yep.
tell ABSOLUTELY NOBODY about it!!!!
can not stress this enough.
Also dont have things out in the open. A simple lock on the door will go a long way 
Also, dont involve yourself in anything shady while the grow is going(no dealing, loud parties, shifty people)......

Dealing where growing...Dealing at all. You're bound to make Someone unhappy Sometime...
#1--Growers Mouth!!
When I grew weed 20 years ago...we had a saying...
It doesn't exist until it's in a baggie, ready to go, at a location away from growsite... And even then, it was " a buddy's product"!!
Peace and happy, quiet thoughts...

Word of mouth.
The grower being the end dealer (or anything close).
Followed by landlords, fire department, parents, RA's, and unrelated police visits.

Word of mouth. If absolutely NOBODY but you knew, it wouldn't be hard to hide in your house without arousing any suspiscion. It's hard to keep it solo, especially with close friends. Word gets out though, and it spreads faster than you think. I mean, think about how much you gossip, it's the basis of most conversation so one person slips it, another person passes it on, pretty soon it spreads exponentially until you have people calling you like, "Yo...is it cool to talk?" (knowing exaclty what's gonna be asked next)

most of the stories about hobby growers are situations where the cops come to investigate some kind of disturbance like a noise complaint, a fight, or marijuana smell, and they see paraphernalia in plain view or can plainly smell marijuana. then they search the place and find the grow.
running your mouth is a good way to get caught too.

Just don't do it, unless it is legal to do so in your area. I myself, come here solely for the conversations and the colorful people who post here.
Or, if you insist....... Be careful. TELL NOONE! If your friends want them simply tell them YOU GET THEM FROM A FRIEND.

you have to be aware of the three ways by which the police can legally search your residence. they can search by
1. obtaining a search warrant 2. obtaining probable cause, or 3. incident to an arrest to secure their safety.
#3 is the least likely one you'll run into. i encountered it myself but they couldn't make it hold up in court. keeping the grow in a locked container eliminates this threat completely.
#2 is easy enough to prevent against, as long as you keep your residence on lock down and don't leave anything illegal in plain view, ever. no more than one or two visitors at a time, no drunks, no smoking pot, no yelling, fighting, etc.
then there's a search warrant. if they get this you are really fucked. keep your grow completely locked away inside of a strong, opaque container. i always used a steel trunk. there is no way the cops are going to know what's going on inside a locked steel trunk in a closet until after look inside it, so if the only illegal thing you're up to is going on in that locked container, it's going to be hard for them to get a warrant. this only works if you remember to make sure that there is no indication of any illegal activity. no talking. no buying shady stuff with credit cards. no throwing illegal items or evidence out in the trash. no doing anything against the law or giving any indication of such that isn't locked away in your grow container.
if you've got all of this covered, there are really only two ways i can think of that you could get nailed:
1. someone (not the cops) illegally breaks into your container and this alerts the police. example: if a burglar pries open your grow box and leaves it lying there for police to find when they investigate, you are fucked.
2. the police obtain a search warrant for your residence by mistake or by false testimony. if you have enemies who are really out to get you, they could provide the police with lies that could be potentially be used to get a warrant. there are a few unlikely scenarios whereby the police could get a warrant for your placed based simply on mistake. you could still be in some problems there.
both of these scenarios are pretty unlikely. if you cover your ass, you can get away with growing mushrooms. the vast majority of cases of people getting busted are because they slipped up. i got busted because i'd sold mushrooms a few months earlier and the cops were waiting to come arrest me. they still couldn't make the search or the manufacturing charges stand in court because i gave them no legal grounds to search. it's always because someone slips up. don't slip up, and it can be done. i've never heard of a case where the grower did everything right and got nailed by a case of rotten luck.

another tip is if u do think the cops are coming on an unrelated call get the fuck out of any room that hads anythign illegal in it because they only have teh right to search the room of the house you are in for evidence u might of ditched... sworked before

Wilshire, more great advice. KEEP THAT SHIT locked up! Locked in a closet, and LOCKED inside of a container. Keep it locked in another locked container inside the bigger locked container locked inside the closet. Hell, put your landlords creds in there to make it look like it's his. LMAO!

that very rarely happens, as most likely everyone has said, the number one reason people get busted is they tell or show someone, well they're right, tell your best bud, you'll learn in a few weeks that everyone knows, if your girlfriend knows and you guys have a fight, theres a good chance the cops will know
basicly, anything that brings a cop to the door can get you busted, if you're that apranoid about growing of just feel the need to let someone know your little secret, or just cant help but tell someone for bragging rights, dont grow

Ditto to Prisoner number 1. (Sorry. I couldn't use the pound symbol. Damned used computers. You get what you pay for.)
You gotta keep that on the DL status, or you are bound to get hemmed up. It might take 3 years, it might take 5 days.

strangely enough i know 2 people that are pretty opened mouth about such shroomerisms and have never had any LEO problems......
well one of them have had problems but never got searched.... they threw huge parties all the time pretty much. and what i know of what they did indoors is only hearsay but hearing things like "these brownies are made from a male plant" well lol.......
so don't be like them !

Growing in an apartment or other rented property is also a no-no.

like said above...smoking pot in a house with a grow is dumb. Cops could come to your door for any reason, and if they get a smell, you are done for. Even if you are not loud, or high profile, and minding your own business.

Buy 40 acres. Gate the driveway have over as many friends and smoke as much weed as you like. I think people don't think about growing in ideal locations sometimes and try to make something less than ideal work.

From what I have read here over the years, there are two common reasons why people get caught growing mushrooms (where it is illegal):
1) Somebody else knows about it.
Police bust an old friend and he tells them about your grow to get himself out of trouble. Police bust the guy you just sold an oz. Police are the guy you just sold an oz. etc...
2) Random accident brings a 3rd party into contact with the grow op.
Hot water heater blows up and the repair dude notices something. House catches on fire and the firefighters notice something. Cops stop by to check on housemate and he lets them search your stuff. etc...
To solve 1, tell nobody.
To solve 2, keep things locked up and out of site and hope for the best.
