Grow situation in Deutschland

Hello everybody, as I wrote in presentation I've been living in here since couple months, and I still can't speak German, so please forgive me and let me the time to study it more deeply :) Hope that it is not against forum rules, in that case close the 3d without problem.

Anyway....I want to understand more about the weed situation in the country. I now that each land has his own rules, and some land is more "open minded" than other if we talk about weed possesion. But, what about repression of home growing ? Wich is the most common error that allows police to catch a grower?
For example, in Italy, where I used to live, the most common error for a growers is "speaking to much" about his secret. Another is when police stop you for a control, find out weed. Is likely that police come to your home for a search warrant and then find the plant.
What about this situation Germany? My only fear is an electrical controll, because at home we are 4 and for our personal consumption we get more or less 1-1,2kw. Could be possibile? Do you know more about that?

Thanks to all of us, and again, sorry for no write in German.:tiphat:

Hello and wellcome, :tiphat:

I am not sure, but I think the laws in Italy are close to the laws in Germany. Tougher laws they´ve got in Bavaria. Important, no weapon in the house! If they find weed and a weapon it costs you 5 years!

Hello Herman and thanks for welcome and for the weapon advice...luckily is totally not my case :)

Yeah the law is pretty similar...but my dubt is more about "the most classics scenarios in wich a grower get catch by police". Have you ever read about electric control for 1,2kw growing? In Italy this practice is pretty unusuall unless you got more than 4-5kw.

Sorry Mayoh, I don´t know what a 1,2 kw grow is, but I never read about electric control. Most mistakes are what you wrote, talking, smelling,....

error for a growers is "speaking to much" about his secret.

Just like in germany...

1,2kw shouldn't be to much. But in a rented apartment I would never do more than 2 Lamps. Nosy neighbours can be a problem, just as people see you with equipment or things. And in many flats the heater consumption get's checked one time a year by the companies. So you always need to clean off rooms this time.

My advice: Dont try this in bavaria!:biggrin:

Hi Pollo!! Is nice to read you also in there ;)

Luckly we live on the last floor and our only neighbours are quite, no problem on this side! What about heater consumption? We receive a letter in advance? Do you know how works this thing?

Off course, I'm not in bavary....I live in north east, big city :)

Some flats have counters for heating in each room.
If this is the case, someone, is coming in your room once a year to read the meters.
And everybody who wanna come to your flat have to make a appointment, there are no reasons for someone to enter you rooms. Strict laws here, good for you :)

Only case is fire or something of course.
1,2 KW should not be a problem.
But if your power counter is public visible, a neighboor could see how much power you are consuming.
Someone could wondering why you need so much energy. (in special at 12/12 interval ;-) )

Growing in germany is very safe if you follow the "normal" growing rules (no talk, no smell,etc.).

Of course, don´t get catched by police with lots of weed in your pocket, then they considering you sell it and checking out your flat (in bavaria for small amounts also).

Right Mayoh, this is the meter.
They check it every year. You get a message before with date and time, maybe 2 weeks or so. If you are not available you can tell them and make a appointment a week or two later usally :)
This thing looks like it has an display, maybe it is possible to read it by yourself and tell them by phone or email. I know the older ones, they are not easy to read and a someone from the company has to check it itself.
