He’s just messing with you. No tell, no sell, no smell and you’ll be more than fine. I hate it because I know the feeling, but god these are my favorite posts on RIU. Really more specifically the ones who think they have helicopters flying over their 2x2 tent. Those REALLY give me a good laugh.
But seriously dude don’t lose any sleep over it.

First, your browser connection is encrypted (using HTTPS) from your computer to Youtube, so although your ISP can see that you're going to Youtube, they can not see what you're watching.

Second, those with the ability to monitor your activity within the ISP don't have the time nor the care to worry about trying to identify what you're doing. Trust me.

Use a VPN if you're that paranoid.

hey shit someone knows what a vpn is damn grats haven't see that thrown on here in a while lol.

Lol. I’ve been growing since 2009. I live in the U.K.


I got busted in 2012. Why? Because some dumb shit couldn’t keep his mouth closed!!! ( that’s me by the way!)

Since then only me and my wife know what I do.

I stopped growing for 3 months after I got busted. I received a simple caution.

the police tried to get information out of me about who was dealing in the area. But id been self sufficient for 3 years when They came knocking.

words to the wise!

don’t tell anyone you’re growing.

don’t sell from the place you grow in!

keep all smells under control!

don’t tell anyone you’re growing!

And finally DONT TELL ANYONE THAT YOURE GROWING.

I had frequented RIU and grow videos for years up to 2012.

information From the public was on the search warrant.
That does not mean they searched my ISP or anything it means that someone ratted me out. Which was my own fault for not following words to the wise above

When you say that you we’re telling people was that to like one or two people? Or were you going full on diarrhea of the mouth

And not to mention that was 2012, I feel like the attitude towards it gets more lax every year.

 

[Gond00s]

the most dangerous person to you is yourself remember that while growing.

 

[Dreaming1]

Yeah, I'm just messing with you. Idk what I'm talking about. You aren't going to be anyone's radar blip. No one cares about you in the government or police system. Unless, you take their money, or don't pay them.

Thanks for the responses, paranoia is no fun at all,,,,,,Do you think that its a resource thing?, like they see you shopping and viewing videos but they just dont care enough to do anything,,,,,,what really flags them? big grows? posting all kinds of shit? bragging?

 

[Dreaming1]

Someone telling them

 

[DCcan]

what really flags them? big grows? posting all kinds of shit? bragging?

Just the regular stupids, like posting on facebook that stupid cops can't catch you, surfing armed insurrection groups, watching bad porn, ripping off folks.
They would get fired if they turned in kids for pot, drag races, drinking etc...they have a real job to do.

I had one guy who knew because he helped me to redesign and build my room as I’m an computer geek and not very construction orientated and my room needed an H beam to support where my closet door was.

unfortunately he had a big mouth.

not a problem any more with the same guy though as he passed away due to bowel cancer in 2014.

They find it hard enough catching folk growing 100’s of plants.

So don’t go thinking they’re going to try and find you with a few of them.

You’re not worth the effort to justify being raided lol. Just grow for yourself and you’ll have nothing to worry about. And keep your mouth shut!

Here’s a plausible thought I’ve wondered. I live in a trailer area, and I know I’ve increased my powers bill from 200 to literally 500 in the summer with no real explanation other than killer watts running. I don’t think the power usage is normal for the average of the area, and that has worried me at times.

Also, small town USA doesn’t really have much crack heroin etc. it’s out there I guess. But not common. Small town cops have not a lot to do, why not dig deep into someone they had a hunch on to get a big news story? Makes ya wonder sometimes.

Most small town cops just want to rest all day.

I looked up "paranoid stoner with an illegal grow" in the dictionary and it was a link to this thread. jk
LEO has better things to do with their time than mess with a hobby grower. Unless you're finding other ways to draw police attention to yourself, you'll be fine. So, no more drunken midnight fights with dragons on the lawn.

Stop trippin

No one would really care about a stoner and a few plants... just keep it low key and ur gucci..

 

[grapenut2457]

Most likely this summer will be the safest time to grow outdoors in the US in recent history.... authorities have much more to worry about. ....something about citizens dropping like flies due to a pandemic thingy.....wash your hands kids.

 

[grapenut2457]

Up here in the frozen north the legal thing is 4 plants per household...with certain grow restrictions. I seriously doubt the local cops would even be bothered with anyone growing anything 10x that amount. It would be a hassle at this point in time....

 

[herbs1]

Hi all

I have a few plants indoors that I only know about that I just started

I have only orderd soil and pots from amazon, nothing else

I love to watch youtube grow videos all day long

Last night I got worried that my ISP will see those videos and report me possibley to LEO and they could search my house, this made me incredibly anxious to the effect of just wanting to stop the grow altogether

Am I being too paraniod about this? Can watching youtube grow videos flag you for a search? I value your oppinions

thank you
Doobie

Someone might have mentioned this already but just get a vpn that keeps no logs and problem solved.
