Will the grid not be alerted when I start pulling so much power for 2 600w lights and a fan constantly? Will it not flag up and could they then inform the authorities?

While I have only been growing 1 year, I think Jef79 is correct. Nobody seems to care about much as long as they get their money. 💰💰💰

Hello.. Hope you are well.. As long as ur paying ur bills n not bypassing system u will b ok wit no problems.. Ive ran 2x 600w wit 2x extraction fans.. Multiple size fans.. Pumps.. And been doin this a while n never had problem wit electricity board.. I think its more wen u take the piss n get a whole house on n dont pay ur bill or bypass so sumwer around area is "leaking" power so they'll investigate.. My advice is keep on top of the bills.. Keep on top of any roaming smells and u'll doin it for life wit no worries !!..stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

Wrong light schedule Screwed up light timing. Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?
