Club 600

[jigfresh]

LOL everyone still on the same topic?

whodat, I got a smart meter, but then again, I'm supposedly legal, so a little different scenario.

Mayhem looks like fun chaka. Hope it wasn't too hot up there.

Duchie, love all the green man. You got some skills.

Super funny shit. Landed in LDN a couple hours ago... didn't even make it out the airport before having some twat make a comment about 'those rude yanks'. My friend and wife were already in an elevator, this guy wants to go in and so do I, so I get in and he didn't think he had enough room... so I get a nice British welcome. Alls well though. I don't mind being the stupid american. Really green here. I can see why people like the summers here. Football on the way, test cricket on TV... life is awesome.

Oh, my one contribution to the ongoing debate or whatever. In my opinion someone has a terrible judge of character, ignoring people they should listen to, and listening very closely to people they should ignore. It's an exercise in futility. Always something going on in the 600.

Sorry, I got nothing about growing. At all.

Thanks again D. Really really really appreciate it bru.

Will you grow those out in pots or are they going into the ground Bud?

Most of those ladies are are actually going indoors to finish and the rest will be potted. But i might try one in the ground this year, i tried last year and got junk so im determined to get it right this year.

So what do you usually cook on a parabola, mensa?

Just came across this~~~

Mernin 6-as.



EDIT~ Dez bro, did you get my pm?





Scoped some outdoor spots this morning just as the sun was rising, I may be able to work this, nothing huge but enough. I decided against setting up an indoor grow because I have a smart meter and got freaked out by it...
Anyone else on the 6 have a smart meter???

I don't have a smart meter, didn't even know what one was until I read your post and researched it. What's your concern?

 

[DoobieBrother]

Some people's concerns seem to be that a Smart Meter gives the power companies the ability to monitor power usage.
This allows for automatically flagging an account that seems to have suspicious power usage habits and/or amounts.
Further are the concerns for the flagged account's information to be automatically forwarded to LEO at any level of jurisdiction.

Not sure if it's truly happening, but it's all possible now with the Smart Meters.

 

[whodatnation]

Thanks doob! That was my main concern.
Iv also looked into the harfull effects they have on your body because of whatever frequency they give off.

Happy two thousandth post in the 600 btw!

 

[DaSmokinBear]

they arent monitoring smart meters like that....meter reader still has to go out...its just they check 1 in 10 or sumthin like that(they never check mine but regularly check my neighbors)....as far as reporting practices...the smart meters havent increased reports or flagging for suspicion...i dont know this for fact, its just that there's a ton of growhouses in humboldt with smart meters and if flagging or reporting had gone up then there'd be way more busts goin down...there's way more home invasions than busts here

 

[Saerimmner]

man air con is a real dilemma, the first dude who can invent an awesome one which doesn't need venting and can just sit and make cold with not heat should get a growers nobel or something. still can't believe it got that hot in your cab D.

mind mine was 31.5 at midday so i knocked one of the 6's off

Hmmm stay there I may just have one in the back sir..........this kinda thing any good to ya?

Where I'm at they drive by the houses & apartments at a slow speed to collect the info remotely and automatically.
We live in an apartment, so ours is checked individually and not averaged, and I would presume it would be no matter for all houses to be scanned in the same manner.
One of these days everyone will have Genius Meters that are broadcasting directly to the power companies (could send pulsed feedback signals through the existing power systems using packet data for continuous real-time reporting, or just have a contract with cable companies to interface their meters through the internet).

But I live in a bud-friendly state, with a power company that seems to be more concerned with bills being paid, and power not being stolen.

I let them know I grow cannabis with the use of smoke signals.

Lots & lots of smoke signals.

I had mine changed back from Smart Meter to regular meter (it's easy to do, Whodat, as long as the energy bill is in your name). Cost me $75, plus a $10 monthly fee... but I'm with you. I worry about the crazy radio frequencies being put off by those things... that, and I just feel that constant ability to monitor my energy usage is none of their business, regardless of what they say. PRIVACY is our right. I still have two more that I have to get switched out of my building for that same reason.

Sorry to those of you in the 6-0-0 who I offended. I know I wasn't nice. I just have a low tolerance for some people, sometimes (and by the way, I have no problem w/ female growers-- I love DAT, kiki, etc they are awesome, and super knowledgeable peeps). That's no excuse either way. I, for the record, never claimed she wasn't who she said she was. I just thought... well, it doesn't matter. It's done now, and I'm rocking the ignore feature. Peace and love.

I like to send "SOS" in morse code to them by flipping a high-current appliance on & off to see if anyone is paying attention.

Hey thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with how my gardens turning out too. It really does have a lot to do with hanging out here and learning what I have the past couple of years. I can't wait until next year now. This garden is just too small now. lol

I have a smart meter and haven't seen a meter reader since it was installed. We have three different peak times. Off Peak; 7am to 7pm, and then there's MID and ON peaks which alternate between Summer and Winter blocks. They each have a kW/h rate. When I go online and look at my account I can see my kW/h used hour by hour for any day I select. We do really good at doing things OFF peak and you can definitely see out usage increase every evening around the 6 to 9 slot and then quite down some.

I have baseboard heaters that use up to 1500 watts each and in the summer there's the A/C. Lot's of other appliances and such that we use that draw current like our lamps do so I really can't see how they'd be able to notice, or better yet, differentiate anything from 600 to 1200W. Anything more and I may get concerned myself I think.

 

[DoobieBrother]

Hi, duchie

Agreed.
Appliances that consume a couple thousand KW/hr, or maybe even more, depending on their "average usage" statistics, would slip right under the radar I'd imagine.
If people don't need heat, they need A/C, so I'd imagine it's no big thing.
Something to be aware of, but not fretted over unless going crazy with the grow size in a non-MMJ area or without proper papers in an MMJ area.
Sigh...
You'd think if they REALLY wanted a pacified civilian population they'd go 180-degrees and enact the "Mandatory Usage: National Cannabis Horticultural Initiative" (M.U.N.C.H.I.) and start us young & keep us medicated to the grave...
...but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[duchieman]

If I have to be oppressed that's the only way I'd want it.

So here's a laugh. Or at least I think it is, particularly because I know the bozo's that just moved out upstairs. They handed over the keys and pulled out by noon and they left us a mess to clean up let me tell you. Anyway, I go into the room where my garden's going to go, open a closet and look down at a handful of dried fan leaves, staples all up and down the drywall with little bits of foil sticking out of them. I tell ya I had to howl when I think about my garden sitting right under it. hehe. Well...back to work.

 

[duchieman]

I was waiting for the global mod to contact me, hence the L O N G goodbye. however, thanks for the hint. I don't think the global mod is gonna delete me so I will delete myself. peace.

Again, I have no idea what really went on here, nor to I care to, but as far as you go I have no opinion or judgement of you whatsoever, yet. With that said, I'm not too concerned whether you leave or not, I was just pointing something out that I observed. Whatever you decide I hope it works out for you.

Funny thing. I was talking with my daughter the other day about when I was her age, before computers and instant messaging, we spoke verbally and sometimes things came out of our mouths before we could give it any sober second thought. Today, they have to type everything they say, or even better, upload everything they share, which comes with an ample amount of time to consider your words or actions, and they still say and do things they wish they could take back.

Too bad, so sad. What's done is done. Yada yada...

 

[whodatnation]

MUNCHIE! Lol, there have been manditory hemp growing laws throughout both world wars.

Duchie, hahahahaha thats some funny shit! Shitty people usially have shitty gardens

what's funny is that he's been above you while your odors and smells have drifting into his place he's thinking about you, "if he only knew...."

Amazing how fast her rep bar grew in such a short time lol

And he was probably wondering why his ona gel & carbon filter seemed to have only sporadic effect.
Little did he know the Devious Duchieman was down below him, gaslighting him with dank aromas at every turn!

Thanks for the feedback on the smart meters. I dont have the balls to grow indoor right now.

Have you had your daily dose of melons?!?! If not Iv had enough for all of us lol.

Yeah I read both of those possibilities. Don't see the purpose of them really. The way I see it the power company would be stupid to flag anyone b/c they're good paying customers right? lol

Have a great week 600 peeps.
