I've heard there are now LED grow lights, but I imagine that is solely for very small grow ops, like a "grow your own" type of thing. Anybody know if there is any truth to that? Granted, you'd still need temperature control units, which can easily cause a high utility bill.

With the LEDs you get the equivalent of a 600watt hps bulb with a 100watt LED basically. They really don't give off any heat so you save a lot of money on hvac as well. They are expensive, but they last like 10 years.. I've seen some mixed results with how they work..

The amount of power you would need to be self sufficient would get noticed when you shut off the river heading out of the cave to get the shit in place and built. Considering how important a water source of that size would be, it would definitely not go unnoticed. This couldn't be done on some tiny little creek.

Yeah I don't think building a hydroelectric damn is very practical.

You could do like the farmers do. Have fields of corn and grow that shit in the middle. Of course you'll have to shoot down any prop plane that tries to fly over your land.

this video is super old, i am surprised nobody here saw this years ago.

electric bill is one of the factors that LEOs use to locate grow operations. If the bill is abnormally large, you get red flagged for further investigation.

LED has become the new top of the line lighting system of choice for Reef lighting, and also gardening. however it is very expensive per sq/ft, and they still draw a decent amount of juice at the intensity required for plant / animal sustenance.

they are using the power usage down here to pop growers, litterally they monitor the electric bill and if your usage goes up, like way the fuck up, they report it to the cops

o rly?
