Some of the signs that may indicate there is a grow-op in your neighborhood include:
- a person bringing many small plastic pails into the house and yet you never see them gardening in the backyard using those containers.
- same thing applies to planting soil, plant food, peat moss etc.....
- bringing large lengths of tubing into the house. (This is used for irrigation)
- bringing large lighting fixtures, industrial size (These are used for artificial sunlight/warmth)
- hydro meters are tampered with. Many times the growers will cut into the hydro power avoiding the high cost of electricity involved in such an operation.
- all the windows in the house (usually basement) are boarded up or covered up in some way.
- condensation on the windows. These houses will have very high humidity.
- smell coming from the house. Noxious fumes can build up in a marijuana grow-op house thus needing it to be vented. It will be a very distinct smell.
- comings and goings at odd hours.
- sometimes it will appear as if nobody is living there yet there is always a small light or T.V,. left on in the house. The yard is not looked after, i.e. long grass, snow not being shoveled in winter.
