I've got two vented hoods, I'm gonna run em for a couple o weeks to get everything perfect before I put the lassies in, when I get a bit of experience behind me I'm gonna run with bare bulbs but I imagine the exhaust is gonna be a bit louder without the hoods, we'll see how it go's
do you run ducting or leave one side of the fan with no ducting?
loud as fuck when theres no ducting on both sides of the fan.
sorry if that makes no sense but i dont know if you pull or push the air

Yes,i suffered the pre-grow paranoia,so decided to switch lecky suppliers before starting {in case they notice the surge),so went to http://www.uswitch.ie/gas-electricity/ and found that Bord gas were cheaper than mine anyway...
But as GG says,one of those big ass electric radiators woould burn twicew as much as your bulbs per hour.
Still wondering why you're doing Autos tho,.

You can get magnets to help slow the leccy down instead of hardwiring to outside
Be careful, the meter in my new house has an anti magnetic switch, when I attached the magnet the power cut out, had to contact the company, they gave me a warning, ok on old meters, goodluck
Yeah the magnet thing is getting old now, they're installing new meters everywher. The new meters have a relay switch inside them that is tripped by the magnet. I know a few people that have got caught recently. I think you can press 0 on the keypad if you trip the relay but you only get one chance, if it trips again you're fucked
wait, are these new updated spinning disk meters? or magnets being used on the new digital (non smart meters) ones?
They're being used on the old digital pre-paid top up meters

Dunno about other parts of the world, but in the US the power company acts as a buffer between growers & LEO. They don't much care how much power one uses so long as the bill gets paid on time & the immediate part of the grid isn't over taxed.
Stealing power changes the whole dynamic. The power company cares a whole lot about that & will gleefully set LEO on a mission to ream out your nether orifice should they detect it.
Don't do that. It's a fool's move that increases liability & risk.

I agree 100%. It still amazes me how many busts I hear of where they were stealing power.
