How safe is it really to grow?

Ive heard all kinds of horror stories about electric companies tipping off the police abd neighbors reporting lights at night or flir. I just want to know how safe is growing?

100% legal in Michigan since 2008!!!!!

1. don't tell anyone

2. don't show it to anyone

3. make sure its well hidden and smell is as least detectable as possible

4. lighting/watering.. remember people may see you walk in to water or notice lights turning on off

5. don't tell anyone


overall.. be stealthy like a ninja!

Power companies wont notice unless u turn entire bedrooms or basements to grow rooms with an insane demand for electricity...

No sell, no smell, no tell = NO CELL

as long as u pay your bill they dont give a fuck unless u running 5000watts of lights
u cant get a search warrant cause u use alot of power
so many things beside grows use alot of power

It's as safe as you make it, holmes.

don't tell anyone....most important

Your life will be in constant danger...its like being a secret agent, except the stakes are higher than national security.

Just playing...just be smart.

if u turn off computer when not used and other things like lights and change all your household lights to cfls u will lower your usage

damn dude he is already paranoid then u got to scare him worse next he will be asking how to delete account lmao

this is such not a true statement.. although it may be legal in michigan on the state level, its completely illegal to grow in any state in the us on a federal level, and just recently the feds have been going out and reminding people of this fact..

i really love the no sell, no tell, no cell line.. that's pretty much the golden rule's.. don't sell out of your grow house, don't go around telling anyone, and pay your utility bills on time.. i also don't think its a wise idea to grow in a rented place where there is a good chance that a landlord / mantainence worker may stop by without warning.. i've heard of a couple of people getting busted this way..

august 11, 2010 the drug task force busted down my front door and 30 cops tore my house apart. I had 5 plants in veg and 5 plants in flower.
they seized my 1995 impala ss because there was a bag of potting soil in the trunk. so far, it has cost me $30,000.
I am on 2 years probation with monthly drug test.
just be prepared....murphys law...if it can happen it WILL happen........

how did they find out ? thats what is most important part of your story

first, I NEVER sold any of what I grew...I didn't even share very often.
my daughters nosy boyfriend popped the lock on my grow room and then he told someone who told someone. then a guy named brian gregory, a person I had never met and had never even been on my property cold called the cops and told them he knew where a grow was. the cop then stole my garbage on garbage pickup day, they found some trimmings, seeds and an indoor cultivation mag.

Racerboy, thanks for saying that. Federal laws trump state laws any day.
So pretty much Cannabis is illegal no matter what until enough states legalize and tell the federal government to fuck off we're not helping you prosecute people for smoking a plant.

Im playing quiet mouse with my grow, my best friend is the only person who knows I'm growing and that's just because we're both helping eachother in our grows, nothin like some friendly competition to beef up your buds

Growing isn't safe, and isn't for the feint of hear.
But then again everyone on here is paranoid about their grows, especially the people growing mass quantities..
The DEA isn't gonna bust you down for growing a few plants, neither is your local cops, because they aren't gonna know.

As for that Brian guy, Karma is Definately a bitch and it will bite him in the ass extra hard.

EXACTLY!!!If you are growing on a small scale using 1000 watts or less you really have nothing to worry about
