Hey Guys,
Just need some advice, think i'm getting paranoid. Have been growing for over 2 years with 1 veg tent under CFL and then a slighly larger tent were i have the 600 HPS, i'm usually flowering 3-4 plants at a time.
Can police detect heat from the grow tent? as I type this I know how ridiculous it sounds. but i'm constantly on edge i'm going to get caught. I don't sell and I just smoke with my GF and one other friend. the only thing is i live in a house with 4 others. no one has ever said anything, but they know I smoke. There no odour in the house, I have a carbon filter set up. anyone got any stories of how people get caught, and what penalties they get?
ha ha its gets to you .just be super carefull and dont get lazy and let your guard down , dont ever throw even a single leaf in the garbage , cut everything up finely and flush that shit gradually down your toilet , but dont be stupid and block your drains , the finer you cut that stuff up the better .
dnt tell anyone and dont answer your door to unexpected visitors , if the police know your growing and have a legal right to be in your house ( a warrant) they wont knock on the door ( well they will but usually with a battering ram).
as far as FLIR detecting your 600 , its my understanding that they are looking for heat being pumped outside in a small concentrated area ie. a pipe , if you vent your heat back into your house , and the house allready has its own heating on , then its gonna be very hard to detect ( as a grow ) , the way i used to look at it is , ive got a halogen heater in my room and one in another room that have 3 ,400w bulbs in each of them , ive got a gas fire on and storage heaters in everyroom .i really wouldnt worry about a single 600 with 4 plants ,dont get gready and stay under 9 plants in the uk and you will only get a caution for a first time offense , if the worst ever does happen .
friend of mine was busted just last week , he told a few people he thought were friends , and right at harvest time ,4 blokes turn up at his house , and try kicking his front door off its hinges at 3 am , neighbors hear the banging , call the police , then go outside and tell the guys shes called the police lol ( why would you do that ? ) so obviously the guys get away scott free , cops turn up at his house , and find about 10oz hanging inside the tent , they take all his stuff all his equipment ,nutrients , everything and give him a caution , but the cops also rang his landlord (council housing) and now hes served an eviction notice .all because of thieving little cunts and his loud mouth .
If i was you , id be more worried about who you talk to ,than the cops , the cops will ruin your day for sure , but thieves could end up hurting you badly , my friend said the guys who came to rob him all had weapons .
