How do you hide your plants?
    #808096 - 03/16/16 02:30 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Im only finding what happends if you dont hide your plants in the search so im wondering how do you guys never get caught growing or any tips to decieve cops or lessen attention?

I also seen a post of someone asking if cops can see infrared from helicopters.

You can avoid detection by growing with LEDs/air cooled hood. And also by using a carbon filter.  But you must be using a few 1000 watters to put a lot of heat to be noticed.

And yes from what I have read/heard cops can see  your infrared signal.

Cop came to my house for another reason, eventually got on the subject that he could smell my plants and noticed my ventilation equipment. I switched to Ozone and blacked out the window and sealed it so I could exhaust directly out without being noticeable. Had to use an alternate input to avoid suspicion. The cop complained to the office when I wouldn't tell him how many plants I had, they tried to give me a notice to stop or move so I called the apartment management firm and the guy who just signs the authorization was like "hmm, i don't understand, isn't that legal?" and dropped the notice.

Ozone for the win

for me I have one outlet with a 180watt led/infrared light powering then the socket below is a 100w light bulb and flat screen t.v.

then i have my computer in the wall outlet and another outlet the air conditioning and sound system. I use head phones so that's probably 280watts for the computer..

I think if you have under 500watt's in a room then you're straight, as long as the circuit breaker doesn't go on and off and the outlets in a room arent sharing power with other outlets in the house then you're fine
my hall outlet was linked up to the bathroom and the electrician thought it was a grow house for a second, because turning something on and off constantly uses a ton of electricty rather then just leaving it on
smell isn't bad, not bad enough for me to use an ozone generator, most air cleaners are bullshit because you can just put a fan in the window and LED's dont get that hot, but like if it was a room I would have CO2 filters and tubing everywhere leading to the middle of the house to ventilate

I heard from a TV show that I trusted as a legit source at the time, that US helicopters need a warrant to use infrared now(as of sometime in the last 7 or so years), which may change state to state, but I mean they still have it and if I had infrared on my helicopter I would use it all the time. If the cops are using it illegally they would just find another way to bust you and exclude the infrared evidence.

I feel like underground with a completely hidden entrance is the best way to hide, though probably the hardest/most expensive

Cops cant use any technology that is not common to the public. Until everyone uses drones or FLIR on their camera they cannot use the technology (to prosecute).. nothing says the bastards cant use them to spark the investigation then use some bullshit excuse and pretend they never used it.

Yeah most likely they will abuse power and use anything means necessary to cause a lead, then try and find any legal evidence to use in court.

They can notify the electric company or vice versa..

An electrician can come over put a voltometer in your electric socket and know everything you've been doing for the past 24 hours or so

I don't know where you heard that but I have a electrical license cause I did HVAC work and could you please tell me what kind of volt meter can give that kind of information. A volt meter can only read the power being used by the house at that moment. The power company can figure it out if they keep track of the meter on the side of the house by checking it every day otherwise they can only know how much power you've used between times they have checked it.

Just so you guys know most of the grow tents out now have infrared blocking built into them.

Infra Red gets you busted by the exhaust ports, especially in the winter when you have a full heat exhaust coming from a room.

This is actually one of my main concerns when concealing my grows. If the grow space is small, and flow requirements aren't too high, it may be possible to tee into either a dryer vent line or a bathroom exhaust line. That way the plume of heated air spewing from your home is at least coming out of places it that it should be coming out, and if it's dryer vent, then apparent use of the dryer 24/7 would somewhat line up with the slight increase in power consumption from your small grow, since dryers typically use a decent amount of power when running.

For large grows, who knows :shrug:

A lot of people vent into a basement or the attic. If the humidity isn't that bad then you could vent into your house directly.
