It gets worse, I have heard reports of gangs using drones with FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) cameras, looking for canna grows!
Thank goodness for the LED light revolution, The lights are much cooler than HID (HPS,MH, CMH) those bulbs are much hotter.
I bought a FLIR camera, because I wanted to see if my grow could be seen like that, thelights (LED) and the way I had insulated my cab, meant it was invisible to others!

diamond series LED's are fairly old now, more recent, more efficient LEDs will show even less!

Here is a article from the Daily Mail on UK gangs using FLIR

Thieves using heat-detecting £60 drones bought from supermarkets to spot cannabis farms - then break in to steal the drugs

• Thieves are modifying the drones by attaching infra-red cameras
• They can monitor the camera images on an iPad
• Cannabis farms give out heat, meaning the cameras can pick them up
• The criminals then rob the drug dens and sell the cannabis themselves

Criminals are piecing together heat-detecting drones using kit they can buy from supermarkets
Criminals are using cheap kit bought from supermarkets to build heat seeking drones they can use to track down cannabis farms to rob.

Tech-savvy thieves are buying drones for as little as £60 from supermarkets such as Tesco and attaching infra-red cameras to them, which they can monitor via an iPad.

By flying the modified drones over houses, they can locate the drug dens, as cannabis farms produce a large amount of heat, due to the huge hydroponic heat and light required to grow the plants.

Burglars are then breaking in to the premises and stealing the crop to sell on the streets.

Any digital camera has the potential to film in infra-red, it's a simple task of replacing basic components, meaning it is becoming both easier and cheaper for criminals to obtain heat-detecting technology.

Yesterday, Labour MP Tom Watson, who is the chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Drones, said: 'This is remarkable and shows the proliferation of drone technology which can be used for both good and bad.

'It is no surprise enterprising criminals would want to get the upper hand in the criminal underworld by using drones.

The drones can be bought from high street stores and supermarkets for less than £60 and then modified by attaching a camera

An example of the heat signature given off by a cannabis farm taken during a police sweep

The large amount of heat given off by equipment needed to grow cannabis makes the drug farms easy to detect with infra-red cameras

Criminals are targeting cannabis farms run by rival gangs. They steal the drugs and then sell them themselves

'As a society we will be dealing with the impact of drones on our laws and regulations for years to come and it is time the Government started listening about privacy concerns about the misuse of drones.'

It emerged the problem is particularly prevalent in areas of West Midlands where the tactic has led to a number of violent robberies as the intruders know victims will not call the police.

Amazing technology turned into Scarey technology..........

We have processionary catter[illars here in the Pines...they make Nests....which are tagged by hand and destroyed....but labour intensive....

Then I saw them using Flame throwing drones to get to the unreachable ones.....and I'm Thinking hhmmmmm...........not in the wrong hands...

Plus....the Local police helicopter...and sometime the police cars are taken out of action for the price of fuel.............but no such worries about fuel consumption with a Drone huh....?

I guess the good thing is the drone operator, has to get to the location and hopefully he can't afford the petrol, either!

Hey bro @Xmas
A quick note and I mean no offence!
When replying to a post,post your reply after the Quote in the square brackets, otherwise it stays hidden/is out of sight!

I will repost you reply so others can see your reply to me and I will reply to that, I hope that makes sense?

Xmas replied to Arty = =

Thank you @arty zan for sharing your wisdom.

It seems like i need to find some friends down south to do some growing.

I like the concept that it has to be in a private place. The ones made that law have my respect.

Arty, you growing any at the moment?

My Reply to Xmas = =
Thank you for for your kind words @Xmas
I like to research cannabis legalities and I will also go off and google them and then bring home the fish, so to speak!
I try to get the latest info available, as time can alter the answers.
I hope you plan to grow outside of Sweden, Swedish drug/cannabis laws are barbaric!
I have had friends who have been busted there, it is not good!

What I do in my private space and what I put in my body are of no concern to other or authorities, as long as no one is getting hurt! That's how I view life and as such I can also like the Spanish law in the situation as it is less intrusive than the UK laws. Having said that If I walk through the main shopping district in my city, I will smell weed being openly smoked!

I have had 6 months with no grow, thanks to my ares of a landlord.
Swings and roundabouts, I shut down wait a while and just get going once the dust has cleared!
I get by as I am a light vaper of weed, now that I have vanquished the tobacco/nicotine!
I vape in the evenings and leave the day time to doing, what needs doing!
Weekends, I may wake and bake if the mood takes me.
I am planning a guerrilla grow and for that I am excited, this will be my first outdoor grow.
I have grown indoors for decades, so haven't need to grow outdoors but I need to grow outdoors now!e
Starting up again indoors well that's is under review, I'll probably start a new indoor grow, when I find a new home!

Actually i was planning to grow in Sweden, even if it’s unlegal - as i love growing weed.
I have planted a Bubba Kush wich i will have on my sunny outdoor-space. But i will give it some thoughts to think if it’s worth it. I rarely smoke, so I’m just doing it for fun and to learn how differrent types of cannabis grows, and it makes other people happy as they smoke it.

If i stay here during this summer, FUCK... now you gave me cold feet’s
I can’t grow a lot of plants as I don’t won’t to stay in prison more, haha. You bastard.
Thank you @arty zan
I have to rethink this part... think better...

I totally agree with you in the part where you say “What I do in my private space and what I put in my body are of no concern to other or authorities, as long as no one is getting hurt!”
That is exactly how i see life and the way i wish it was regulated everywhere.

I also stopped smoke cigarettes, as it’s just a waste of time and an unhealthy hobby, but it was a good trick to fill some blokes pockets.

I will stay off the weed as well, i get too high and an having hard to pull the brake. But will roll up some CBD now and smoke because i still like the smell of weed.

How old are you, and boy are you typing fast, I’m feeling like i am still in the stoneage writing runcraft.
