Stealth Growing: How to NOT get Caught Growing Weed
by Sirius Fourside |
If you’ve ever gone to a forum for advice on growing cannabis, you’ll know that there is no shortage of opinions on what you can do to become a better grower.
Learning new tips and training techniques give you an edge in growing and
help you increase your yields. However, there is one thing that I consider to be the most important part of advancing your growing knowledge…
NOT GETTING CAUGHT! |
No matter how good you are at growing cannabis, if you get caught and end up in jail, you’ll be in a place where your skills are useless and wasted. Even if growing cannabis is legal where you live, there are still thieves and nosy neighbors
you don’t want learning about your garden.
But fret not! We’ve compiled this easy-to-read list of tips to help keep you out of the sight and minds of people who could ruin your life just for growing a plant.
Remember, the only thing better than increasing the potency and yields of your harvest is making sure you get to keep said harvest!
Let’s get into some tips for Stealth Growing – keeping your grow “under the radar” of other people. First, the mantra: “No smell, no sell, no tell” There are a lot of ways to keep you and your grow safe, but this is the heart of it all. - No smell – No one should be able to smell your grow or smell cannabis on you. This makes you an easy target for police and marijuana
haters!
- No sell – Statistically, people who are growing cannabis strictly for personal use deal with far less legal trouble than people who sell their cannabis. This even applies in places like Colorado where it’s legal within the state!
- No tell – Having fewer people know about
your grow reduces the chances of you getting busted by law enforcement or burglarized by thieves. I know it’s hard not to show off your awesome growing skills, but this one secret that needs to stay a secret! In fact, telling someone about your grow is the easiest way to get yourself in trouble one way or another.
Growing Indoors vs. Outdoors There are benefits to both of
these growing methods, but when it comes purely to stealth, indoor growing is the way to go. Indoors, you can completely control smell and sound, plus your plants are out of view. Outdoor growing has one potentially major problem that indoor growers are pretty much safe against…people wandering by! This is especially problematic when the plants are being grown on your property. Many outdoor growers have been busted by nosy neighbors, city/utility workers, or just bad weather(floods have revealed
hidden outdoor grows, for example). If you can grow indoors, you’ll make yourself that much harder to find!
It’s more stealthy to grow indoors – no one can stumble upon your plants!
In the vegetative stage, though some plants have a cannabis smell from the beginning, most cannabis tends to make a clean, fresh smell akin to the gardening section in a home improvement store. But once flowering kicks in, the smell can range from tame to “WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!”
Luckily, this can be easily corrected with several products
like carbon filters for in the grow room, or odor neutralizers for living spaces. Some growers use diffusers or candles to help cover up smells on an emergency basis.
Additionally, you can try growing cannabis strains that are known for
having a more neutral smell (like the ones listed below). The goal is to make sure that the smell stays within your grow space, and doesn’t find its way into your living areas!
Important Note: Odor neutralizers with perfumes should not share the same air as your plants, meaning they shouldn’t be placed in your tent with your cannabis or the perfume smell might get onto your buds. Check out

Low Odor Marijuana Strains – Strains known for producing low/non-marijuana-like odor:
Photoperiod strains - Deep Blue C Auto or Auto Duck are examples of auto-flowering strains that are great for stealth growing due to their smell (or lack thereof)
Low odor strains definitely aren’t fool-proof, but they can help make things easier! These are just a few examples of strains that are known to have a relatively low or neutral smell, but there are many others. Learn more about researching strains.

In the U.S., many states have their own laws on how marijuana is treated. Some states will send marijuana users to jail for years, some will give them counseling, others will just give a fine, and some do nothing at all.
However, it’s important to remember that
marijuana is still illegal according to U.S. federal law, as well as the law of most countries. In fact, cannabis is still classified as 'Schedule 1' with the US federal government; Schedule 1 is the highest (worst) classification a drug can have, and cannabis shares the classification with hard drugs like Methamphetamine and Heroin. Although this classification is obviously motivated by reasons other than public safety, it's important to remember that you can still be prosecuted and
jailed just the same.
It’s imperative that every grower spend at least a little time making sure they know the laws that apply to them to help minimize the risk of being prosecuted.

Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
