IR imaging/Thermal imaging choppas!

[bluelink88]

so lets say you got 3 plants, hypothetically, and a 400 watter hps. Your near a small city too. Can law enforcement that flies by just one day image your house and see that your closets an herbal wonderland? All hypothetical questions, you see

 

[bigbull52]

no. it could be your hot water heater, dryer, dishwasher, any of that. imo, I've never understood how they got away with those things. they've been banned around here because they were a waste and never caught shit.

 

[joe blow greenthumb]

They can image whatever they want but acting upon those images are a different story. It's like a police k-9. A cop can not take a police dog around your house checking for smells. If they are able to use those images it probably means they've been watching a while and probably have other evidence.

 

[bigbull52]

Thats exactly why they were banned. Last year a K-9 Dog got loose, and ran up to a house, turns out, there were 300 plants inside the house and he was arrested. Hes now on his way to the supreme court. The evidence was obtained without a legal warrant and he has appealed all the way to the supreme court.

Thank you all for reassuring this paranoid herbsman lol. I figured the only time it means anything is when you become a person of interest. then I think they look for hard evidence IR images, say a basement with a few thousand dollars in lights and a sea of ganja girls. I felt like a 400 wat ( or 250W) hps in a closet with 4 girls wouldnt be a problem. Am I right to assume such?

 

[ArCaned]

Only way your gonna get busted with a 400w grow is one of your idiot friends tells someone and bam, busted.

 

[bluelink88]

that 400W will be sufficient, along with supporting cfls on the side, enough for 4 plants? how about a 250W?

 

[bluelink88]

bump! bump buummppp

 

[ArCaned]

Depends on the size of the cupboard and how big you want the plants to grow

 

[bluelink88]

i, hypocritically, would want to produce 3oz+per plant

 

[Nitro1990]

in the uk they have to have a warrant to search the air space over the house IE use the FLIR cam on the house

 

[Nitro1990]

i hypocritically, would want to produce 3oz+per plant

then you will need more than a 400w light maybe a 600w with cool tube

 

[bluelink88]

so give an estimate on 3 NL plants under 400W with supporting cfls. lets say they have optimal conditions.

 

[Sand4x105]

Paranoid... Spark it up, and keep saying:
They are not after me...
Nobody cares what I do...
Those black helio's are not looking for me...
Everything is all right...
Carry on...

i know for a fact my precinct dept has two helicopters. I am really close to it.

I guess keep your enemies closer lol. But it has forced me to never grow outside.

I'm running a 400 hps in a 2x3 closet with 4 plants. One light, keep it simple. See here.

I get the "heli-fly-by pucker" just like everyone else. After a while you don't think about it. Like ArCanned and countless others have said, it's friends and people that know about your grow that get you busted. Not helicopters.

 

[Nitro1990]

no offence but you dont seem to have the slightest clue on growing let alone giving a plant optimal conditions and worrying about a helicopter they have more important things to do what look at your grow

 

[prosperian]

Yeah, even at 5 weeks into flower, no one is going to give me an acurate yeild amount. Believe me, I asked!

You got to approach this as a research project and then get something to get started. Record your results and make adjustments. There's no quick way to producing buds at a certain amount until you have a couple of grows under your belt. It's all about experience. Anyone tells you different is feeding you bad info or their personal results. How does that help you?

 

[bluelink88]

no offence but you dont seem to have the slightest clue on growing let alone giving a plant optimal conditions and worrying about a helicopter they have more important things to do what look at your grow

cool, thats why my first grow with cfls alone is going extraordinarily well. I know what optimal conditions are. Ive spent many weeks of research before attempting anything. No offence but i think you arent good at 'thinking' what other people think or know. usefull, informative replies to my posts are encourages. Personal opinions of some dude you dont know about over the internet aren't. Educate, dont hate.

In 2001, the United States Supreme Court decided that performing surveillance of private property (ostensibly to detect high emission grow lights used in clandestine cannabis farming) using thermal imaging cameras without a search warrant by law enforcement violates the Fourth Amendment's protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27, 121 S.Ct. 2038, 150 L.Ed.2d 94 (2001).[SUP][4][/SUP]

I don't worry about it.
