RE: Welcome to my Home Hydroponics and Gardening Blog! It's GROW Time!
this is awesome. I used to grow hydroponic food but the cost of electricity was way too high compared to what you can buy from the grocery store. It was very interesting though.
Upvoted.
Hi @ajain, I suppose it will depend of your systems and how they were set up, we save on average between $125 and $250 per month based on the volume of food our gardens produce - compared to if we had to buy the same items at the store.
It was indoor system so very heavy electricity consumption for grow lights.
ok, I am on all LEDs now. Total pumps and lights run about $20/m here for electricity in Florida when I have everything running at capacity.
Yeah, LEDs are cheap to run but have a high initial investment. I think I had T12s. But I am glad it's working out for you. Congrats.
