Security Issues for Novice Growers

[M_C]

Great thread. Thanks for all the advice. Picked up a few pointers.

One I would add is, similar to when playing defence in soccer, "If in doubt, get it out". I had a tent set up for my first grow and hadn't yet plucked up the courage to pop the seeds. I came home from work one day and my friendly neighbor told me "Two police were at your door this afternoon". I thanked him and shrugged my shoulders but my mind went nuts haha. I immediately took the whole kit to the dump. Nothing ever came of it. They might have been making door-to-door enquiries about something. I waited a year before trying again just to feel sure they weren't gonna come back. It smarts a little that I kissed goodbye to all that brand-new equipment but you can never be too cautious imo.

Like you, I'd rather dump a couple of hundred quids worth of equipment than buy a new front door & have the associated problems.... it's a no brainer!

The thing im worried about is buying all my gear (grow tent etc) online to my house and the police knowing ingrow that way. What does everybody else do have it delivered somewhere else?

Police couldnt give a fook about personal grows,they ain't got the money,they want the houses with the Vietnamese immigrants do it,(they usually get people traffickers at same time)
Crop robbers are the ones to look out for
No smell
No tell
No sell

had to laugh the other day i downloaded a leaflet police give to landlords.... the disinformation in it was insane... they were using the usual tactic FEAR.. and basically made out if some one sets up a grow (any grow so could even be 2 plants) then the whole house would become infested in mold and collapse within 6 months and be useless to live in ever again.. they even said when you go to check round every 3 months (3 months!! wtf) make sure you go in the attic to.. telling the landlords to be bad snoops and fearing them if they don't...
i can tell you for a fact the room i use has less damp due to airation than any other room in the house.

After 9 years of growing, my house should have fell down years ago
