Thanks for the thoughts
@archie gemmill and
@912GreenSkell! My thoughts have been leaning in those general directions. Electric is read monthly but there is so much varience around here with A/C use that I don't think that will be a problem. The yearly inspection is in June[coming up soon]so I think I will be between grows then. The apt. people have become used to my not wanting them in there when I'm not home because of my medical companion dog, a 57lb Siberian Husky! Skell, my cardiologist read me the riot act yesterday because my heart function has dropped markedly. Must quit smoking.....that's going to be a trip after 50 years of smoking cigs. It was probably easier to get off of 5+ yrs of high level opiate use than quitting cigs....as I sit here smoking away. At least I can use the money saved on cigs to set up my grow! Looks like I will have to join you in chasing the elusive green dragon.
