holy poop!

just the highlights please

This is how they grow it in Tennessee . This grow was underneath a

house in a cave. The entrance was through a secret hydraulic door in the

garage that led to a concrete ramp that went about 50 yards into the

ground. Inside the cave was living quarters and a secret escape hatch that

led you through a tunnel that exited via another hydraulic door that

opened up a rock on the outside. It was very elaborate. The set up

allowed them to harvest every 60 days which resulted in multi-million

dollar sales. One of the guys busted was living in a house on the water

in FL and had a nice yacht.

One of the agents here in Nashville worked on this for 5 years

before the warrant was finally served in December."

NewsChannel 5 Exclusive: Pictures Reveal Inside of Drug Cave

What police found inside this Trousdale County cave led to the biggest pot bust in Middle Tennessee history. Now, pictures are showing details of the sophisticated set up.



















From the outside, the house looks like a beautiful vacation home, but investigators say it was just a prop and what it concealed is right out the movies.



More than 1,000 marijuana plants were grown deep underground.



The house was built on top of the natural cave, but investigators say no one lived there. It wasn't even furnished. But inside the house there is a secret passageway into the cave.



The interior of the house is just on the other side of the door. A corridor leads from the hidden doorway into the cave. The corridor has cinderblock walls and a concrete ceiling and floor.



The 40 foot long sloping corridor leads into the cave that stretches 250 feet. There are offices, living quarters, and a growing area.



The office space comes first, then a living area furnished with three or four colorful bunk beds for camping out in the cave, and a restroom with a shower and plenty of toiletries. Behind the restroom is a kitchen with a fully stocked pantry, air conditioning and microwave. All the comforts of home, only this cave was all business.



A starter room houses 500 to 600 small marijuana plants. Each just about six to 12 inches tall.



The next area has plants nearly ready to harvest. 500 to 600 plants as tall as six feet. Each had its own irrigation system. The lights and climate control kept the air at the perfect temperature: 87 degrees.



Just behind the growing area is the work space with all the equipment to keep the operation running. And in case the growers had to make a run for it, they built an escape route. It’s 150 yards from the cave to the surface.



A hydraulic jack lifts a trap door, which is hidden with a boulder. The escape hatch lets out just a few steps away from the home where anyone driving by would have no idea what lies beneath.



Three men are charged with growing marijuana in that cave. None of them actually lives in Middle Tennessee, and investigators don't think the drugs were sold in Trousdale County. Investigators say the men were growing enough marijuana to make $6 million to $8 million a year.

Holy batshit, boywonder!



We should have sold doobies instead of wearing tights and fighting crime!

You know, i bet the power company audits for **** like that. Their power bill must have been waaaay above average. Enough for it to hit the fed's radar. You think?

nah, whats his name grew in oakland (where theres a legal amount of plants per person you can grow) and when he harvested, his power dropped and he got a big credit from the power company.



the suspicion is that theres nobody living in the house, why does it need power if nobody is home?

thats why having certain types of businesses for hiding that will work.. things like dry cleaners for instance. . all though on a much smaller scale..

Radiant Barrier insulation is your friend.



Can you say FOIL/BUBBLE/FOIL?



I knew you could





oh damn someone stole mah sneekers!

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble?

Damn I bet that was some good stuff. I'd love to hear more details on how they got cought

So you dont get caught?

well of course the important detail is that the cops found out....

come on. with a set up like that i'm sure they had there own generators. they couldn't be that stupid with the power. with all the other stuff that is.

i would have had someone living in the house, make it look normal like

i would have set the people up in the house to make it to where they get caught instead of me.
