How Much Power Is It Safe To Run In The UK
i wouldnt be suprised if they were interested in busting 1-5 lights, remember these cunts get paid to do just that and fuck up your life. its a small scale operation and should slide under the radar but, the boys in blue are interested all the same.

If you are that worried then find some led drywall. It's used in the medical field around x-ray equipment. The standard is 2 pound's of led to every sheet of drywall and led tape to cover the joints. Led is the ONLY way to grow and not been seen by inferred equipment. You do need to hide the exhaust too.
This is very expensive like in the US it's 135.00 a sheet but 2000 USD now is better then 10-25 years for growing & another 25,000 for the lawyer bill. Just to put the cost in perspective with the charges you could face. Where you live I don't think they are going after the home grower anymore I thought the law was easing up in the UK?
Good luck to you.

Well, Ive never heard of the lead drywall before.... and as far as i know lead has no thermal blocking abilities. i could be wrong tho...... i have 3/4 styrofoam from a home improvement store. They sell it in 4x8 sheets. Used to insulate a concrete foundation from the dirt side, its very sturdy and installs easy. use silicone to the walls and on all joints.....
not sure this will keep you safe from the infra red but its better than nothing, not long ago here in the states they ruled it a violation of our rights to use those heat sensors on us.
Was a case where they busted the guy and he got off based on the scan being an illegal search of his home.

Hey thats a good point i have never realy considerd the heat patterns before but i always thought it was only realy an issue if you were growing in a roof conversion or something my grow room is at the bottom of 2 floors so i think they would have a hard time seeing it. As for the laws regarding cultivation in the UK its very much dependant on if they can prove your selling it or your just growing it for personal use. Its unlikely you would do jail time for anything less than a trully major operation and even then only if they can prove you are selling it. If they can link money that your not supposed to have to your weed thats when they start to get serious and the max penalty is still 15 years in the UK..

Leo has FLIR installed in most all of their choppers. They fly around looking for heat sources then call in an anonymous tip of a possible grow opp. Yes led drywall is available and will block all radar types. Itâ??s used in the medical field to block X-Ray and to hold radioactive material safe for storage.

hi zemcimil
if your in the uk mate as i am , and by the sounds of it your in a old victorian house then cant you exhaust up a chimney, i do, any body flying over looking for heat are only gonna see heat coming out of a chimney, just where its supposed to come from lol, i also find that air extraction is a piece of cake this way and very very effieciant, as for burning 4000 watts, yes it is a lot, be safe mate burn your lights when the household is most active, if your burning all your power when most people are sleeping then that may atract unwanted attension, yes its still iligal here in the uk, i think you would be hard prest to convince a jury that around 250 plants are for personal use eh !!!, be carefull mate and peace to you
