nope, just make sure you pay it. They are a business, as long as you are paying you are gtg
 
Thanks Rd116! I feel much better now! Lol. I think it's a combination of both buddreams. Lol. I have five lights in the bloom room and two lights in the veg and a whole shit load of flourescents. I have the set up in the garage (bloom room) and it get's 115 degrees in there. There is an A/C unit that is always on. A bunch of electronics and such. But I suck at this at the moment... My best harvest is seven ounces with six plants. :c

personaly id say take out a few lights, or do anything at all to get those temps UNDER 85. im sure even with less lights and plants that alone will help you out

I agree with removing some lights and trying to get that AC off atleast when the lights are off. Focus on 3 big plants instead of 6 medium sized ones?

$1,500 electric bill? Jesus fuck!

+rep dude. Thats just a big bowl of awesome sauce.

btw? Rd is right, just pay it. Once police start poking around your power bills you're busted anyway, nobody will give a shit if you just pay the man. . . but I'd be on time ;)

I would also say loose some lights until you get the hang of one or even 2

I got 5.5 oz from 3 plants and a 400 watt so you may want to think about the big picture and get a few grows then start building up

You can save a few $$$ by running your lights at night and make sure you are running them on 220 volts instead of 110 volts

Good luck

pay the bill. scale down. it's good advice. buy strains that are known heavy producers and are easy to grow.
A northern lights x skunk cross for example. Or just grow northern lights! I think that I might do that next
myself for a late summer indoor grow.

man what you need to do is steal the electricity.... and have free ecelctricity to power your grow, while you still paying for the other electricty that powers you fridge, tv, radio and shit.. has long has you do it right and be safe while your doing it, and pay your bills on time for non stolen electric you should be fine... just try to keep it 10000 watts or less you you dont cause any problems that would make them try to find you out on a power grid... those merter guys only come by like every month to other month or even less..... has long has nothing looks too obvious you are all good... some people steal power for years to grow bud before they get busted, and reason they get busted are like, house fires from faulty wiring, telling people your growin who snitch, or haveing to do with dealing weed, shit like that

yeahhh but ahhh you see... the fact kinda is.. if you get caught period your going to prison......


lol i see your from cali.. were you can grow legally if you got a license... and you would go to jail or get fined for stealing elect. but not growing lol... funny huh? im from illinois.. it not like that here yet... if they ever suspect dude has shit to do with drugs they will look at his light bill and fly over with helicopters and infra red.. then get a warrent, and pop his ass.... and they can still do that if your stealing elect. to but wouldnt it be better to go to jail not having had to pay those outrages electrick bills and be locked up, hungry with no money for commissary?

yo,,,
i had a bill almost as high as that, the electric company sent a letter, and an investigator to the apartment.

They wanted to know why the bill was soo much higher then the bill before.

They said a check of the interior needed to be done or they would shut off the electricity.

We tore everything down and cut 100 plants down a month early.

I would never do that big shit again, i think the stress took a few years off of my life


If they dont start hounding you, ya better switch to 240V light systems, and reduce the amount of lights by half.(like instead of 4 lights use 2lights)

Thatll bring ya way down.

Heres some old pics of it lol

damn fool. what do you pay per KWH. 25 cents? or just running over 10,000 watts? if you want better yields you need to get the temps lower. cut a few lights out. how many are you running?

btw why does running 220V make a difference than 110V?
