Conspiracy to Produce or Cultivate (UK)

So I've got everything I need to keep me going for the foreseeable future so I'm done with growing for the moment. I now however have a wardrobe that contains; vermiculite, perlite, brown rice flower, jars, gravel trays and lids, gloves, capsules, empty and filled syringes and spore prints.
I am aware that in the UK (England) spore syringes and prints are legal but if the items in my wardrobe were to be discovered, could I be looking at a conspiracy to cultivate charge if such a thing exists?

Conspiracy requires two or more people to be in on an idea/plan, and one of you to have done something towards preparing for it. So on your own, I guess it's not technically conspiracy.
I would imagine, if they got a warrant to search your house (which is unlikely to happen, unless you tell a cop what you're planning to do) then your stuff will be taken.
I know there is a charge for 'going equipped' here, that means if you're driving around with a crowbar and a screwdriver, you can be taken in for planning a burglary.
It's all in context I suppose. If you're that concerned, keep your brown-rice-flour and jars in the kitchen. Your gloves/capsules in the bathroom. Your trays/lids/vermiculite/perlite out in the shed. And you're syringes hidden under the floor boards

This is a good example about telling nobody.
For conspiracy you don't have to have made an actual attempt at anything. But they need at least two people for a conspiracy charge. Just planning the conspiracy along with one act in furtherance (buying supplies) is enough to charge you.
For "attempted manufacturing" you actually have to make the attempt, not just plan it. How easy this is to prove varies. Just having the supplies alone isn't enough 99% of the time. Only if they can prove that acquiring the supplies constitutes the attempt will it stick.

Just make sure all they find is equipment, if you haven't got a bulk operation under construction or operating I highly doubt a UK court would bother prosecuting, luckily they don't seem to make fungus a priority... Long may it continue.
