electricity included apartment

i have a 2 bedroom apartment and the electricity is included in my rent so i pay no electric bill. its a 4 floor building with about 30 apartments. my question is if i do a small grow about 16 plants with 4 600watt hps lights will anybody find out something? will anybody know im using so much power, I have a friend living downstairs and he has 2 window air conditioner and there always on and the only reason is because he doesn't have to my the electric bill

More than 1kw is blatantly obvious if ea apartment has individual meters. Go look.

thats a great question man and is worth doing some research on. i would say you could get away with 2- 400w either way. image if someone lived in a huge complex and you found out by talking to some young broad that no one looks into usage. You could literally save hundreds of dollars of month.

i wonder if a person could rent out an apartment without having to show id? Say someone just makes up a name and fills out an application making shit up the whole way through. Then buy a little unlicenced scooter to ride back and forth assuring no one knows who you are and go to fucking town growing trees. thoughts?

Run the watts with out the plants for a month or 2 and see if they say anything.

don't go so big

I can grow 9 beautiful ladies under one 400 watt HPS and yield 6-8 ounces.
I am probably gonna bump up to a 600 watt so I can grow 15.
I have a perpetual grow where I harvest every 2 weeks.
So I'm not interested in growing enormous fat mama's.
I vegg for 2 weeks and flower for 8.

It's not the light, nor the strain that produces beautiful ladies...
It's the grower.

that is not per tree is it? what are your plants specifically like. you do an ebb table or something?

I wouldn't do such a big operation given the restrictions.

I used 1 400w HPS, 10 plants and got 11 ounces. With the same light now I'm doing 15 plants.

best idea!!

you planning on growing 50+ plants? You dont need that much.

You can always CFL to the max, I doubt that would cause much of a spike

Check in the laundry room, odds are each room has its own meter, but i would do cfls if it were me, just to be on the safe side, with 16 plants man its gonna stink.

I have a perpetual grow where I grow in a sea of green style.
I harvest 9 plants every 2 weeks.
I grow in soil.
I have 5 mothers.
Northern Lights, Mango, Grand Daddy Purple, AK47, and Oasis.
I alternate between the moms every 2 weeks when I take my cuttings.
My cuttings will form roots within 7-10 days in my EZ Cloner.
After which I throw directly into vegg for 2 weeks.
Then I throw my plants into bloom when their only 6-8 inches tall.
When my plants are fully matured they are roughly around 32 inches tall.
I average about 20-24 grams per plant.
