Moving into an all utilities included apartment. What do I have to worry about?

Im moving into an all utilities apartment and I need to know if I have to be scared of the power consumption. Im going to be running 2x600w in a tent and pumps, fans and all that good stuff doing an sog or probably around 60 plants on 12/12. I am going to be paying bills on time, acting normal as ever and working my job to make things a little easier. I plan on getting a feel for the landlord first, but could running this set up cause suspicion or is it too small to raise eyebrows?

Tell your landlord you have a number of high end gaming computers that draw a ton of power and that you expect the bill to go up X amount (It's up to you to determine what X is) and is this acceptable. If not please raise my rent by the required amount to cover the additional electricity.

Now you're a responsible proactive tenant who wants to pay their rent and bills. Your landlord now loves you.

yes.

the L lord knows about what that unit uses as an average.

your description of the setup is almost 1/2 of a normal non growing HOUSE

hehehe, given that high ends run over 1200 watt power supplies, and almost using all of it... specially if they are quad carding 690s!!!!

Thats is a good idea, but if you talk to the landlord about more power dont you think itd be a little sketchy? I will talk this over with my partner, but I personally like it. Any other things I can do to help myself?

Well the landlord is going to know how much power your unit draws anyway. What's sketchier? Being upfront about your power usage with a most excellent cover story, or having the landlord wonder why you use more power than any other tenant in the building?

I grew in an apartment once. My ebb and flow sys overflowed and dumped 10 gallons of water into the downstairs apartments closet. Because the landlord liked me and I was a good tenant they let me remove it and didn't call the LEO or evict me, which they could have easily done.

Being on good terms with your landlord is a good thing an can save you later. (We also got inspected far less than the other units.)

I would definitely come up with some sort of story about why you might be using more energy than the last tenant. Better to explain it before something comes up and you haven't given an explanation.
