Thermal Image resistance???

[litespeed]

get a small poll and run the pump so long all a day add a lot of lights have them on put in gas water heater but use a lot of Ele. hot water, when they come there is nothing they go away.

they do look for it,depends on where you are ,How they look.
some places using things like this now
so ya be carefull

Can anyone tell me any good methods of thermal Image resistance?
I heard something about lining your grow room with rockwool and mylar?
Is this a load of bullshit or does it work??

Hey this is real. the cops do this on a reg basis. they usually do it at night but if your lights are on during the day it is hard for them to catch the heat from your growroom. No lights at night unless you want to be busted. although there are certain flyzones they have to stay in as we all know, hopefully! they always fly over my house at least once a week and i live in the suburbs.

Well, a large amount of heat concentrated in one closet sized area would give them a pretty good idea of what is going on.

I think it's bullshit, still. Invasion of privacy. They should not be able to search my house in ANY way without my consent. I don't grow, but I think it's utter garbage that a police officer can scan my house, without me knowing. I mean, heat is used for a lot of other things, too. X_X

I actually heard from a friend, originally, that someone in my city got busted for having a couple of houses full of weed....but he got caught because of this thermal thing. I didn't believe it at first, though.



So, tell me more about this....will they do anything for 1 closet full of plants? Get a warrent to search your house or something?

hey man a closet will should not be vunerable. no one should even know that you are growing b/c even your best friends will rat on you sooner or later b/c you have money and they dont and they are jealous. Oh yeah "3 can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead." Ben Franklin

Blanket thermal imaging or thermal imaging without other probable cause has been ruled unconstitutional in the United States. Police cannot fly around with thermal imaging cameras looking for grow houses. They also cannot drive around your neighborhood looking for your grow room with thermal imaging cameras.

A small personal grow will likely not be discovered by thermal imaging alone. Police will likely discover or fabricate some other evidence before using the thermal imaging equipment to locate your grow.

Nonetheless I remain fearful of this equipment. Worm's Way stores have thermal imaging blocking material available. It is expensive, but if it provides some peace of mind it is worth it.

Just don't put the walls of your grow room on the outer walls of your house. Leave a few feet of space between your growroom wall and the outer wall of your house. That way, if they try to scan your shit, the air around your room will be the same temp as the rest of the room and there will be no cause for alarm. But like everyone said, thermal scans are illegal without some kind of probable cause in the US.

I'm not entirely sure on how the law works in the states, but I've head of a fair few people in the U.K that were caught by thermal imaging cameras when a police helicopter was following a joy rider or speeder, though of course this is just another lie they could use to give them an excuse to search your house, and so if you are going to grow anything I'd be more worried about people knowing about it on solid ground.

There is a simple solution to thermal imaging resistance. Make sure that you are extracting enough volume of ambient air from outside into the room. This way the only thermal signature picked up is that of the ambient temperature.

i.e. (exactly) reads out as a normal heat sig. they are looking for hot spots only. not whether someones got air conditioning in a room or not got their heating on

hopefully you are a legal grower like most of the MMJ guys and this will evade nasty situations arising!

insulate, insulate, insulate.

Build a cab out of foil faced foam board, keep it a couple of feet from any exterior walls. Leave some space between the top of the cab and the ceiling, and insulate in the attic over the room with the cab.... at lease R-29.

C3 sheet

From the Netherlands, this super reflective mylar also has the interesting characteristic of being 90% thermally insulating. Use the C3 sticky tape to seal around corners and electrical sockets. Beware of copies ! Many shops are selling FAKE C3.
