Perhaps they just think you are a nosey bast@rd .I think i have the same problem next door,one thai or something in rented accomadation.I have heard drilling you never see anyone except for a white merc van (twice) reversed right into the yard late at night so nobody could see anything also they have thin sheets at ALL the windows in the house and there is never any snow or frost on his roof and all the lights are always on.The police were outside there the otherday so i think the door will be coming off soon.

999 no mate i would rather watch them send the door off and bring the plants out,our local copper is sound. 900ss,there has never been any frost or anything in the 3months the house has been used.The heating is always on can tell from the vent.Its pretty obvious what is going on.I am just surprised its taken the local plod so long to realize.It is getting more and more common around my area for vietnamese nationals setting up factories in rented accom.

They gone for a different look in decorating,

If that is true, defo growing!! Stupid to black or whitewash windows though. Gets attention, as you have proved! lol

Look for open windows when its cold. Always suss. Not normal is it? And silver or grey tubing protruding from windows, chimneys, etc


Police choppers can only lock onto massive comercial grows, not small opertaions. How can you tell in a row of terrace houses? You can't unless you are talking about stupid or greedy people.

CFL bulbs give off little heat. 600w bulbs are hotter, 1000w more so. But how does a chopper tell the difference between the heat signature of a boiler and a bulb? They can't. Unless the roof is lit up. Greed and stupidity again.

It's mainly tip offs and greedy commerical growers who deck out lofts with gear and no insulation. Biggest tell tale for choppers is extraction. People pumping 30c heat out of thier lofts or windows when its -2c outside.


First thing i thought was, growing.

As said, in flower you may be able to smell a bizarre fruity smell, but as also mentioned by someone, if the are running carbon filters in a sealed room, you won't.

I presume its a rented house also?

It was a young couple who lived next door who had the house repossessed.A company who specialises in lettings purchased it and did a refurb so its not a decorating issue.My nosey missis says she has looked through the rear window to see some lad lying on a sofa in the kitchen !!.The bloody upstairs windows are always open when its freezing cold but other than getting my ladders out and taking them around there and climbing up and sniffing through the window what can i do and knowing my luck plod will turn up and try an do me for b&e.Oh my missis just said the lad saw her peeking through the window,i bet he shit himself.I cant do the loft thing mine is a semi and his is a row of terraced.I will wait until i see him go out again and get my nose in the letter box,hope they don't have a dog.Gremlins pisser he looks like one too !
