I'm in a utilities included apartment-oops

[amatuer hour]

Fucked up. I didn't want to go big right away anyway. I'm hoping I can get out of this lease in 6 months. I'm signed for a year.

I'm in a med state.

My question is not really of legality or risk, but of fairness. Do you think it is "fair" of me to run a 150 watt grow in a utilities-included apartment? I live alone, and most people here are couples. Thus, they use more electricity. I also use Flouro bulbs around the house, and do not use an air conditioner.


What do you think? Is a 150 watter fair to the property owner in this case?

 

[headiez247]

Yes. 150watt is less then most large tv's

 

[schwilly]

I'd say 4-600 watts is more fair. 1000 may be even fairer.

If it gets cold where you live it can offset heating costs. Win/win.

the very smallest common power supply for a computer is 250w more common is 400w
my gaming PC has a 1000w power supply, granted it doesn't use all 1000w at all times but it can.
a hair dryer is 1500w so is a space heater

150w isn't even a blip on the radar of a one bedroom apartment

Wouldn't hesitate with a 150

Just want to reiterate that this is a studio apartment, so it's not like I can use a bunch of stuff to hide it in.

Thanks for the immediate feedback. Really appreciate it.

Pick a small tent or cab, or DIY. Best wishes

Get a 250 and have fun!

 

[Warped1]

I guess with a 150 you're not blowing it up lol. Grow your own and be safe

 

[Crusader Rabbit]

150 watts is turning the lights on over your sink.

 

[barnyard]

I second that...

good to have a veg and seed starting set up in addition to the flowering lamp

you could also go LED maybe

 

[OjoRojo420]

Fair is as fair does so go ahead and blow the place fairly well!

At least a 400W.

ROFL...Its 'amateur'

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

My desktop pc is 300 watts. If you've still got a tube tv, it's prolly 500.

 

[FunkBomb]

If there isn't anything in the lease about power usage, then use as much as you'd like. I can bet most of the other people in the complex are thinking the same thing. That's a big selling point these days with how expensive utility bills can get.

[supermanlives]

up to 600 wont barely be noticed if you consereve on other stuff

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

I ran 2000 watts in an apartment for 6 months. they started to get suspicious when the neighbor kids cold smell sensi star I think, so I moved.

I imagine 150 watt isn't your problem. Containing smell in a studio is a bigger worry. Make sure you get a big ass carbon filter and a silencer. it is worth every penny to add the silencer as well.

studio apartment? prepare to have nobody @ your crib or break rule #1.......

 

[Strapped]

hey bro, the main reason land lords do the "utilities included" deal is so that they can turn off your power if you don't pay rent. I'd say go to town as long as you pay. If he/she says something, just offer to pay the balance
