I’m wondering if anyone uses VPNs, or if they freely browse a website like this when you’re growing in the UK?

Pretty sure I got raided because of my research on growing when I lived over there, maybe I’m just being paranoid

I use a VPN. I have it for other reasons, but have it on all the time anyway.

If you are concerned about online privacy give the Brave Browser a try. It is compatible with Google Chrome, but doesn't have Google's spyware. It has privacy features built in and allows you to browse in Private Mode and includes TOR.

In reality I wouldn't sweat it. As said the Police don't have the resources to track online activity and trace it back to a person, it would cost a fortune, you'd have to be into some serious shit. I imagine they caught you the old fashioned way of being told about your grow and getting some real world evidence.

A few years ago I got into a petty argument with a local dick. His parting words to me were "If I were you I'd worry about the contents of your loft." I had no prior dealings with this person and I had told no one about my grow. To this day I have no idea how he knew. My best guess is that when I ordered my grow tent the courier left it with a neighbour who is friends with this person. The box had Secret Jardin all over it. Needless to say that grow was in the compost bin and the loft had been cleared within two hours of him telling me what he knew. These days if I am ordering weed stuff online I either have it sent to a collection point or I have it delivered to a safe address. The other day an Amazon package was delivered to the same neighbour, I was out, and they opened it "because they thought it was for them".

@Mr. Cheetah like, Rambo said photos can be easily finished. Light deprivation is a big thing in commercial outdoor growing in the US. check out some of doublejj threads.

I do 2 photo runs a year outside now with the aim to be finished at end of September on the 2and as October's get too wet.

How strong is the smell when shes matured? Always wondered how noticable it would be with just a few plants outside.

I’m not so much concerned now days, as I’m living in Canada where it’s legal. But yeah, I know the police aren’t gonna go chasing everyone who browses rollitup but it could be evidence used against them, if it came down to that.

Personally I would use a VPN if I was still over there, even if I did get raided because of people talking to the police and not from my research online.

Thanks for the reply and I’ll for sure check out Brave Browser, your neighbour must be one lonely fellow

if they are in the greenhouse it's not too bad. I live on the top floor, heat rises as does the smell. worst in summer. I had a 7plus ft plant outside last year and the neighbour bellow could sometimes smell it. I live in Amsterdam so it's not such a drama here. We also have a lot of green and trees etc so also helps.

HI FELLOW GROWERS, THIS IS MY FIRST POST, SO THIS MAY BE COMMON KNOWWAGE. Im currently growing sensi seeds research cbd #49 hindu kush cbd x kush. and ive noticed something strange but wonderfull that may be of use to other FEMANIZED seed growers.
I moved my plant to my pot soaking trug to give it a good watering and managed to leave it there for a month, its situated behind a large loganbery bush.

Im not worried, i only have one plant and its for medical reasons. i dont put money into the criminal element thats so prominent when it comes to buying laced, glass coated. pestacide infused, plant food full weed, grown for profit not quality.
i have no contact with anyone who partakes either, so im just sticking to one plant at a time and high in cbd, not that it would make a differance to a judge. stay safe, you could turn your lights on in the loft and walk outside and see if you hav light leekage, its a possability

Lovely looking outdoor grow, fair play. Hope it works out for you. Do love to see a outdoor UK grow, yrs ago before I started growing I didn't think it was possible to grow in the UK with our weather, but now no you can grow pretty much any strain in a UK summer.

You just need to take care of them and if you can build them a little polly umbrella to keep the rain off them when there flowering so much the better.

Yeah not to worried if they hermie they free seeds I’ll pick some seeds out lol, I’ve got hundreds of female autoflower seeds from a hermie grow, if anyone wants any I can send them, they are mephisto genetics and I think almost all have germinated and look good so far. It’s a risk lol. Yeah if love to put a polly tunnel up but too baits for where it is.
