Lots of bull shit

Toxic Gases: In most sophisticated indoor grow operations, noxious gases such as
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are released into the air. The individuals who work
in those houses usually do so without any sort of protective gear and therefore run a
significant risk of becoming severely ill or even contracting respiratory diseases. The
gases can be a hazard not only for the people working or living in the house, but also for
neighbours. (Photo Furnace Alteration) It is common to find the gas furnace and gas
water heater vents disconnected to allow CO2 into the grow areas. In 2001, firemen in
the Peel Region of Ontario responded to a call about a carbon dioxide alarm going off
inside a semi-detached house. It turned out that the attached home next door was
producing large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a result of a marihuana grow
operation.


Chemicals: A numbers of chemicals are used to promote growth, fight diseases, and
control pests and insects. Products such as fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and
fungicides, are often found on marihuana cultivation sites. As with any chemicals, those
items represent a hazard that should not be underestimated. (Photo Chemicals) It is
quite common to find a variety of chemicals in the homes used as grow operations.


How to spot a grow house

• Heavy condensation can be seen on the inside of darkened or blacked out windows.
Condensation may be seen on other windows throughout the residence. As a result
in the winter large icicles can be seen in areas where they don’t normally form. The
icicles at times can be a yellow-brownish colour. (Humidity inside a grow room is
approximately 60% with temperatures ranging between 80 to 95 degrees
Fahrenheit, resulting in heavy condensation on windows.)


• Strong “skunk” smell in the air, often at the same time each day / night that comes
from the direction of the property. The smell of growing marihuana can best be
described as the unique smell of rotting cabbage or skunk like odour mixed with a
sweet vegetative smell. Other smells may include mothballs and propane gas, to name a few.


• Mail slots either taped shut or otherwise sealed from the inside to contain the smell
of growing marihuana within the residence.


• Humming noise or motorized fan-like noises coming from residence. Several of the
electrical components in an indoor grow operation create humming sounds which
sometimes can be heard from the street. Ballasts cycle and regulate voltage surges
at a high rate that creates a humming sound because of the vibrations. Fans can
also be heard as well as trickling water. In particular, “bird cage” fans that draw
fresh air into the grow residence can be very noisy.


• Brownish staining from all around the soffit and that bleeds down along the siding.
This is caused from the venting of the moist and warm air of the grow operation into
the roof area of the homes.


• Scraps of heavy black plastic, reflective white sheets, silver coloured metalic foil, 4"
& 6" dryer hose, cut pieces of garden hose and marihuana leaves either lying around
the property or disposed of in garbage cans, nearby lanes or dumpsters.


• Audio and / or video surveillance mounted on the property, in particular motion light
or alarms on the residence and exterior fences.

it really blows my mind that they waste these kind of resources harrassing people for growing a plant...they are also basically encouraging the average citizen to harrass their neighbors to 'make sure' they aren't growing pot...kafka would not have written it any better...

I love how it tells the landlord to record the license plates of all tenants lol.

What is this nazi fucking germany

 

[A-Loc]

yeah it really is absurd. more than half the shit in that write up is bullshit, it really blows my mind how they can run their fucked up operations based on total and complete bullshit

this is even funnier

• Do not accept cash for rent, insist on cheques whenever possible, do not accept
post-date cheques but rather ensure that you personally pick up the monthly rent
cheque.

 

[TrustNoOne]

just got back from the garden center. had to grab some diazanon and some malathion.
no grow should be without those gems.

 

[JJScorpio]

There was recently an Auction of the Feds nearby and they were selling over 150 fans, hoods and lights. You had to be either a school or licensed greenhouse to bid on them. They went for an average of 24 dollars a set......What a steal........

 

[TrustNoOne]

you should qualify jj.
just tell em you teach at icmag, lol.

In many states here it is illegal for a landlord to knock on your door to collect the rent.
That is a slum lord practice.
In most states landlord has to give you a couple of days notice even if they want to work on the place, unless its an emergency, like a fire or burst pipe.

The people who make up this hyperbole without any actual knowledge of growing is amazing. Of course we should be happy that they are so ill educated.
More of us might get found out. Goes to show that to get caught you either get ratted out (no blabbing) or just bad luck. (plane crashes into grow house)

OH WELL

PEACE DA
