    Default Heat Signature

    Hi everyone,

    Just had my Budbox 1.2m tent set up for twelve days using a Telos 010 300w LED. Plants had vegd under a Migro 100w LED for eight weeks and bearing in mind they're only in 7" pots they look good and are now appreciating the additional wattage. I am now having a paranoia attack about the increase in heat being given off. The tents in an upstairs bedroom. My loft is insulated and I fixed Flirmask sheeting to the wall to the outside as well as a layer covering the top of the tent; its supposed to be used by the US army to hide soldiers from enemy helicopters. Do you think this would flag up on a Police helicopter infrared camera?
    Cheers and good luck.

I was using 2 x 600 hps,I know what your saying,the para does creep in from time to time when the chopper is out and right over your gaff especially if your stoned,no smell no tell and you will be fine.

    I promise you, not the most sophisticated spy camera that they have, could possibly see through your roof tiles, insulation and ceiling into the bedroom.
    Do not panic. But, put as much care and consideration into not getting caught the "other" ways; The smell or by being grassed up by someone who knows.

    Happy growing mate, looking forward to seeing how you do under the LEDs

    you have a better chance hitting the lottery twice in a row than for the cops to see your 300w grow thru the roof, into a room, inside a tent. Your much larger threat is somebody talking. Loose Lips sinks grows, especially in little hamlets where the cops are the local little kings. Relax, enjoy your experience, and don't tell anyone!

    Thanks to everyone for your re-assurances. All my research and logic tell me that the risk is miniscule but every now and again a "what if" thought occurs to me, then paranoia sets in. I have a 6" exhaust fan with a Rhino Pro filter alongside a 4" intake fan on a Control Freak controller which maintains negative pressure so smell shouldn't be a problem and I have never told a single soul therefore no one can grass me up; so this is my only outlet for advice and help. Thanks again.

    Have you got a diary going? I wouldn’t mind seeing how that Telos performs

    Hi, sorry its taken me so long to respond.

    I haven't kept a diary as the plants were vedgd in a small tent under a Migro 100 LED in 7" pots. So far so good they look healthy and I think are grateful for haveing more space and light. I may keep a diary of my next grow which will all be under the Telos.
    Regards
