Yea I get the whole thing they cant warrant me based on that however they can obtain the info from the electric company if they already suspect. But I rather stay stealthy as much as possible. 90% of my garden is not marijuana. I get by on a couple plants, but I wanted to expand my pepper collection.

if your not growing mass amounts of MJ why worry??? dont know about Canada but in the states if your electric bill is payed on time then its no worry. if they report a spike in electric every time the power company would go out of business. as long as you pay i dont see a issue. these people just want there money now if you try to steal power and they find out your more than likely screwed.

Yea your right bro. Im not stealing it. I pay my bills. I just didnt want to flag myself or something and they smash my door and wreck my lighting and stuff. In the end its only a couple plants but I dont want the legal hassle. Trying to keep control over everything. Know what I mean?

i know what you mean for sure man but like i said if you pay the bill on time and have a spike in power they make more money right so why would they want to say enything they would literally lose money!!! they love you especially if you pay lol they are no different from any other company in it for the money. but like i said i live in the states so things may be a little different not sure if it where me and my concern i would get a second opinion just to be sure but im comfe with it lol hope i could help bro.

No worries....Like has been said, if youpay the bill and don't do anything stupid like rig a jumper to steal the power, you will be just fine.
I live in a mobile home that is barely 1000 feet with all electric apliances and climate. I also pump my water from the ground with a well pump and run my garden.
I use T-8 floros for everything from cuttins or seeds, all the way through to grow stage (2x4bulb 48"@32w each=256w). I bloom under a twin 600w hps=1200w and my bill runs just under $300.00 a month. I have been running this garden for a couple of years now with no problems.
You will however become creative in your efforts to offset the cost of your garden by doing things as simple as turning off the breaker to the water heater for all but an hr or two each day.(this can be HUGE if yours is electric..)
So, just remember that the biggest threat to your garden is YOU.......you cannot tell or show ANYONE without reasonable consern that it is no longer a "secret garden"!!!!

Here is how I get my electricity for growing for pretty much free during 6 months out of the year. Your HPS puts out a lot of heat, so do not vent it outside. Filter the air and send that heat inside your home. I have done it this way since i first learned not to grow inside during the hot desert summers. DOH!!!!!! I once had a $600 a month elect bill in a two bedroom condo, that was usually $150. I was fighting the 118 degree temps outside. After that i started growing during the cooler months and just venting inside my place. My heater hardly ever turned on even during dec-feb. Now I live in a much colder area. And my elect bill jumped $35 when I started useing my 600 watt HPS.

I love it. I can grow all year if I want. I have a spare room which is 12x10 that has a 5x7 closet in it.dude i am pleased to hear there are other mobile home growers out there

I use 8x10 of the room for bloom, saving the other 4x12 as a control room and a place to recycle air from garden. It acts as a "lung" you might say....I don't allow any air to escape the home.
I use the closet as a cloning and green room so that I can run a perpetual bloom cycle if I want to.....
Here's a shot of the latest batch of girls....4clones @ 7wks & a scrog that is 4x4 @ 10 days...
You should check out my albums for an idea of how it all works.....
