Will using 3500 watts in a rental house get me busted?

are you serious??????????.
3500watts is enough to illuminate a football pitch.
what the fuck are you thinking about this much voltage will melt the fucking roof let alone the temps it will reach.at least any neighbours in a 2 mile radius will save on there heating bills but might not appreciate the smell.
but for real the cops will be on your ass quicker than i can roll a joint and thats fast.and if the landlord pops in he will either drop dead due to heat exhaustion or toxic fumes.

bra that's 3500w aka just about 35amps goin at one time. plus ya fans etc. and the reg elct u use.
you can keep yourself afloat off one grow.
you can get a grand or so off one small grow.
u in a apt. landord come decide to look a lil more than usual wat happens? u get tore off.
you would have to run extension cords out da ass and draw power from 2-3 rooms.

just go with one good grow and clone. no need to draw attention to yourself because of fast $

I have done it. Grew pounds in an apartment middle floor, tough to control the stink and the temperatures and you are at an extra risk.

Having said that, just run different rooms at differtent times, one room on then the other. As long as you pay your electric bill and control the smell and temps your're golden. Random entry by landlord or whatever is actually rare. You certainly could get busted that way but that would be under unusual curcumstances. Usually nobody entrers your rental until you move.


not from power use as long as the bills are paid in full and on time.
.
How many watts were you using? Ya I will get a $300 carbon filter for each room.

isay, talk to the land lord. take his temp. maybe he smokes and would want some kill bud as rent! I wouldn't do it if he doesn't know and I wouldn't do it he doesn't know...get the picture?

or, rent out a house with a different name. cash trumps all.

I used two 1000w lights, both on at the same time. If you want 3500 it would have to be half that on at a time, one room sleeping while the other is on.

It is risky though, and we were paranoid constantly. I wouldn't do that again for any amount of money, the stress just wasn't worth it.

I hope you don't have any fights, parties, out of control girlfriends or anything else that could draw attention to your residence. There better be no reason at all that the cops would ever come to you and NOBODY should know about your grow.

Best of luck if you do it, but yea it really is like watching an unavoidable wreck about to happen.

Can I get some help here?? Im thinking of doing 3 or 4 grows in the house with light movers. Do you think I will get busted? And any time on how to not get busted? thanks
Must have a whole lotta home owners answering. So according to the majority if you don't own a home don't grow more than a couple plants if any. Whatever.......use common sense, stealth it up real good and keep it to yourself. I do it. Just remember you gotta commit. No parties, lots of "fix it yourself" issues and I NEVER leave the house unattended. Be aware, no way around it, you live in a growhouse. If you're willing to deal with the inheirant risk go for it. Personally, as long as I've rented a "house", I've never had a landlord come over even on a days notice as long as they got there beans the first of the month.

You are putting out massive paranoid vibes. Give yourself a break and make it easy on yourself and go buy a bag of smoke.

that's bs they have to come n check n make sure it's clean n shit.
Idk what part of MI u live in but in midland n Mt. pleasant the landlords would check just about every month n leave a note that they were there.

I really wouldn't risk doing this.

Just think about what would happen if you were caught. (Probation, Piss testing, classes)

go with something smaller....do a small grow or maybe a walk in closest or something.... something that large in a rental unit is just asking for trouble.
