CGA don't worry about that power man, I run about that and sometimes add a bit more, its no worry.

1600w is nothing, anyone with an air-con or heater is running way more, cooks, welders etc.. would be running heaps.

How much power you use is nobodys business until you get silly.

 

But 1 thing I can't understand is why you would veg under 1000w and flower under 600w, that is crazy talk.

PS my powerbill is about $650.
