the "coppa" just saw your post! they are outside your house...ur going to pound me in the ass prison....

for reals? I'm not sure where you live...but cops must have crazy money....to fly all around looking for the heat of 3 600w blubs

they must bust loads of heads on thanksgiving ....zing!


also if you going to worry about that how about the power use cycles,smell,fires,electric shocks,long term use of cannabis....ect

don't play that game...you wont win

u dont have to worryu about choppers.. u have to worry about the hand held flir.. and ya.. u need like 1000 dollars for a good one.. so cops dont need a budget anymore.. they buy the handheld.. and drive around to suspected houses and look for the heat coming out.. but be careful.. dont give thema reason to even look at u .

you can always put a foil cap up youre loft. it help. apparently now its not the coppa choppers. its like some pointed out the hand held thermal. electric company choppers are the ones to worrie about. recently in the uk they have been used in this role...but in co od with the police(but part of a op).. so don't give them reason. also i have lived very close to were 2 of these coppa choppa are based and grow all the time. with no problems. but was summer and the sun reflection of the roof tiles messes up any thermal.... best defence in my opinion. is.... be clever with the electric.. always pay bills on time. dont give them reason. foil cap in loft for piece of mind. tell no one. keep out of trouble in general. i.e even arguing with the misses had got my friend caught. also i grow house get busted the other day. because the back window had been smashed slightly. they didnt mend it asap. they left it. then i good citizen lol phoned the police worried about there might have been a break in. there both on remand at this minute. also it cost some seroius monet to keep them up in the air. so its rare that there flying on the of chance thermals on looking for hps lights ect as there are so many things that could explain the heat source. SO THEY NEED SOMETHING ElsE for a judge TO ISSUE A WARRANT. not just based ona curois heat source. but the hand held thermals are a different matter. aslo they do drive up and down knon hot spots i.e estates know for growing. so common sense again can save you and good planing.

if you live in the states it's illegal for choppers to use thermal cams to (for lack of better words) spy on you house..
not to say they don't do it, but even if they do see hotspots of heat from your house they can't do anything about it

i like the winter growing "space heater" idea lol

as long as your grow is away from outside walls,you will be fine,the cops pickup the heat signature on surfaces.your outer wall is the primary surface that heat will come off of,just make sure it is well barriered and or that u keep your room away from outside walls of yur house.

That's part of why you can use a frig it may be legal here but some cops can still have a hard on for it, if you vent where the compressor is it looks normal. I have a friend who works for a company that sells them you would be amazed what you can see with that
