4400watts in a 1 or 2 bedroom house need advice

From what I've read about power usage leading to a bust, is that it was always the piggies who started the investigations. They went to the power companies w/their bullshit. The chances of it happening to you are slim, becuase not every pig department has a relationship like that w/ the power company. Only real thing to do is to stay away from aggresive pig department.

I don't mean to doubt you, but 4400 watt indoor grow doesn't seem as if it will produce the weight you need to properly stock a dispensary. Perhaps you could cut down on the wattage and use this house to grow out clone mothers, root clones, and veg out said clones before transplating them to several guerilla locations

hey north cal lol every one so negative... why the negative vibration???? if you do this id say get some lower watts and light moves or 1000 with light moves... now used something like genetal hydroponics follow instructions... make sure everything is air tight and get some water cooled air conditoning... if you do this the heat is no problem..... now about not staying at the house make sure you have it clean cut the lawn every now and then... be nice and try to put a fence up :) best of luck ohhh get bubble berry thats the best tip

People are a lil to paranoid. If you live in a city where there's over 5 million people, do you think that the power company is gonna waste all those resources just to report you to LEO...Uhhh, no. I've ran 3600 watts not including equipment in a 2 bedroom apt, I've ran over 7000 in a 3 Bd house, and never had any problems. Just pay the bill, and you're good brohamski. The power company doesn't know If you have a house or If you're a 7/11 cooling down on your drinks and ice cream and what not. They just want there loot...

norcal, no offense but it would be wise not to listen to members with 40 posts or so...trying to read 'what you want to hear' a lot of people here like to internet brag, but fact is they may be weighing wet herb, and miscalculating the facts, saying they've run more watts than they actual do... not to mention no pics mean no experience in my book. If you think the feds aren't going to mess with your 5000 watt 1 bedroom grow surely posting a couple pics would not be so suspicious and would not be dangerous.

Greed will be your downfall. Go get some advice from yamaha fan or someone running 5k+, they are on here posting pics and are proving to be successful at it rather than a bunch of guys running their mouths, no offense to you guys, I am sure its possible you did as you say, but like I said ask someone who can SHOW you and prove they are capable and secure/smart enough to do so. Plenty of good folks around here I am sure wouldn't mind a quick PM...I am sure they will help you in many other ways and answer questions that you should surely research as well.

peace

I sey go for it but i would use this web site there are multiple threads where people are doing exactly what your talking about. Most of them worked there way there over time but if you followed there guides. Some guides are insanely descriptive and well made you could probably pull it off. I think this thread wont help you very much.

norcalpurps, no offense, but your talking about setting up good commercial grows, yet you say "i dont have the time to learn hydro" or you cant even spell properly. Seriously, the only people i hear type shit like N E instead ANY or that internet slang are 16 year olds. At least learn how to talk properly, im not buying shit off some kid in baggy shorts and a white tee talking to me about his purps, you need to carry a more professional demeanor if you want to succeed in this. But hey fuck my advice right, for my own interests i should probably want kids like you to fail so go ahead and do your thing!


not trying to sound like a dick though, im all for what you are talking about, we have the same mindset, but it doesnt look good to see people come on here thinking they are gonna be the next tony montana because they set up a 5k grow. Now im not saying you think like that, but i sort of get the idea you are in this to get rich quick, which im not gonna lie, we all want that right??

and you got a club connect? with all the latest laws i would think twice about flooding a club with peez, shit i dont even touch clubs because they are the first to get hit, a steady connect is gonna throw red flags with the latest laws they are forcing on bay area clubs and their supplies, thats the MAIN thing they are after right now too, they want the clubs that are getting their shit from underground co-ops and untaxed commercial grows, they love that shit. They get to steal your money and turn your daily driver into a undercover patrol car.

At the same time, good luck with whatever you do. Cant knock the hustle, but seriously if you have to ask about a 5k grow being hot in Nor Cal, (which its not, if you follow certain precautions) maybe you should just think twice about every move you make, show extra caution.

For a 5k grow i wouldnt use a 1-2 bedroom though, gotta find a castle out in the CCC or something with at least 4 rooms, but even thats hot, i hear rumors about them pulling grid info at subdivisions out in brentwood and the 925. Oaksterdam is your best bet, but you gotta watch out for thieves and stickup boys more than cops. The best place to grow is frisco, but the rent there is ridiculous.

You can easily get 2-4 oz per plant but off ten day veg??? Im running coco with 2 week veg and i will be very surprised to get even two zips per plant. I dont feel like checking your post history, whats up with your grow!
