I am wondering if anyone has gone to speak to a lawyer before starting your grow operation? I am just wondering because I am in North Carolina and this state has asset forfeiture for drug convictions. If you did go to a lawyer, how did you find one that you can trust? Thanks for the help.

justugh, I am not sure on the differences between a digital meter and a smart meter, but I do know they are two different things. As far as cutting off your power, I think it is just a smart meter that does that. I think the "new" digital meters just get rid of the old dials and add some kind of...

I am thinking about building a decent size grow operation in my metal workshop that is on its own energy account separate from the house. I am just wondering about digital power meters. Is the power company able to monitor my usage in real time or is it just the same as the old meter with some...

I have a metal building insulated in spray foam. I am building a grow room in that garage that will be insulated. I recently found that they do heat signature fly by's in my county. I am going to be running 2x1000 watt light with AC, and other stuff. How do I hide the heat signature from getting...

To grow in summers and winters in north carolina, am I going to have to have some kind of heat pump to keep the area within a certain temperature range?

I am looking to get in to growing, but I want to do it wisely. I want to speak to an attorney before I get started to know what I can do to protect myself from the law. Also, if I were to get caught, how I could minimize my losses. If you are in north carolina and know someone then please let me...

It wouldn't be that much. Maybe $50 a month depending on energy prices.

Have you thought about a ventless heat pump?

Good luck. I hope to be starting my first grow soon enough.

Why not just install a small ventless air-conditioner? They are less than $1,000. I built a 16x10 in my garage. Insulated it and installed a unit myself for $800. I can grow on the hottest day and coldest day and still have the same temperatures. The ventless units are very efficient also.

Why not just mail $9,999 down there at a time? As long as it is less than $10,000 then the government can't do anything.

Going to get my HVAC certification in about a month. I will let you know then.

That is amazing. I am about to start building a room in my 25' wide by 50' long garage. Not sure how big yet or how many lights, but I already have a dedicated breaker cabinet for it right by where I am going to put the room. Would like to build as big of a room as possible but since this is my...

So, I know nothing about growing indoors but my brother says this is the place to learn. I have a detached garage that is 25'w x 50' l so I have plenty of room to work with. It does not have central air or heat. I would probably build little rooms or set up a tent. I have tons of questions but I...

I am new to growing and interested in growing outdoors. What books do you recommend I read for some education on growing? Also, I need to buy some seeds. Where do you recommend I buy my seeds and also what precautions do you recommend that I take buying them? Thanks for the advice.
