Yes yes, paranoiiiiaaaaa...
 
Unless they already know about you, don't worry.

I was worried cause i went to a grow shop with my car which is registered to my address & also ordered stuff over the net on my card from a hydro shop


My brother in law just told me a house opposite his just got busted as the neighbours complained about the smell saying their house stunk of weed 24/7, i got carbon filter etc so good for odour control, im just para they're already onto me

Only a 250wHPS setup so the electricity is no big deal, just the hydro shop stuff gets me thinkin...

i wouldnt sweat it with 250watts, unless you're in an apt the smell shouldnt be too bad, especially with a carbon scrubber

Dude, seriously, if you're so paranoid and worried about being busted why would you EVER USE YOUR ADDRESS/CREDIT CARD / CAR.

Use some common sense next time, if you're going to be all worried about being busted don't do stupid shit that can get you busted.

How hard would it have been to order a taxi. How hard would it have been to do a Money Order. How hard would it have been to just park the car 10-15 blocks away and walk it.

*Facepalm*
 
i hope you dont live in an apartment type setting because if your this worried now your gunna be shitting your pants for months everytime theres a knock on the door or the cops stop by your neighborhood. it takes a long time to get used to growing in an apartment.

if your do you might want to make a spoof/mute because if you smoke where you grow everytime you light up your going to be worried if anyone could smell it and be that much more paranoid.

good luck, stay safe, stay smart

btw: do NOT let anyone touch your pc, i was recently a juror about a case that the guy had illegal pictures on his comp and needed his pc fixed and the guy doing the pc job found his pictures and now hes in jail.

I did park far away from the shop but they got tall flats near the shops (birds eye view)

I dont feel worried ordering by card as the shop has a system that is as secure as banks systems (so they say) and the police shouldnt be allowed to get acess to adress/card details just cause they are a grow shop... plus i ony spent £70, its not like a huge £1000+ order like they must get... in the future for big orders i will pay extra & do the adressless & cardless way of ordering

If anything i was just generally paranoid cause ive never grown before, it takes a bit of getting used to

I'm starting my 2nd grow in my apartment, first grow was elsewhere. Paranoid myself but for me the reward of homegrown weed is great enough to live with minuscule risk.

This is off subject but do you all know if a 250W light + fan plugged into one wall outlet could possibly be an electrical overload? I'm in an apartment, which is a studio in a big house, so I'm not sure if I'm sharing a breaker with anybody. Do apartments ever share breakers, even if they are just rooms in the same house? I know some TV's use around 300 watts so I'm thinking a 250W wouldn't be an issue even if I was sharing a breaker (not something I want to ask my landlord).. I'm guessing the electrical system in this house is pretty stable and that I should go ahead and plug in. I just don't want to trip a breaker or create any dangerous overload.

A 250 and a 100 cfm fart fan will draw less electric than your towers power supply and monitor ... unless you have a really old computer and a really small monitor.
