Whoa! I would guess the cops figured out you had more than a dozen plants with a bill like that.

Sadly NY is not a legal state and if I'm flagged by the utility company (yeah, they do that) I'll lose everything. Those "smart meters" can determine who's using timers and high amounts of wattage and send that info to the mother ship. Thankfully my meter is old.

as long as you paid for the power it's yours?... right???? here you're on a tier program once you get past the baseline usage the price just keeps going up my friend was running 6 1,000 watt lights plus the t-5 veg. room ac. etc... pg&e was through the roof he ended up with solar panels on the roof which softens the blow & splits the bill he did end up with the cops coming in & finding everything because of all things a domestic dispute after the dust settled he is getting ready to fire back up on a smaller scale. Ttystikk there is not a doubt in my mind a man of your knowledge is gonna overcome this & then some

And house fires. I also got a ticket for a new ordinance in my city; no HID lighting inside residences. I'm sure I can get it dropped, as I was intending to switch to LED and the lights are already here.

Lol if I go big I'll go cob... extra electric, Faraday cages the whole 9...the solar panel ideas are something I've thought about 2...hypothetically ;) I just grow some taters in the yard...

I should think so...

Fuck 'em; I'm going to grow my legal limit, use the same power I did and make them TWICE as big!

Where before I grew monsters up against the walls, now I'll grow them to fill in BOTH sides, that's front and back of the trellis!

I'm betting I can grow three pounders, maybe even four. Anyone wanna bet I can't?
:fire:

No need for Faraday cage unless you're running cheap Chinese high frequency ballasts for light bulbs; LED runs on DC current which emits no EMI.

Lol, that's the attitude, 12x 4lbs and legal, when do you start vegging? I'm seeing COBs and Quantum panels, maybe some solar to offset the costs. Then again, do at least one or two rounds without solar so they come back to inspect your grow, blow the fuckers away :)

I can do 6 in veg and 6 in bloom. The 6 in veg are already here, I just gotta rebuild the room for the new config. I'm thinking 6-8 weeks of veg, then bloom.

Those Quantum boards would work well for double-sided vertical. A (grape) vine layout comes to mind when picturing the layout for something like that...
