The growers also don't want people to know what they are growing because some
of them would want to steal their crops. An identifiable noise signature is
a dead giveaway.

Subject: Re: [RFI] Grow-light..
If it were me, I would do what I could without trespassing to be
really sure it is their house. If you do suspect grow lights are the
cause of the noise, I'd see what others do to curtail grow light RFI
and if you know your neighbor, let them know you are getting RFI from
them and that it is like fluorescent or bright lights make and give
them the information you found. You might tell them you don't know
for sure its from their house but that if it doesn't go away you'll
have to ask the FCC to come to the neighborhood & locate where it is
coming from.
I'd never mention grow lights to them, no need to make them think of
you if they otherwise get busted & want to get even. Keep it strictly
on topic of RFI from their house
Nowadays many of the growers are using fluorescent lights of the
proper spectrum for growing "veggies" & High pressure Sodium lights
aren't used as much as they were a few years ago. Regardless of what
they're using, if you give them something they can buy to plug any
kind of leak & they think the FCC actually would do something (like
come to their house to investigate), they'll do whats needed to keep
things under the table & you'll get the RFI removed stat.
YMMV
