so you got 400 - 500 clones that your gonna double to 800 - 1000 and have them all under 24 1000w lights

this thread has been beneficial in the specific talk of experiences growers have had or heard of. But it's plain ludicrous what the original guy is talking about. Funny as heck, try to run 4000 watts for a show and try not getting busted, bit easier.

dude this is just my oppinion but im working on setting up a grow op half of the size you are talking about and i wouldnt do mine in one single location. im gonna be spreading it out between 2 or most likely even 3 different grow houses. you should try to down size it quite a bit at lease when you start and then gradually make it bigger cuz that is def. way to big for one location or even 2 for that matter. but thats my oppionion. trust me start out quite a bit smaller than that and work your way up to where you wanna be. alot of people get caught usually cuz they are too greedy. and id say by the looks of it ur obviously in it for the money. so am i but im willing to make less and work my way up little by little. how often are you planning on harvesting?

12,000 watts is a big draw for the average residential account. And 21K-24K watts is unheard of unless you live in the Clampett Mansion.
HondaVixen is right, the company will almost certainly come and inspect your meter and possibly replace it. But more importantly, they will want to know why such a huge draw is not on a commercial account in your area. Unless you live in Houston where zoning laws don't apply, the power company may alert the city that some sort of light industry is going on in an area zoned residential. Depending on city ordinance, the company may not have a choice.
Something about this does not sound right, however.
I can't explain why exactly, but I can't shake this fishy feeling about someone with six posts asking about such a large grow operation.
We're mainly a bunch of hobby growers and medical patients here.
I grow tomatoes.
i dont have many posts but yet im trying to get a large grow op going. the only difference is i do more reading than asking. i dont think there is anything fishy about it. me and this dude have a couple things in common.... we both seem to love marijuana and we both love money. making money of them is my hobby.

no thats what he is planning on doing. this thread is him trying to find out if that setup would raise a red flag using so much electricity like that which it would. i say start out way smaller and then gradually add more lights and stuff.

i actually have 2 of those kinda friends who will be starting there rent free living hopefully next month. its not that hard. money is hard to come by for alot of people. i know alot of people who are willing to take the risk for a free place to live and a little cash on the side as well. like 10 percent maybe a little more if they are greedy and they know you need them.

Whoever posted that they look into you for owning a couple of houses is out of their mind. I own 8 houses in the same neighborhood in fact their within like .5sq mile of each other. They don't look into shit but lowering my taxes due to revitalizing a neighborhood. The op is also off his rocker. I bought the house I grow in now strictly because it was zoned dual commercial front residential back.
The dude that said to tell them your running a business is right. Tell them your running Internet servers for a gaming network. The consume alot of power and are on 24hrs a day 365 never turning off unless they crash not to mentionthey need to be cooled as well. Just a thought

You are out of your mind thinking that you are under the radar with that kind of grow size! You will for sure be noticed without a doubt...I can guarantee you that they pass some of their "red flags" down to law enforcement...GUARANTEED.

New members popping in and asking how to set up massive grow operations make members a shade nervous.
It's scarcely different from someone with one post looking to score.
Low post counts (like yours, by the way) coupled with unusual questions are red flags around here. Deal with it.
Like it or not, the coppers do monitor this site. Some to gather intelligence about the community and growing in general, and some in the hope that some dumb-ass will entrap himself.
So you will forgive me if I smell bacon frying from time to time.

im not trying to say that its not suspicious, it might be but the number of posts means nothing. ive had a diff. account other than this one before my old email got hacked so ive really been a member on this site since mid 2008 and 75% of my posts in 2 years where in the last month. obviously he is in it for the money, and seems very greedy from the start but i dont think anyone would have to worry about it. how is it gonna hurt someone else if they give advice on whether a certain amount of lights would cause suspicion? it WONT. thats all im saying.

Does the electricity cycle raise a red flag? If I'm running lights on a timer, then that means the lights are coming on and off at the same exact time everyday. Does the electric company notice a pattern like this?
I searched the site for an answer to this question but couldn't find it.
