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 friend.. 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 suspicious 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 warrant. 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 burglar 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 periodically.

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 accidentally discovering your garden.

preferably use it when the owners of this drug setup are in the underground chamber, that way you wont have to waste time dragging them through all the red tape
