im located in the u.s. and have been convicted of two class b felonies for selling drugs. they happened at the same time, I was set up basically. Question is i was sentenced to 1 year house arrest and 4 years of probation which i have completed. if i were to get in trouble again could the time that was suspended from the first conviction be added on or since i did what the judge ordered, i am free from that suspended time?

I think for the most part that any screw ups you make during your probation period can certainly be reinstated.
If punishment is served out and there are not problems I believe it is a new charge, but knowing the government, they can dig up the old stuff and throw it back into the mix as well.
Hopefully you had an attorney during this process, give him a call just to answer your question.
However, with the way I understand it, and by all means take no offense to this, but once a felon always a felon. Any body that is convicted of a felony gives up certain civil liberties, if I am not mistaken I dont think you can ever legally own a firearm.

Dont get caught. Dont tell anybody and dont even hint at the fact that you are growing. Buy all your supply with cash and DONT TELL ANYONE!
It could very well fall under the 'Three Strikes' law. So just be carefull
