This is how they grow it in Tennessee. This grow was underneath a house in a cave. The entrance was through a secret hydraulic door in the garage that led to a concrete ramp that went about 50 yards into the ground. Inside the cave was living quarters and a secret escape hatch that led you through a tunnel that exited via another hydraulic door that opened up a rock on the outside. It was very elaborate. The set up allowed them to harvest every 60 days which resulted in multimillion dollar sales. One of the guys busted was living in a house on the water in Florida and had a nice yacht. One of the agents in Nashville worked on this for 5 years before the warrant was finally served in December

just my 2 cents but they are sure some spindly lookin plants for all that wattage, vegging them 5 feet under shoplites isnt helping, seems like they coulda used some sodiums too, imho they probably got busted because they
werent too smart, but i dig the hydraulic door and cave

Pretty cool. It looks like a lot of work and money just went right down the drain...

They had to be pretty smart to put all that together. That was an awesome setup! That escape under the rock kinda reminds me of "Hogan's Heroes" LoL....where is Captain Clink....

If they could get away with it we all know they would try it...

That was an amazing feat, how exactly did they get detected in the first place?

Nah, they got busted for several reasons, it told all about it in the article I read, but that was a while ago so I just remember bits and pieces.

1. Stealing huge amounts of power from the grid.
2. The fact that they built a house on top of a well known small cave in that area
3. nobody ever seemed to live at that residence.


I also remember reading that none of the people in the operation were even from Tennessee, wo WHY the fuck did they pick TN? It's not a particularly good state for cultivation laws.

I was gonna say. This is a really old story. Kool though.

They prolly found the cave and thought omg dude this would rock. Lets build a house here and call this our own. Nobody will know!!! Or so they thought...

Yeah it did happen a good bit ago... but it was a very elaborate setup. graythumb hit was exactly right stealing power was the one thing that lead to arrests, also with them hiring Mexicans and driving them to the house and using them to take care of the plants.

ah, dont speak of such things(missile silos) they did blind fold the mexicans from the drive they picked them up yet to the house till they got inside...they didn't know where they were except they were talking care of plants... and it was huge man, they had 50 lazy boy reclineres and huge movie screen, they had barracks, kitchen everything plus all that good weed, too bad the rich guy behind it was a dum ass and stole power... which led to the arrest.. in the town they were in he was running like half the watts if not more.

I remember seeing that when it happend. That is real slick grow op. Too bad the growers got too greedy and got caught slipping. That's some serious bat cave shit right there.

im in awe over the hydraulic door. . . that thing is BEAUTIFUL..

if only they had thought ahead regarding the power situation and contract work, cant imagine the "blind fold" being tooooo suspicious!



good read



lots of Love and Light
