As a former grow-op gardener, since retired, I have had a dozen grow rooms in my time, and not one had any trace of mould. The key is to provide proper ventilation, so the air never becomes too humid. Do you suppose everyone with a sauna, or two or more bathrooms has a mould problem? Of course not! The homes are properly designed to eliminate the extra humidity. It's the same with grow rooms. Of course, not everyone will take the time to properly construct these rooms, but if all the rooms you've seen have had mould, then I suggest they've been done by amateurs. This mould nonsense is mostly scare tactics, and unfairly punishes the homeowners, not the crooks. I guess the police are running out of ideas. By the way, my respiratory health is great, but I'm against decriminalization for other reasons. R. Gaskin Toronto (Gee, criminal gangs do shoddy workmanship?
