Enough protection from FLIR?

So I have a room that is 3x10x(8 foot ceiling?) the inside is lined with plywood and the outside will have drywall. now the gap from the ply wood to the dry wall is 4 inchces (I used 2x4's) if I insulate this with r40 insulation, should this be enough? I will be having a 1000w HPS and a 1000W MH with TONS of air going out and 70degree A/C passive air intake. I plan on having enough air flow to where I can feel the air being sucked up through the bottom gap of the door. The inside will eventually have 2mm mylar. The little closet/room is next to a exterior wall and window.

Here is a over head diagram


The air will be exhausted thru the cieling, thru the attic, thru the roof, into the air.

Any suggestions please...

The infra-red signature of venting grow heat out of your roof is one of the things they look for.To them it's like a white fountain erupting from your house.

What if there are several heat exhausts from the roof, for example, dryers and crap like that. Im thinking of cooling the exhaust somehow, but besides the exhaust heat, will they be able to pick up a heat signature of the room / the 1000w lights thru the walls if the temperature of the room is around a steady 70 degrees (yeah the lamps themselves will be alot hotter). And will the DEA even bother with something this size? I'm looking at about 15-20 plants. is thi s "big" enough operation? no i am not in a marijuana friendly state.

Dude if the local government is wasting money on FLIR on your house then I would be hella fuck’n surprised dude. It cost a lot of money for them to take that helicopter in the air, so if they are going to do it, than it is going to be for someone that will really benefit the systems cause. For instance I have about 6000 watts running right now, and know that the man would have a field day with me…. Point being… I’m not scared so you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Just remember to keep your mouth shut, deal with people you know you can trust, and you will always be able to grow. You keep this shit up your going to drive yourself crazy being paranoid.

Well I've randomly talked to police officers and they go on explaining how they are understaffed, and go on talking about drugs stating that marijuana is so prevalant around here, that they don't even bother getting warants for it because they worry more about meth and shit around here, oh please don't say im stupid for talking to a cop about marijuana, because I did not start the convo, it luckily happened to go into that direction and the information that came out was benificial to me. Well, now that the room framing is done, I need to get lights, fans, etc. Where can I get some good ass exhaust fans? (blower/squirell) is what I am leaning towards. As far as lights, I don't think home depot or lowes will have it....

Thanks for all the help guys.

All right no problem dude, only I don’t understand why you would say all of this if you had talked to the 5oh already? A mystery, but who am I to question! Keep on!
:clap:

well think about it this way if you can hear it or smell it the so can anyone else who goes near it. If you cant then I would say unless your talking around town about how you grow some of the bomb (I have heard some interesting things at summer BBQ's ). I don't tell anyone (in real life) and I am allowed to. think your safe


only reason i went in door's is someone found my plants before i could harvest and they went bye bye so i had no meds.

And another thing FLIR cant see tho your walls. All it can see is the heat up againt the walls/windows. or heat coming out of vents like for your water heater/Dryer. So with that said ill tell you how i do it. first off i turn my shit on at 6am every morning and is off again at 6pm for flowering and 12am for veg. the reason i do it early is because FLIR cant see the heat in the day time because the sun beating on the roof so basically turn them on early dont have it were there on all night cause then your not protected by the sun... hope this helps
