Around here, it's mainly the power company, then informers. If you grow for profit, you need contacts. And you can't really trust your contacts.

If your community has a store that deals in hydroponics supplies, the cops may well stake it out. That happened around here. Whenever somebody drove in and made a serious purchase, they (the sheriffs) wrote down his license number or followed him home, and investigated.

After a while, the local drug lawyers compared notes and figured out that their grower clients were all getting busted right after going to the hydro store! The sheriffs took a lot of flak for profiling (and being lazy), and the store moved into the city limits, away from the sheriffs. The city cops don't care.
