Even though LE has been practically hiding everything from the public, including the pot, it still seems for them, the large grow-op would have been more believable if we had seen something.
Somebody posted awhile back there was a large grow-op bust in the area, and when the whole story came out, there was a total of 18 plants. That leads me to believe the three grow sites probably had around 20 each. Definitely too many to grow in the window, but not nearly enough to be considered large scale.
My parents have always lived in town and had a garden. Every other day Mother was bringing me at least 4 gallon zip lock bags full of snapped green beans, and more cucumbers than the three of us could eat. We gave away quite a bit, ate quite a bit, I canned 16 pints. Daddy said he could have given away a pickup load of cucumbers, and still would have too many to eat. And this all came from a medium size garden in the backyard. If it was a particularly good harvest, LE would think large grow-op just standing back looking at the largest, and trying to imagine having three grow-ops in one location, they automatically envisioned large...Plus, I think they tend to stretch the truth, so they can imagine a majority of the town giving them a pat on the back for a job well done!
