I've heard all of these reasons before, and I really do believe them, but the question still remains.
What do you think the odds are that you will get busted? For just one plant? or for five?
1 in 10?
1 in 100?
1 in 1,000?
Personally, I don't really know, but my guess is if you can keep it 100% quiet, where only you know, probably around 1 in 1,000. If you are somewhat loose liped, somewhere between 1 in 1, and 1 in 10. Anyone agree?
