Other indications for InterNACHI inspectors and neighbors:

  • skunky marijuana odor. Other odors may also be apparent, such as those from mothballs, air fresheners or chlorine, which are used in an attempt to mask the marijuana smell;
  • unusual garbage strewn across lawn. Items used for growing marijuana, such as wiring, PVC piping and nutrient containers, may be discarded and left around the house;
  • humming sound. electrical equipment used for the growing operation can create sounds similar to transformers;
  • windows covered in dark plastic or newspaper;
  • perpetually illuminated rooms;
  • extra security, such as guard dogs and fences.

In summary, inspectors may encounter unsafe or defective conditions caused by marijuana grow operations

Add to that windows painted black or covered with aluminum foil. That seems to be the preference out here.
