stop bitchin, if your worried about gettin taugh then just dont do it like wtf is this shit?Hey everyone. I'm new here and I've been getting interested in growing. I don't smoke marijuana at all, but all my friends and my uncle do, and they're ALWAYS asking if I know anyone who has any pot, so I figured, hey...Why not grow and be able to say "Yep...I do!" right? Right.
This is my main concern, though...Getting busted. Not by a family member or a friend, but by the DEA or the cops or what have you. I won't lie to you...I wouldn't last a day in prison. I'm not worried that I'd be stupid enough to make it OBVIOUS that I was growing Marijuana (by letting everyone know about it, etc), but I was wondering if there is anything I should know about that cops use to bust people.
I'm aware that stealing electricity or something would be a choice leading you to get busted, and I wouldn't do that anyways, but is there anything else? I keep seeing pictures on the 'net of grow rooms that got busted and I can't help but wonder...How did they get busted? What did they do wrong? Was it just that they got caught selling and their house was raided? Or was it something else?
I guess my friend is Canada made me paranoid the most...He said the RCMP will raid your house if your electricity bill jumps up a lot for no apparent reason, suspecting you of growing Marijuana. I highly doubt that would happen, but I need some reassurance...Afterall, it's not to be taken lightly...Getting busted would suck.
I was thinking about growing about 8 plants...How many lights would I need? Two HPS and 2 Fluorescents, I'd wager? And if so, does anyone know how much that would bump my bill up? I'm not worried about money, I'm just worried about...Like I said...Someone at the electric company getting suspicious. I'm sure it's all automated and they don't manually check it, but I'd just like someone to tell me "You're being paranoid. Are you sure you don't smoke pot?"
Anywhoos, just thought this would be a nice little discussion. I'm really looking forward to growing...It seems like it'll be really fun.

1. dont tell ANYONE you grow, when you sell just tell ppl your flipping bags
2. Get a carbon filter and inline fan to get rid of the odor $200 -do it right!
3. For 8 plants i would get a 600hps $200
4. Get greenhouse fems, cheap and all girls $60
you will yield 300g of the best weed anyone you know has after 13 weeks and it will cost you just $500

Dude, I live in Arizona and here you can't have ANY on you or it's a felony
for cultivating yes, but just plain old possesion is a misdemeanor for the first two offenses 2 ounces or less.

Now, I think 200 plants are a bit much. Even for outside. I know you had to scatter them. Now does that increase your chances of getting busted or increase the amount of harvest? or BOTH? lol And if you didn't get busted, how the f*ck do you do all this by yourself? I thought of gorilla growing when the weather changes but I am hoping to stumble upon a couple places first.

indoors the power wont get you raided alone, the only time power comes in to play is when there are big grows running thousands of watts, for your 8 plants or so i would suggest you get a 600 hps, odor control is another thing you will need to pay close attention to in order to stay covert, sadly enough snitches are your biggest risk so dont tell a soul

Hey. keep your grow to yourself. I am peaking at the moment because I had to tell my three flatmates about my grow yesterday. Until then it has been kept real quiet.
If you are trying to keep things on the low try a stealth set up, you don't even need a big set up. Check out my current grow journal for some cheap, effective discreet growing ideas.
