So where did they get the electricity? I?ve heard that a lot of busts result from companies reporting to authorities about high electric bills.

The set up is awesome. Those boys must have had a lot of money for a start up business like that.

yeah i would imagine he would have some sort of generator powering all that.

as for the cave... no idea how you would go about digging that out... last time i checked my local hire company, they dont rent out industrial tunnel diggers... i guess if you have alot of money to start with you can make things happen

cave was natural. already there. they had the power company put a bigger transformer, but it wasn't enough, so they stole power as well. not to mention the fact that all that electricity was going to an empty house. not to suspicious.

seems like an idiot to me,, why grow that much weed in one spot,, theres no way your going to fool the elctric company , also when you get new bulbs every few grows it might look a tad suspicious buying several hundred at a time..

Easy to bust.

The plants dont look very healthy either..

Impressive setup , but not really. the fake rock was cool , but just asking for trouble.

holy shit that is nuts, kinda reminds me of the molson plant but not secure haha

Did you noticed the part where it said it was under investigation for 5 YEARS until the bust took place...

That fucking thing is massive...makes one wonder how many tons of weed got out of there over all these years...shit

Batman would be proud!
:1orglaugh

If there's a will, then there's always a way..

...or post about it on a public board thread about growing weed. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Very stupid. Not so much because of how large of a setup but just the little things.

Why not setup a place in bumfuck nowhere. Have some sort of shack where you live in pretending to be a redneck loser on a mountain. Setup solar panels etc and don't even live on the grid.

pretty impressive.

that's no backyard operation...

Damn that is pimp

this is what ive got - The server at www.phishhook.com is taking too long to respond.

backwards folks my ass. that one hell of a set up i have ever seen.

same here.

if anyone got the page to load hotlink the images or whatever there is there

Batman would be HIGH as hell. :winkwink:

Not sure how they would catch you if you did it all underground, but i know in most farm areas and stuff the outdoor operations are pretty easy to spot, the cops fly around in planes and helicopters alot looking for it.

too much traffic... shit like that link are viral

:disgust

crazy shit right there

look how clean that place is

Now that is a sweet setup :D

Looking pro to me, did the police takes the photo's or the owner?

That was most likely an old bomb shelter from the 50's-60's that a house was built on top of.
If you do a google search you can find alot like that and old missle silows(sp?) for sell here in the US. Would be awsome to own something like that

take a good look at the first picture and you'll answer your own question ;)

Fuh-huck.

I'll bet their multi-year success owed a bit to the fact that most folks would never dream an operation of that scale could be hiding behind so unremarkable a facade - :2 cents:




2hp

and here I was... thinking heaven was above me :pimp

holy shit!!!!

Sweet setup!
