as long as you're not stealing electricity and paying your bill on time you have nothing to worry about

well, almost true. They can see spikes in the intake. Honestly you don't have to worry about this unless you have a very large op going on. So the question is what is your setup? Unless you have more than 2 or 3 1000 watt lights in that closet all turning on at once you have NOTHING to worry about.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO GO THROUGH THIS!!1


UR AIR CONDITIONER RUNS LIKE 1000-2000 watts per A/C, if you have 2 of them its equal to like 2 1000 watt HPS lights
And the po pop aint knockin to your door when u turn on ur A/C do they?
you have to have likea 5000 watt spike in 1 day or or so and keep on going, then they might investigate, but it takes them a while to investigate
if u notice and cars parked out front for long periods of time then its time to move

yeah.. and your have all of your air conditioners on a timer? and they all turn on at the exact same time every day?? 5 or more 1,000 watt lights turning on is at least a 5,000 watt spike everyday, at the exact same time everyday and shutting off at the exact same time every night. I can't think of any appliance that draws nearly that much electricity let alone sticks to such a tight schedule. Not to mention lights draw more energy when they are warming. So your spike would be more than 5k. Regardless, he said he has a closet grow, the correct thing to do is tell him not to worry about it at all. There is no way to get him through electricity unless he has a RETARDED set-up. or a huge closet. :bigjoint:

Dont worry bro. You can basically get away with 1000w/room in your house. so if you have 2 rooms keep it to 2000watts at a max. good luck

also bro be careful not to repeat a cycle in patterns. ie 18/6 for two months then 12/12 for two months, and repeat it over and over. power companies are
aware of the vegetative and flower cycles of power. not basis for a warrant, but just another red flag if you're flying lots of them:idea:

I move plants all the time, sounds like your only in veg, which is good, I wouldnt bother moving flowering plants, although I did move about 20 4ftrs in a uhaul van a couple months ago, that shit was sketchy as hell!! haha

Anyways, Get some good boxes, or depending on the size rubermaid buckets.

I have also been using a set of drum bags, kickers bags work great for 4 x 3gal pots.


Last time I moved I had 8 boxes of plants and it was a condo, no problems, just be careful, do it during the day and dont sketch and get paranoid.

And for gear get some unmarked boxes
