I bought some stuff online, It has shown up on my statement as "HYDROPONICS" something or other. I ordered from this shop before and it said something different so I thought no sweat ordering from my card until I saw "HYDROPONICS" on my online statement. My bank manager knows me and doesn't like me because of my bro. Do I have anything to worry about having "HYDROPONICS" on my credit card here in the UK ?

I think quite often that we get more para because we know it's dodgy, but that doesn't always mean that others see it as dodgy too. As matchbox quite rightly points out, other people have legit reasons to buy from hydroponic stores and i bet they don't give 2 fooks about it being on their statements.
I had a similar para yesterday. I'd bought some scientific scales, only asda ones, just to get a rough idea of my harvest. Then i went and left them in my motor and took it to a garage for some repair work. As soon as i realised i was stressing over it!
Then i remembered i hadn't turned my stereo off and the 1st thing they'd of heard when puttin key in was some recent eminem mix tape i was checkin out. Well i put these two things together and got panicky, scales, gangsta rap, guilty concious or what?! I was only expecting to lose the motor for a day, they had it two. My mind had images of all sorts of forensic teams going over the motor and a raid the following morning.
They were just waiting on a part. No raid, no funny business when i picked it up, sound. Morale of the story - Don't Panic! ...and if you start to panic ffs don't start chonging heavy cos it'll only make things worse!

Yeah, there's pure irony in the fact that we get para growing it just to get more para from the end product. Either way it's all in the mind and just by recognising that fact then you're half way to overcoming the problem...

Thanks padster, I just wondered because I have been busted before, would that mean they could say the equipment must be for a certain kind of grow.
As for mechanics I know loads of mechanics and every single 1 of them that I know of takes drugs, in either the form of weed or the form of coke and or pills. I actually know a weed head mechanic who used to service police vans. I remember him telling them about how he services these vans 1 day when we was talking to them after someone had crashed a car and ran off in our area. A few of us were at the scene and a couple coppers were sat in the van. Ironic bit is a weed head services police vans that have probably had weed heads in the back of them for possession

Not unless you're planning on taking your bank statement down the local cop shop for a good 'ole chin wag on your current financial affairs. Another post i read once put it quite plainly, if they're looking at stuff like your bank accounts, energy usage or intentionally flying copters over your house then chances are you're already FUBAR'd!
The other part of our para usually comes from things that are out of our control. Well, the answers in the question there! If it's out of our control why bother wasting time and energy worrying about it...

It's nice to get a perspective from someone with a level head. I guess my main worries were, what if someone from the bank who doesn't like me just made an anonymous phone call to the feds and said "he got weed" Does seem a bit silly to think that would happen but once in a while silly shit does happen. I have already been on with a grow for the past 8 months and nothing happened but I didn't buy a single grow item in that time as I got it second hand from an old buddy. I'm talking about orchids of course
As for weed making us para. I think that the para that comes with smoking weed is actually due to the fact that it's illegal and not simply the weed itself. If it was legal we would have less to be paranoid about.

As you say, shit can and does happen, while it is perfectly legal for you to buy any grow equiptment from any hydroponic store, i still opt for stores that hide their identity like yourelf. One reason i never frequent ebay for grow kit, 1. i don't know who they are but most of the time, they'll just flag your bank statement with "joes hydroponic growstore!" etc.
Padster is correct though, if they've been granted the power to look through your bnk records, then they're pretty much just compiling evidence to back up an imminent search warrant etc.

Remember paranoia in small amounts can be your friend! I'd much rather have some of that than complacency, cos that'll get you caught.
Plus cheers for the +rep, ...tho for some reason it's not showed up as positive?? I don't get it sometimes, i apparently neg rep'd someone without knowing it once. i don't even see the option to neg rep someone, i just click rep and the approve section is always marked, and cannot be unmarked?? Prob just good old user error but if anyone can enlighten me it'd be welcome...

Grey/blue rep, can't tell, is from users who havn't reached a certain post count. Once they reach that they get to give green rep. Only moderators or paying members can give out negative rep.

Nice lookin cheese btw! I had a rare bit of that stuff come my way the other week, damn good smoke. Don't know how comparable it is too snow white yet but if it's half as good i'll be happy. I'll also be just as happy if my plants fill out anything close to that sucker of yours!

Ta man, unfortunately it's not filled out as good as i'd like, i made a booboo and didn't trim off as much as i should have prior to flowering so i have an ungodly amount of fluff to trim/hashify. Next grow is a SCROG, i'm just never happy with the final result.
Not tried snow white so i can't comment, sound like a nice one. I really want to get hold of some laveendar, i'm getting a bit bored of the cheese at the moment.

Tis the 9 1/2 week cheese. !5 week bud below. Quite impressed by how alive it stayed living off of plain water for 5 weeks.
i only left a couple of buds on each plant to go for 15 weeks as it was purely a seed experiement which as should be expected doesn't appear to have worked.
