    As said above, say you mine bit coin. Or that you keep reptiles/tropical fish. those heaters and UV lights and filters etc run up the bills just as much as a grow does.

    Many thanks for all of your replies lads. Some great advise for growers in general.

    I had the same thing a few months ago, self reads jumped sky high and they wouldn't/couldn't accept it . The meter reader just turned up on my doorstep out of the blue, no appointment. Read the meter and fucked off. After all of my worrying nothing became of it. Was talking to the meter reader when he was here and he told me he had just called someone to gain entry and they pretended to be a answering machine

    One of the mean reasons I went for smart meter, all the issues with readings

    Mind you, they can see when you switch the kettle on now, and my 12/12 lighting

    It knows that 800w ish is being used for a 12 hour period but not on what. The problems comes when the usage is analysed and the exact same pattern is found every night for 3 months and then it stops (unless you grow continously). Over a year if you have done 3 grows, there are 3 distinct usage patterns for that account.

    Power company 'probably' wouldn't do anything with the data but who knows, especially with the possibility of Medicinal legalisation around the corner and licence fee's etc.

    Reason for not having a Smart meter installed if you grow weed

    My grow runs uses solar power about 50% of the time in summer. I don't export but my meter drops to 10 watts during the day and then the excess goes into batteries. They aint seeing shit
