Bypassing power meter?

[connoisseurde420]

indoing any generator keep in mind the logistics of bringing that shit in gas or propane tanks whatever you are going to be doing it for the next few months lol just saying its another mission on top of growing already be ready for the extra time and effort in using gen over just plugging in to the wall

propane generators are easy as hell. just hook them up and wire a subpanel to them. get propane delivered to your house like bottled water. they rent you 2 tanks for free and they come every week and take 1 away and give you a new one. that way yo always have a spare. how hard is that?

if u want a low bill .... use cfls and no fan! u get crap bud but a cheap bill. if u wana do things right get some 600's and some active air fans only 35 watts , but u gotta pay the cost to be the boss! PAY UR SHIT! if u steal power they will steal your freedom!!! jackass

Really? You going to ask for a good place to find lockpicks and gloves so you can rob your hydro store to get free nutes next? People like you really make it hard for marijuana legalization efforts to be taken seriously. Pay your fucking bills, don't steal, be an upstanding individual, you will be helping make it legal. Every watt you steal is another argument someone in congress will use to prove that weed causes crime. Anyways, thanks for encouraging the stigma on weed. Seeing as every time someone commits a crime, and pot is involved, it is assumed we all do it.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong place. "Advanced marijuana cultivation" is for advanced GROWING techniques, not criminal ones.

Thank you for saying this bro'. I couldn't agree more (or have said it better). Of course I've "thought about this subject" but I would never do it. I guess it goes along with maturity. Obviously, someone who would actually go ahead and steal power (it can be done and fairly easy too) has not yet learned the life lesson that one cannot get something for nothing. I too, have thought about solar (and/or wind and/or hydro) but my requirements would need too much in the cost of the panels alone, not to mention the area needed to place them. On a "brighter" note, no pun intended, we could still get the government incentives for alternative power sources!

first cut into the metal pipe from the ground use a multimeter to find positive and ground then put those two wires on your tongue.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION!!!!!!!
If you cannot determine which is/isn't the neutral, simply take any 2 of the 3 wires in there. Oh, also, make sure you use a new blade, real sharp. Cut fast and straight to make sure that you contact at least 2 of the wires with the metal conduit they are contained in...

I cannot believe there is this much banter for this topic. I also cannot believe that I read it all and commented 3X!
I'm gonna' go now and bake something...

I don't get it honestly, if you rationalize theft from one place, where does it stop? Why is stealing power okay, but ripping off people's pot plants isn't? They are both stealing, and power theft is most likely to end in incarceration or everyone else in town footing your power bill (You don't think they're going to let that sudden power loss go for free do you?). Either you're just a thief, or you're a thief that I'm funding through a raised power bill. Seriously, this generation I'm part of has no fucking convictions, aside from "Fuck everyone but me.". It's whatever is the fastest and easiest. Seriously, this "I'm owed something by the world." mentality needs to stop. There isn't anybody in the world that owes you a free lunch. If you want something, buy it; if you can't afford it, maybe you need to re-evaluate your priorities. That wasn't actually directed at you, I was ranting in agreement. lol

wanna grow off the grid? go outdoors, free light!

 

[rootsorganic]

Its fairly easy to do i dont do it but everyone i know does.The only way u get caught is if u do it the old fashioned way of goin thru the meter versuse tapping thru the main power source coming out the ground.They been tapping powewr for years.Power companies have no idea of who does it.

 

[FilthyFletch]

This is the guy you see busted on the news lol...Save your money and get a 7KW aka 7000 watt wind turbine setup for like $4500.Then they pay you for your extra power.

remove meter, insert rebar, works like a champ

This subject always does cause a few sparks to fly
many folk are under the impression stealing power is a way of avoiding detection as they are worried about large footprints , while there maybe a small amount of truth here
i do not think the average electricity thief realizes how serious it is, and in many cases it is treated more seriously than growing a few plants by the authorities

when you play with the electric system the charges they can bring against you are not only theft, but also they will say you could of caused a fire
and endangered lives and the electric supply costing thousands of damage, they will make the case that you are a dangerous (reckless) person
for stealing power,
rather than just someone trying to medicate themselves with a few plants
if you are running a large garden and want to hide how much power you are using, you really should consider generators etc
it is a much better option than stealing power

peace

The power company is not going to take a loss, there going to pass it on to the consumers, your fellow growers and friends. What kind of people steels from friends? I'm sure you dont want to be that kind of person.

Damnit, I was going to say that. But I would say stick it to your dick and balls and see if they glow green. If so, you can go ahead and do the bypass, if not you must chop your nuts off and throw them in the nearest sewer drain for proper disposal.

I know how you can get all the light power you want..
Move outside !

 

[Corso312]

the easiest way is to go find a foreclosed home that is vacant or boarded up..take their meter ...now if you look at your bill you will see when they read the meter ..usually a 3-4 day window like clockwork...you use real meter for 2 weeks and dummy meter for 2 weeks and cut bill in half....i am not going to talk shit like the rest of these douchebags ...the energy companies are some of the dirtiest scumbags in the world and rape us..fuck em..good luck...i don't pull enough lights to warrant me stealing service but if i did that is how i would do it...good luck

Facts are they might not even charge you. Instead you may recieve a lifetime ban on electricity. Even if you have someone else hook up the power for you and if you're living there the power company will cut the power off anywhere you reside if they find out you're there. I know one person in Canada with a lifetime ban on hydro for stealing power.
