      Im guessing there looking for hugh elec bill increases if at all. They dont want small growers, not worth there time. Id guess if you dont double or triple your bill you should be fine but just my guess.

        I'm pretty sure that as long as you're paying the power company then you're good to go. It's when you start to try and bypass meters that things can go sideways.
        WHAT???

        900w of Vero's and F-strips

          Not sure what Scotland Yard is up to (possibly no good these days), but it has been done in various areas of the U.S. http://gazette.com/utility-companies...rticle/1578050

            I would think there are a lot of drafty old flats with space heaters being plugged in this time of year, a little spike in usage will not be noticed. Grow on.

                How many watts of electricity do your lights draw for 12 plants to be covered. Thats the question. I personally wouldnt more than double my electric bill if I was in stealth mode. Triple would be tops for sure. But again, there looking for big grows and big busts not people with 5-10 plants. Also you need to deal with odor. 12 plants can get pretty stinky. But they do have low stink strains.

                Hey jak, I'm in the USA, and as long as you don't get to greedy about growing way to many plants and using lots of power at the wrong time of day, you ought to be ok, but who knows who's watching, that's why I only grow 3-4 autos at a time.
                You ever see U2 or Conor McGregor over there, I know that's a silly question but I don't get to communicate with the Irish very much.

                It's hard to do many things anyway when your taking care of your garden, I like U2 an McGregor. I did my mma,training back in 69-70, good luck with your grow.
