Maybe we should all talk about cultivating tomatoes instead while spending thousands of dollars on grow equipment such as fitting a room out with ventilation, lights, hydro, CO2, etc.

Something along the lines of:

"Growing tomatoes under 600W HPS. Currently i'm on 18/6 light for my tomatoes and dont know when to switch to 12/12 for the budding i mean fruiting phase of the grow cycle. Heres some pictures can you please advise if i'm ready to flower and grow buds i mean fruit?"

or

"I just spent $10,000 on my new grow op, it has 18KW worth of lamps. The tomato plants I am growing are Romas. Was just wondering which brand of nutrients to use?"

or

"Hey guys I'm growing about 50 tomato plants under 15 1000W high pressure sodium grow lamps, i was wondering how i can hide the hot exhaust gases from the helicopters as they may raid me and find my erm...tomato plants and mistake them for that evil devils weed which none of us grow."

(tongue in cheek of course hahahaha).

Haha That's kinda how u have talk in some hydro shops or when randoms r around (at the hydro shop)
Hahaha i went into my one recently and asked about advanced nutrients (not sold in this country) and the guy raved on about how good they are and that they test them on the real thing. I was like oh yeah so i assume you mean they test them on real plants? he said yeah exactly hahahahaa. Was just us in the shop however.

From time to time, I will pick a picture at random that someone posts and strip the XIFF data, and if it has personal ID info in it, I'll tell that person. Really freaks them out!!!
The narcotics departments PAY these guys to do this. You'd be surprised how much info can be gleaned here. Hydroponics shops are even more dangerous! All a cop has to do is sit there and record tag numbers. It has happened to the point of some shops bringing suit against the cops for targeting their customers!!! They don't need probable cause to take down your tag number, find out who you are, then put you under the microscope. Probable cause can then be created by any number of scenarios.





It would take a court order to get posts and info from RIU, and I doubt they'd go that far. But any ISP has all the pertinent info on what URLs are visited by an individual, and they will cooperate with LEO. Just use common sense, don't use a GPS capable camera or phone to take and post pics.
Just don't think that they aren't after the small fish. Small fish are bait for the trophy fish.
How so? You are posting it in a very public place. I can view all your posts right now with no court order.
