yeah they are. most have sufficient ventilation for the heat created by the house but not sure about the exhaust from a for several 400w HPS.
does anyone know how much an attic can handle to avoid potential FLIR detection?

props to the tin knocker above! I am a builder for to looong now, my 60 thousand btu furnace is in the attic, it's pretty hot up there all winter long so imaging is not a concern unless they have other concerns get my drift, like telling your friends whom tell their friends ect, keep it between you and the tree and its all good, seperate grow rooom trash from household and destroy it or take it to the dump yourself, do not leave it for some pickers perousal. they find out first your growing then they image to gather evidence, if they have 75% on you allready they wont bother imaging they will knock most likly kick in the door, fun fun you gotta love um because i sure dont. there are so many units for heating and cooling which are installed indoors now, mainly to fit in confined spaces without ripping out walls and changing rooms, its quite impossible to say yup thats a grow room unless your over 2000 w coupled with contained heat. My view on insulation, I dont care how much you got , it eventually equalls out at least closely, outside heat and inside heat say for a month straight whats the inside temp now of the insulation the core temp, it eventually becomes the same as both the outside and inside equalls out, acclimates. unless its two foot thick and the temps never reach the core, if you wrapped ice in insulation put it in the hot sun , how long will it take for the ice to melt, a day possibly and its gone.
Invest in air cooled lights and a real good fan, if you have lenses on the lights you wont get aroma and you can use this exaust in the winter as heat, summer, vent it outside, 3- 400 watters air cooled run at 2 degrees above outside room temp. and only 82 f at the lens, tops resting on the lenses , plants likey like.
it would be great if all would leave one more bone behind each time, I.E. worst fuck up, best fix, cheap digs, we like um cheap and easy, we are all students the plant is the master.
Best new thang, drill a hole 1/8 inch a few inches above your pump rod, pipe, hose, when pump kicks on, the hole jets a small stream which recirculates your tank water, does nothing to interfear with delivery of ample water above and keeps things stirred up at the bottom where the airstones might not be pushing enough. I do this on sump pumps also , keeps the customers pumps from getting mucky on the bottom.
Worst so far, ive fucked them all up before!
root rot, added 32oz h202 to 25 gallons, ran for 24 hour, removed all roots sticking outa net pots , tore off ALL yellowing roots, squeazed excess
water from pots, soaked in a pan of 30% h202 for a min or two each, replaced to tray, , 12 hours later i flushed each tray with clean water, 3x the amount of medium, raised ph to 6, added super thrive and clone solution/new nutes , to tank, foliar sprayed with clean water 3 times a day for two days to mitigate the root loss. This has worked fine for me, maybe for you as well. I thought it was a bit rough also, but removing all the bad and going bad roots while killing the bacteria with h2o2 seems to have saved some very large plants which are thriving again after a three day down period.

The Kyllo case went before the US Supreme Court and came to the conclusion that thermal imaging used on a private home for the purpose of obtaining a search warrant constitutes a 'search' and therefore violates reasonable expectations of privacy under the Fourth Amendment.
The findings of the court were very clear on this and I'm surprised it's still an issue. Has anyone has an experience with thermal imaging on their homes?
This is an important issue that should be made clear to all US citizens.

This is obviously about SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) but I will use I for easier writing lol.
I recently purchased some growing bits and bobs off eBay etc, and now I'm sure I just saw a police helicopter flying over my house, (and I live in the middle of nowhere) with a big fecking infrared light on underneath!
I want to do a shed grow, but now I'm worried somewhat. I have designed a grow-box within the shed, which I would hope to keep heat in, but will it?
Currently just using reflective white wood. I wanted to use my 600W HPS and do a sweet scrog, but I'm thinking now it too risky and go with a 2x 250W CFLs one blue -veg, one red -bud. I could get some insulation, insulate the ducting and run the exhaust underneath., thinking about getting an intercooler like the other person said.
Hmmm, put a bit of a dent in my good intentions seeing that helicopter...
Any ideas? I live outside US BTW, so the (real handy) warrant before scan doesnt come into it.

i remember a story a while back here in the uk. some fella had a carvan parked on a field which caught on fire by accident. when the fire brigade arrived to put the fire out they discovered a shit load of shipping containers buried in the ground under the caravan. it had a multi million £ grow going on. they would never have found it as the ground absorbed all the heat if the fire hadnt have happened
