GreeeeN GRassss · 10-23-2014, 08:04 PM

1.2x1.2x2m

upgrading soon, well i have been saying that since this time last year. there's always something else to pay for.

Will I raise any red flags running two 600s, especially during summer, I have an old fireplace in the upstairs bedroom so that's where the exhaust is going but I've read somewhere that if I use too much power they might come round thinking I'm a commercial premises,,, I have only one shot at this, if caught it's back to the joy.

.I find it difficult to keep the temps down in Summer,so i take a break.I did try vert,which works,but i werent getting the same yields as horizontal.
My Lecky bills are about €35 a month more than normal.but thats only using 1x600w.
Remember youve also got at least 2 fans and a ballast,at most basic setup.

GreeeeN GRassss · 10-24-2014, 05:23 PM

no theres guys running multi 1000 watts im sure. even some big irish growers on here. dont forget its winter now and you need extra heating on

them fan heaters are 2400 watts. due to your medical condition you need the place to be warm

theres storage heaters in every room in my house, i wonder if i turned them all on what power it would pull 4000 watts easy id say.

You've put my mind to rest G.G. The paranoia was taking over, I'll be posting the grow when I set it up, goodluck t'ya.
