No offense taken man. I've just never done this before and I do feel pretty freaking secure. Paid for all my stuff with cash even though it was nothing out of the ordinary. Was just kinda a reality check when I heard that on the radio. Kinda like someone was trying to tell me something, lol.
I feel the only way I could get caught if they see a spike in power usage but I know that my grow would be pretty hard to detect that way. At least I think so.
Just thought I'd put this story out there and get everyone's thoughts. I have to admit I was a bit freaked out about it.
Thanks for calming me down.
maybe they aquired the nose of a hounddog and xray vision. i tell ya they must have superpowers LOL

Yeah, genetically altered cops! I knew there was a conspiracy somewhere in all of this.

I hope the Po Po doesn't sneak around here, because he may offend my 70 Lbs bulldog - she's very territorial. lol

People they suspect of doing something but don't want to alert them to the fact that they are on to them. The law was originally passed to be used against suspected terrorists not drug dealers/growers. Pigs figured it out and started using it against anyone they wanted to.
Meanwhile, in the real world (aka the rest of the country), I'm too nervous to put up more than 2 lights

Maybe they're just tuning into a dark AM channel and cruisin the streetz for all the new digi ballasts out there.
I was able to pinpoint my buddy's new house in oc after he got me to the general neighborhood.
Suffice it to say he's back to mag ballasts.

The whole EC thing seems silly to me to, Unless they are using a TON of power. A normal space heater is usually 1,000 watts. Air conditioners use a lot of juice too, so do computers , big screen TVs, Stoves etc,etc. I don't see how they can tell the diff of a normal Timed appliances being turned on VS lights & ballasts. Seems almost impossible for me to believe that they can detect a smaller, more energy efficient grower this way.

Brown, good call. Many ballasts on the market will cause interference. Even cable interference. If you are not in the country, make sure you have a good quality ballast(s).

Anybody ever see those trucks they have at the borders, they can drive by you and x-ray your vehicle, just think if they could do that to houses.
Also internet monitoring could be done very easily, I remember reading a story here long ago where a member said a local cop told him they knew what proxy he uses.
Anybody remember "operation green merchant"? That's was back in either the late 80's or early 90's where they(LEO) busted into peoples houses just for buying lights with credit cards from grow shops, and many turned out to be orchid growers...scary but could happen again...
