    Default Grow house security advice

    I'm a novice grower, but I do know a thing or too about how to secure a house, and more specifically grow houses. I've done work with a contact on his grow house and wanted to help you protect your grow. First, lets start with the obvious, doors. When choosing a door, choose a solid wood or steel door. Before installing it, drive 3 inch screws into the frame to hold it down. A lot of burglars destroy the frame rather than work through the door. Next fortify the hinges by choosing strong hinges and putting at least five wood screws into the hinges, if need be drill holes, and choose screws with wide heads, or add a washer. Finally, put a high quality lock on the door. The best bang for your buck is ASSA locks, they cannot be bumped or picked easily as their are complex and rather rare. Installing them upside down makes them extremly to pick. Next, windows. Make sure they are well installed. Another good idea is to have windows made from a tough material such as polycarbonate, it also reduces heating costs. Side doors and back doors should be extra secure and be bolted shut and fortified, although lock quality doesn't matter. For patio doors make sure they don't break easily and block it with a 2*4 at all times. Before we address the inside of the house, here are things to further secure the outside. Floodlights near the garage and all doors (except the front). Keep the front trimmed make sure their are no bushes or treesthat obscure your view of the street (not all, but try to limit them), short grass also helps as it helps blend in with neighbors. A security company sign is also a good idea next your front door.The back should be fenced in, with a privacy fence that cannot easily be climbed. The gate should be difficult to open from the outside (this is up to you on how you do it.). Finally, you should disable garage doors when you are not going to use them. It's relatively easy to get in though their, just unhook the door from the belt and attach it to the ground and park outside if possible. That was a general overview of outside security now onto the inside. I cannot state this enough, no booby traps. They are illegal and if poorly executed, they will kill you. Hiding your grow room is vital. Saferooms are ideal as they often hidden and underground,if not try to keep your grow room in the basement or away from the street and neighbors. Make sure that no light leaks out and that it locks, but doesn't appear out of place. Put down sealing tape around the door to stop leakage. Insulate the walls and cieling from the inside and put down fat max or a similar insulate mat around the room to make sure heat light and sound don't escape. The police can use thermal imaging and if this is not well done, they will detect a massive-heat signature. When exhausting this air, get it far away from your home, preferably underground. To reduce pests get a cat to kill rodents, as they often carry mites and other plant harming insects, preferably an outdoor cat. As for dogs, that's up to you.
    Most of all meet and greet neighbors, be nice and participate in their suburb bs. Most importantly join or found a neighborhood watch type of organization. It will help integrate you and will protect ur grow house from thieves. This is just a quick overview and if you need details or more info just post and I will try to answer your question

    #1. Don't tell a single person. If you have to, rather you than me.
    #2. Don't get complacent.
    #3. See #1.

    Two most popular ways of getting caught - loose lips, betrayal and getting complacent. Ok that is three ways, but we'll call that buy 2 get 1 free.

    We'd all love to brag and tell the world around us how awesome our own grown weed is, but if you can't resist that urge the timer starts ticking and it won't belong before you have an arsehole like a boy scout.

    Vast majority of those who get caught bring it on themselves, either through betrayal, or just good old fashioned not fucking thinking.

    The grow I secured was also in a good neighborhood, but he was worried someone might follow him home. What I described is really for commercial residential grows, he's using at least 2000 watts of hps lights. I didn't really ask about his grow, the closest I got was in the door, putting a bolt and extra locks behind the fake wall.

    If you need security then your a muppet for setting up there in the first place. A good safe grow is in distinctly average area in a normal house with normal people. befriend the neighbours, act normal and they will be your security. Make sure you make friends with the nosiest bastard on the street he will be your best asset, pop in with a few beers now and then to get the low down. You never bring buyers to you grow house.....ever.
