Guess you didn't read what the power company employee wrote a couple posts above this one.. or any of them.. thump thump..

CNN you are one dumb mofo.

i know plenty of people that have done it with no problems. think bout what your power bill will b with about 15 1000wat hps lights on 18 hours a day every day just like the ac will have to be on most of the day to keep the house cool. your power bill would be sky high and it would defintly cause an ivestigation.

hey weed 13 are u stupid ?
dont u know ppl do commercial grow
paying thier bills ?
i know ppl who grow in mtl
and they have 6000$ per month to pay as a electricity bill
and they pay it
why
they bought a compagny that just closed.
look at the power they were using
and bought that place
said they were doing paper printing like the old compagny
and no one even thinks there is something strange
since they use maybe as many watt as they were before
anyway
just stfu

People like you that steal power make the other people's power that they actuly pay for go up in price, if your woried about using to much power then grow using CFL , I could make close to $50 to $100 a week for clones

first of all thumping does go down, seen it, heard of it.... it doesnt always happen, but if u are splitting, and they do happen to run in your area... u are FUCKED..... may not know much about growing... but i do know about electrical...

running a generator would be absolutly stupid unless you are in the boondocks..... open your mind.. what do you think a 4stroke honda running 12 a day would sound like?

running commerical... concider solar setups... collecting as much sunlight so as big of a battery as possible... figure out the usage... and make up the diff in the power comapys electric. dont use so much light wattage.... yes you want good bud, but you also wanna make money.... more watts = more risk = prison time which sucks ass (been in prison for a year) was totaly different reason but prison is all the fuckin same.
if you have the cash to go commercial... do it right.... buy an old comapy.... small business... like homey said... run from there..... state you are running presses... something.....

anyways... as this thread begins... dont steal power... stupidest idea ever.... i fully agree with paying the damn bill... if ur in a restricted situation then dont use so much power.... you can get good results with cfl if used properly and in the right enviorment/grow medium.... if you are in a unusaly cold enviorment using cfls... you can get a small heater and just run it buy an intake fan on a timer..... if your in a hot enviorment run a fan from exterior of home using good screens as to not invite unwanted pests....if you must... use a small wattage hps with weak cfls or tubes around plant to make up for that extra lights... use LST......

yes big ops get the good bud.... but big ops come with an extremely high risk.... and it is never worth it unless you are extremely knowledged or have nothing to lose..... like i said earlier.... look into small solar setups.... you can get a very decient amount of power supply from these.
i have a buddy who does this for a living.... hes hooked up ranch houses which produce enough energy from the panels to power his house 24/7 and still sell power to neighboring homes! if you are going commercial obviously you have the money to concider this.... besides commercial is intentions of sales... which is not smiled upon here. either way... hope you find another way...! good luck

(ps) you better know a good bit about electricity and power before trying to go and split lines and shit..... you may be seeing your setup past the first attempt at the splice.... as stated before... you cannot shut off power before trying this.... big no no....... besides the fire risk involved.... you dont wanna light up like a christmas tree
lol...

i like 25 pound of high grade marajuana in 3mounths it=lots of cash

Lol im from montreal , and my fathers friend IS an electrician Who has many large crop basements around the city and he take the power befor it hits the meter has never got caught , but he told me no matter how much electricity u take IFFFFF u pay it , u should never have 1 phone call from ur power company or from a cop..

You're what those of us in the know call "prison fodder"..
