100 watts, haven't bought em yet, but thats my plan anyways. I will keep it to 4 plants for now, as to stay under the radar, until I can afford a generator, I am a super sketch sometimes.

your bill will go up like 4 dollars a month probably
i run a 400w hps and it raises my bill 15 dollars

What does the electical company look for as far as scheduling goes? Like a strict 20 hours on 4 hours off is pretty fucking suspicious no?

they dn't look pay them and they will be happy. only way they look is if the cops go there specifically to look at your records and if that happens you are already busted and fucked up sumwhere els along the line

So no one notices these sweet grow ops you guys have, you pump electicity into them at scheduled times and everything is just hunkey dorey? This sounds too easy and good to be true.

like i said, it doesnt use any more energy than a large tv or a gaming pc. i dont think they monitor when there is more of a power draw each day, and they'd have a hell of a time monitoring mine bc, i also have 2 large fish tanks (55 gal and 150 gal) with big lights that are on timers set for different times than my grow lights

Well where does the interest start? People coming and going? Or does your electricity usage initiate the being watched, because electricity use and how many people visit you aren't really all that suspicious together, because the same people aren't paying attention of both...
