Yes, It's Risky. There are 100's of way's to get Busted. The most common is someone turning you in. Do you have alot of frends? Not saying your buddys are going to turn on you, But you start showing 2-3 frends your "Babys" and sure as hell They'll tell someone "Yea, I got a buddy Growing some Kind...." Next thing you know , You've Got some unwanted Attention. Be carefull!! Grow Small, Watch your Bills, Dont Sell,Watch what you say around OTHERS, The Best Cover is live quietly, Dont Raise Suspicions, Be frendly, be nice, Your Landlord is more incline to trust his/her tenant who pays their Rent and Utilitys on time, is always Frendly and Talks nice small talk, As oppose to someone who's late with the rent, Do'sent say "Hi", and whom allways has there Music too loud,Too Late, and has alot of people "Stopping"-By. Ask your Landlord that if they need to come by for Repairs, Bug-Spraying, Or INSIDE your house, to please noteify you 2 to 5 days in advance, Also to please NOT come-by Early in the Mornings. Number One, You dont want ANYONE to come INTO YOUR HOUSE IF YOU ARE NOT HOME!!! Number Two,COPS will almost ALWAYS Do RAIDS EARLY in the MORNING! Cops,Salespeople, Collection Agents and Religion Based Hard-cores are The ONLY People Banging on your Door Before 10:AM. Grow your own, Tell US,Here, Share with frends, Tell'em you met Someone who gets a "Little"-Bit Every Now and Then, Later, Pop-up with a "Little" More...Yes,The Benefits of Growing your own are Fantastic, and with pot prices going up more and more, Having your Own "Secret Garden" to help fill-in during "Dry"-Times is a huge plus. Good luck!!
