if all conditions are optimal, I don't see why mold would be an issue..
sneakyninja said:Which raises a good question: What about a properly done grow (humidity, temp etc. controlled) creates mold in a residential building?
EddieShoestring said:BB and ChaosC-yeah -good info for the smaller growers in the UK. As it goes i know a guy who managed to run an 8x600w lamp grow off a key meter, thats about as small as commercial gets in my book. The police have lists of known grow Ops that they cannot afford to raid (identifying grows is easy and cheap-processing them and disposing of all the kit is hard and expensive) so doing one or two runs and getting out is also a good tactic-
one a personal note i agree with you guys that it is easier to stay small/pay the bills-but that's not what the commie boys do-and if you want to make it in that world it's necessary to drop alot of the ethical/ideological stuff associated with small time growing.
cheers

billy_big_bud! said:lets face it, evry grower dreams of going big. it is a natural progression. "when you love your job you never work a day in your life....." maybe we can start thinking of some good covers for an op in an industrial unit. i have thought of either ceramics because of all the energy or something that involves alot of freezers as they take alot of elec as well. any other ideas?

I can only answer for my area of the USA. Here they would be rather more angry that I stole Power than grew the pot..
Then what about guns? Should we have guns in our ops? I say hell NO! I know a good guy in jail now cause he had a gun... never used it, hell of a nice guy..wouldn't ever use it... but felt he needed it in case of home invasion. When he was busted they didn't even charge him with any pot related charges. None. Got 2 years for the hand gun. Now with out the gun he woulda got off with a slap on the hand.. some may see 2 years as a slap on the hand. But not me.. NO GUNS!
If your movin 100's of LBs your right, and I wouldn't want to know those folks! Theres a point where your growing skill is far better than your business skills. My business skills end at the point someone would rather kill me than pay me.

But very important for Cali Off grid growers
In doing some research on indoor bust we noticed a small piece of information in police reports that is not mentioned in most ,newspaper articles. In looking close at public requests of legal files a new trend is in the horizon for off grid indoor growers in California. I have no reason why but they feel this is the best approach to an enforcement/ conviction trend . It is a war and each side only has a temporary advantage. SO since no one else is breaking this story i will. ( I hope my boss does not find this and )
Cali generator people who do not and Should not post in this thread need to read but not post comments, just learn and pass it on as a legal NEED TO KNOW .
So there is a fine of $100 min ( will edit) and possible up to $1,000.00 per hr, based on the generators hr meter. Even though a conviction is hard to get fines are just a routine court request where you lose every time. 200 hours =$20,000.00
This applies to 45 k and up. Most growers are selling their 45k's , since the fine alone is more than you can gain. A heads up's on low price 45 k's
NOTICE ! !
Some though do know how to turn back the meter
TIER 3 INFORMATION FOR ENGINES 50-99 HORSEPOWER: Effective January 1, 2008, engines rated between 50 to 99 bhp transitioned from Tier 2 standards to Tier 3 standards. Engines rated between 50 to 99 bhp that currently meet Tier 2 standards will be accepted until June 30, 2008. Effective July 1, 2008, engines rated between 50 to 99 bhp will need to meet Tier 3 standards or show proof of California residency. Engines that require proof of California residency documents will be subject to the registration fees listed on Form 1-B.
Registration fees have changed effective 4/27/07. See Form 1-A for information on the new fees. For more information about other changes, see Regulation Activities below.
The Air Resources Board adopted revisions to accept "resident" Tier 1 and Tier 2 engines that do not meet the current emission standard in effect at the time of registration. PERP is currently accepting applications for all Tier 1 engines and also Tier 2 engines rated between 100 BHP and 750 BHP if documentation of operating in California at any time between March 1, 2004, and October 1, 2006, is submitted with the application. Documentation can include company equipment inventory, purchase records, usage records, or maintenance records. Form 2A must be submitted with the residency documentation.
These Tier 1 and Tier 2 engines that do not meet the current emission standard must also pay an increased fee for registration that includes back registration fees, back inspection fees, and current registration fees. The amount of the fee will be based on year of purchase, year of manufacture, or Tier 2 start date, depending on certain criteria.
The revisions also included provisions to allow registration of "stock" Tier 2 engines within six months after the change to Tier 3. No additional fees are required for these engines.
* PERP Advisory: Application submittal options for those purchasing new portable engines

From what I've seen real world.... IF you re going to grow MORE than a few hundred Plants, lets say 1000, like So many People are BUSTED for, in Basements in Homes, think about going to a Business building.
1st this thread is about COMMERCIAL grow ops, at least a few hundred in MY VIEW.
2nd, so these folks will have the where with all to it right the 1st time.
3rd, you only need ONE harvest and move on.
There is nothing wrong with using a HOME, But Be responsible for the place.
TGT uses or used a few houses and that's AOK in my book! ( Just Fine ) So this is no slam on you TGT.
I ran into a place these guys where using, and MOLD EVERY F'n Place in the house! At least they bleached and Kitz'd it,and it will still come back, but it didn't need to go that far. If they had just used some common sense.
So all I'm saying is Be a good citizen, think about who May live in that house after your gone.. would yo uwant your wife and kids living there when all is said and done?
We do need to think about our image.

Looks to me like it won't be too long before these hybrid lights in combination with LEDs will be an effective way to grow.
