Garden Security


Every year law enforcement agencies all over the country spend thousands if not millions of dollars of tax-payers money on finding and shutting down marijuana growing operations. So how can a grower avoid having their plants destroyed and their freedom taken away? Read the list below for some helpful tips.


Indoor Security

* Keep your garden a secret. This is the hardest rule for any grower to follow. You might think it's no big deal to show your best friend your three 6 foot marijuana trees. But your friend might tell his friend who might tell his freind... The majority of police "busts" are made because someone tipped off the cops. Make sure anybody that knows about the grow operation has just as much to lose as you do.

* Keep a low profile. It looks a little suspiciuos if your neighbors see you hauling ten 50 pound bags of potting soil into your home in January. Unload anything that might seem suspicious from your car under the cover of darkness. Remember to turn off the light in your car that comes on after you open the door.

* If the cops do get called don't let them in. Ask to see a search warrent. If they can't show you one then there is nothing that says you have to open that door. No matter what they say don't open the door. If you do all one of them has to say is "I smell marijuana" and they will search your entire house.

* If you go on vacation don't turn on the burgler alarm. If someone breaks into your home to steal the plants and the alarm goes off the cops will come and your going to jail. If they really need the plants that bad then let them take them. It's better than going to jail.

* Check for light leaks around all windows. It looks a little odd when 1000 watts of orange light is shining through the window of your grow room at 3 AM. A heavy curtain can be hung and duct taped to the wall around the edges. Check for light leaks periodicly.

* Always pay in cash whenever buying anything for your garden. Credit card purchases are logged at the store. These logs tell what you purchased and when it was purchased. Companies sell these logs to anybody that can afford it. The police buy these logs and look for any suspicious purchases like 1000W HPS ballasts and other uncommon items.

* Do not have hot, smelly exhaust air from your grow room pouring outside directly. Police IR helicopters can see the heat pouring out like a fountain. The helicopters CAN NOT see through your walls and detect your grow lights. They can only see heat on the outside of a building. So if your growroom is insulated and the lights are not touching the walls you are fine.

* Keep the door of the grow room locked. This will prevent anybody from accidently discovering your garden.

Outdoor Security

* Don't plant in rows. Try to be as random as nature. Rows and patterns are easily spotted from the air.

* Be careful not to leave trails. Step on rocks and sticks and never walk through mud or soft ground. Be careful not to disturb the vegatation too much.

* Visit your garden at night or early morning. Try to limit the use of flashlights at night.

* Don't park your car along the main road.

* Don't take anybody to see the plants unless it is to help harvest them.

* Plant near small pine trees or evergreens. These will stay green all year and help hide the plants when the other weeds are turing brown and the marijuana is still green.

* Don't leave any garden equipment in sight. Bury it or hide it well.

* Use a backpack to transport harvested buds.

* Bring some binoculars and a book on birds or butterflies or something. This way if someone sees you, you can claim you were bird watching and stumbled across somebody's marijuana feild.

What ever you do although it may seem like a good idea at the time, DO NOT take fronts*. Fronts from dealers are bad eyour escally if your crop fails or something else goes wrong. Just don't take them if they are offered to you!



*Fronts are when the dealer or whoever offers to pay you cash in advance for your crops later.

wem511

yeah. i dont wanna be owing anyone money, specially a dealer.

VERY good advice! Great post, thanks a lot, I have been wanting to start a plant or two just so I don't have to run the risk of buying and getting caught that way, but I don't really know anything about it, and this was very helpful. I need to find out what kind of supplies I need to get started, I have some seeds I have saved, but I don't know what all else I will need. Any ideas there? Any help would be totally awesome!

Looks like its too risky to grow a marijuana... Hiding it from cops.. huh .. thats no so tough, But reading all these is soo tough.

Sometimes, there will be more problem if someone you know who lives near you lodges police report about the plant. Maybe you should buy a new land in remote area and plant there

What do you mean when you say a quick answer to a cop can save your butt? Do you have a method for not getting in trouble?

If I'm thinking correctly, it could mean instead of stuttering and changing your story, as well as speaking clearly as possible, the cop might not want to frisk you or take you in.

JUST HAVE COMMON SENSE BECAUSE I GET PISSED WHEN I'M WATCHING COPS AND THEY BUST A GROW HOUSE IT PISSES ME OFF.THEY RIP THEM OUT SO VICOIUS I HAVE TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL.LOL"

Berserker16

I know! It's such a waste, and it must SUCK for the guy who's growing it. I just wish it was legalized!

This is some good advice for those who don't want to end up in jail. Me personally I'd never grow but I admire those who do.

hi, im completly new to growing ganja, i got seeds and made my own grow box. im growing them in the bottom of my walk in wardrobe, in a large framed box i built myself.basically i need some information on auto-flowering seeds, like how long do i veg them for? and how long do i flower them b4 i harvest them. any advice would be much apreciated as im starting growing in 3 days.

It mostly depends on the strain to know how long it'll take to grow but a common rule is once its 2 feet you can start flowering. What kind of light are you using? When you feel your plant is ready to flower you need to put it in to 12/12 light period, meaning 12 hours of light 12 hours of darkness and your plant will know to start flowering. A common tip to know when to harvest is when atleast 50% -75% of the hairs have turn color. Oh and where ever your plants are I hope not many people go around there because it really does get stinky!

Think for yourself. Question authority.

outkastonexy

you hav to plan for them and if you get away sweet

billcass

you kinda answered your own question "auto" flowering. that means theyre gunna automatically switch from the veg stage to the flower stage for you, you dont have to change the light cycle.
