How to Spot a Marijuana Grow Operation

House has a "not lived in" feel: Many grow operations do not have people living inside them.

Unusual visitor behaviour: Inconsistencies in visitors to and from the residence, ranging from no visitors giving the appearance of seclusion, to frequent visitors for short time periods.

Covered windows: Covered with white plastic, heavy curtains pressed against the windows or blinds that are tightly shut & pressed against the windows. These window coverings will never be opened.

Condensation: Humidity inside a grow room is approximately 65% with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. These conditions cause condensation on windows and walls that result in mould, mildew and rot.

Smells & Odours: Skunk-like odour mixed with a sweet vegetative smell or the unique smell of rotting cabbage. Also, the odour of mothballs or fabric softener is frequently utilized to try and mask the smell of the operation.

Sounds: The sounds of humming fans can be heard because the air inside the growing rooms needs to be vented outside. The air may be vented through the chimney, into the attic, or even into the sewer system. In addition, the sounds of construction late at night could be an indicator.

Localized power surges: Neighbourhood residences experience unexplained power surges or power "browning" (decrease of power which dims lights & slows down appliance use) with the return of normal power flow approximately 12 hours later.

"Beware of Dog" or "Guard Dog on Duty" signs: Used to deter trespassing, protect against theft and detection by police.

History of premises: Residence and/or commercial premises have been used as marijuana grow operations in the past. Many of these rental properties are known among the criminal element as having been used for growing marijuana then repeatedly used again.

Other indicators used as props to deflect any attention by neighbours and police: Outdoor and/or indoor lights, radio and/or TV on for 24 hours, flyers left in mailbox or on the front steps, children's toys & bikes outside without children living or seen at the residence, realty signs posted on front lawn.



some also have animals outside that tend to be loud, like ducks or chickens.

I don't know if this info is to explore a grow operation house? or report them me myself would care less to report them but explore would be fun with some extra advantages ^_~ thing is thought the kind of people who can afford a place to use it for just that i would not want to run into them while exploring it.

You just have to carry a bigger stick.

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

Yes I guess so I could be wrong but what I have always read about places like that an it seems it is always like drug cartels that run that kinda stuff so it would be sketchy if that is was true but around here growers are somewhat poor and grow in the same place they live.

I'd so buy a UER bong!!! Don't need the condoms but hell, I'd buy those just to hand them out for advertisement.

I've often thought about finding a "grow op" while exploring... ;)

Thanks for this thread. Made me laugh!

These are all over where I live. To be honest , what was explained as a 'grow op' sounds more like a 'Trap' where I'm from. Most peoples gardens around here have $200,000 greenhouses with up to 500+ plants in each one; very easy to spot. However, caution be exercised as a few people from the bay area have moved in the area with only criminal intent and not for medicinal use. When I say most peoples gardens' I mean most of the people that live here. Maybe I can get a few pictures' most are legal and under the regulations of the law,
Buy yeah, stay outta peoples gardens, I hear shotguns go off nightly while watering .

(I'm not dissing the bay, I lived in Oakland and worked in SF for years, just going off what the local police had found through investigating. I <3 41510)
