What do we really know about infrared detection?

could work, but if theyre smart enough to look at you with infrared they might be smart enough to look at your electric meter. those suckers spin like a bastard with a few thowies on.

See What Infrared Technology
Can Do For You
An infrared inspection from your home's rooftop to its foundation infrared provides you, by far, the best dollar value for the visual inspection of your residential property. You will actually see any problem areas, as well as the good areas, of your property and have the information readily available to you in a documented report. Infrared gives you the visual information and a thermal perspective of your home that conventional home inspection methods can't give you. Infrared is the emerging state-of the-art technology application you should strongly consider when having your home inspected.

Neighbors are growbusters. No-one wants to live next door to someone's 45k watt factory farm anymore than they want to live next to a coke dealer, gunstore, methlab, etc. People just don't want someone else's shit jumping the fence on them. I see it on the news here weekly. Shit, Elk Grove alone had almost 100 full-op grow houses get neighbor-busted in about 3 years time; most of them run out of Richmond, where the gangster tax pushed 'em out to the exurbs.

~O~

I think the best thing is to get a job and do this as a hobby :- ) and maybe get a medical license and be within guidelines. Obama did say that they shouldn't go after people that are within compliance.

Also, maybe, if you have a basement, do it there ?

Infared is usually used for detecting outdoor grows via hellicopter...
It is uncostitutional (illegal) for the authorities to listen-in, look into, or enter your property without "reasonable cause" and a warrent. They can't just drive through a neighborhood scanning houses...
we still have a few civil rights left (for now)

Hi Webelzer,

Man, I don't want to be a dick about this, but the heat can, and does any fucking thing they want, sadly...

These fucks use anything, and anyone that will roll to make a case against a person growing... They may not be able to present this in court, but while surveiling a place, it helps them identify their suspicions... I don't like it no more than anyone else, but the leo's will do anything

I do not want to make anyone paranoid, but these gadgets are becoming less expensive to obtain, and these fucks are using everything they can..

The biggest source for their info., is someone running their mouth..IMHO

Lay Low, and Grow

All the Best, and Stay Safe

what about venting though the flue all houses have one and all are used all year around might make heat not so ovious ? just a thought

You can kill two birds with one stone if you use C3 anti-detection film for your reflective material.

C3 anti-detection film:

A specialized type of Mylar that exhibits the same properties as the 2mm thick Mylar, but in addition to reflecting approximately 92-97% of the light, it also is 90% infrared proof, making your grow room all but invisible to IR scanning. This can also be attached in the same manner as Foylon or Mylar, and the same caution should be used to avoid creating hotspots in your room.

It is illegal in the U.S. but you can find it online. If you live in a different country it is easier to find and purchase.

Venting through the flu was mentioned, and if that was meant as in a furnace or fireplace flu then they are not used year round in some areas but if tapping into some existing source of a vent in your home is an option you can also vent through a toilet stack pipe. Another option is, if you have a bathroom fan that exits your roof you can also tap into it. In both cases it is not abnormal for warm air or warm gases to exit them so unless you have a constant stream of really hot air pouring out it will not stand out at all in a quick heat scan. A real long look or repeated checks at all sorts of different hours things might still look suspicious but a quick look would not raise eyebrows unless the air was very warm.
