Can anyone recommend a decent place to buy a pipe nothing fancy I’m not into glass anymore just after a decent discreet pipe ?
Nice one cheers mateIt has arrived today.
so I will be giving it a clean later then I will report back for you about it.
Looks the nuts mate !
Question I’m new here.
How do you U.K. growers get away with electricity usage, moving into new property property has basement with plenty of space.
I done a bit of maths and the electricity usage on just 1000w light puts you 2-3x more than the usage of the average household.
my question here is how many watts can I run without getting too greedy, what is considered red flags to the electric company ?
couple mates said as soon as I move into property run the lights, so usage starts straight away pretty high.
I shouldn’t be growing with this paranoia but I just need reassurance on how many lights I can use without raising flags. How many lights do you use ? How much electricity do you consume? Need some re assurance that I can run 1000w or even 2000w without no problems from the old bill
Cheers for all the info @jondamon ticks all my boxes will be ordering one this wk …
I ran 6 Gavita pro 1000de for over a year solid, 24hrs 7 days a week with no troubles. tho i was paying for the electric not sure if that was the difference i dont know I do know a lot of people dont and just nick it.Whatever you use PAY FOR.
The U.K. “average” of 3300kwh per year is so outdated.
all you would need is a decent sized fish tank of 200L with a light etc and you’re above the average consumption.
Unless you’re planning on using 6000w of lighting (6x1000w of actual wattage) then I wouldn’t worry.

I would never bypass the electricity, if you get caught growing weed, they would say it's a fire risk and you could end up in jail.I never recommend stealing electricity.
if you’re running that much that you need to steal then you should consider renting a warehouse and setting up a shill company etc.

I keep my plant count low, running cost low and my lights look basic and cheap, so I am more likely to get a fine.
That's not good, how did you get caught?I got a caution back in 2012 with a very “professional” setup lol.
a 600w in an air cooled hood with a Wilma4 pot lol.

Did you get a fine?
Best mate grassing you up, wow that's not good, I don't see the point of grassing as in most cases it not going to reduce your sentence.loose lips.
I had a guy do some construction for me ( H beam in a supporting wall ) which was when I switched the closet door from the kids bedroom into the master bedroom.
he was my best mate and knew what I was doing etc.
He opened his mouth to someone about me, that someone got caught with a container full, he opened his mouth to try and get a lesser sentence etc.
i got a house search with warrant, they showed me the warrant so I showed them exactly where it was to ease the “hunt” for it.
I was arrested, placed in holding cells for 2 hours, interviewed for 30mins and given a caution for my 4 plants, 1 mother and 8 clones.
Then they gave me a lift home. During that lift home came the “off the record conversations”.
hot fuzz:- who’s dealing in your area?
me :- no clue mate I’ve been self sufficient for the last 3 years.
end of convo lol.

what did you mate get?
I guess caution was the best outcome you could hope for.
TBH 3 people know I grow that don't live with me, one has a lot of medical problems, and the weed helps with his pain and his brother can't grow too well(he just split up with the wife and depressed), so I give him everything (homemade LEDs, soil, pots, plants, filter, and fan, tell him what to do, he's following my advice and pulling a lot of bud, he's very happy.
