Do everything you can to bring your electric down. However when they came and busted me they said they checked my electric and it was high. I told them my electric had never even smoked any. LOL Then I ask how high was it. The answer I got was, it just went up and we checked. The fact is the electric company wants your bill as high as it can be. Some large homes run a thousand a month from pools , hottubs , sona's.

Bottom line is they don't check and the electric company is only losing that money if they tell the cops. How about winter heating ? Everytime we have a very cold winter you must be growing ? Or A/C ?

A 1000 watt light, A/C small, dehumidifier, air pumps, water pumps, intake and exhaust fans. All running are about 100 dollars to my bill.

The thing about helicopters is mostly BS. I for one don't want to waste A/C or heat which ever is needed so I insulate very well. Then they can see no extra heat from the air or ground. Yes they have inferred night scopes they carry around and can spot heat from the ground or the building next to you. So insulate well and it looks like no more than a hot tub at best.

The thing that got me was I broke the rule.

Never and I mean never show anyone your setup in person. When they get busted that's a warrant on you. It was my nephew that got me. We can talk about it and show pic's on here and even go to the park or beach or some one elses house and burn one and be safe. If you get busted it is because some one saw it in person. It's the only way to get a warrant, or you sell to some one.
