Question regarding electricity consumption.

He hasn't proven shit. Chances are his "dismal" results were a result of several other factors, his nutrients, high temps, high PH, spidermites, powdery mildew, etc or he had shitty strains.

Chance has nothing to do with growing, at least for me. I've grown the strain in question several times before, no mites, pm or ph problems, maybe an early overfert in the beginning of flower, but nothing disastrous.

It was the lights, or lack thereof that caused the biggest loss in yield. That's with bare vertical bulbs, but I don't see how a set of hoods would IMPROVE side-lighting and overlap over a bare bulb, it would certainly decrease it.


For the flip-flop fans that suggest a flip as a means of countering electrical surveillance, how do you plan on explaining the 4,8, 16KW CONSTANT draw to anyone that asks? There are very very few devices that use anywhere near that much power constantly, 24X7X365. The only thing that would draw that kind of power would be 2-3 servers per KW. Are we all running dozens of servers in multiple racks?

you say that are running almost non stop, you run a flip flop, so the power draw is constant, and of course there will be flux and flows but that is normal, if it was completely steady then it would look weird

the power company doesnt have time to monitor daily flux in electric use, you have justified the use and the spikes

and the spikes dont come with labels haah I get what your saying, they assume its a dryer or a tv ect.

Is that a real graph of a bill?

I know it would be a pain but you could possibly kick on a generator and put a inter lock on the circuit breaker to prevent back feed. With enough money you could automate.

Wonder what that might look like?

Idk lazyman, but the 12/12 light cycle is any better, some thing with constant draw are like fans on grain bins and alot of farms have hire hands and the farm has someone working it 24/7

Yes it is.

One of them.

There are many different types!

Why don't you guys simply use Google????

Why do that when we have you ?!?!

LOL Good info man

I spoke with olyer, the nowirenut.ca guy, I know he is not the holy bible of smart meters but he told me that they identify those readings by the power draw when the item is turned on. He said he doesnt think there is anyway they can separate and identify items that are running, only when they are turned on
