just FYI, high electricity bills (due to powering the lights) is a dead giveaway that you are growing pot. im no expert at growing pot (considering ive never done it), but from what i gather, they need heat and light. a high amount of light is easy to provide with far lower power consumption by using LEDs/OLEDs. it doesnt take a genius to keep an area well heated, just have very good insulation some special long lasting candles... but be sure not to burn the place down, so a good fire detector setup would be apt. the standard setup seems retarded as it's very inefficient... but i guess that's what you should expect from a bunch of potheads. oh and if you think running a diesel generator in the basement for the power is a good idea, please remember that it puts out carbon monoxide and will end up killing you in your sleep.
im not an advocate of pot or support it in the least... but if you are going to do something, do it right.
