Thanks @Bill.de.Cat for the kind words, my paranoia really gets the better of me at times.

Think most problems happen from not being careful, and doing dumb stuff that draws attention.

A case where less is more when growing in ShadowLand.
The fewer people that know what ya do, the better!
Just like with a security clearance, ya have to have the "Need to Know".

I use the journal instead of blog. Confusing for me as well
I haven't used blogs yet and really haven't looked at many. I find it easy to just start my own journal in whatever section is fitting.
I think it's good for a new grower or when you're trying something new. It's easier to get help I think.
I agree.
Thanks all for your help, I have just put up a grow journal so feel free to take a look please and advise if it’s over the top or not correct what I’m doing.
many thanks
many thanks

@TangieD - If you're in an "unenlightened" state I highly recommend investing in a good VPN. No need to broadcast to your ISP what sites you are looking at. This one included. Be careful what you order online, especially from Amazon etc. They love to collect data and tag you as a grower easiily. Same with using your "real" email address. One promotional email to a gmail account from a cannabis website and everything will come up pot leaves moving forward.
Be quiet about what you're up to. Tell no one. That's what the forum is for! Being able to talk about your new hobby without having to involve anyone in real life that doesn't need to know.
I also highly recommend purchasing prepaid Visa gift cards from Target or wherever to buy cannabis related items online. Buy the cards with cash. Keep a layer of anonymity between yourself and anything you do. I've found the Target Visa cards work at more online sites than others I've tried.
See if there is a local hydroponics shop near you. Some are quite good and paying cash there can keep you off the radar for a lot of things.
A bt of paranoia goes a long ways towards keeping yourself safe and concealed.
Short version:
1) Get a VPN
2) Pay cash at a local hydro store for things
3) Pay cash for prepaid gift cards to buy things online
4) Setup a new email account just for canna related anything
5) Want to talk about your new hobby? Don't! Unless it's here.
EDIT: PS a $40 burner smartphone is quite useful. No need to carry around incriminating pics, posts, links, etc.. on your real phone. Just pull that SIM card and only use wifi over VPN. Should keep you covered! I'm 71 and I can just about handle it.
Tinfoil hat on and happy growing!
