Also interested. I tried a few free ones, but they didn't like this site, and I gave up. I wasn't tripping too much because I am not up to anything illegal, but still would like to know what the simplest, easiest, safest, and (last and least) cheapest priviacy/security technology is.How much protection does a proxy service give? I have one but I'm still nervous visiting this site and posting... Which I would like to do more freely...The service is foxyproxy... Is that a good one?
I agree with this one. I live in a small rural area, a mate of mine was doing some plumbing for a woman that lives 4 miles from me I have never meet or spoken to her ,yet she was able to tell my mate all sorts of things about me. small towns = gossip its important to to look as if you are there for a reason, have a cover!If you don't have a job, figure out a way not to sit at home all day reading ICMag and tending the garden. This pisses off your neighbors who work hard all day just to get pennies, while you replace your old Bentley every two months and never seem to leave. Or tell all of them that you work out of the house. There are various jobs that apply to this. Still don't stay holed up at home all day.
I think it's been mentioned and it may sound classist. Don't hang out with low class, redneck or ghetto people if you grow. Those kind of people cultivate trouble for themselves and it may rub off on you.
I know of a few busts lately. Turns out one was partners with a drunken red neck idiot who got drunk ,started a fight, cops followed him home and he had forgotten to turn on the ozone to cover up that days harvest. Cops smelled it 20 feet from the front door. Associating with morons got him busted.
Another grower I know of also got busted, he also hung out with serious white trash rednecks , one who was a meth dealer and the other a coke dealer. They got busted and then he got busted. Association with morons.
A well known grower who was a great contributor to this site had a meth head/ trailer trash family member stay over. Cousin got arrested and ratted them out.
Do not associate with people who have avoidable problems like drunks, meth heads , burn outs and trailer trash type people. Even if you don't grow, these kind of people leave a wake and will impact your life with their stupidity.
You read people post these stories and you think, really, your junkie cousin robbed you and you are surprised?
False 911 calls: real or whatever; have been the downfall of many growers. 911 call: police come in ...no warrant needed. ( they figure...HEY!...you called us )
Lots of peeps have 911 speed dial...big mistake if growing.... hit the wrong button= house full of cops

bottomline: you have to stay below the radar
I had a dozen Big Bud / NL growing. No problem until I went to flowering stage. About a week into flowering, one evening I get a loud, long knock on the front door at 8 PM. Nobody ever knocks at that hour where I live. I knew that none of my friends had dropped by. And the neighbors never knock. Now granted I did not peek through the blinds, because I didn't want to be spotted. However, I had a sixth sense, if you like. I just knew it was LEO.
zeeba over here spreading fear about being flagged for a 400 watt light? Really? Maybe you should tell more of the story because thousands of people on this site and others order seeds to their door, and run high amounts of lighting. Blackhawks flying over your house days after your seed order? Are you living in a movie man?
