Can you get caught growing in a tent?

Sorry for this idiotic question?
I have a big tent I just purchased, and there are choppers that come out every now and then and try to catch crop growers via infra-red. I am wondering if my tent will block ALL of this, I have bought infra-red sheating and just thick layers of stuff to stick over the tent just for extra securities.

Thanks for your help.

Infra-red detects heat doesn't it? If you're putting off heat, infra-red will read a heat signature.

Run your lights during the daytime as simple as that with a 18:6 schedule even easier when switched to 12:12.

Also, it really depends on what you have heat wise and the building it is in. If you have a hot spot on a 34x36 garage, no biggy, could be anything.. a wood stove, gas heater, etc. BUT, if you have a 10x10 shed and the thing is glowing like the bat signal, that will set off a red flag.

Mylar, and stuff blocks the rays slightly Shall I put it on at 6am to till 12 at night at 18:6 scheduled?

Your timing is all in personal preference. 6am to 12pm is exactly what I do in Veg. In flower, 6am to 6pm. You can do whatever hours you want but these are the ones I pick due to my schedule. I'm up at 6 and I'm asleep at 12. So they should be too

Choppers come out around 2-4am so them times are great for me

I wouldn't worry about ghetto birds anyway unless you're running massive wattage.

6:00 A.M-12:00 A.M will be better considering that the eye in the sky will be flying mostly from 12:00-4:00 A.M just have good exhaust leaving the tent and going out through a chimney or attic to cover suspicion of heat. The material that tents are made out is highly thermal resistant and should trap most heat within the tent but it's always better to be safer than sorry state police should be no problem considering if you are a MMJ patient or live in the new "legal" states.

I agree with Krondizzel on this one, If your not running more than 2- 1000watt lights, dont worry about a heat signature, worry about friends and family, thats what I do!!!

Safety first. That's for sure. Don't risk your family.

I thought it was determined in court that they couldnt jus fly around looking for heat sig? thought it was an article about boston, but i could be wrong.

i love the tents tho. easy to tear down and pack away if needed, everything is self contained for the most part. very nice for the average small indoor gardener.

I'll be running a 600watt

It's called pretextual.


600w, don't even worry about that. My 6000w setup doesn't even set off a heat sig.

aah i C.

I was sure it had something to do with it equated to a search without a warrant and with out probable cause? it was a lil while ago when i read the article. idk, im in a legal state and following my "rules"
id move outside and fill the place if i had my way tho.

I don't follow any rules. I'm also smarter than the average bear so... this helps also. I also know the fox can be outsmarted, so I don't get too cocky about it.

You will never see the part about them using IR in the court case or the warrant
They will make up the rest of the shit for that

And they will make it up too. Keep it on the low. 600w? I think you'll be fine.

^^ right, there is always that to consider also i guess. I know not all cops are pricks, but i am fairly positive the majority of them have questionable morals and character.
