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.

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.
