I cannot emphasis enough, TELL KNOW ONE! Even a clue of what you are doing to the wrong person, and the gig is up. So if the are not part of the business cycle they should know nothing about it. My lawyer told me something "Its usually your "friends" not your enemies that get you busted".

If you can get away with not haveing a scale near the grow, its way better to not have it there.

Don't have firearms anywhere near your grow.

Don't have any kind of scanner, or two way radio near your grow.

In your vehicle, don't leave anything grow related.
This dude doesn't know wtf.

Growers get caught because snitches rat 'em out, but mainly - 90% of cultivation arrests - because they grow outdoors.

That's how growers get popped. i used to work as a file clerk in a warrants office.

In four years I never saw an arrest warrant for anybody who got caught growing because they were selling. (Part of it is because back then, the 1990's, the police were swamped with crack crime and did not really give a shit about small time retailers - this I know for a fact. Not true today - not so much crack but now they suffer personnel and funding cutbacks.)

How did they manage to get a warrant to search your house just because someone says you're growing weed? Seems like they would need more evidence for probable cause.

No warrant just a cop car out front for a day to lie and say their was "trafficking" going on, there was not. Then they came in thru a unlocked back door when I was home hangin out. After they entered they "smelled pot" and that was probable cause.(bullshit) I got 10 plants confiscated and all my equipment broken all my dried product was entered as evidence.

I ended up getting slapped with a felony possession and intent to manufacture/distribute. I live in a non legal, mega republican, heavily policed state. The pigs lied their ass off by saying I invited/allowed them in and thats a fucking lie! And who do you think the prosecutor is going to believe me or them? The answer is them. No jail time but because of the lack of paper work, warrant, and also the fact when I was at the station I denied it all on camera is why I got possession charges instead of growing and dealing.

Also I already had been caught 3-4 times in the last 15 years with small amounts by the local PD. I guess thats a bad thing when I am born and raised in the same small town. I'm sure thats why they felt they didnt need a warrant as I already was known as the "dangerous" pot smoker who...... smokes pot and keeps to himself.

USA is not always land of the free and it is definitely not always fair inside the legal system. Good thing is besides my twice a month check in with probation I got off pretty easy.

Sorry to hear! Glad to hear there was no jail time though. Did you try a lawyer? May have been able to get off completely since they didn't have a warrant.

Always lock your doors! I keep a padlock on my gate, all back doors and front door dead bolted. I even lock the garage door when the garage is shut. They would never be able to say they were "invited" in if they have to smash the door down.

Yeah I had a lawyer. I was looking at 4 class D felonies but the punishment I posted above was after the lawyer. Only thing that stuck was the possession. 60 grams or so in a nice little mason jar was the only part of the paper work they did correct. Lawyer got it dropped to one count of felony possesion. If I do my probation without ONE fuck up at the end of probation my felony will drop to a class A misdemeanor. I got about 5 months to go.
 
Ok so I have been in the biz for years without a hitch, well one possession, you have to stick with the rules. Complacency is what gets you every time. Everyone that has ever been busted can think back and say, "Fuck! Why did I do that?"

regardless of your lock, the police have a device to download your contact list, gps history, text message history, email and more.... not debating constitutionality here, just informing that your post is wrong. It's a simple device that many cops have in their cruiser.
You must be dealing with some well funded cops. And that's not always the case, sometimes even the FBI has trouble with these new fangled gadgets:

I live in a quiet hillbilly town where nobody really bothers anyone else...
So it is easy to stick to yourself...
and because we are behind the times our police don't have and can't afford all these new fangled gadgets. We did have a county commissioner get caught and charged with a lot of plants recently...he had hundreds of plants outdoors on his own property and once they saw those the searched the inside...and that is when they found the real deal...the big grow op...LOL...
Even though I know that there is no reason for anyone to suspect me of anything I still feel paranoid sometimes that somehow all this will go terribly wrong...but I feel like i am taking less of a risk in the way of getting nabbed then I was before having to deal with whatever kid in a hoodie I could find every 2 weeks...that is surely riskier than, quietly growing my own supply without disturbing anyone, taking it anywhere, or giving it to anyone else...I just don't see why I would ever be fingered...I don't think I am what they are looking for...and I have started going to local nurseries now as opposed to my hydro store...Got tired of those guys acting like they have never seen a girl before...it makes them the opposite of helpful.
Anyway, the only thing I worry about is all my internet history trails...like my accounts used to purchase my equipment...I know what i need to do...start ordering a few legal plants that are commonly grown indoors with intense lighting...some strange thing that is not common, although not unheard of...that way I look like a junior botanist, and not a hobby weed grower...lol.

I got busted with weed in my car because my dope is so DANK. lol
The cop said he could smell the weed walking up and I wasn't even smoking.
It was in my trunk...
Got it knocked down to a paraphernalia charge tho. Oh yeah!
They always say "I can smell it" Its just a scare tactic
