Scared of Usage in UK

Hello to all, I am currently using 3x 600w hps in a dr240w but with all the extra wattage using fans heating etc it's probably a 2,500w grow and I'm in a small 2 bedroom house.



i have been pissed off with the long veg times and wanted a more perpetual situation.



I wanted to get a dr120 with 600w and again - the extra wattage will probably knock it up to 1,000w



if you include both grows that's 3,500w and with what I use - I'm rarely there as I'm doing 11-12 hour shifts - probably roughly 4,000w in total



now they say 1,000w per room - with the above it means I'm doubly over what I should be.



im on a key metre and always pay and never any chance of getting in debt



im currently spend £6 a day and tbis will more than like rise by £3 pushing it up to £9 - let's just call it £10



i love growing and smoking and everytning associated making hash etc it's like a hobby and an worried tnat I'll get a knock on the door by taking the piss adding another tent.



Any advice

on what i should do would help me a lot with peace of mind



thanks all

No company in the UK cares if you use electricity, to be red flagged the usage needs to be massive like ten times what an average household uses.

If you get a knock about your power usage, just say you're mining Bitcoin

Why do you need to grow so much? A single 600 watt HPS provides me with all I need and plenty to give away to friends. Sounds like you're growing more than just personal. Regardless, if you're that worried about it do you really want to be looking over your shoulder all the time?

Me and my pals usually like a mini stoner party at times - we once put 10oz in a cake and got messed up

I don't need to explain but my buds don't last too long in my household hence the reason I would like one more lamp running

So the general consensus is I'll be ok guy?

I see. Your usage is significantly more than mine so I see the need to grow more. As for if you'll be ok, I have no idea. I'm in a legal state in the US and that amount of power consumption wouldn't be any cause for alarm. And if by some chance the police did show up the most they would do is take the plants if you're over the limit, give you a ticket, and move on. I'm not versed on the laws in the UK and what the potential penalties would be.
