And.. it all should make your exact usage (via the RF signal) easy for certain uniformed azzholes to record. I stopped listening to Alex Jones years ago but this is a conspiracy so in your face it should piss everyone off. Besides all the malfunctioning, fires, health concerns on record out there since they started installing these! Anybody that has had one of these meters installed i'd love to hear your thoughts...

love it, no meter maid, really dont know why people are tripped out about them. they do not want to come to your house is what it tells me.

I've got a smart meter and they still come into my backyard to do readings.

I asked the guy about it and he shrugged...

I don't want strangers in my backyard anymore...

My power bill is usually about $70. It Jumped up to $212!! so $142 extra.
My setup:
- 600W Mh for veg now in flower hps....does mh use more kwh then hps?
- booster fan running on max 240cfm
-oscillating fan on max
-floor fan on max
- floor fan intake on max

That was the heavy month for veg 18/6 cycle now on 12/12 flower. Power shud be less....I'm planning on turning down max settings by a notch ( 3 to 2 setting on fans except booster) and getting rid of intake fan and adding 16in wall mount oscillating fan.

Do I need a fan for intake or can I use passive? I have hole in wall 1ftx1ft (intake)

I'm hoping next month's bill will be $150 or less.

I know its a dumb question, but I gotta ask cuz I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.... You DO have your 600w ballast on a 240v line right? And is the exhaust on full out, or on a speed controller? (I got no proof, but feel them things are more problem than solution)

And having a smart meter n tiered plan, have you made sure your 12/12 schedule lines up as best as possible with the longest period of lowest cost power...

That's not a bill. When growing good weed expect 1k a month on power.

I don't get it.

I was smoking a joint the other day and watering my plants and i look over and there's guy on my back porch.

I'm like wtf!

They called me this AM to schedule an appt to switch my gas meter out for a digital one, I'm obviously apprehensive...

Maybe its just something you hear but I heard they get 1000 or 2000 dollars for turning in a grow house I bet thats like 2-4 pay checks for thoses guys

when I look for rental houses to grow in, I make sure they have digital meters, if they do not I move on to the next house.
