    Default Uk Grow With Smart Meter in house.

    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first thread on this forum so please forgive me if it is a bit rough around the edges!

    SO i have the opportunity to commence a grow in my new house that i recently bought, only problem is the house already had a smart meter installed before i moved in. Is there any way around this or any danger surrounding these meters? Should i be wary of the meter or should i just crack on as if it was not there?

    Have no experience with smart meters and how to grow around or with them so just wondering if anyone else has any experience they can share with me on this matter.

    Any and all advice much appreciated!

    Regards
    Rigos

    Money Saving Expert have articles on how to get the smart meter replaced with an old fashioned one.

    Hope it all gets sorted quickly.

    Valentina,

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Just had a quick look and could not find an article on how to remove one they were more focused on installing one.

    Could you send me a link if you have the time please? Would be much appreciated.

    Regards

    Keep your grow small and electric within reason. You can grow 2 nice plants in a small tent under 315 watt CMD.

    Hi M_C,

    Thanks for your response to my thread, would you not worry about it even if you was running say 5/6 600w hps and all the things that go with it?

    Hey Rigus, 6 x 600w is a substantial amount of lights running, much more than youd need for 10 plants or for personal use. I run 2 Leds (220-240w) which uses so little electricity I wouldnt worry if I did have a smart meter.

    Don't think you will need 5/6 x 600watts for 10 "plants sure get away with 2

    That's a lot of light mate! That's a lot of weed too lol. Personally, I wouldn't like to go over 1k watts. 600w hps, and 315 cmh. A set up with 3k watts is massive, a 1.2 x 2.4m tent with 2x 600w bulbs will yield you over a kilo in weed, that's more than enough to get even me through until the next crop is done

    The three rules are, don't tell, don't sell, and cover the smell, but it should also be added, don't get greedy. Loads of heat will be produced by that many bulbs, choppers will have a better chance of seeing it. And if youre caught with a set up that size, the punishments will be more severe.
