i dont think they are looking for a little 1000 watt lamp, it would look just like a space heater or something on the heat cameras, i think they are looking more for big ops like the heat of 10 lamps and 1000 plants
EXACTLY right my friend in my area in the uk there have been likr 10 busts in the last 3 months all were filling all the rooms with weed and lights
and bypassing the electricity
firstly a hellicoptor does a hover by scan for possible hot spots these are then looked into by the cops if there is no electricity usage for the property and it is glowing hot they have a warrant in a hour off a judge and hey presto they are busted
if a concernd m.o.t.p calls the cops and they tell them of a suspect growhouse they will scaN it with infared like the predator uses i know he is fictional btw lol
so be honest pay for the electric and dont go greedy or too large scale the cops love finding huge factories but consider the home growers for personal as a waste of there time keep it small and personal and not in a loft and your all set buddy
oh yea keep your mouth shut aswell if any 1 hears they can grass you up and the pigs will visit you anyway if you refuse them entry they have cause for a warrant but when you answer the door they will smell it anyway
keep it covert small and honest karma will watch your back man ...PEACE!!!
