Just seeking some opinions, my set up raises my electric bill about 80 dollars a month. Should I be worried about the increase as well as fluctuations since my system is down now but will be up again in a couple weeks. I tend to think no worries but I don't wanna get too confident. Should I take any specific precautions? Does big brother really spend time watching home electric usage?

I would Think you need a bigger difference in use before they notice. But i've "heard" about people caught by helicopter IR heat camera. Where the truth ends and the urban myths start is a mystery to me.Tho a dash of paranoia gets you longer than total naivety imo. -

I would think that you would have a less chance of getting busted because of your electric bill, than from using your IP address on a marijuana growing website.completed 7 grows
what I have learned so far:
environment maters more than nutrients
at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
effective flushing before harvest is critical to qualityComment

yeah i wondered that same thing with my setup. normally before the grow my electric was 30-40 bucks a month. now it is about 150 plus the 30 - 40 a month. it's legal here but that is how people here in the past got caught with spikes in electric usage and the flyovers. here we see a lot of flyovers in the summer time for outdoor grows which is not legal unless it's in a greenhouse and you cannot see it (plants) from the second story of a neighbors house. if you stay under the radar things should be ok.Comment

They are now installing digital electric readers that report your use so you can get a more realistic electric price as some countrys export power at night and import at daytime vis versa, it results in different prices per kW. I think they can see that 12/12 pretty easy. Been thinking about that and if you have 1 vegroom and 2 flower rooms when one flowerroom goes dark the other goes bright. A reley would automaticly do that job hooked up to a timer.Comment

Let's add to this buying grow tents, grow lights, nutrients (even worst nutrients with marijuana on the label) all done with your credit card/debit and sent to your home. There are so many ways to track growing. Do what you can to be safe and do not get lazy about it. After that forget it and sleep well at night with a little help from your green friend.Comment

Ok, I've done all the bad things outlined above. Now I feel like Jeff Sessions is gonna swoop down on his broom and say, I've got you, you tatted up lady, and your little dog, too. Then he will force me to join the KKK and smoke with them. A fate worse than death.Anyone can grow schwag. If you want to grow top shelf bud, study hard: https://www.growweedeasy.com

007, I know, right???? But this thread got me so paranoid I flushed all my bud down the toilet, incinerated everything that I could in my wood stove--all my cones, rolling papers, cannabis books--, took my grow box apart and distributed it into 15 different trash bins around town (removed all finger prints first), smashed my bong and my oil rig, and registered as a republican just to be on the safe side.

Bwahahahahaha alltatup trust me folks they are not going to waste fuel and government funds to bust a small fry and your electric company is just rolling around in their beds with your extra $100 in electronics, unless you make 250K/year or have enough shit worth that much you aren't even in the Feds radar. Law enforcement has bigger fish to fry and a ton of backlash to deal with like the illegal gun trade and growing Heroin epidimic, they aint worried about a bunch of potheads with green thumbs.
Relax and Exhale! Peace!Perpetual setup!Comment
