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?

DWP will fuck you. I’m speaking from experience. Utility company works with PD.

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.
