Yeah, don't be surprised if you get a knock on the door/door knocked in by the DEA one of these days. lol
And yes, they can use IR to detect marijuana plants if they're outdoors. I don't think it's sensitive enough to get you if they're in your house, underground. To combat this, I've *heard* that a person should plant one tomato plant for every two marijuana plants, and it somehow scrambles or negates the IR signature of the marijuana plant. All I know is, it's not heresay or conjecture, it's reality.
But yeah- you need a totally independent power source for the lights and water pumping. Also, if it's not totally underground, make sure you insulate the hell out of the room or your house will light up like a christmas tree on a thermal scanner.
