Anyone grow hydroponics?

No, not weed. My Grandma got me an Aerogarden for a wedding present and we grew a shitload of Basil and Parsley, which was pretty cool to have handy and not have to pay $3 everything I wanted it in my dinner.

I have a spare room that never gets used so I was thinking about trying to grow some tomatoes or cucumbers or something. I would much rather do it outside, but our house is completely shaded. I've got a buddy with a 600W light up in his attic he said I can have. (He got busted, but not growing tomatoes, lol)

I wonder what it would cost to run a 600w light for 18 hours a day? Anyone have any experience with this?
