12 lights 5 ton ac 170 pint dehu, fans exhaust and co2 plus veg space gonna be a pretty hefty bill monthly especially during summer. Runing double that on the west cost and bill for our one month of running only 12 1000w was 3200.00....also w the tier system out here the rapage is real after X amount of Kwatts and we are well over that mark every month! Id say your at least looking at 2500. Icame into the thread late but I hope this will help give someone a decent estimate at what you can expect your bill to be around

Nice things you got rolling GO....
FPL is the least of the worries. As long as shit not blowing up and bill being paid no worries. The common thing that get most growers is not containing smell. Smell leakage is worst enemy as it invites thieves. It also alerts noisy neighbors who think once they smell it you have a nuclear plant that will kill all the kids and animals. Even the cable company can be more threatening then FPL. Thus a majority of digital ballast interrupt their signals especially if you running long cords with 4 to 6 lights or more. It cause them to inspect... they can tell what time the light come on to the seconds.

cat, it does get a spoiled kind of smell but more rank skunk and like sweaty old laundry imo
I used to grow in florida, tampa to be exact...teco came rollin in and told me I had 4 1K lights, 54 T-5 tubes, and 2 tons of a/c powering my grow...I was basically told to shut down or they would call HCSO...if you guys think they don't know you're fools...whether they care is another story...pay the bills on time and pray they don't care...if you have a smart meter they know when the lights power on and off...food for thought
C'mon, even you don't believe that. In fact, i call bullshit. First, theirs NO WAY IN HELL that Teco would know any of that unless you told them. Theirs NO WAY they'd know whether it's a 1000 watt lamp or a 1000 watt pump thats running 12/12. let alone a T5.
And If they did know they sure as fuck ain't gonna threaten to call LEO unless you shut down. Total and utter bullshit my friend.

please let your ignorance not put you in jail...resistance lighting gives off a very particular signal...flouro are different than surges than 1K HPS lamps...a/c has it's own signal...why the fuck would I come here and share my dilemma with you florida guys if it weren't so...ask anyone I know here, I don't cry wolf...they have been watching the consumption values in the part of the county I live in known to LEO as the green acres...I had no idea as to how much weed was being grown in this part of the state...I had 4K come on at 6am and go off at the same time for 14 years...they are able to isolate the sine waves to determine what and when...4K firing is way different that a continued drone of a pump running of a bunch of T-5 flittering away...I was told by a friend in the investigative team if my consumption wasn't altered asap there would be further action on their part...lights went off and all is well...as for you're insinuation that I am less than truthful, I'm cool with that but ask yourself why I would go there...seriously, you calling me a liar makes you out to be the fool...I've been in this game longer than you've been breathing...you don't make shit like this up...
So now it was a friend in the investigative team huh? I called you a liar because the story is bullshit. You know damn well there are guys right here running FAR more lights than you and never have issues. I don't doubt you shut down, but the whole story is BS.
Isolate sine waves? Please explain how?

HAHA! You came here to bolster yourself my man. Your story is BS. All of it, except for maybe that you're not growing anymore.
Power companies and LEO CANNOT arbitrarily monitor usage. And high usage alone is not the predicate for an investigation. And TECO can't tell the diff between the flouros in your kitchen or Lizard cage or veg room.
Your story and claims hold no water bro.

you didn't google it did you...your wrong on every front and nothing I'm gonna say will change that...if you care, google it and see what an ass you just made outta yourself...if you don't, you'll come back flapping your yap like your doing now...if you do and you see the oceans of info as to how they delineate different consumptions you'll most likely be too embarrassed to reply...I don't think you got the balls to research what you got the mouth to spew...
anyone else concerned with security needs to be informed...please humor me and research it...I'm done with this...you make the decision

Informed of what? You came here with some grandiose story and i called you out on it. The one spewing is you my man. Google what? How a smart meter can be used against you? Duh. But that's putting the cart before the horse. TECO doesn't have some magical algorithm set into their system that flashes a red light whenever usage is deemed too high.
I call your story straight up bullshit. You're not growing, that i believe. But i suspect the reason behind you shutting down is somewhat less spectacular...

...well anyway...
i just finished florida growing out these strawberrydieselhazes. strawdeez as i call it.
pheno#1 diesely i guess, i always thought that taste was "kush" fairly dense. i'm actually loving it.
pheno#2 very leafy, not sure if it's the way it grows or becuase of grow issues. smells like orange marmalade when dry. not oranges, but specifically orange marmalade. taste its like a candy flavor with hints of spice and artificial grape/bubblegummy
i'm currently florida growing clones of #2
and also
the WBK#1(white berry kush)
this revegged Border Haze#3 pheno
/ also the #2 pheno from a clone
and lastly
this northern lights clone, larrys cut.
and a seed from a selfed male hermy i'm growing to see if it might come out a male.
