* Residents rarely appear to be at home, and attend the house for brief periods of time (such as a few hours) before leaving. Despite this, radios or televisions may be left on all night, making it sound as if someone is there.
* Visitors behave strangely or visit at odd hours
* Entry to the home is often made through the garage or side/back entrance, to conceal activities.
* Windows are boarded or covered up, preventing light from entering the house and concealing activities inside. Bright lights may be seen escaping from windows, and the windows may have a layer of condensation on them. Even though the windows are always closed, air conditioners never run.
* Equipment used in the growing operation (such as large fans, lights, plastic plant containers and other items) are carried into the home.
* Sounds of construction or electrical humming from equipment may be heard
* Hydro meters are tampered with, and there are signs of digging or disturbance around the outside hydro box. There may be localized surges and decreases in power.
* Strange odours are coming from the house. Marijuana growing in the house will produce a strong, skunk-like odour that you may be able to smell from outside the house.
* Exterior appearance of the property is untidy. There is little outside maintenance done (unshovelled snow, uncut grass, etc.), and garbage bags containing used soil and plant material may be disgarded in areas surrounding the house. Mail delivered to the house may be left unchecked, so that flyers and junk mail pile up in the mailbox.
* Warning signs are posted in windows or around the outside of the house. These may warn people to "Beware of Dog" or that "Guard Dogs" are on the property.

Well if the government let people grow it outside in there gardens they maybe wouldn't have to worry so much about these indoor growing operations.
