Hah, I left out a few details in my post but if he doesn't know enough about electricity or have an electrician to help him to do it safely he's fucked anyways.

you cant grow that many plants without a generator. that much power get you caught by the weekend. i believe 1000watts per bedroom in a house is as high as you wanna go.
See, now this is really the solution, well said mike.
You need a generator. It's not stealing, it's not raising your electric bill. Win win. I know a guy who does an attic grow and powers it with generator, harvests about a pound every three months.

Let me point out to everyone that electric companies do send people out on a regular basis to look for what they call power leaks. This can be damage to power lines but it also is how they find most of the people that steal power.
I had a friend that was stealing enough to power 29 400w HID's and they nailed him five months after he started.
My suggestion to the OP is if he really wants to go through with that big a grow op, he needs to find some old rundown building out in the country to rent under a false id and create a business that restores something and keep the doors locked and odor down. Pay the big electric bills and hire a few illegals to stay there all the time and pray your not there if the place gets raided. If you observed all the security precautions you could and don't run out of luck. You probably get away with it for a year.

Register your home(s) as a home business. Have people stay in the houses you own that are willing to work for weed and live rent-free. Count a percentage of what you make as revenue from the home business, just so the IRS doesn't ask questions. There you go, problem solved.

Not worth it. Perhaps you ought to consider spending some of the money it will take to buy enough equipment to grow that many plants and invest it into a couple of wind turbines or solar panels. Than you would not have to worry about getting busted for something as retarded as stealing power. No offense.
