1. don't tell anyone - Absolutely A#1 most important

2. manage your electricity, use less electricity around the house - Not as big a deal as people think unless you are going big time / large scale

3. if a cop does show up, don't let them in; if they have a warrant they won't ask permission. - True

4. manage your odor - Yes

5. manage your light leakage - Yes

6. lock your growroom securely - Yes, real securely. Two type of locks. Secure the door jam. Make it so someone would have to break down a wall to get in.

Others:
1. Don't deal if you have a grow room in your own house or on your property or where you rent or whatever.

2. Don't constantly turn your friends and relatives onto weed that looks and smells like it's been home grown. Make sure its completely dry. Press it between two boards with a heavy weight for a few days so it looks like it was bricked.

3. Don't always be the one who has a seemingly unlimited supply of bud and does't really seem to be concerned about the expense of it. Don't be overly generous.

4. Don't forget about noise control. (The sound a fans, exaust, ventilation odor filters). Should not be audible from outside the room / closet. Soundproof the walls and door if needed.

5. Don't constantly be discarding grow type garbage in your trash (empty soil bags, perlite bags, planting cups and containers, etc. Save it up in large hefty bags. Throw them in your trunk discretely and take them to a dumpster.
Burn in your fireplace or otherwise get rid of all old plant material. Dont have any more shit around than what you absolutely need to keep things going.

6. Keep any type of contraband, papers, pipes etc in a locked box of some kind.
