Tomatoes

↓ Beefsteak ↓My three Beefsteak Tomato plants are the tallest ones on the right out of the plants on the floor. I never really bothered to take pictures of them. They didn't grow well indoors. They exploded in growth once they were planted outside though. ![]() |
↓ Tomatillo (Verde) ↓When it comes to Tomatillos, I suggest you NEVER grow them indoors. They make a huge mess by constantly dropping flowers that dry and flake-off everywhere! Not worth the immense amount of water they require indoors in my opinion. ![]() |

The calculations below assume that the power company charges $.06 per kiloWatt-Hour. Another point to make is that I usually only run the box fan on low (low @ 62.5V instead of 125V), so the cost would be considerably less. I don't have a meter to measure the power consumed to be exact, but I think this is enough detail information anyways! :) |

Setup / Power Consumption: |
Light Output (Lumens) |
Power (Watts) |
Product & Power Cost ($USD) |
Lithonia Lighting T8 tube Fixtures (x3)These fixtures each hold two T8 (32-Watt) tubes. I have a grand total of six T8 tubes. Each fixture didn't include a power cord. I bought three 8ft, 3-prong power tool cords at $9.56/ea. Each 32W T8 tube has a light output of 2750 Lumens. |
2750L x 6 = 16,500L |
32W x 6 = 192W
|
Fixture Cost = $22.97 x 3 = $68.91
|
Compact Flourescent Bulbs (x3) |
1300L x 3 = 3900L |
19W x 3 = 57W
|
.684kWh x $.06/kWh = $.041/day
|
Philips LED |
830L |
12W
|
.144kWh x $.06/kWh = $.00864/day
|
Box Fan @ 62.5VThis fan is plugged into a travel Voltage Converter.
It is designed to convert 220/240V to what the US uses- 110/120V.
I measured the AC supply voltage in my house to be 125V.
This converter cuts voltage in half.
So everybody should know that:
When using the converter, the fan spins at nearly half the speed on each setting! The Low setting is virtually silent, and a great way to save power! |
131.25W (on High)
|
1.575kWh x $.06/kWh = $.0945/day [12h]
|
|
Seed Germination MatThis mat can potentially provide space for 68 peat pellets, each sprouting a seedling. |
17W
|
.408kWh x $.06/kWh = $.02448/day
