you need to find out how to break into your electrical pannel and wire that shit up or get a generator. them mutha fuckin fedz is gonna be lookin at you once they see you're paying as much money to power your house as the govenor does to power his mansion. and the helicopters watch out for them. i got paranoid a few weeks ago when i heard a few heli's flying low by my house

Wouldnt have to break into the box to hook a generator up as you can get a complete natural gas generator setup with fuse box 200 amps for around $5000 at like home depot or such. It uses your gas supply to make electricity which in the warm months is way cheaper then electricity to run and less likely to draw attention from high gas usage..Copters are out as outdoor harvest season is upon us

this is taken from the local newspaper:

Details of the new ordinance that makes adult marijuana crimes lowest priority for police:
* Cooperation with state and federal authorities is restricted in relation to marijuana investigations and arrests.
* Prohibits city from accepting federal funds to investigate, seize or prosecute marijuana offenses.
* Creates a community oversight committee to monitor police reports for marijuana arrests.
* Declares that it is city policy to support policies for taxation and regulation of marijuana.
* Requires city clerk to send annual letters to federal lawmakers in support of marijuana legalization.


if your grow is legal, than it seems like you could use whatever amount of power you need?... am i wrong?

and i have to wonder what kind of judge would sign a search warrant based only on a power bill.

This is in reply to Jberry's concern regarding power costs.

Yes a lot of power companies (like PG&E in northern California) calculate their "residential" charges in relation to a low "baseline" usage level and, if you use over the baseline, the charges per KWH triple or quadruple (sp?) .

However, if you elect a "commercial" rate you can choose a night time rate of $0.11 for as much power as you want. (My rate was as high as $0.40 per...about $1,600/month).

How do you get a commercial rate ? I moved my grow to a warehouse space and was able to triple my lights for the same cost as I was paying.

I never asked PG&E if I could get the commercial night time rate for a residence. (Didn't want to red flag that I was using a lot of power) but maybe you can who knows ???

Anyway, thanks for reading. Good luck on everyone's endeavors.

Jberry yes in aware your right but mostly wrong. You raise flags if lets say your regular bill has been a round $100 and then the next cycle your bill jumps to $1500 then you have spikes on 12/12 points but this isnt in all states but like cali and few others is use commonly to base warrants on to search a building so yeah if you bill slowly climbs to a point and doesnt jump then you can be fine but if in a residentiasl non commercial area and a 3 bedroom house is using 10000 watts it can be a major flag. For residential bas rule is it is safe to build up to 1000 watts per bedroom.
