Hello all,

Been lurking and reading here for a while now and finally joined and decided to introduce myself.


Ive been away from growing for 10 years now and decided it was time to start back up again.

10 years ago I got a call at work from 1 of my 2 roomates "dude, you need to come home now!!! our place just got raided"

Got home and found out that we had state Game Wardens that wanted to search the house. My quick thinking rommate said "yeah, but only the basement and bottom floor, not the bedrooms"

Wardens said if he complied, they wouldnt go upstairs (where my 2 room op was) so he consented.

The wardens found some empty buckets and other related gardening stuff and informed the local PD the next day. I got a break and had 12 hours to clean house before the boys in blue showed up.

My 2nd rommate was arrested and charged w/ poaching deer (jackass!)
Our house was under surveillance for the next 4 months, and I mean VERY obvious surveillance. Hell I even brought coffee out to them a couple times

Long story short after 10 years I think that things have cooled off enough to start up again

Right now im going small w/ a 150 watt HPS for flowering and CFL's for cloning/veg.

thanks in advance fro all the great info and help Ive aleady gotten here.

Well first off, welcome back! From this one post it sounds as though your not a complete newbie and we ALWAYS need good advice . Also, from reading your story, it sounds like you pretty much got screwed because your rommie was a moron and wanted to rape the land. I've never heard of game wardens raiding a house, but with the way your story fell, it seems very likely. Everyone should know, roomates are the arch-enemy of grows! Anyways, welcome back and hope to see your journal soon!
