New Grower Security

[Bud Wiser UK]

Oh, I didn't mean to be flippant. Security is always a serious issue.
I thought you guys had it sorted over there now? ... the whole of the West Coast from Mexico to Canada ...?
Colorado, Massewhatsits, Nevada? ... shit, from where I'm sitting, life looks good over the pond.

We're still in The Dark Ages over here dude ... they didn't film Game of Thrones here for nothing you know!

This part, I must politely disagree with. I have worked in the electronics and communications field for a long time. They do not just target individual people, and the computers used to sniff through all that data are well up to the task. It is possible that I am small potatoes, even likely, but that does not matter to a computer sniffing for purchase patterns or careless communication bits. The best one can hope for if they ignore security is to be lucky. TOR works, and so does signal. It's not that hard to be careful.

Ok, good luck to you then dude. I'm sure you'll stay safe, given your attention to detail.
Purchase patterns? really? ... is it that bad? wow.

You are right. Everything is on servers. Every ones online life mothballed. Why not have an international day of gov. deletion of all our stolen activity. So many bloody outfits.
Peeping Toms. I need me a cuppa of tea.

The room I grow in faces our street. I put up Walmart cheapie blackout curtains over my all levolors/windows. They don't completely blackout but are certainly good enough. I used masking tape to hold to wall and help darken the curtains that are closest to the tent and that would easily show the bright lights in any slit. To control odor, I dry my yields in an old 2x2 tent with inline fan and filter. That tent is in a stand up shower that is no longer used. My odor is minimal which is what I desired.

I don't worry about the electric bill because I only grow for medicine, plus the electric company is in business to MAKE money, so not worried. Security problems are low here. This can all change of course when "Orange Slice" Trump staggers into the oval office.

There is a recent episode of weed etiquette that highlights people still getting busted. People that should not get busted. The cops just take whatever they want during the process. If I recall correctly, they took sex toys, nude photo of wife, took money from Grandparents given to their children for birthdays and threw the wife's underwear on a ceiling fan and the such. Real honest too goodness pricks that over step big time and it may get much worse.

This just happend to me and my girlfriend we live in Maine I am a medical patent and she is a caregive that could legally grow for five patents. They came to my house house w the state medical marijuana inspector checked my grow and med when inspecting our meds he came to the conclision that we had over the amount of processed meds witch was curing and not fully trimmed. Under Maine state law it say you can have eight pounds of unprocessed we had ten but could have 1.1 of processed and sumin like 56 pounds of unprocessed. We been going to court for half a year now my first offer was eight years and five for my girlfriend that's never been in trouble in her life we just recently went and they offered us no jail time drop all the charges except for a culitivation charge w a 1500,$ fine for what doing what we legally could not to mention they way they disrespected my house grow room and equipment they broke a bunch of my things expensive duct fan and cut coards to several things including my co2 device they cut all my plants took all my hoods and made a huge fucken mess all threw my house we where not over on plant count or anything like that. It just really really dosnt seem fair

It's not fair. It's a damn plant, we're not criminals. I'm sorry that happened to you, seriously. How did they get onto you to begin with? was it neighbors? lights in the windows? what was it that got the attention in the first place?

Actually quite the opposite Bud...there is many, many unscrupulous peoples that will not hesitate to rob you blind if you are not careful. Here in Cannada there is a 6 plant, 6 month mandatory minimum in place Currently. So get caught with more than 6 plants and off to a privatised superjail for 6 months. And oh yeah rec legalisation is right around the corner right? Minimum 1.5-2 years before that happens...LOL I cant say anything about the states, but its not unicorns and rainbows over here in the great white north.

OK let me give u all a little super super super helpful advice this is super important when And if the cops or marijuana inspector come to your house even if you legal and have zero to worried about like I thought dont let them in do not you do not have to be rude just tell them you'd rather wait for them to get a search warrent and or your laywer to be there w you. I didn't think we where doing anything wrong or illegal so I let them in. They told me they had reports of smell witch was a lie my piece of shits girl friends mother had gone to the Marijuana inspector and made up a bunch of lies just to fuck us over for no reason. So if I had been smart and Just told them to get a warrent they would have just left and 99% wouldn't have been able to get a warrant and we have never gone threw any of this b. S in the first place I really really hope this info will help save someone that gets put in this shitty situation and helps them not get fucked over by law enforcement that don't know the laws and look at marijuana as illegal it really sickens me that all these cops d a s and judges don't know shit about the law and look at it as an illegal drug still when its not in most states I hope this is helpful cuz I wouldnt wish what happens to me on my worst enemy it really sucks losing all your hard work all your meds equipment and pretty much the reason you wake up and enjoy living one last time make the cops or Marijuana inspector get a search warrant before letting them into your house

In my state we are allowed 12 in flower and 12 in veg but no more than 2.5oz of useable mj. With my recent 9.25oz per plant haul and still holding a little pile worth that makes me waaaay over the limit. Now I have friends who pull 20-24lbs a harvest legally with photo period plants. I guess you just have to sell it faster
