evening fellas hows all this fine evening...

been out digging the back garden all day, half way there now, and going all the way for a great lawn, have it dug and sprongged to at least 8 inchs with all the sods removed so far stones aswell obviously, great way to spend the day, and the father told the kids he`d give them a fiver for a jar of worms for his allotment so great gas with three screaming kids every time one popped up hahahahaha...

morning all, weathers savage here today with the sun splitting rocks its so bright....

we had the gardai chopper here all day yesterday, going in grid over the whole town maybe three or four times, talk about put the shit up you.... i`m not that worried about them spotting mine as i had the shed door open so temp was virtually nothing...

going to give them a slight flush tonight and again tomorrow and start filling the res again soon after, i say soon as just after a flush i like to let them "dry out" for a few days, thats about all i have to report...

oh, theres a half decent link to iron man 3.... sounds a bit low but vid is fine.

Weather not too bad here either,looks a bit dull but is warm.
How many watts are you using for your lights?
I thought the choppers wouldn't pick up anything unless there was something like 5-6 HID's running?

can tell if what was once cold has now got heat escapeing from here and there, so the rear wall might show up warmer that previous looks about, its mass concrete so it will soak up some heat as the light is on it, i`m not too worried about it but it was mentioning as the cunts put shivers down my spine when there in forensic scan like they were yesterday,

Thankfully don't see them down my way,I'm quite rural so perhaps that helps.
I did a grow before when I lived in a big town and the fuckers used to fly over a couple of times a week,used to put me on edge all the time.
They also raided a house a few doors down one morning and that was nerve wrecking as well,there was a bunch of young guys living in the house and I guess with all the cars pulling up for 2 minutes and speeding away again at all hours was gonna get them busted sooner or later.

thats it, i only went and put the blink on myself.....

just had the plane over the house for the last ten minutes and flying as if mine was the only house they were intrested in.. talk about on edge hahahahaha...

confident the sheds not glowing on there screens tho, only a 600w in there with some cfls, temps should be fine considering theres a chimney fitted and a 24 hour ossilating fan in there...

Haha it does feel like they are watching the one house but I'd imagine there looking for houses converted into grow factories,they definitely have a thermal footprint.

Ive been up in the helicopter with the heat seeking camera, honest--power companys use the cameras to detect '' hot joints '' in electric power lines and pylons etc, and the amount of heat you see coming from almost every normal house means that unless you have arounf 2000W of lights in your attic your house will look no different from any other house, don't worry

It seams to be a lot of trouble just for a couple of plants... Im sure they have bigger fish to fry...

Anyway guys take a look at this... The label says it "big bud" but im not sure from which company..! She still has a little while to go but I noticed extra growth coming out of the cola... weird...!

yeah thats one for the books alright...

as for flir in general i wouldn`t worry but the way this guy was flying the grid where we live was completely new and too close for comfort...


that said not much to report other than the stretch has at least slowed down..

Hey Bilbo,
I had read before that things like water heaters create as much heat as a HID so therefore a light wouldn't be noticed.
Are the power companies obliged by law to report houses that look "hot"?
