No one will be using the window, it has drapes and blinds and is in the adjacent kitchen. The door also has a window with blinds and drapes over it and it is the door to my backyard but it is rarely used, and no one could really see in the way I have things set up. I haven't begun the grow yet, and I want to make sure that this project is secure. The only loose ends thus far have been a little mail order action. I have told no one and will tell no one and I felt like heat escape and odor concerns were the last security issues facing me.

Inside of the grow tent will be an exhaust fan that pulls stale air from the space into a carbon filter and then I have the ducting going from the filter to the dryer vent where it will be expelled. I was curious as to whether this would create an image on a thermo-image. Also, I was concerned about heat signatures escaping through other crevices that might exist.

Are grows busted with thermal imaging because the grower has a large operation or is the heat signature unique to any size of cannabis grow operation ? I have read that the US Supreme court has ruled that thermal imaging without a warrant is unconstitutional. What evidence would be needed before a warrant is obtained to do a thermal imaging ?

I appreciate your input. I want to do this correctly and a HUGE part of doing it right means staying free and undetected.
