Nice setup looks sweet..running NFT from the looks.


Detectives call this multi-million dollar "indoor-hydroponics" pot operation the largest such bust in Alabama history.

Police say the warehouse which contained the operation has been a front for the growing operation for three years.

The suspects were using advanced lighting, irrigation and climate-control technology.

Police seized other drugs, as well as 100 thousand dollars in cash along with between four and five hundred plants.

Investigators say the operation was raking in at least a million dollars a year.

Was it an operation in the back of a wharehouse.. or was the wharehosue strictly for growing and no other business was conducted there?

Are you joking or you really heard that can't tell your tone by reading your post?

If so I am also interested because I have not heard anything.
 
I wonder where the hell all that reefer was going? Most my buddies that dont grow seem to think there is a draught back in the SE right now. LOL maybe this bust was why?

Damn!! Yeah there has been a SERIOUS drought in the South East as of lately I'm talking BAD! But every year around this time it's always usually kinda bad, but it's never been THIS dry! People selling good almost-seedless mids for 320$ a zip...Now thats BAD!!!! I've had to dip into my huge roach jar(knew it would come in handy someday hehe :rasta: !) because I refused buying the mids at nugget price...

that's a rough state to get busted in. hope whoever got caught finds a good lawyer and gets huge reductions. i gotta say, it doesn't quite look like a $1mm/yr op, but thats just from what I see in the video. I could be completely off. It looked like a lot of those 400-500 plants were clones/ small vegging plants too.

yahmaha1: hadn't heard of it being a member, but glad you're keeping quiet who it is til we know for sure the charges and everything, just so talking about it doesn't add info to an investigation.

I was PMed by someone who said on the news they mentioned ICMag. I have tried to look for any support of that and have not

This makes me more Paranoid... even more noid that what I am.... Lesson to be learned... Dont talk about your big grows... it just attracts attention to yourselves.. Im sure leo lurks here and just looks for anything to give away location or proximity to location.. Scares the shit out of me.. enough to not post anymore pics of my grows...

Dont let em hold us down.. Lets just be smarter than they are... Fucking Donut eating pigs..

can anyone confirm if the two men were members here? I find that really doubtful; it sounds mostly like a paranoid rumor getting started. heres a more detailed article about it: http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2008/10/sheriff_deputies_uncover_recor.html

there op was pretty big and in a warehouse dedicated soley to growing pot which was rented under the guise of storage for a "store" the two men owned. they could have been busted for a multitude of reasons especially with a grow that large. that weed made it into many hands so who knows if any of their confidantes got busted recently and gave out a location/name/whatever. but who knows I guess.

lastly I would really hope anyone with an op that big would stay off of message boards regardless. whats the point?

"They found what they called a hydrophonics system...." (quote from the article)
