should i be worried?

I grow in a tin shed about 10x12 my tent is inside it and the ducting goes from the light out the top of the tent and just hits the inside of the roof.
Im running a 600w hps
Temp inside tent was 84f
Temp outside was about 70
A helicopter flew DIRECTLY above my shed by about 50-60 feet. And it was blue and white. Straight up police helicopter from gta.
A few weeks back i had one of my plants outside the shed and by the boat as i was making adjustments inside i hear a chopper and it flew through my property but not my shed, i almost shit.
I later found out that someone had done some gun related shit about 10 min up the road and they sent 2 out there i also heard alot of sirens but this time i didnt hear any at all. Just a chopper flying over my shit.
I got 3 autos in the shed.
Do i have a legit security concern?
Should i move them to the woods for a few weeks?
I am of course talking about them using FLIR to tell that im growing.
Also i bought most my equip off the internet and had it plus the seeds mailed to.my address under my real name. Thats..,. Yeah thats why im sketched

i'd not worry about it tbh..

Hope u are right

We can tell you not to worrie. But honestly do what makes you feel secure. I would think the worst part of growing is doing so in fear. Be safe and good luck

A 600w HPS is overkill with 3 autos IMHO. So if your shed is 10x12 and you were making adjustments but only have three plants why was it necessary to move it outside? I'd never do that, especially if you have nosy neighbors and aren't in a legal state.

With just a 600w I doubt they are going to raid your shed though, lol.

Imho if they did happen to flag you (which sounds unlikely for ur setup) posting online is an open invite for a search warrant. If you were or ever do become flagged, better believe feds will do whatever they can to link your registered email to whatever you're a member of online; posts, blogs, whole 9 yards. It's so easy nowadays to get caught slipping
That said , the helicopter fuel alone would be worth more than a petty 3-plant bust , I wouldn't worry.

i wouldn't be too concerned. they don't want to fill out the paperwork for your little home grow, they're looking for factories where people are producing pounds per month. i would be more cautious about putting plants outside though, even for a minute, as you saw, that minute is always the wrong minute. i doubt the helicopter could spot one plant in your backyard as it was scooting past, but your nosey ass neighbor sure could.

Don't make your plans based on what you think the enemy might do. Make your plans based on the worst they are capable of doing.

I had 4 in there but took 1 out cause it wasn't done begging. Also didn't want to do 6 plants and possibly waste seeds. This is my first grow and I figured I'd yield more in the long run if I don't use 1/4th my genetics on my first grow.

I made an email just for this riu acct. I don't even remember what it was. Also, no neighbors I live out on the outskirts of town. Right by national Forrest.

Thanks for the advice everyone

It's a shed, sometimes they get hot . My shed which I don't grow in, just store yard tools, is an oven usually if it's sunny out from early spring to late fall. Add some gable vents to let the heat out of it doesn't have any.

How many you got going? Ok so just read that you have 3 plants. So that's not 3.5 years lol. 5 is 6 months FYI. But still it could be bad . As for them seeing the heat, that's not enough for a warrant but it could tweak their interest. Doubt they were watching the FLIR in the way to a crime scene as well. I wouldn't worry about three plants and also I think due to the uncertainty with the laws right now cops are ignoring lots of small stuff. That's just my thoughts so yes if your tweaking move em.
