    I have a friend who is an electrician and has recently bypassed his meter, I'm really interested in how long it will take before he gets caught, hes using 4x 600w and a 400w veg setup, I will be using almost the same amout of power for my grow after week 4 of flower and my grow will cost me £900-£1000 but I'm sure I wont arouse suspicion so to me its worth paying the £1000 for the peace of mind, my mate might be saving a grand but its a big risk and will cost him a whole lot more if he gets caught.

    excuse I use is I have electric heaters on all the time as they dont have central heating, they dont bat an eyelid

    So if I use my 1000w, how will I keep the heat down?
    Is it a case of getting a larger filter/extraction fan?

    when i started growing my elec bills was sky high cos of all the pumps n heaters it was around 500 per month for house elec and grow along with a swimming pool .ive managed to get it down to 250 a month now that the swimming pool has gone and my large veg room , but what am saying is they dont give a shit as long as you pay for it. there a business at the end of the day there giving you elec to make money

    medicine / bio-fuel / oxygen / building materials / proteins and essential oils/ plastics
    and textiles/ hygiene products / tree-less paper - and this is an ILLEGAL plant??
    name one other thing in this world that has all those benefits!

    yup, you could try an aircon unit but you'll probably be extracting too fast for it to keep up.

    if you are buying a bigger extraction fan, go bigger than you need and get a speed controller(or better still a fan with one built in) then you can increase speed in summer and reduce in winter to control your temps.
