The only way you can bypass that legally, is if you have a medical waiver that they can't turn your power off. I have done this and put the meter back in it's correct place. No legal action was taken against me because I proved that they could not legally turn my power off. My sister was on dialysis which takes a HUGE amount of power to do every night.

He is talking about stealing the power(re-wiring)...nothing to do with shutting it off . JAS

Your a fucktard. Either grow and pay the bill... Or don't grow at all.... I mean you said you got a couple 600s going? That's more then enough for a light bill. Mine is a constant 300 a month and I use 1 600 but I live in a 4 bedroom home

Wow! My power must be cheap then. Mine never goes over $175 even running central air with a 600W grow (4 bedroom house). I guess the rates have gone down in my area. Now it's cheaper to run an electric clothes dryer than a gas one. I used to have 200+ bills a few years ago without a grow going. Maybe it's the cheap natural gas from all of the fracking? Dunno. Rate is about $0.09519 per KWH.

It sounds like you've gone or are planning to get bigger without any funds to do it with.

That many lights means you ain't doing it just for personal.

Didn't you factor in the running costs of this equipment.

I run a single 400w setup. 2 bed terraced. My combined gas and electric bill per month is £160. With about £60 of that being gas.

I would think the fact that your running a few 600 watt lights means you have some experiance under your belt, but anyone thats grown a single plant outdoors knows you dont steal power when your growing. Im amazed someone with a multi lamp grow would even ask a question like that on a public forum. Please dont steal that power, you will get arrested and might end up giving on of us up :)

I highly doubt your electricity bills even comes close to the $0.45+/per KWH we pay in Hawaii. Man up and pay that shit, or go solar.

OP I don't think you'll find a supportive person on this forum, if you do they're probably jacking their power.
Anymore we the pot community strive to not make ourselves look bad. Stealing power doesn't do shit for our cause.

Buy a quality digital ballast .
I use a 600W digital Phantom ballast with fans running 24/7. I also use a 4 tube T-5 set of lights for my vegg cabinet.
My electric bill has gone up about $20 a month .
My total bill is about $140 a month for a three bedroom , two bathroom house.
