Thin it's meant to just getting rid of the part about posting pics of your plants. Think the 1 post per day still applies. Thats how I took it.
 
Jeez...I have to check the testers this morning......Still not sure what happened with em.
:vibe:I have hope, just checked and 1 of wife's passion fruit vines have peeked out.:vibe:
Going to just let em sit a couple more days I think.

Im using leds. My draw would be 5kw, a 3kw jump from my average 2kw per month. But i have 5 bedrooms, the average household use is 1kw per bedroom. So what im asking is even if its a big jump from my average rate of consumption would it not get flagged because its about the average house hold use of 1kw per bedroom
How are you figuring our usage?
The biggest impact is heating and cooling. The lights are not that big of a load and you can lessen that load by keeping the lights low(height wise) enough to maximize the needed intensity to help the girls to meet their DLI. You can maintain this intensity and cut back on the HOURS you run the lights. As long as you meet the plant's DLI, running the lights longer is wasteful. You can go from 18/6 to 12/12 and lessen your overall load. With winter coming, You could run your lights 24/0 with the driver in the tent to take advantage of the heat and backdown exhaust if your humidity levels will allow it.

It just depends on your specific situation on what's the most effective for you. We can only tell you ways to lessen your electrical usage. It's up to you to observe and for you to figure out what's best for you at that specific time and conditions.
 
Next month I’ll be growing a few more plants. Anyone think a large spike in consumption will look suspicious if its under the average household use?

It's usually the timing that is most obvious. Just start mining bitcoin during lights off to keep the usage steady.
 
Still cloudy as hell! LOL!

The way i read it is .. she's drumming up a last call for the competition with 3 days left. Rules are still the same, you can make one entry per day (but chat about other Mars stuff if you want) .. And it doesn't seem to matter if your posting the same plant with the hashtag she wants.

More enteries you make (max 1 per day) .. the more chance you have of winning.

So it's kinda like the opposite of the one that i'm running for halloween :rofl:
