ok thaanks for the info i guess but i live out in oklahoma so i was thinking if i went out into the country and grew out there my chances of getting caught would be drasticly lower

Deal with odor, and don't tell anyone. Then how can you be caught? Electricity usage for small grows is not that expensive. Computers run 500 w power supplies so a 400 or even a 600w light is not much more.

First rule of the Grwoing Club is: Tell NO ONE

Not a friend, a relative, no one. The less that know, the better.

over here i need to help you out a bit.....in the case of lights you're right, the power that the lights consume is 400-600 watts but they consume that power constantly, on the other hand, the computers they have a maximum output of 500 watt.....this means that a computer can power up devices to a total maximum output of 500watt....more or less a normal computer will consume around 200-300 watt per hour of operation....the remaining output from the 500watts is like power reserve in case you want to connect any other components into the system and upgrade it.....
other than that, judging by my own experience so far, i can tell that running 2x400 watt hps is safe enough as long as you do not tell anyone about it.....when i grow i try never to raise suspicion of any kind....i try to keep low profile etc.......a sad story is one of a friend of a friend who got caught by the police..... while he was taking his dog out for a walk he thought it was safe to smoke a joint in the street....that was his mistake, he was growing as well, propably a better setup than mine, more yields and more more more bud.......the cops arrested him in the street because he was carrying a joint with him, to smoke it while he was walking the dog......never do that.....better safe than sorry as people say....
as a summarize,

a:do not tell anyone
b:do not carry joints around with you
c:do not raise suspicion (lights,smell and music)


you have to realise that the cops are not going to come into your house looking for weed if you are a low profiler and do not raise any suspicion and do not disturb/bother anyone......


finally try to install power saving bulbs in the rooms that you use, by getting 10 21watt energy saving bulbs instead of 10 normal 60-100watts incadescent bulbs you will manage to keep a balance in your electricity bill with maybe only a small monthly raise to the consumption of electricity......be cool and you'll be fine.....



take care and happy grow

well i guess i broke that rule. I'm only growing 1 plant, but i swear EVERYONE i know knows about it, like i get introduced to someone and they are like "ohh you're Chris as in Chris with the plant. hows it going by the way?"
But my friends are all cool and i KNOW that these people wouldn't try to rip me off. Also there is no way in living hell you could get into my house without someone not hearing because we have 4 freakin noisy dogs, and also my plant is kept in my room at night so no it wouldn't get ripped off.
So..if you don't want to get ripped off, don't tell anyone. the less people know the less the chance of any undesirables finding out that you grow.

you're very very lucky.....why?
it is far easier to eat the entire plant if the police is right outside banging on the door (i hope not),
however i feel like saying this......for me it sounds a bit stupid the idea to grow one plant.....what if it turns out male?
is it really worth the trouble that you're into (everyone knows about it already) only for one plant?
