HERB.IQ is open source, if you're worried about what's inside you can check it out --> http://herbiq.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets

Lx

yeah thanks, i have checked it out. i wanted to know if there were other users here. it's sensitive data. makes me leary.

I would just use the good old fashion lined paper in a binder with a pen. Easy to keep track of and if needed you can get rid of it fast.

make a chart of symbols that only you know so if the cops find it they would be like WTF. look on January 23, he drew a rain cloud lol.. half sun for the start of flowering & a cow shitting for when you add nutes..


Just kidding lol

Might as well create a hidden volume if you are going to be storing potentially incriminating evidence.

Pay special attention to the section on plausible deniability and remember it can only protect you if you are not accessing the encrypted partition.

Here is a LEO to getting around encryption. This will give you an idea of the pitfalls when using encryption.

thanks to Jack for the tip

There is another one I found. I like herb.iq, but it's still in growth phase. Grow Assistant is very, very complete. It's designed for the Colorado record keeping requirements. Very straight froward and I know to the penny what I spend. The Finance, Rooms, Mother/Clones, etc, Sections are first rate and you never have to remember to save. Worth a look?

No thanks. Costs too much to still have limitations. I like free and no limits.

I love my herb.iq use it daily and then some!

new version has the strain info built right in, so nice.

My grow is totally legal for me, so I don't have the concern, but IMO, if you are worried about what evidence is found on your PC, you are worrying about what happens after youre already well fucked anyhow, lol.

I don't track costs or profits and I dont track my nutes.... but to keep track of which strains are where n how long they been there n how long they got.... its amazing....

(Old ass post but I rolled across it on google while getting a new version of herb.iq for my desktop)
