Pulling electric

Weedman420highstarted grow question 4 years ago

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.. 👍🍀

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.
