Pardon my french, but fuck me runnin'. It boggles my mind to think my electric is so unreliable. It's just after eight in the morning in currently sunny central florida, my electricity just bugged out again, just like it did for a couple of seconds yesterday morning right around this time. I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard space, my gut feeling is to write a scathing letter to the local electric company basically saying I feel like I'm living in a third world country. This is no lie, my electric goes off an average of fifty times a year if not more, and it's been happening for years. It's just that I'm at the end of flowering and it's really pissing me off. My only saving grace is that my t-5 comes back on immediately and keeps the room from being completely dark. The front of the tent I keep open since it's on the same schedule as my hid lights.
That seventy five bucks or so that I spent on my CAP HLC-2e has turned out to be a great investment. It won't let my lights start for fifteen minutes after a power outage.
It's not my electric in my house. I just had a new 200amp service installed six months ago. My circuits for my grow room are dedicated circuits, nothing else in on them but my grow room stuff. It's not an internal problem in my house. I pay my electric bill every month, it's even gone down with all my stuff running since three other people that were living here are no longer here. My average electric bill with four people here was around two fifty a month higher in the summer. Last month it was just over two hundred, this months was just under two hundred. Oddly enough my monthly usage chart is eerily the same on the back of my bills.
So, any suggestions? I really, really want to write them and just blast away but my mother always told me you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Should I try the diplomatic route first?
