ok so i know about flir but my question is are the police allowed to use flir on your property for instance a shed in your back yard since thats where my grow will be and i want to know if they can use flir on that legally

also i figured im going to have to vent the hot air into the floor outside to try to hide the heat somewhat or is there no point since either way it will show a heat signiture no matter where since its outside ? thanks alot for your time and input

Vent into an attic or somewhere to diffuse the hot air, a box to mix air....

no its in a shed in my backyard so cant vent into attic but how would i make a box to cool the air cus even with an ac u need to vent ac hot air

hey man, its illegal for them to do that without a warrant but the thing is that cops are dicks and theyll do it anyways and then go back and say they smelled pot coming from your house or builiding or say that a neighbor called it in thus giving them cause for a warrant. They are tricky bastards, your best bet for what you are doing is to totally set it up so there is no light that can escape or enter the building and secondly run your lamps during daylight hours, never at night. I grow in my house but set the lights up so that they only run during daylight. When you are in veg you are gonna have to run them during the dark hours so youll have to decide on that yourself. There is some shit that supposedly blocks the FLIR and ill leave the link for you....good luck

yea i have seen this but concerned about venting the hot air out of the shed will be running during the day but they check it in the early morning and early evening to see who they can catch and for veg i will have a seperate chamber for veg using t5s

When cops say they 'smelled pot', that works for on the spot search warrants, looking around, that kinda stuff, but it doesn't cover intrusive searches, such as using FLIR. You still need a warrant for that.

It's been about two years since I reviewed my search and seizure laws, but from what I remember the curtilage outside your home is not consitered covered under your reasonable right to privacy. I.E. if they were to use FLIR on your shed without a warrant, it would be legit. They don't need a search warrant. But most cops don't know that, so I wouldn't really be worrying about heat signitures. Worry about smell and keeping your mouth shut. That is what's going to get you caught.

Unless there is no snow anywhere around your shed ... that would look weird.

I don't know about covering up heat signitures though. Can't help you there.

That is assuming that your shed is not attached to the house ... which I'm guessing is correct.

thx yea it was my understanding after reading the law that they could use flir on my shed without a warrent since it just in the back


yea not attached to house but do live in so cal so im going to just run it during the day and hope they dont get me in the ealry morn or evening plus going to go renew my medical liscene so it will be a legal grow but will prob have more plants than i am supposed to

the only thing i can think of is to vent into the ground and dig it deep with a post digger so hopfully that will disipate the heat srry have really bad spelling

disguise the heat sig as something else or diffuse it as much as possible there are also IR resistant materials such as fabric.
