Growing under the electricity radar? growing w/o making a bid dent in the bill?

You sir are a complete and utter moron. What part of "it's not all about you" don't you fucking get?
you answered your own ? people that think like that only see what they want to see
like they have blinders on they ignore the negatives of what they want to do and just think of them self

I'm sorry, but I totally disagree with asll of you bashing the op. Dude is legal. What gives the other dude the right to take away his LEGAL RIGHTS??! If he has to hide to avoid being chastised, well fuck -- that sucks for him. The power he's talking about is $10 a month or less. I'm sure he can buy his buddya 12 pack each month to make up for it. The fire issue is easily solved with an automatic fire extinguisher for $40 like the Home Defender.

You guys are some really harsh stoners. Dude is fucking legal!

thanks bro. i appreciate it. at least you see where im coming from.

i wont hesitate to make sure my friend gets compensated for the electricity i use on the grow. thats no issue. since i use to grow with 1600+ watts a month plus cooling (100+ a month at the time) i can handle paying my buddy the 10 bucks each month no problem.

if i work with clones as i plan to im gonna be on 12/12 all the time so it really wont effect the bill much like you said...10 or less a month.

I seriously doubt there would be a fire also as its only 150w and all ill be running is the 150w light and a small fan for circulation/heat control. i use to run 2 600s...a 6bulb 4ft t5 fixture, 3-4 fans and an a/c and i never had one issue and i grew with that setup for a long while (winter, summer, etc.)

i think a lot of posters here really exaggerated and started jumping up saying im "stealing" (less than 10 bucks a month! that i intend to make sure he gets one way or another...pick up a bar tab...leave 10 bucks on the counter and claim its not mine, etc) and i wouldn't bring any attention to my grow to put him in a bad way by any means.

If dude wasn't my friend then i think id be asking how i can get away with 1000w+ or something. people REALLY blew it out of proportion. thank you so very much for backing up and realizing its a legal grow so im not breaking the law.

i wonder how much crap i would have got if i said my friend doesnt want me growing tomatoes indoors but i wanna get a 150w hps and try a stealth tomato grow im sure everyone would have said, "its legal to grow tomatos your friend is just being a pu$$y, heres what id do to get around him" but since its mj everyone is all of the sudden holy and im the devil even though for me growing tomatoes and growing mj are legal. so i dont see whats the difference really.

anyway enough of my rant. thank you once again +rep for decency and understanding!

Lol legality is not a good comparison for what you should and shouldn't do.
It used to be legal to own black people
Thats just my 2 cents

Its your friends house, what part of that don't you get though? He could tell you I don't want you drinking alcohol in the house, its legal, but maybe he doesn't want alcohol in his household??? I don't get where people get the guts to challenge homeowners about their house rules, its THEIR house, THEIR rules. simple as that.

No i'd have called you a douche for being so disrespectful towards someone you are calling a friend. Weed or tomatoes. You are what we call a selfish cunt.

Bevcause you are being disrespectful and selfish. There is no reason you can't other than you being a douche. He doesn't like growing or smoking, but you figure fuck him i'm going to do it anyway. You sound like such a nice person.

You keep refereing to this person as your friend, you sound like you are certainly no friend of his.

I have the perfect idea. It's really stealthy and won't suck up power.

What you will need.
1. Ladder
2. Circular saw
3. A a giant used window from Craigslist
4. A caulk gun
5. Extension cord
6. Bucket for rain water
7. Heavy duty plastic.

Wait till your trusting friend goes to work. Get the ladder and go into the attic. Cut out a hole a little smaller than the windows size. The more windows the better. Get some caulk and start to seal the edges. You may want to cut a hole into the roof to collect rainwater too. This is also a good time to lay that heavy duty plastic. Basically you are making a greenhouse in the attic. If you do it right he will never notice the gaping whole in his roof or the smell of buds flowering.....

Seriously doode. since you haven't moved yet DON'T. Move somewhere else OR say "I'm not moving in unless I can grow".

I would be upset if I told you not to grow while living in my home, and you did it anyway. Yes I support growing in your home. Key word YOUR!!!

You could easily argue that the other guy is the selfish one -- trying to limit the dude's legal rights.

What is the other guy was a vegetarian, and wouldn't allow anyone to eat meat in the house (even if it was never seen -- ie: you can't eat a hamburger in your own room with the door closed because I don't like people eating meat)? Would that be the same case in your view?

Out of sight out of mind.

Okay so I talked to my friend who has this Sun Systems 150w hps delivering 16000lumens..........So he took the the fixture apart and found the wiring diagram on the inside which states that the unit requires 55mfd capacitor across the line to correct the power factor
Says:
HPF with the 55mfd capacitor : 2.57amps
NPF without the 55mfd capacitor : 4.25 amps!!!

When we measured it , it pulled 375watts @ 3.2 amps bringing it to 42lumens/per watt....It's a fucked up flaw to save $2 on the manufacturing....

So really think about going with a good quality digital (dimmable) ballast(150w-250w) to save electric........be safe and happy growing
