planning to start a small grow in spring.
problem is I'm not sure how peeps get caught. do the mj plants stink, like pure bud? i
would miracle grow work? how bout jiffy pellets? and whats the lowest wattage light i could use for plants, how bout 15 watt? is 15 for 12 hours a day
enough for pg&e electricity to get suspicious?
also whats the lowest temperature mj can strive in if protected by frost.
 i know im new to growing that stuff

until you have 3000 watts worth of lights or more I wouldnt worry about suspicious electricity usage.
the average PC uses 1000 watts
my 1000w HPS costs $40 a month or so.
people get caught by stinky buds OR big mouths
miracle grow sucks dick
jiffy is ok for seedlings till they outgrow them after the first week.
If the weed has nice sticky buds they can survive a frost and will produce more THC
and thats not even touching on what you really need to know to grow

Peeps get caught mainly by being overly trusting with other peeps.
Jiffy pellets work great for starting the seeds, yes. Just throw a few in a humidity dome and you'll have some nice sprouts in no time. The sprouts may need a little help standing up at first but you can give them a helping hand with twistems. I like to take 2 twistems (unseparated) and just separate the end so it forms a "Y". Then you can use that to prop them up until they get nice and strong.
For lighting, think more like 400 watts. I have a 400 watt metal halide lamp which is adequate but I think the high pressure sodium ones are supposed to be better for flowering. If you're really serious about doing some growing then it'll be worth your while to invest a couple hundred in a good lamp. What's pg&e anyway? Pennsylvania Gas & Electric? I wouldn't be too concerned about anyone getting suspicious over the extra electricity used by one good lamp. After all, you could be using that lamp to grow legal plants, right? It's really just the people running the really clean large scale operations that have to worry about that.
Oh, and I'm not sure why you're worried about temperatures and frost because it sounds like you're planning an indoor grow so hmmm...  Anyway, hope this helps. I should have made you find this stuff out for yourself though.

i looked, didnt find much here, maybe looking in the wrong places?
it is indoor, but it gets 30 degrees here inside the house, maybe it will be fine if its away from frost
i'm interested in wtf is actually touching what is needed to know.
no one has a link to somewhere with step by step?

It's really not as hard as you're making it, I think, bro. Just get a good light, pot 'em up a little at a time, have the light 16/8 for a couple/few months then cut it back to 12/12 for like 8 wks., water regularly (if growing with soil), air circulation is a plus, stay away from mircale gro but guano's good for the flowering and then when you harvest, hang tehm shits upside down for a couple weeks in a dark room. That and prune some of the leaves off before and/or during the flowering.
I think that's most of all there is to it if you're not doing anything like lst/scrog or whatever.
P.S.: It gets 30 degrees inside your house? I'm sorry man. That's pretty shitty. I would definitely advise against growing them somewhere that cold. Find another spot in your place to grow. At least regular room temperature is good.

You remind me of the chick on Weeds. Maybe you should just hire some people to come to your house and set it all up for you.

People get caught mainly because other people snitch on them. I am sure that some people are caught due to smell but I would be willing to bet that most busts are due to informants/tips.

Hmm, dutch is right, you wouldn't even need a fridge or freezer. Cool, think of the electricity and money you could save.

I once went through 12 days of no power after an ice storm. My house was 30 degrees - it took two days to get back to 68 once power came back on!
But yah a single 400 HPS is negligible in terms of power consumption, and can be made to pump 1-2 oz per week done properly. Of course that would be at room temp . . . better fire you day cycle overnight lolz

Wait for outdoor!!! you live in CA, the only place better to grow indo outdo is my hood!
pm me ill give you a "tek" on mj
you can grow with a 15watt, but youll end up with shit!
indoor's not a hassle, but its a lot more work than outdoor. gotta worry about wattage, spectrum, lumens...etc...odor...etc...
find a good outdo plot!
if you really wanted to, and are worried about your electric bill, grow with a few 50watt cfl's. ppl say cfl's make your buds airy, but u just gotta get the right spectrum cfl's
ill get you the lumens chart, and explain to you what works best and when, but keep in mind, the sun is is the best grow light in the universe!!!
