If I used, say, 8kw for lights and 2 more for the rest of the stuff and my bill jumped from 500kwh per month to 5000kwh surely everyone at any electrical company would get suspicious. As for power company having no legal right to alert authorities, that's what anonymous tip off lines are for...
Sorry if this question is stupid/noobish but if the strain you're growing is quite short could you go like this:
40cm soil/hydro/aero
60cm the plant itself
25cm distance to light
20cm light
5cm shelf =1.5m
the same on top of shelf =3m
Has anybody done it, is it...
