I think if you're really worried you can get a prepaid credit card or use a money order and have everything sent to a friends house instead of the house you're actually growing at. That way if the cops show up at a friends house they can search and he'll have nothing.
Lol, yes, much more better my friends or family have their house turned upside down by the police. None of my friends have ANYTHING illegal at all in their cars or house. That plan will go off like a Swiss watch.
Not busting on you kid, I know that is what everyone here says, I just don't agree. It's my problem. If I'm doing something that will bring the cops then I deserve it, not my grandmother.
So anyways, to answer the question. Lights are still legal in this country. So are nutes. Potting soil is legal too. PH meters are legal as well. Until I hear about people being arrested/searched/questioned/put on a list because of buying some Fox Farms soil, I don't think people shouldn't be unnecessarily freaked out. Has this ever happened? Is it documented somewhere? Even one person?
