b1zzard pots in hydro type grows will be smaller as the roots get direct fed abd will spread out from under the pot. I use square 6 inch hydro pots in my floods and if in an aero I use 3.5 inch net baskets. Its not like soil where you have to have the huge pots.

Wow man, incredible! Having taken a long hiatus from growing and having just got back into it somewhat recently, believe me, I KNOW how much work that is. Especially if you're doing it solo. Big props for that. I have just a couple suggestions. First, I noticed that you are using a Can-Fan hooked up to your carbon filter. I'm sure that'll work fine, but if it's brand new still, I'd recommend you take that back into the grow store and exchange it for a Max-Fan. Your filter is definitely big enough to accomodate one. It'll move more air, and do so with less electricity. The 10" moves 1019 CFM, and at full speed, uses 275 watts. Chances are you may not need it to go full blast, so a fan speed controller may be something you might think about picking up. Also, the Max-Fans are made to actually drop right into the Can Filters, which end up helping to muffle the noise. Not sure if that's an issue for you, but it surely can't hurt.
About your lights, actually, the ducting going from one to the next, looks too long. What CFM is the inline blower that's hooked up to them for that long daisy chain you've got? It better be hella big in order to cool off that many lights that far apart from each other and with that many daisychained together or you're gonna have a shitload of heat buildup in there. As for nutes, I'm using the Dutch Master Gold line and have experienced excellent results. Next time around though, I'll be trying the House and Garden lineup. What medium do you plan to use?
One more thing, is that one AC unit the only one, or is there another one? How many BTU's is it? I hope that thing is at least 20,000 or I have a feeling you're going to have pretty gnarly heat issues. Other than those tweaks, you've done a hell of a job. Good luck man!

there's no real incentive for his power company to do such a thing if he's paying his bills on time, which he is. it's all about money, and as long as the pwoer company's getting theirs, there's really no worry.

where i'm from the meter reader comes once every 3 months, your bill was just an estimate based on the power consumption from the same time last year. He will eventually come and check ur meter, and then ur next bill will be adjusted accordingly. hope that helps
Just some advice if you have all that money to spend on your grow you should have invested in a solar panel. You would never have to worry about your elec bill or the elec company thinking anything of it. I know some day when I make my millions by hitting the lotto lol I want nice 4 bedroom house and a huge garage and do exactly what your doing but I would just add some solar panels for safety.

I would also tap the ground and use RO water strait from a well outside the house

Yup just an estimate it will get added eventually. My bill is about $85 a month for 3 bedroom house central air and usually 2000 watts extra. I also use led and cfls for my regular lights to help offset and my thermastat is digital with presets so it cools the house before I get home... The solr power thing is a nice therey i have been checking on it and for about $28000 can get a sytem to handle about 3500 watts for most of the day so he'd pay about $70 grand to be self powered by solar. they do have a new panel coming out that will be 99 cnets per watt to buy..
