Im starting my first indoor garden but im concerned about the amount of electricity i going to consume. I heard you could get busted if the amount of electricity you consume increases too much. anyone else heard about this? looking for confirmation help me out.

what kinda light are you gonna run? some guys here have over 3000 watts. they just pay their bills.

Unless you are going to have a huge set up don't worry about it.

most 400 to 600 watt systems are only going to raise your bill 50 a month

You wont get busted for a personal use grow lets put it that way.

what about an apartment building, Would they have a way of seeing the electricity consumed in individual apartments?

btw- My electricity is included in rent

I've heard a personal use setup @400-600W is just like having a computer plugged in 24/7, which is not unusual.

The fact that electric is included in your rent is a little weird, but I'd bet it's fine. Have a back story in case your landlord brings anything up, like you do computer animation, or coding or something that requires computers plugged in all the time...

Anyone know the average energy consumption in a Canadian or better yet, Ontario household??? I keep hearing different things...I'm running 6 600watts for flowering and about a total of 1000watts for vegetation and mothers plus a shit load of fans. I'm not living in the place so that will be the only energy consumption. I have run an operation of 3 1000's, 2 400's and 2 250's before for 2 years and never had a problem and I also lived in the place. Does anyone know the SAFE amount of consumption here in ontario?

Its actuallly quite comon around here. My past 3 appartment have had all utilities included.
Im just trying to get all my facts straight before I start this grow room. (I have some experience from a few years back) The room Im using is a storage room 8x4x8. The only problem I forsee is ventilation, but luckily on the other side of the wall is the exhaust vent for my kitchen... So im thinking of cutting a hole in the the other side and venting through there. Im also thinking it might be a good idea to setup a charcoal filter or something similar just incase. I have a 600w hps for flowering and a 400wMH for veg. Still need to buy everything else including seeds. any suggestions? ideas?
