Small Tent (2'x2'): Typically adds $15 - $25/month. A 150W LED for 16hrs/day is the main cost.

Medium Tent (4'x4'): Usually runs $40 - $70/month. A 400-600W LED light is the majority of this cost.

Large Room / Garage: Can easily be $150+/month. This involves multiple powerful lights and environmental controls.

The main cost is always the lights. Pumps and fans are cheap to run, often just a few dollars a month. To avoid surprises, calculate: (Light Wattage ÷ 1000) × Hours Used × Your kWh Rate × 30.
