why is your grow located near wires/items that may need to be serviced by a tech? when i worked for cable i can't tell you how many people were shocked and appalled that the tech asked to see their modem when it was the tv that was messed up. there's a lot of quality control requirements so most techs check out everything so there isn't a repeat call which would count against them.
very doubtful that the guy gives even a slight fuck. he sees that stuff all day every day and all he gives a shit about is that you don't tell his boss he sucks. even if he's a shifty sob there are way better marks on his route than some dude with a grow tent and some bongs. odds are good that he assumes you are armed/have security and wouldn't bother anyway. if anything he might hit you up for a sack, but police involvement is reserved for life or death/potentially violent situations.
there are a few techs i remember with sticks up their ass who would use "the smell of drugs" as an excuse to not do the job, and even then, after the ENTIRE dispatch department knew that there were "drugs" there, not a single fuck was given. he gets reassigned and everyone gets on with their lives. time is money and everyone is on a short leash. maybe there would be a note on the account, but mostly because it's funny to note such a thing, and also to make sure that the tech doesn't get assigned that address any more. if it doesn't pose a danger to the tech, no one will pursue anything.
if i were the op i would try to have some of that stuff re-routed if possible to avoid things like this in the future (wires through closets is generally considered bad installation anyway). either that or just make sure everything is moved to a coax-free area if you need to call a tech. i really wouldn't worry a whole lot about what has been seen. cable guys see WAY more crazy stuff than grows and bongs.
