Telling one person is one too many people to tell.
Growing commercially is dangerous because of the simple fact that others know you are a grower- to get around that you can disguise that truth by saying you bought the marijuana you grew and sell it yourself or to another dealer. Another way is by having only one connection that you sell to. They still carry plenty of risk.
On a very large scale you would have to have connections with a distribution network to sell all the pot you grew. basically an organized crime syndicate. Higher risk, higher rewards.
Indoor growers mainly get caught by telling a close friend or relative, who let slip the secret to a less close friend, which eventually gets around to an undercover officer or good samaritan with anti-pot feelings who calls his local police station. A small percentage will get caught through unusual infrared readings (for those places with police helicopters and funds to conduct such a search) and high power usage. The power and water issue is usually negated because for large operations growers will purchase houses in luxurious neighborhoods where a high powerbill is commonplace- the house is essentially a shell to protect the grower. The house itself is usually flipped for a profit as well. With small operations the power issue is negligible- to avoid a power spike all you need to do is conserve power in other areas like turning off lights when you leave a room.
Sorry if this is long winded, i find learning about this kind of stuff fascinating.
