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.
