SCARED! i'm close to shutting down my set up...

If it makes you feel better, ive had 2 friends use 1000W+ in 1 bedroom apartments with E bills around 400 a month. It's not the actual temp of room the IR picks up but basically right in middle of bulb b/c the HPS/MH burn around 2000F. I would use some IR blocker that you can get from a local indoor garden supply. If you do use it, you will need to line full room to about 1ft off of the floor. Kinda pricy but it's "supposed" to work.

1. Don't have party's or even be stupid at all.
2. Don't tell ANYONE!!!!!! Really cant express that one enough.
3. Stay as far away from trouble as possible, this would include- NO FIGHTS, NO SMOKN N DRIVIN. I mean its really common sense.
4. STAY PARANOID- It's actually good if you are aware of your surroundings and scared basically.

Im to the point where i dont even hang out with people b/c ive had experiences over the last 4 years, and learned to not TRUST NO ONE. And if you do harvest, say "IT CAME FROM A FRIEND" otherwise you defeat the whole purpose.

That's all i feel like typn on that subject, Good Growing and stay smart!

EDIT: One of my friends was HORRIBLE with security, their was 10+ people that knew about it who were sketchy, Girls, Friends friends. OMG he didnt pay his E bill for 3 months. THIS IS WORST CASE SCENARIO HERE. got cut off. Was getting a E bill for $900.00. HAHA Bottom line- i stopped hanging out with him and got him to delete my name,MSG;s and phone number from his phone. IT WAS STUPID, and hopefully he can be succesfull with it.

Your mouth is your worst enemy. As far as Infrared , if they use it and they don't have a warrant to , then it's an illegal search (check your local laws to make sure). They have to have a very good reason ,i.e: probable cause in order to obtain a search warrant.As far as buying lights , nutrients , etc. chill out , the cops have much more pressing things to do than worry about a closet grow-op.The main thing is to keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.

Best advice to anyone growing - keep your mouth shut. PERIOD.

Been said:
No drinking and driving
No fighting
No cops at your door because you were yelling at your wife
No speeding tickets
Pay your damn electric bill and don't be late - thats all they want
No traffic in and out
No parties
Harvest - package - freeze - enjoy
Shaddup about it

Did I mention keep your mouth shut? Because, if I didn't, keep your mouth shut. :stoned:

Oh, and keep your mouth shut. :thumbsup:

One last thing:

Keep your mouth shut. :thumbsup:

i agree i had a app in the town near where i live and it was a big party pad.. tons of people knew about the set up i was running...
i has been a couple years since then and i am only now thinking bout re-growing..
so keep yo mouth shut.. i only let my roommate in on it cause he helped me to build the rig and has been very helpful in the past.. he's an electricial and can get shit for me from the supply place they go to.. haha

Had a buddy get caught that way, 8 sherrifs at the door and he answered it with a bong :stoned: Funny thing is they just took his stuff and left him there with a ticket and court date...wish I could've been that lucky when I got my possession charge years ago.

Police are unable to get a search warrant from using a thermal image camera. The only way they can is if you say put some dead leaves in the bin and they have the right to look through your bins, so be careful where you throw away your stuff. Buy a small ozone generator that plugs into the wall, gets rid of any smell within 20-30 mins, really good for small grows.

try not to paro out too much !

put some moth balls around so they mask the stench ive got squirrel cages venting the air up to the top of the house with moth balls inside the ducting and a screen at the end to keep them there

ive never had any problems and my grow is quite a bit larger than yours

as for the heat thing...id like to see them try to get me with just the heat sigs from my house that could be my sauna for all they know and they dont get to come anywhere near here because no one knows about it

Two people know of my grow me and God and thats one more person than id like lol

Paranoia is NOT good to have when you have a grow you want to smoke as little as possible :wtf: who the fuck wants you to be paranoid when you are stressin the cops are comin for you then you will do stupid shit like cartin ur plants around hidin em at different araes or *gasp* cuttin the little things up and flushin em or somethin else stupid

What he said!!!
Peble...How's it going? Hope ya didn't have to pull it!!

I did a small grow a while back and let my room mates know about it since they lived there too. By the time I harvested probably 20 people knew about it because they couldn't keep their mouths shut. I was introduced to a girl and the first thing she said was "I hear you always have great weed cause you grow your own." Another time I came home one day to see my room mate showing it off to a chick he was trying to impress! My recommendation: 1)Don't grow if you live with others 2) for god's sake, keep your mouth shut and tell no one.

Remember no one minds talking about someone else's illegal activity, because it's not them that will be going to jail.
