Hi all, does anyone think that the police helicopter would pick up on my grow.? It's in a cupboard I have two plants growing at the moment the lights that are in there are 300watt led and a 180watt led. It is vented in to the attic, through a carbon filter. Max temp is 28c the attic is not insolated. Any thoughts would be great cheers. Bloody police fly overs are doing my head in.

Yeah man. I get that way too. Don't know the answer to your Q. I don't know. Guess we can just hope for the best. Sounds like you're set up is pretty stealth tho. And that's not very many watts either. Good luck.

With your LEDs, your running 480 watts. My computer power supply is 500 watts. The only way LEO could detect your small grow is if you put a sign on your roof that says, "I grow marijuana".
The change of getting caught by being ratted on is WAY more of a risk than them being able to figure something out while looking down.

If you live in the US, they need a warrant for an FLIR flyover. Your garden is in your private home, the burden of proof for a home warrant is huge. And there is no law against having a hydroponic garden in your home.

They cannot say "Well, we happen to see the heat signature from his attic on a fly over, can we have a warrant to make sure he is growing tomatoes, and not weed?". Laws vary in states as to if smell is valid for a warrant.
Don't sell, Don't tell, Don't smell as i have seen written here many times

Don't assume the USA has become grow safer. In some states, yes (only because the Feds haven't done much against)...In the other states who still have no medical or decriminalization laws, getting caught can be devastating.You can loose your property, money, and time.

I think that they are after LARGE grow rooms with multiple 1000w...
No need to worry. I think that most people get caught because their "friends" turn them in!
