Just purchased a tent and planning on running a single 600w hps in it... I was doing a cupboard grow before and my area was much smaller... The tent is huge in comparison... should i be worried about it getting picked up on FLIR as it is a bigger op? Im planning on venting either directly inside the house but outside of the bedroom door to keep ambient temperatures down or possibly up into the attic if i can make it happen? Do you think im more detectable now that i have a tent and a 600w?

600 watts is nothing. Also, you can setup your grow such that lights are only on during the day. FLIR only shows temperature differences, so warm air is far less noticeable in the heat of the day versus pumping hot air into the cold night. FLIR is rarely used during the day anyway, it would be far too difficult to notice any temperature differences.

Do you live in the USA? I believe FLIR cannot be used to get a warrant, it's a huge violation of privacy. You have almost nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys, im in the uk.... but for those reasons above i do only run my light during the daytime hours... we do get police helicopters flying about from time to time overhead... and i definitely dont want to vent to the outside
