Hello Pro Growers,
Getting caught is probably the most common fear that any grower in a non-legal state/country could have.
Obviously there are a range of factors that go into "how" a person can get caught, and the one that is the most mysterious to me is that of being flagged for "excessive" electricity use, thus becoming subject to some type of investigation.
What have y'all heard/experienced in terms of "maximum" elecrtricity use before one runs the risk of being flagged as a possible grow operation?
I hear of people having 12k in lights and growing without worry, while other posts are people with merely a few hundred watts and they're shaking everytime a car drives by. But realistically speaking, what factors go into this? Example: apartment growing compared to a house? House w/ 2 bedrooms compared to 4? Rurual compared to Suburban compared to Urban? Utilizing solar panels compared to being plugged directly to the electrical company?
Please illuminate this issue and/or provide a link if you know of a similar post where this topic has been thrashed threadbare.
thanks.
