    A touch of BS that he only has 10 plants in my opinion.... if im wrong, sorry..
    My mate grows 8 Luton Cheese plants under 4 600W lights, his last crop was 96oz dried from those 8 plants... not too shabby.

    He could have a big marine fish tank, they take shit loads of power between pumps, lights, skimmers, etc... or a big welder or a big tumble dryer. Mine is 3.5kw.
    The list of excuses goes on....pay your bills on time and i dont think you have a problem.
    This is just mho tho.

    Yeah but the welders and tumble drier don't work 24/7, if you compare 3.5 kw drier that runs for 2 hours 4 times a week that's 112 kwh per month.
    6kw lights running 12 hours a day that's 2016 kwh, and double that during veg 4032 kwh per month. quite a large difference and can definitely cause suspicion.
    There are many power companies in many countries that flag too high and even too low consumption.
    But many don't as long as you pay your bills.

    In all the I've grown and read about growing, I have never come across somebody being caught by means of using too much electricity.. Pay your bills and you'll be left alone.. Keep your heat down & you'll be Good.

    In my state for example many of the big raids you hear about in the news were flagged by the power companies.
    Then again, I live in a police state, but to be honest doesn't sound like the UK is much better off.

    Boys boys boys, look lets put this in perspective right. If you havn't paid a bill for ages then yes high usage will flag. If you have paid it will still flag. Its what they do with that flg tho. Pay the bill no policey, dont pay they get pissy and act out i.e cops.


    My heating is on 24/7 pretty much aswell as extra heaters, tumble dryer all time.

    the heating alone is 8,000 watts tumble dryer is on more than off, 3000 watts, computer on all time, 600 watts, my grow 18 hrs a day 1,200 watss at full tilt. Its whatever you make the norm, if you have high usage all year round then it aint really gonna flag. Its when it goes from 3-4 quid a week to 100 quid a week that leccy comp will wonder. but pay the fuckers and they call the boys off. You leccy theifs out there getting us 3/4 legit growers a bad name. grrrrr pay yer fackin bills lol.

    Mate no one gives a fuck anymore where i live, boiler engineer was telling me bout his grow other day, not that i told him anything loike....God even me nan's on the goods. Its a plant not a gun

    years ago i had damp in 3 rooms one was my grow room, took a while before i found it was a small leak through the roof, was seriously bad with fungus/mould on ceiling and walls and the carpet, i was running a dehumidifier 24/7 and those old machines cost a bomb to run, i was running a 400w light and fans trying to grow, it could be as long as 18 years ago my bill was over £300 month. nowadays i run 600w hps and fans plus a small aircon, monthly bill nowadays averages £160, thats one hell of a hike nobody questioned why it went so high or why its now so low.
