I've always heard that as a rule of thumb, you can easily get away with (1) 1,000 per BDRM. 5 BDRM house (5) 1,000 watt'ers w/o a problem. But that's for states that are NAZI Bastards.

Heres another funny clip. What a total douchebag this guy is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQr9ezr8UeA&feature=related He has broke every promise me made to get elected. Even won the nobel peace prize. For what nobody seems to know. rofl.
No kidding. I moved to Cali from Florida for this very reason. Florida's attitude towards MMJ is stone age.
Someone else already covered how smart meters work, this is how the usage looks like using a smart meters diagram:
Now just imagine how a 12/12 or 18/6 looks like on that!
Florida's power companies are in alliance with the authorities(dicks). They have very strict growing laws there, and they're 2nd in producing indoor grows. Damn bro, I hate to hear that. Keep ur head up bro

So you guys are saying they can tell by the 12/12 cycle? that is fact? once when i had a device that was functioning incorrectly and pulling mad power, i had a power company person come knock on my door and offer to see if he could reduce my power usage. I let him in and he found the source of the high power usage. No weirdness or anything. do you think ur 12/12 had something to do with it in your case?
Yes^^^^
Google how many grows have been busted like that in FL>>>>

I never thought about the damn smart meter thing. That would be hella easy to spot grow cycles. Now it makes me want to run another cab just so my power usage is constant instead of 18/6 or 12/12.
I am 100% legal but I still don't need anyone fuckin snoopin around trying to make sure I am legal. Can't wait til I get my land, my wind,solar,water power and off grid.

Yes, the 12/12 is a dead giveaway if you have a smart meter. Don't want to scare people but if they are looking it is clear as day what you are doing. You could get around that risk with a flip/flop setup using two growrooms OR grow autoflowering strains under 24 hours of light. There are some pretty kickass autoflowers out now that are just as good as regular strains.
I remember attending the prelim of a friend who got popped in Cali 25 years ago.
The attorney for my friend asked the cop who had flown over the grow how he identified the crop growing under a cloudy fiberglass roof? The cop replied the plants underneath the fiberglass were consistent with the typical color of Cannabis. The attorney asked the cop who claimed to be an expert, had he ever seen Cannabis plants that were dark green? That were light green? That were golden? That were purple? The cop wanting to show his wide experience said sure he had. The attorney then asked what was the typical color of Cannabis? The cop had no reply, but it did not matter as the Judge had already decided, and bound my friend over for trial.
Point, there is no justice, and the police, judges, are all just a bunch of Fascists, don't let them get their hands on you...
I saw the photos at the trial, no way you could swear what they were, guess, sure, but what happened to beyond a shadow of a doubt? I could not believe it, what a joke, American justice....

A few years ago before the housing boom went bust they busted dozens of grow houses in the Port Saint Lucie FL area in one year. All belonging to one guy in NY I think.
From those bust the government supplied new toys for state drug task forces. They started finding them all over the state. It has been a huge infusion of funds for local governments and police. Now police forces all over the nation are crying because the feds are cutting back funds.
Sorry to hear about your bust. But you are not only a victim of the war on drugs. You are a victim of greedy criminal enterprises that don't give a damn about small or personal growers and will drag you down with them. Good luck

Because it takes an hour to dry a load of clothes and lights run 12/12 or 18/6 etc. Instead of having a peak in the graph it would look flatline 3000K steady 12 hours off and on each day at same time.
