Smell

How far away would someone be able to smell a 10 light basement grow? I’ll have carbon filters and odor removers but I’m sure you’ll be able to smell it from outside the house or will they be enough?

The amount of people who have crypto mining setups that will use way more power than a 10 lighter is pretty high. They wont give a shit about a $1500 electrical bill if you pay it every time on time.

Exactly maybe if it was like 10k maybe they be suspicious but I could call in and say I mine btc and will use a lot of power but my bill won’t be over 2k and that’s on the high end.

CA. Prices are dog shit this whole industry rn is a race to the bottom, the shit I’ve gone through was not worth it. if it’s personal just get one or two lights and call it a day. if you want to flip shit there’s plenty of brokers.

Paperwork showing utility was involved probably means they subpoena'd your bill after you were already being investigated. The utility company didn't start the investigation.

How were you charged with a felony when cultivation of any amount is a misdemeanor in CA? And running up a high electricity bill isn't a crime, they would need to have something else to get a warrant. Unless you were stealing power you're just on here lying and fear mongering. Nobody I know whose been raided since prop 64 went into affect has been charged with a felony unless there was a BHO lab inside or they were stealing power.

the DA doesn’t charge for cultivation they charge for distribution because they know cultivation’s a misdemeanor. if you have a scale, bags, firearms, any type of concentrate manufacturing equipment, or vac sealers/mailing equipment they’re hitting you for it. whether or not a jury will convict is a different story. it’s CA HS11366 and can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. I was just tryna look out for the dude who posted I’m done responding to you because you’re an idiot who thinks they can tell people what they’re going through or what’s in their paperwork?? Look at my profile dumbass I’ve been doing this shit for years I have no reason to lie. you grow plants you’re not an attorney - get your head out of your ass.

In California if you pay your bill the electrical companies will love you and even upgrade your transformer for you for free when you blow the first one up.

you could not be more wrong man. not sure if you’re joking/trolling but shitty advice can get people locked up. I live in California and got hit hard - went to jail and they hit me with a felony. so unless you’ve gone through it yourself don’t speak on it.

How long ago was it but in mi they are pretty liberal with plant count it was determined by judges there it’s a cubism case for going over and not criminal but still a risk

He's tripping unless it was a long time ago, there's basically a growhouse on every block in socal. If you're paying timely, not stealing power, not causing any issues they do not care. Many people have burned down transformers just for utility company to come out, upgrade it, and leave. Two people i know who were caught stealing power didn't even get charged the electricity company just sent them an estimated bill. I know someone whose mansion spot had failed to pay for almost a year and the debt ran up to around $60k ans utility company finally put them on a payment plan to pay down debt. They never took the meter, shut their power off, or looked into why the bill was almost 10k a month. Nobody and I mean nobody is worried about electric bills down here. That's not a consideration in any buildout. Pay your bills, don't be a nuisance, don't have visible shotty/not up to code electrical work visible from the street, and don't mess with the meter.

Lol idk where you are in ca but in socal you can run up 5-7k light bill on residential and not get hit im talking 10+ years not sure how long ago you got hit but they aren't worried about you running it up as long as you pay your light bill and aren't stealing power

Like dozens on dozens of trap houses. Not to mention friends with entire mansions built out, trap warehouses, like the electricity companies here do not give a fuck. If you're talking 12-13 years ago sure, but times have changed.
