I'm kind of in the middle of a suburbia and im wondering, should i get any anti-helicopter sheets for my closet grow of 5 plants? or do you think it'd be highly unlikely for me to get caught.

also, i dont live in a major city but i have heard helicopters fly over once or twice, not sure if its for something like heat radar.

Aluminum foil. Over 95% effective at blocking/reflecting IR EM radiation.

Aluminum like all metals is a conductor and will reach the ambient temp and show heat just like if you did not use it.

FLIR does not see thru walls anyway - it only shows difference in temp of the surface scanned.
Unless your grow room is much hotter than the rest of the home or you are pumping lots of heat out of the house you will not be detected - even if they do scan your home.

I would agree, just relax, my bro is a cop in the town where I work and I know for a fact they don't do that shit here, in the mountains east of me they use a helicopter to see rugged sites that can't be reached by land...#1 thing to do is not tell anyone about it.....talking lips sinks ships...

when you say don't talk about it does that mean my grow journal is a bad idea i figured long as i show no details i would be alright on here but as far as here outside of cyber space thats the golden rule never show tell or talk on a phone about your grow

sorry m8 you are wrong you are thinking of condution heat. i.e rockwool insulation will only slow the heat down before it comes through the other side. then their is radiation or AKA infrared heat this will also pass through rockwool, but it will not pass through mylar or tin foil it is reflected back in to the room if you have an air space between the mylar and the wall then conduction can not pass through nothing it needs to contact somthing for the heat to travle through radation or infrared heat is then reflected back in to the grow room, but still neds to be extracted out of the room or it will get to hot now you have the problem of where to extract all that heat?

there are 3 types of heat


1.CONVECTION
2.CONDUCTION
3.RADIATION1.CONVECTION: Occurs with the physical movement of air. There are two types of convectional heat movement. The first is natural, where hot air rises displacing the cold air and moving it down. The second type is forced or mechanical convection which occurs when an object, like a fan, physically moves or forces the air to move.

2.CONDUCTION: Occurs in a solid or liquid when heat from one object is transferred by touch, to another object. An example of this occurs when a pot on a stove will heat up by conductive heat transfer from the coil.

3.RADIATION: Radiant heat transfer involves the transfer of energy through an empty space or void. Any object that is above absolute zero, will emit radiant heat to colder objects around it. The transfer of heat from the Sun is the best example of radiant heat flow. Although there is no matter in space, heat travels from the Sun to the Earth through radiation – or infrared waves. When these waves encounter an object, they can be either reflected or absorbed as heat. Highly reflective surfaces such as aluminum, are effective in stopping up to 97% of radiant heat transfer. With this in mind, it only makes sense to incorporate reflective insulation or radiant barriers, in any insulation system.

And don't forget the other type of heat transfer

Latent heat: Transfer of heat through a physical change in the medium such as water-to-ice or water-to-steam involves significant energy and is exploited in many ways: steam engine, refrigerator etc. (see latent heat of fusion)

haha got that from wiki

yes but we are talking about heat in the grow room that can penetrate to the out side of the house. Heat can only be transferred between objects by radiation, conduction and convection
you are talking about somthing else that has no part to play in insulating your grow room. you are talking about boiling, melting and chemical reactions.

the heat we are talking about is in the form of light or infrared heat that we can not see, but the pigs can see it with FLIR.
infared can be stoped leaving the room with foil by reflecting it back in to the room. i cant see what latent heat as to do with stopping heat excapeing the grow room???
