In countries with a thick legal system (US, Canada, Western Europe....) I don't think the authorities are paying much attention to this site. But... if you are caught for another reason and they do a thorough investigation (likely if you are way over possession limits or are selling) then they may find this website on your hard drive and use it as an additional count against you or as evidence to further prove your illegal actions. Every arrest I am aware of has started for some other reason, and it's usually stupidity. You are doing something illegal so keep your mouth SHUT. Do not tell anyone about what you are doing. Don't brag to your friends. Don't be a big shot and "set up" your friends with a weed gift. You break up with your girlfirend... potential tip to the police. Owe someone money... potential tip to the police. Someone you're selling to not happy... potential tip to the police. Once the police have been notified of your potential actions they may start investigating and then all the little details will be documented and used against you. Including any related websites you visit.

Who really knows, it is probably run by the CIA! People probably fail to finish their diaries because...... - their plants are not as good as hoped - their buds are not as good as hoped - their buds are really good and they are too busy smoking them to be bothered entering more info - or they are plain lazy!

Nah, the cops got better things to do then chase up a grower for a few plants. Are you a "hobby" grower who is obviously in it for the fun and personal smoke? If so then your fine and welcome!! If your a commercial cash cropper then see ya later buddy. Cops wont tie up a computer geek in a tech lab somewhere at an hr then send a team of cops to raid you for 2 or 3 smaller plants. They just wont unless your in china or north korea... lols. Its not worth their time. And some pple have disasters like spider mites, mold or even relationship break ups and have to move/ kill the crop. Some just get tired of entering comps and never winning while others grow weary of uploading pics each week of a plant they not very proud of....or even embarrassed about!! And unfort some post questions wanting help as they new, and no one helps or even says something kinda mean like "as if you didnt know you need to do XX or XX..." So they get spooked and leave the site. Most of us are good here but if we think there is someone that post questions that are dumb without even bothering to google it first-and they do it every few days and spam questions about simple stuff they should have learnt by reading up first...well we can be kinda mean here... and just act like they dont exist. Hope that explains things a bit better here.

This revolver is a black powder colt replica. legal in my country. It's ridiculous that a revolver that can kill easily is legal and a plant that heals and gives so much fun to cultivate is banned. pharmaceutical companies will never allow marijuana to be legal. I asked this question because I noticed unfinished diaries and I wondered why suddenly someone stopped keeping a diary.

just avoid saying where your growing, who you are, and blur anything that can identfy you in photos. I think Grow Diaries strips all images of meta data when uploading but can always do this before hand. Metadata is stuff like what phone the photo was taken on, time of day/year, sometimes location information. I'd also connect via the TOR network if its illegal to grow where you are. Your ISP can tell your using TOR but they can not tell what for. VPN is also an option if it private vs open. Can also encrypt your hard drives so if they ever get in the polices hands they can't access any of your information. Good Luck!

Your uploading and displaying photos to the internet, what can a site really do to protect you from that. You have a gun in your avatar, what are your local laws regarding gun control ?
