Pay your bill on time you should be good. Problem is if they are looking at you for some other reason (someone talking) to subpeona your power usage records is the next logical step and this can be done easily based off reasonable suspicion ( the lowest grade of proof ). As far as reptiles ive kept all sorts mostly chameleons amazing creatures to observe and take mental notes from for example a chameleon never lets go of something with its back feet till its got something firmly grasped in its front an interesting law of its nature which humans could benefit from applying in a mental sense. Snakes are another great mental concept they eat rats LOL

Dam sound like u got it down,I don't have much to worry bout I have enough plants my grow certificate says I can have
Unfortunately here in U.K we dont have the luxury of any certificates :/

You can grow weed under licence from secretary of state for anything with THC content over 0.2% and theres only 4 of them licences in circulation (probably for research), the application cost is £4700 GBP (whether your refused or not) and a yearly renewal or £1700 GBP .... Security has to be tight (were talking CCTV and Biometric door locks) and deemed a suitable person (Dr of horticulture or Similar), you even need a second person to sign off the destruction after research is complete.

anything under 0.2% is still licencable but is cheaper slightly and regarded as hemp for commercial use.

The sentence for cultivation unlicenced is 14 years....

UK SUCKS SOMETIMES !!!

My plasma TV, blueray, nd surround sound use 800, 180, and 1200 watts a piece. The tv is usually on 10-12 hours a day, plus everything else goin on in the house.......i doubt that they notice 600-1000w extra.

Newbies often encounter negative thinking or paranoia over the following issues
Helicopters
IR detection
Smart meters

while there is some truth in the above they are mostly very over exaggerated problems
newbies would be doing themselves a favour if they would concentrate their thinking elsewhere on matters like

Odour removal
loose lips sink ships
and then some more odour removal

peace

A large flat screen tv is about 1000w and it isn't odd for a tv to be on 12 hours a day. If you have a small grow, you won't see a huge spike.

fly overs sometimes 4x a day- twice at night at times.... echoes of the Ramones singing "i wanna be sedated..." running through my head. property next door was seized.... i live right beside a huge, free water source in a very rural area.... walked unkowingly right into a hot zone of illegal grows... paranoia my eye.

You can do better than that, give exact times and dates of helicopter fly-overs from your security log
any self respecting newbie would have a time and date stamped log of such activity

lol, i just read what not to have in your house in case you get raided.... baggies, which are good for peanut butter sandwiches and oreo cookies are hard to believe are not a common household item but a log detailing fly overs, and that i would post such a thing on a public forum.... tsk, tsk.....

Real stealth guys wrap up their deals with toilet roll, no shit

no shit, toilet paper? I wouldn't use baggies bc it mangles the weed. quart mason jars or pill bottles work much better. afaik most ppl get busted by doing something stupid, like telling everyone, or selling to ppl they don't know.

idk if baggies in the kitchen, and a scale with the baking supplies can be used to prove intent to distribute or not. my guess would be not, unless they are obviously used for the weed - like out on as coffee table with a bunch of baggies and a qp right next to it. idk tho.

I think if bills are being payed electric companies leave you be (reptile enthusiasts and horticulturalists!) even if your using warehouse amounts of electric you pay bills they're your friends:)

Guys, I used to work for British gas and they were constantly reporting people but only fair size operations.

Even 24hrs light we could tell! But its not as much of a red flag.

the biggest tell is when we could see when there was a great voltage draw this is caused by the igniters that spark the discharge lamps, there is a great very unique draw to ignite the discharge lamp which we can see, when the bulb is first ignited, its only when they reach full brightness this then drops. Its a very, very unique power draw nothing else like it. LEDS are completely different but still unique, the transformers instead step down the voltage which we can also tell, but a great deal of people use LED for down lighting in their ceilings but these only draw 100 / 300w in houses. We can even tell when people open their fridge due to the power it takes to re-refrigerate, invasion of privacy I know!

The best way to hide it is use Tesla modules to charge and discharge the electricity, you can even charge Tesla modules at charging stations if you want to be super under the radar but a advanced charging system would need to be setup to charge at the 50kw charging speeds, no electrical company will report high usage its only if they see a correlation at certain times of the day lights on / off as people could have 1 electrical heater per room! Thats 3kw, if you have 10 rooms thats 30kw per hour 720kw per day! Some people just dont realise how much a electrical heater costs in power.

Ps What ever you do DO NOT Steal the power!!!! :wall:

Thats the biggest reason people got caught, its easy to pin point the house that is stealing power even if you are temporally connecting and disconnecting the meter.

Ps dont tell them I told you guys. ;)
