60 Plant Grow Setup

Jesus guys are you trying to scare trenton with all this paranoid talk? I mean he is going through enough already. Check your weed boys

Hank.

Hope you dont have a dickie landlord.

so I just read through everything, and after reading it seems to me like he suspects something. they would have given everything a once over before you moved in. Not to mention the fact that it's a new apartment. sounds sketchy to me. perhaps he saw you moving all kinds of shit into your garage/house... by that meaning 60 pots and soil to fill them all. lights duct work and all that shit doesn't exactly fly under the radar. smells fishy to me. it's a new unit, he should have no reason to send an electrician over there unless you said there was a problem.
and it sounds to me like the only thing you really had to do was flip the breaker. electric is pretty cut and dry. I'd love to see this grow from start to finish trenton... good luck!!!

first off, bad ass set up, couldnt read the whole things, but good job thus far. though i do have some q's/ concerns... first im wondering if youre worried about the electric bill spiking up an you getting inverstigated, that is an xtra 4000 w of power out of no where, ( i kno your only thier for 5 months)but does this worry you, as well have you looked into the sentences for 60 plants? not trying to scare you im just curious and i would love to see this thread/grow to the finish.



Food for thought...... according to my electric billl (florida), during flower (12 hrs on) it would cost 172.80 a month to run your lights (4kW per hour times 12hours times 30 days = 1440kW at $0.12 per kW hour) which in comparison to our 5 bedroom house with 5 roomates we use about 2800-3000 kW per month. I guess its not that big of a increase in power but you should stagger when they turn on so it doesnt look like 4000w on 4000w off at the same time every day

Emergency Emergency Emergency
Today as you all know is only my 14yh day of veg. Lights have been on24/7. Electricity went out at 7:00AM this morning. My lights, fans, intake, exhaust, everything has been off for 14 hours now. PG&E doesnt know when it will be fixed and they wont have another update untill 2:00PM tomorrow. By then it will be 30 hours with no lights on or anything. The current temp in the room is 62 F and the humidity is at 85%. I am so fucked. I do not have a generator. Please help. What do I do. Once the electricity comes back on can i try to go 24/7 lights on again and finish my veg for another 2 weeks. I plan to go generator shopping but its al little to late now.

run it from your car battery... jig rig something yourself... and just keep running your car for the time being. well, I don't know if a car battery can handle 4k watts. but, maybe you can make it work.

damn this grow is testing your patience. good luck and hope all the stress pays off in the end with endless buds.

did the power go out to your neighbors also?

Yes according to PG&E 2,500 homes are out on our circuit it sucks though everyone across the street has power but everyone behind us does not.

man.....this is why thay say the first grow is the most important...you learn soooo much...my power has been on and off today.....i dont think you will be hurting if they get the power on tomorrow...after that i dunno my friend...maybe bring them here..

go out and spend 200 on some cheap ass shop lights and a small generator for however much they cost. your plants will get some light which will keep them in vegetative state. run a circulating fan just to get some air movement or just stay in the garage and workout of something to get some co2 in there. its a rough situation but what else can you do? you can also get a power converter for your car and possible plug a surge suppressor into it and plug in the shop lights. you can return all this stuff once the lights are back on. just a thought.

personally i think the landlord is on to ya. maybe all the shit going into the place tipped him off or something else. bit this electrician shit sounds bogus. think about moving. just a thought.

Check out this

...and also other recent articles on NORML reporting the DEA dogging medical growers and patients in Cali. You can get through this horseshit trenton.

Have your options planned out for all scenarios, and never pannic.

i have no knowledge of generators but the car power inverter does work. only thing is you need to run an extension cord from the car to the interior. idk. just a shitty situation.

holy shit, i cant beleive your luck trenton.

i would've expected more problems that were caused by _you_ for your first grow.
well, wish you luck!

I dont work so i am at home a lot. I know it is illegal for my landlord to just come in my house without a notice (i think its 24 hours at least).

i hope he aint reading this story right now =o)
if i were u i'd probably pick up yellow pages and call some sertified electrician do do a check up and then would show ur landlord a bill.
or have him check up the house without entering the garage, get the simple bill and fake up the bigger bill on ur computer.
or for the time of checking just remove the duct shit.
end of story.
good luck bro!

or just be like, "hey man, we need to set this thing up so its convenient for both of us cuz im not comfortable with people being in my place without me being here. so if work needs to be done lets set up a date for the guy to come in" and thats that. youre paying for this place!!! its yours!!! dont let this guy make you feel like hes letting you stay at his house. you are paying for the privacy of your own place. thats that. worse comes to worse leave. you have a lease so if he doesnt like it than hes in breach and you can sue for your rent back and win. fuck him.

Hi everyone. Sorry it took so long electricity just came back on. Help me everyone. I need advice. I have been vegging with light at 24/7 for 14 days then the electricity went out for 30 straight hours. The temp dropped to high 50s. No ventilation at all and the humidity shoot up to 90%. Afet 30 straight hours electricity is back on. Canopy tem is back 70F anr raising a little more. Humidity is back at 47%. All fans are circulating and exhaust and intake are working again. I had planed to veg for 21-30 straight at 24/7 then go to 12/12. I am buying a 8,000 watt generator today in case this shit ever happens again. Now for the big questions... Am I ok to finish of my last 2 weeks of veg before I go to flower. The plants still look great. Is this gonna fuck everyhting up. give me advice on whats the best to do.
