chances of getting busted, slim to none. flir reads heat(ir) not plants.in doors use mylar, good insulation and a dryer vent or chimney.the heat signature of two 1000k lights would look like a glowing blob. next they will probably check light bill. they are after the cost effective busts.something they can get press and funding, not wasting tax money chasing cancer patients,or small timers.remember with flir you have distance,a moving object and vague resolution.(blurry image)plus conflicting heat sourses. i'm x military intel photographer.u.s.n. most people get busted for something stupid ie; x girlfriend, smoking joint at red light,landlord etc. so keep low and quiet and good luck.

What do you think the REAL chances are of a personal use farmer with 4 plants or less using LED and CFL to cut down on the infrared signature are these days? I am of the opinion that unless I tell anyone other than God about my garden, the chance of the police getting involved are like those of winning mega millions lottery. What do you think? Rating: 5
