The police are not busting grows in NY, thats what I've been told. Because it is legalized. Just a matter of time till logistics are finalized on cultivation.

From a good source I hear its 6 plants per adult in the household. 3 babies and 3 adult plants allowed per each adult. This is the current cultivation proposal, with no pushback so far.

Thanks for that update!
NJ cops will still bust a grow. If you're from NY, ya know about Jersey cops.
From a reliable source, some smoke shops, some cigar bars....are selling "in the back". They're having trouble keeping up with demand, and that's temptig! I've still gotta hold off....for now.

First 3 years of legal rec are black market time. Cops lose interest unless you’re a true idiot. Supply can’t keep up with demand and oftentimes the product sucks for a variety of reasons at the legal outlets. If you have bags with visual and odor appeal you can unload quickly.

Yea, my guess is they would need to see a patterned usage >5kw or thereabouts to even consider it. Anything less could be probably be anything.

That's what I'd think to obtain a warrent in a non rec state.
At least 5 K. As for the ballasts, I'll still look into it for future reference. My closest neighbors are at least 40 yards away, so even if I were running 5K worth of ballasts, I doubt it would cause my neighbors interference.
Going from NY, to Colorado was a drastic change, but I could imagine what a change that was for you.
My paranoia went away in a few weeks. Moving back to a non rec state was another shock. Not a good one

Does your house even have a smart meter? If not, we'll look into how often your supplier checks your meter. Prolly once a month, if that lol.. If you have a digital, ask them to remove it due to privacy concerns. They don't need to know what time you wake up and go to bed.

Sounds to me like your a bit paranoid, which comes with the hobby.

Word of advice lol, keep it legal. Like in this climate, jobs are a dime a dozen. Nothing wrong with smoking for free, or in legal states gifting to your family, when legal :)

If you really want to grow given your situation, id keep it for personal use. No need giving off vibes to others or starting conversations that only existed in your head.

If your right, and everyone's trying to bust you, lol.. Stay with us.. Don't grow nothing if people are breaking into your garage and shit lol.. What in the hell..

I only read the first two pages of comments BTW..

Have ANY of you actually known anyone busted by a smart meter? I mean actually known the person. Not some guy who heard a guy who heard about it from another guy.

One thing A Smart meter does is enables the customer to create an account at the power companies website and monitor your own usage day by day and I think you can get it down to our by hour. So if you want to see what your usage looks like logon and take a look. I doubt if Human eyes ever see any of the data that the smart meter sends.All automated now. They might switch you back to the analog but it will cost you and you will have to pay to have it manually read. Don’t be afraid to go talk to a utility worker about it and explain your concerns. They don’t have to know where you live. I just tell them i’m thinking about growing indoors and wonder how closely the utilities still monitor your usage for that type of thing. The guy will probably say it has to be a stratospheric change and you shouldn’t worry about it. Just my two cents

If your electricity use right now is approaching the limit of your baseline allotment then adding a lot more usage is going to bump you up into the second, third, and fourth tier usage rates and that can get very expensive. That’s their bread and butter why would they want to screw it up?
 
#129
I'm just gonna say it's not even legal in some peoples' states. Some of us live 2 miles from huge military bases and grow the shit out of it. Don't let paranoia get you, but if you think something is coming burn it all. Shit grows in the ground. Truth is I seriously doubt they'd show the same day they got the call. Not enough money in it.

They’re not switching any smart meter out. That would require the meter reader coming out like the old days. If you’re that scared just stick to buying your bud.

Oh. You msy may have misunderstood?
My neighbor is a tech for the power co. Since day 1 he's been a snoop. He mowed our yard twice, the 1st year we were here.
They're cult like when it comes to Christianity, but the make $ off people bs.
A week before that happened, the oldest kid asked if she could use our bathroom. After that I saw the dude once. After everything went down, he keeps his head down, and keeps his distance. Meanwhile the wife was...
Well, I'll tell everything. My post was long enough. It gets pretty involved.
The event didn't phase me as soon as the cops went to the neighbors house. I was playing basketball on my driveway, and only stopped as a "concerned citizen "

Don’t worry! Once you’ve put your kids through college, then you can start growing your shit.

I can use this short monocular and read kilowatt hours. From a distance. You don’t have to have access to the data. In short I’m saying don’t sweat it. Tell them you’re crypto mining.

At the rate America is becoming legal , and expunging records I find it hard to believe they would even mess with a hobby / self grower only big ops would be worth their time .

I find it crazy that anyone worried about getting caught based on their power bill would post about growing on the internet. That said, I'm 99% positive the case law says a power bill alone is not probable cause for a warrant. A power bill, combined with internet pictures and seeds purchased online is probably enough.
Some states still love stealing weed growers homes and other assets. If I was growing in Utah or Idaho, I wouldn't tell anyone or show off online.

Dam, that's crazy. I would have played 10-15 years ago, but as I'm getting older, with more, and more old injuries, and surgeries coming to say hello more often, I'd probably have passed on the hatchet throwing lol.
The screwed up part is I offered to coach one of the neighbors kids in baseball, as he had a good arm for his age. I spoke to the wife, we agreed that would be a good idea, but only if a parent was present.
Now the guy who works for the power company must have seen a spike in electric for about 12 hours, and probably went looking in my garage, and basement/studio.
Yeah, I have a good amount of grow equipment from when I lived in Colorado, but it's in my garage under a tarp.
Anyway, the guy who works for the electric co drives a big truck. The other day I watched him pick up the other neighbors yard waste, and take it in the power co's vehicle.
I know what they're up to. I can't threaten the guy, or that's blackmail. I could go to the company, report him, and have his ass fired!.
I want to so bad right now, BUT that would make me a rat.
Well, if they do search the house, break up my stuff, that's a big law suit against the cops. I'm okay with that.
I'm just not sure how to play this one.
One of the guys names is Rich Johnson. DICK JOHNSON. TOO PERFECT

This fellow should become your personal new best friend. I hate to say it but teaching kids for old people is problematic in today's society. Please consider this person has a family to support and would not appreciate being fired which would end poorly. IMHO

I agree. My neighbors have, and use the power of the church...
There are good people of all faiths, but in reality, the church is in some ways, and with some people more powerful than the mob, and more wealthy than Amazon

When I saw they went to the wrong house, I could felt they thought they were making a mistake.
As I mentioned, I was outside playing ball, with kids bikes, and crap on my driveway. I had nothing growing, but I'd guess I were for obvious reasons
