try and pull off a 10k watt plus grow in a non med state w/o stealing power, and see how long that lasts...You gotta be a complete MORON to steal electricity for your grow. Anyone who does, your a bust waiting to happen, and it will only be a matter of time. It is not hard whatsoever for the electric company to trace back to where all that energy is going to, once they catch on, and they will eventually. I do appreciate that idiots like that exist though, as they serve the purpose of keeping the heat off of me. Enjoy your stay at the state pen.
PG&E's 5th tier is .44 kwh so if he lives at where he is growing you can end up on the 5th tier pretty easily. The baseline in some areas is also pretty low.
Well you can get a generator or you can easily just setup a small shop. Buy yourself some welders, compressor,drill press, etc all handy stuff anyway. You can justify the power pretty easy. No one said you actually have to use the stuff, and the way I see it pretty much everything is a front anyway ..... right down to medical marijuana.
They're only as expensive as you want them to be. If you're not going to use them you obviously just get some older equipment which often times means it uses more power anyway. Myself I'd rather pay the few thousand in tools to justify it, than to have to pay double that for an attorney while facing jail time. You have to think about the long haul if you want to get away with it. Stealing power is the quick fix.
From what I remember that was in an old missile silo.
No, he built it to grow weed in. No missiles there.
12 years ago, in SoCal, I started a business called "The Pot Shop". It was a small storefront with 3000 sq. foot warehouse. I acquired 2 large used pottery kilns and set them up in the front, along with $500 worth of potters supplies & green ware. We did a "nominal" legit pottery business in front, and full balls to the wall grow in back, with NO questions, EVER, regarding our electric consumption. BB
