I'm assuming monthly billing and about 13ct/kWh electricity price. This means they suddenly started using about 3270kWh more per month, which translates to an average of 4.4 kW steady consumption. Now what can we do with 4.4 kW? We can power at least 3 of these and another 700w model next to it, giving us a 57 sq foot weed plantation. According to this site 3000 kWh will get you about a pound of product, worth somewhere between 4000 and 5000 dollars on the street. Since they are already behind on the rent, i would assume they are not crypto mining, since it has a huge upfront cost, and even at 4.4 kW i'd say it's too small-scale to really turn a profit. On the slightly less nefarious side, it could also be that they tried to safe on gas cost and switched to an electric space heater, which can run into the kW, but would probably not run constantly. I was gonna mention a short, but a short of this size ~36A (assuming 120V) would almost certainly trip a breaker, and if it doesn't it would probably set the house on fire. However, maybe they just really like taking saunas or maybe they're making beer. In conclusion: This is a rather large spike in electricity usage, and can get you a lot of money if used for weed, but could also be attributed to less illegal purposes, and I believe in the inherent good of all people (and that weed should be legalized) so I wouldn't jump to conclusions if I were you. Maybe just go talk to them, go like "hey I noticed your electricity bill has jumped, just came to check if everything is alright, if there's no shorts etc."

Just wanted a realistic time frame Until it gets here. Its my first grow and i want the best for my baby. I appreciate your help bro.
I see, I can sell the one I have actually since my cousin already told me to pick one extra one for him.
I haven't bought the tent yet so...
Which light would you buy for a 4x4x7?
Or I could also get this tent since it is a great price https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9N29SC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 as opposed to the 4x4 vivosun I was thinking
Something like this would be fine I guess: https://www.amazon.com/VIPARSPECTRA-Dimmable-PAR1200-1200W-Light/dp/B01N7CEW5Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519244908&sr=8-4&keywords=Viparspectra+PAR1200+Dimmable+LED+Grow+Light
My main concern is heat generated by the light and Energy consumption.
Thanks for your help btw
Sorry, I didn't mean that brand wasn't important. I meant I'm not brand biased and open to any suggestions. But yes, I'll share with you the links to the lights I was considering.

I will have one 5x5 with either setup mentioned above and two space totes using a 600w led light each. I'm trying to use all of the same brand equipment to limit the amount of manufacturers to keep up with and monitor warranties with. Any suggestions, experiences and advice welcome.
