This was an accidental cross-pollenation that frankly, I didn't think was possible. This plant produces EXTREME heat in a very small pod!

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
12h x .192kW = 2.304kWh

Fixture Cost = $22.97 x 3 = $68.91
Cord Cost = $9.56 x 3 = $28.68
Total Product Cost = $97.59

2.304kWh x $.06/kWh = $.14/day
$.14/day x 30d = $4.20/month

Compact Flourescent Bulbs (x3)

1300L x 3 = 3900L

19W x 3 = 57W
12h x .057kW = .684kWh

.684kWh x $.06/kWh = $.041/day
$.041/d x 30d = $1.23/month

Philips LED

830L

12W
12h x .012kW = .144kWh

.144kWh x $.06/kWh = $.00864/day
$.00864/d x 30d = $.26/month

Box Fan @ 62.5V

This 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:
Volts x Amps = Watts.

• 125V x 2.1A [Fan requires 2.1A of Current] = 262.5W
• W/converter: 62.5V x 2.1A = 131.25W

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)
12h x .13125kWh = 1.575kWh

24h x .13125kWh = 3.15kWh

1.575kWh x $.06/kWh = $.0945/day [12h]
$.0945/d x 30d = $2.835/month [12h]

3.15kWh x $.06/kWh = $.189/day [24h]
$.189/d x 30d = $5.67/month [24h]

Seed Germination Mat

This mat can potentially provide space for 68 peat pellets, each sprouting a seedling.

17W
24h x .017kWh = .408kWh

.408kWh x $.06/kWh = $.02448/day
$.02448/d x 30d = $.7344/month
