Just had one today.
On the bright side he came when I just had vegging plants.
But you could still smell them, and I could tell he could smell them.
If they had been in flower I would have put them in garbage bags and sealed them up to reduce the smell, but because they were in veg I thought they would be all right.
I tried to keep him talking to distract him from thinking about them, and I think being friendly to him and talking to him helped a lot, because he basically without saying directly said it's cool.
As he was leaving he said he would not be back for 12 months, and I could tell he was meaning you are ok to grow now.
But I could see him look hard at the grow room windows, which had remains of black tape on the window frame from me stopping light leaks, and the nail holes in the window frame from in the past hanging plastic sheeting behind the windows to keep out the light.
I will have to get another set of curtains in the future to hang on the inside of the windows to hide the frame from view, big curtains that cover the whole frame.
I mean I could tell he knew growing was going on in the house, but I think because I talked to him and was friendly to him he didn't worry about it, even though he was obviously quite square.
So I think I'm in the clear.
But I think it may be better to hire a van or small truck in the future and put the plants in there and park it out on the street.
Now I have to put everything back together again.
It's a pain taking everything down, hiding plants, fixing up any signs of grow related modifications, only to have to set it back up again.
