This is the truth, why would you even consider risking this? Give the plants to a friend to finnish if you can't bring yourself to chop them now. They may or may not actually come, and they may or may not actually search the entire house. BUT.. if they do, even if you hide the plants but they find your growing equipment, you can bet they will push to search the entire house because they will be suspicious.
be calm and collected. Put them in a closet in your moms room if you have to or a different one not yours. Get some veggies or herbs to make it appear like your growing food. Or keep them in a bathroom. Have a friend over too Pretend he is showering In the bathroom til the PO leaves. Be creative. But in the end is it worth catching a charge??
