it has been mentioned multiple times. he uses a pfc, which is sort of an equalizer/current cleaner in a sense. Same thing that new high end computer power suppliers use...cleans up the current and allows for more efficient use of the electricity. Keeps cost down somewhat.Quote:

I have many friends who live in areas where marijuana growing is very prevalent, and they run similar large setups to Tranobles. Pay your bill on time and no energy company is going to say no to all the money you bring in.
Actually not in Canada. We have publicly supplied power so there isnā??t a profit incentive. They actually run a lot of programs to help people lower their power usage.Quote:

There is no way that people sit and go threw every single hydro bill. I know this cause I have a family member that works at hydro.
I know many of people that have $5000 hydro bills and up and dont have any grow op. There is no way that Hydro can pull your bill just cause its a high bill. That would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. If someone tells the cops that you have a grow op and they pull your hydro bill and its high then your in trouble. This is how people get caught. Not cause you have a high hydro bill. Allso why would hydro want to screw you when you are paying them lots of money?

In the states companies want higher power usage so they can make more profit. They even go further like lowering supply so that demand exceeds it and then jack up the price because of the shortage (enron).
I’m just stating how different our system is. Nothing to do with grows
I dont see anything about you stating how different our systems are. I am posting realating to the post where u stated on Racerx post. Look back a few posts. He said that he knows of alota grows ops and as long as you pay your bill on time you will be fine. You said "Actually not in Canada."Quote:

And that is why they are trying to bring down average consumption. Nothing to do with getting caught
"no energy company is going to say no to all the money you bring in." (i am just speaking to the differences in our systems in regard to this statment)
this is not the reason you dont get caught. it is because it is done by computer and because averages very so much. as you said
Hey Tranoble sorry i missed your thread but i just read about 5 pages of it and it's really interesting. could you take some pics and give me the exact specifications of your veg/cloneing room and the lights you use please that would be great thanks.
Sorry i took my camera snowmobiling and it hasent worked since. I dont have a veg room. I have a cloning rack that i built and use it to clone the clippings i take from the 1 room and then I put the clones in the other room. Saves me having to buy clones for both rooms. I have friends that give me clippings or I buy clones for just the one side.
