Yea I hear ya brother.... friend of mine was growing in a fucking bedsit, ground floor....big window looking out onto a busy city center street.... The smell was unreal....could spot that HPS glow a mile away.....did a full grow there (badly) I don't know how he got away with it....I kept a mile away from him at all times after I saw his so called grow....won't have anyone drag me down....I love my life as is! I've since taught him to get his shit together so we could resume our friendship.
I hope your mate stays safe.... It seems 'they're' not actively looking to bust all us small timers.....but 'they' won't ignore the obvious.
More an acquaintance of a friend - that is the first thing that had the danger will Robinson going on, seen the guy once at a friends house then out of the blue you want to come check out his grow - I mean well yea, but who is this guy? Oh he is harmless a bit tapped, his dad has the big C etc etc anyway want to check it out 'yea sure'
Once I saw it I was like ummm can we go now. I know I do tend to be on the more paranoid side of the scale but have always thought a little healthy paranoia is a good thing.
Has you mate grown again?
The best / worst one I have ever seen was in Oz Land, - an amazing sight - you have never seen so many hoods in your life -
Personally I like my tiny ass 60X60 - safe secure, and no fekin way anyone I don't know would be visiting.
