I'm freaking out. Can someone help?

They are probably obtaining a search warrant to obtain your electric bill after they seen your heat sig and snooping in your trash can on trash day looking for evidence . They might not be coming today or tomorrow but they will come.
Are you serious or making a joke?

At the time the chopper was flying around last night it was during my dark period. The lights and ballast were not even plugged in ....

There's been a helicopter making repetitive circles and it keeps flying right over our house going in the same big circle for like 5-10 solid minutes. It's pretty low flying too. No spot lights or anything. Just red tail blinker. Its pretty low. In 5 years of living here, I have never noticed this happen before, but it is alarming to me because I just started growing a month ago in my closet.

Was it a bad move for me to buy seeds online and for them to be delivered to my house? Surely they wouldn't catch me that fast....

I know you guys are laughing at me but I'm brand new at this and growing in a state where it's illegal.

Is this chopper surveying me? Would police doing surveillance do circles around the house and fly over the house they are investigating?

I'm having a panic attack
YOU need to stick to buying the stuff, buddy.

Why

50% of the people here are saying "calm down, you are perfectly fine"

And the other 50% say "you need to stop and chop your shit down".

So which half of you are correct and which half of you are pretending to know what you're talking about. I'm not trying to play games here.

If you are freaking over a copter because of a seed order I am correct. What are you going to do if a cop pulls up out in front of your place - throw the plants out the back window?
 
I have read that smart meters are only an issue if they are able to detect a consistent pattern of energy usage (i.e. 12/12 or 18/6). If there is no identifiable pattern of energy usage, what are they going to do? Arrest me for using too much power? Power that I pay for!
There's no law against using x-amount of power. Hell, a big HD tv can burn 400 watts. If I run 24/0, what's a smart meter going to do?

And there's no way they would know to survey my house based on my receiving seeds in the mail. The seeds were mailed discretely and went through customs. If they knew they were seeds, they would have confiscated them site on scene.

Your over reacting dude. Its illegal where I grow, but if my door comes off then it comes off. I'll just suck it up and pay the penalty - whatever that might have to be. Is it fair? No, but that's just how it is. Fair or not, if its illegal you got to accept the consequences of being caught. I'd say growing might not be for you if you are genuinely this paranoid. Chances of being caught are low with a small grow unless your shouting your mouth off.

Do you not turn your light on and off at a specific time ?

After my current grow now which finishes in 3 weeks I plan to only run 3-4 plants max for personal use. I do not sell, I have not told a soul, I control smell with ventilation suitable for a tent twice the size of my tent, no guns around, etc. I feel I should be OK.

I think last night was a bad reaction to smoking bubba kush kief.

I have had four orders confiscated from customs and they showed up at my door.

I haven't had any orders confiscated. It's not illegal to receive mail or even purchase seeds. It's only illegal to germinate.

What did they say to you at your door? What happened?

There's always a first. I can't even get seeds thru now.
