How dare the electric company charge me over cost for their highly valuable and in demand product! If you don't like a business, it doesn't justify theft. Also, if you think power companies are some of the dirtiest scumbags in the world; you really need to turn on the news now and then, because you have no perspective. The hydro stores I've been to average about 200%-300% markup over online prices, now THAT'S rape. Let's rob them next! It's okay, because as long as you don't like someone, stealing from them is cool!

WOW ur stupid!!! Nicola tesla was making free wireless power for the people, actually had a working tower up at one point. His funding got cut because it was not going to make a profit for the big guy. so Thomas Edison came in and made it a complete monopoly, also he had a hand in making appliances use a lot of electricity in the beginning. U think hydro stores are bad? U have some learning to do

So because one guy tried to be benevolent and failed, somehow you're entitled to free power? Who cares if Edison was a dick? Does Edison run the electric companies these days? If not, then why are you blaming them for his wrongdoing? News flash; businesses are out to make money. You want to be mad at someone, be pissed at your family members in the past that voted in politicians that gave power companies government sanctioned monopolies. They're the reason there's no competitive pricing.
As for hydro shops, maybe I've just had bad experiences. Like I said, 200%-300% markup over the internet. That means you can buy it somewhere else for 1/3 the price. That's a scam any way you cut it, in my book. If you found a hydro shop that provides good prices, then I'm happy for you.

The entire cannabis industry is a scam. From the Cannabis Cup "winners" where "judges" are bought by the highest bidder, the seedbanks, California's "medical" pot sales racket and the hydro stores.....it's all a big money making scam. When I first started and even today, I literally spent next to nothing to grow pot. The sun is free, lights are cheap, potting soil is cheap, and most foods from Walmart, nurseries, Home Depot, etc. will run circles around the cannabis specific garbage dumbasses have been sucked into.

Obviously you know nothing about Nicola Tesla, I'm sure you cheer on Rockefeller too! It's quite clear you have a lot of growing up to do.

Did he bring power to the masses for free? No, he failed to do that. However, he was successful in proof of concept. As for Rockefeller, what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? If you want to argue, argue points.

How did he fail? Because the big guys cut funding when they found out it could not be used to rape the people of there hard earned money? As I said he already had a WORKING TOWER that actually worked so don't give me this he failed bullshit. Sounds like you back up the money hungry scum of this earth, no wonder you don't see the Rockefeller connection.

well i am sorry that you are a slow learner and just realized that hydro shops mark up items so much....300% is an exaggeration but i agree their prices are a joke... but peanuts compared to what energy companies pull...no need to turn on the news..have not watched the news in 5 plus years and don't miss it... i think it is you that need to do some research on what energy companies do....lets get a few things straight .....
A. i never said it was "Cool" to steal anything from someone you don't like
B. i don't give a fuck if this guy steals power or not
c. if you try to compare a hydro store that pays taxes and has no monopoly to what the dirty shit energy companies do..then you are too retarded to have a conversation with
D.this guy is right about tesla.....the only reason you are not paying ore per kw is the state regulates what these greedy fucks charge you...it would be much much more if they had free reign ...however they do have lobbyists to pay these pricks off and keep the monopoly and prices maxed out at all times...they also use every damn loophole in the taxcode and pay more lobbyists and dirty politicians off to keep things this way.

here is what you loud mouths don't understand....maybe the guy has 15 grand in the bank and he is not worried about "paying his bill" maybe he is pulling too many lights ..lets say 20 lights 1k watt..with fans..a.c. etc...the first time someone read his meter they would probably change the meter..thinking it was defective ...after that they would know he is pulling too many amps ....so maybe this guy has a reason other than "being cheap" and do you really think if you are pulling that much lights and plant count that you would be worried about a theft of services charge? no! because you would have far bigger concerns with the police ...so stop judging people and shut your mouth if you can't answer the op's question.

I would say the best advice is a good generator if you're going that big.

Incorporating theft into marijuana cultivation.... Awesome for the industry and the movement. Just like people training pitbulls to fight, then bitching about breed restrictions. 
And the biggest argument in these threads is usually whether stealing is "moral" if its from a profit-oriented company. Instead of being the underground criminals that bitch about the system and trying to circumvent it, why not act like any other legitimate business/hobbyist and play by the rules so that they can maybe be lightened. Everyone knows that to some extent, street dealers are one of the worst things about criminalizing marijuana. Because it involves criminals without ethics now right? How is stealing power any different than robbing a buyer? Oh yeah, because the electric companies are "evil" for not giving hand-outs. I love America. Bitch about the government's deficit, but then demand more money from them at the same time(I'm just one person, how big of a difference could $5k really make, right?) Tards...
