You smoke...so there will be some around....don't get in trouble. Don't know even where you are.....laws are different everywhere.

Man when I was in an illegal state I did everything myself. I never had anyone around unless it was before I setup the grow. I totally back your logic of better safe than sorry.

Most electrician's arent narcs. They are just doing a job for money. There is no reward for turning in a paying customer.. its just bad for business

Probably so. Back when there were meter readers one came to read in my apt. I figured I should let him and cross my fingers, because was not going to stop the grow which was right next to the meter. He just told me the Halide was pretty cool even though he wasn't into mj at all. Well that was a long time ago but I don't think Electric guys have changed that much.

Tradesmen typically dont look for infractions to report. They are just trying to keep customers and make a living doing their trade. There is no benefit to them reporting grows.
A few plants in a small tent is alot different than a commercial, production style, black market grow.

We will see how it goes. I’ll throw a before and after pic up I guess.
I have a 4x4 tent in that room I had to dismantle on a whim and it’s mostly mutilated poles crushed down and tent cover still on it. Sketchy to take that big bitch to dump also won’t fit in car. Guess I have to break it down further.
basically I have to have joe in my grow room that’s been in commission non stop for 2 years and it worries me.

We're rooting for ya man.
I hate it as much as the next guy but sometimes you just gotta do it. CLEAN that bitch up. It's better for your grow once you set back up anyways. As far as round holes in the ceiling id cut a square sheet of plywood paint it white and screw it over the holes.
Even if you found a really cool electrician that didn't care, you should still take advantage of an empty room and clean it spotless. It's just a way better for growing for things to be clean.
I'm about to hire someone to clean my building for 15 hours a week every week. My wife said do you have enough work to keep em busy, I said if they finish cleaning they can just start over again, things can't ever be too clean.
I understand it sucks I really hate cleaning but in my case with big gardens going it's a necessity and in your case being in an illegal state it's your only good and safe option. Just spend the few hours to do it so you don't have to worry for months later if your door gonna come flying open.
EDIT: I've taken apart tents several times and put em back together, get all the poles out and fold it like you would laundry or a regular tent. Buy contactor bags to store it in And he won't be able to tell what it is.

Problem with the poles is I often break them trying to break tent down. I’ve broken two 4x4. Just gotta be more careful I guess. Those buttons can be a pain for my weak bones. I’m a very small sized man. Not too strong or anything. I’ll get some pliers to maybe push them in better with and have my ole lady help me. I will cover with some form of white wood or posters but I think posters will show that there is draft as in I think posters would “blow” so you could see holes. Maybe not.
and I strongly agree on the clean room sentiment. I don’t know how my plants survived before with all that dust. Sadly my vent holes were quite.... quite dusty. I could scrape that shit off in sheets almost.
i swear I’m not nasty. Just a little old trailer with a 5 year old and ole lady. He makes a mess, we make a mess. But never any dishes after dinner etc. I’m just not gonna promise we dust the ceiling fans etc.... I guess a lot of people do that. We don’t. Ah well. Don’t know why I’m rambling sorry.
after we get this fixed you guys are gonna see some THUNDER! im going to PM some of you guys in here that really tried to help. I appreciate it and think you all may be friends. Anyone interested in a comparative grow? I’ll supply the seeds and that’s about all I can say legally I think so. I’ll holla if the idea generates any interest.
I’ve done a comparative on grasscity, and on here, and both ones had over 5 people in it doing same plant and we had hundreds of pages. It’s an idea guys. Thanks for all the help.

Dude none of us give a fuck about your home and its dirt. mines dirtier. way she goes. I aint even unpacked from 2.5 years ago.
That being said, the guy coming to fix your shit , if hes a bitch , then you would rather him see shit piled up everywhere rather then a grow. Turn that room into a "temp storage room" and pile up over the tent. He needs access to the outlets an the light. The rest who cares.
I know im not cut out like a lot of cop lovers but ive seen every drug known to man on jobs an its not my place to turn them in.
I completely understand your concern but the holes and junk are NOT a giveaway that you have grown before.
I have been into home that were probably used to grow in closets an such. The wiring showed growing all over it but im the only one in the crew that noticed. Everyone else had there own opinions formed on what was going on in that closet over the years. none of them thought "growing dope"

Well my situation.... I’m pretty sure my dope growing fried me lol.
anyone have any guesses before the man comes Monday? Was it the pumpkin cord? My overhead fan got rattled and wires loose from storm? Grow lights blew my room 3 up? Mice chewed something real hard? Monday hopefully we will find out....

I'll go with mice or pumpkin cord. Cant decide which.

If it was the pumpkin cord and you have it all unplugged now then I doubt it was the issue. whatever is preventing the breaker from resetting it still connected to that breaker.
Best thing I can tell you is to (with the breaker off) isolate each device on that circuit, open up the junction box and see whats going on. If you disconnect the device (like a fan) and then turn on the breaker without problem then you found the issue. Could be as simple as the ceiling fan wobbled the wire nut off a shabby junction and caused it to short out inside the junction box.
All in all the best advice is to just wait for a pro to come sort it out.

If I remember correctly the sparky he had come out initially determined the breaker wasn't faulty.

I'll second that advice. Not to confuse you but what I meant by the pumpkin cord is that the whole pumkin cord incident caused the problem inside and something blew out so even though it's not connected I'm saying it would be my choice for what caused the problem tht it was that night with the lightning and the pumkin cord plugged in. Haha just my guess.
