In and Outdoor Safety Tips for Marijuana Growers

Marijuana growing operations are continuously being monitored by authorities.  These institutions spend millions in order to shut down marijuana growing operations in the country every year.  With this, growers should keep in mind the following list so as to avoid being caught growing marijuana.

Security Checklist for Indoor Marijuana Growers

1. You should obviously keep your indoor growing room locked at all times.  This will eliminate the chances of other people accidentally discovering your indoor garden.

2. Maintain a low profile.  It would rather be suspicious if people see you hauling 10 40-pound potting soil into your indoor garden during the early months of the year.  Keep in mind to get rid of anything related to your growing activities from your car such as pots and gardening tools, and make it a point to disable the lights that go off each time you open your car's doors just in case you have something suspicious tucked under the seats or on the floor of your car.

3. If the cops come knocking on your door, politely ask for a search warrant before opening the door.  There's no need for you to open the door before they show you their search warrant.  Whatever they say, don't let them in or even open the door if they don't have a search warrant.  The only thing that they need to get is a whiff of marijuana from your house so as to come barging in your door with or without a search warrant.

4. Don't use burglar alarms in case you're going out on a holiday.  A main reason for this is that cops will come in case your burglar alarms go off, and it won't take them long to realize that you have a marijuana growing facility in your house.  If the burglars take your plants, let them do so - it's better to start growing a new set of marijuana plants than to spend time in jail.

5. Since orange light coming out of your growing room in the middle of the night is a bit odd for your neighbors to see, keep in mind to regularly check for light leaks around your growing room.  Heavy curtains can be taped on the walls surrounding your growing room so as to prevent 100-watt orange lighting leaking out of your indoor growing facility.

6. Avoid purchasing tools and various items for your indoor marijuana garden with your credit card.  These credit card purchases are logged, and suspicious items purchased by a credit card such as 1000-watt lamps can be acquired by cops in order to identify the owner of the card.

7. Avoid hot and smelly air pouring out of your indoor marijuana growing room.  In addition, insulate the walls of your growing room in order for the light to avoid directly touching the walls.  Police IR helicopters can detect unusual heat coming from houses, so maintaining the natural room temperature of your indoor growing room from the outside can prevent police busts.

Security Tips for Outdoor Marijuana Growers

1. Arrange your plants in such a way that it cannot be spotted from the air.  This means you should simulate the randomness of nature when it comes to plants.  Try to consciously avoid planting in patterned rows or columns.

2. Always make it a point to avoid leaving tracks or signs of you constantly visiting your outdoor garden.  You can do this by stepping on stones or wood and avoiding accidentally stepping on soft ground.  Moreover, try not to disturb the natural vegetation around your outdoor garden at all times.

3. Keep in mind to tend to your outdoor garden during the night or early morning.  In addition, limit the use of flashlights during the night when you visit your outdoor garden to at least normal levels since it will be suspicious for people to see lights flooding a certain portion of an outdoor garden during the night.

4. Avoid parking your car along the road next to your outdoor garden.  Try to park under a tree beside tall bushes.

5. Avoid showing your outdoor garden to your friends or colleagues.  The time you can show your outdoor garden to the people you trust is when you need help harvesting buds.

6. Evergreens and pine trees can help hide marijuana plants during times when the weeds surrounding your plants have turned brown while the marijuana plants are still green.

7. Try to hide all growing tools or gardening equipment whenever you're working on your garden.  This will eliminate the chances of people seeing your tools while you're busy working on a different portion of your outdoor garden and luring them into the site.

8. Bring along a backpack in case you intend to harvest the buds from your outdoor garden.  This will help you conceal the buds while you're walking to your car or straight to your house.

9. Take a book about butterflies and birds plus a set of binoculars whenever you're on your way to your outdoor garden.  This way, you can claim you were bird-watching or nature-tripping until you accidentally stumbled across someone's marijuana garden.
