Well i talked about taking the bigger stuff and then let the smaller buds get bigger. So i went out 2 days ago and took half of plant 1 WW i think as its looked like it wasn't coming back from me running up the stem. I also took a really nice bud from the cross.Quote:

Well a person came in and said, ''so ya took the Edna tops''. My face felt white as i said NO.:wtf:. They said that the yellow was gone? So i went out and i was ripped off again:wtf:. They took most of the Edna and all the tops from the Skunk x NL, but one. I just couldn't believe it, i sorta thought they might not come back, but that was dumb for me to think. I had said i had a camera out there in case someone was fallowing the log, but didn't. But i have one il be putting out as soon as i can find someone i trust enough to put it up in a good spot.
I fucking cant believe this shit, i had told the few people about my grow how important it was for me to exist after the ex is gone. So im putting in some applications at a few apartments for now. But will see what happens. I took most of what was there, but there is a lot of buds still there, some popcorn size and then a few bigger ones. I really hope they dont come back. And if the smaller buds get bigger, i could still pull it off. Just really sucks man. If i could get enough to pick up a 400hps i could get one off before id have to move, but not with CFL's, no way.
I am going to get more of the bigger ones today, because i just dont trust the bastards. Its someone who knows me for sure Hemp and i told them how important this one grow is for my life here, but no conscious i guess. I would never steal from someone, let alone think of doing something like this to a person that treated me good. Hell i gave em free smoke all the time and deals so he could have smoke without buying from a punk ass dealer. He sure burned this bridge. I will try to get pics, but like i said the camera is in bad shape and hard to snap the damn thing, but il try and show you what it looks like 3 days after the last pics. I feel sick and feel like just cutting it all down. I worked my ass off and not to mention the stress of having this big ass grow. I never meant for it to get this big and would not advise it to anyone. My summer sucked after getting ripped and being so paranoid, il never grow out again. This was my last outdoor for sure. But i still need to get that 400, i just hope i can get some of the dime size buds to at least big enough to add up to something.
:i feel stupid: i just grew out a good crop for someone else, without even a thank you, thats whack:wtf:
:angry3:
:rasta:
sorry to hear about your run of bad luck. that totally sucks bro. shoot me an email when you can, i might be able to help you out.

Was keeping my fingers crossed for ya. Bummer. No matter what the circumstances, losing a crop or two back-to-back can be devastating. Tiz one of the major reasons I distrust people until they've earned that trust. Speaking of which, of those you told...which are the least trustworthy, or don't give a shit about your condition? (for instance, where's your ex been through all this?)
:(
Thanks Shake, i have some shit to do, but will shoot an email around 3-4 my time. I think there is a 2 or 3 hour difference in time so you will get the email before i write it, sounds odd:wtf:. I think i should try and get more before they come back, plus im mad, which means im out to hurt someone and yeah il pick a fight if i gotta to keep them the hell away from here. Lazy ass bastards cant do for themselves, loser fucks, damn im pissed.Quote:

put this in a tree nearby and figure out who your dealing with.
It will also tell you what time they are coming, and if they are coming alone.
I know its 140 bucks but it almost seems worth it in your case. The thieves just wont leave you alont.
Yeah Hemp it really sucks, i feel like im growing for someone else. And the really bad thing is, i went out that day to take what i could just in case they came back. So i took half a plant and one nice bud and in the back of head im thinking, let em go at least one more week. Its just that they would have got bigger and more mature so i changed my mind and let em go in hopes to let them go one more week. I guess thats where i made my mistake. And you know they are thinking ''whats he going to do?'' And this is whats getting to me the most.Quote:

I know who it is. I needed help and laid out a plan that would give them free shit and cash to help with a few things i just cant do. Now most shit i can figure out, but physically some shit is just impossible so i needed a helper. But i got played man and atm there isn't a damn thing i can do. Its not like i posted a sign in my front yard saying ''come get it''. Plus in my situation i need to tell some people, thats just how its gotta be, but these people depend on me so they would never risk this sorta thing. I know the first rule and i preach it, but in some cases its better to tell before they just figure it out.
And man i know who did it, but theres not a damn thing i can do, at least right now. In a year or so i can:D but not holding all this shit, yeah know.

But i have a camera rigged up with a trip string ready to go in, but the damn choppers have been to bad to get out there. They just found a big Mexican grow here in my state. With the bad times we are having, people are growing to just get by. No jobs so people are doing some crazy ass shit man. I am waiting to get someone i trust to put the camera in, which will work, i just need to put it in a place they will not see. But one flash with one pic gives me a pic of them and should spook them away.
Thanks everyone, its something ya have to deal with while growing outside. But in this case getting ripped by the person you feed is fucked up. All i can say is, there lucky i use a chair. But probably wouldn't have happen if i didn't.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions, you people are the only ones i can vent to, sucks man:rasta:
Well the ex was my very first one to check out, but i give it to her just so she will leave my shit alone, so no not her. I know who it is as the person helping me with some stuff i just cant do played me. But cant do anything till iv cleaned up everything in and out. Then il get me one of my friends to hurt him. Its sad, im not that sorta person, but under the circumstances some punishment needs handed down. Hell i was giving him free shit, there was no reason for him to get greedy like this. And the 2nd time is just plain out cruel. But he was refereed to me by someone i do trust and needs me. I needed the help as this thing got out of hand, way bigger then i ever thought.Quote:

I would never let a grow get this big again and if ya think you can handle it, i would advise no one to do it. Last year was great with my small plants, but i started this year with 9. I flowered 2 inside which left 7 that turned into giant monsters. If i ever put anything out again, it would be only one perfectly selected re vegged plant and thats it. I could pull 2lb's easy with the right care, but with 7 im afraid to even visit the area. Thats why just one would be enough. Hell my summer was wasted, all i did was feel paranoid and grow a good crop for someone else.
Thanks for stopping by Rusty, iv learned from it for sure:thumbsup:
:rasta:
First and foremost safe, then when in the clear have your friends do the dirty deed for you. Anybody that would knowingly rip a handicapped person is low, low, low scum. Regardless of how tight money is or how bad someones situation is, no excuse in the world for this if they knew you.
almost as bad is someone who would rip-off a person that they call friend! this is like betraying family in my book. the way i look at it is that i have family and acquaintances. if you shake my hand that means that we are on the same page and that shit is understood. if you knowingly betray that, well it's game over. i would chew my left arm off if it was harming me and never think twice about it.Quote:

Very well said.. humans can eb so damn primitive sometimes.. You think people are your friend or at least cool enough with you that they wouldn't take from you but it's all an illusion. People out here will turn on you in a split second to 'get ahead' themselves. I've seen it done and it's happened to me. In recent years Ive learned to become my own best friend because 'trust' doesn't get things done nowadays. In some cases you have to trust somebody but it really has to be earned. I've learned to read peoples characters better as a result of what Ive gone thru.. but sorry to hear about your whole situation LetSeeYa.. be happy with what you did get out of the grow because it could've been worse. I hope you get through what you're going through right now. Money is tight for everyone nowdays. Oh yea.. GO INDOORS and come Spring youll be a happy man:rastasmoke:Quote:

I didn't put up a sign with an arrow pointing to the grow. Last year i had a friend put them into the ground for me and they wanted to know ''what do i get'' before they had a chance to grow out of the weeds. So i dug every hole, which took 2hours per hole, 9 holes. I think i deserve to bitch a little, i worked hard this year. So middieman440 try it like i do it for a summer, get ripped off and then just say ''oh well'. Come on man im dealing with it, i only was sharing the experience with people who follow my thread. You go back and look at my pics before i was ripped and then see what they look like now. You know you would be pissed and for someone to tell you to just ''get over it'' either you have never had your plants rapped, or you took em, lol. The world isn't going to end because of it, no but other factors come into play with this particular grow, have you read any of the previous posts or just the post where i told everyone? There are circumstances that were attached here so more then just some weed bro, just letting ya know shit ya might have missed. But im not seeing a shrink or anything, im sure il ''get over it'', but still get to be pissed a bit dont ya think?
I know i said id get even and ''get my evil on him''-Pulp Fiction, great flick. But il let Karma get him. In the end it always will:thumbsup:IMO
Got a few more buds the other day, but man its getting cold so lets hope the frost doesnt come to soon and il get one more batch. I will try and get a few pic's soon for you all to see whats still there.
Peace my friends:rasta:
Aloha LSY
Rip offs suck. Sorry that had to happen to you. But that is the way this game works somehow.
I could tell you about seasons where I lost 90% to the rippers. Shit happens.
You took a chance. It didn't work out. You never counted your chickens before they hatch. Unfortunatly after the first rip, it was all downhill. Rips always come back....always.
But Dude, You never tell anybody when you will harvest. And if you do, take them a week earlier than you told anyone you would. That was your mistake. Write it off as a learning experience....a very expensive learning experience.
Sorry again.
OH
letseeya sorry to here about what happened man. i remember you posting up a few times on my first grow long back during winter.
Sad to here that you had to finish the year like this. I guess thats the risk we take when we put them outside in a public place.
Just like you i have plants outside near a park, but i spent my time to dig into bushes and cut out a patch. I think it would have been smarter to find multiply spots for the both of us because i know if one of my plants is spotted they all are.
Outdoor growing is fun an a rush for me because its free and right infront the peoples faces it just makes me :D.
Your fear about the cops, dea, etc etc etc. has been runnin in my blood for the past 3 months just like you. i couldnt imagine the kind of situation id be in.
theres always next year man. keep it up:rastasmoke:

Thanks for stopping in bro:thumbsup:
Well man im going to grow in now. I only have one spot and its been found so it will be a couple years before id try anything out there again. Hell i would be asking to get ripped then. Im up to 4 filled jars so far though and i hoping for maybe 4 more and call it a year:thumbsup:Quote:

I did get a bunch of the Skunk x NL which is really good shit, ya just need to keep moving or you will be in the twilight zone fast. The WW is great smoke as iv never had it before. I put a NL clone under proper light on 9 30 and i will start re vegging the Wit plant. Hell it gave me 2 oz's, il try for 3 re vegging it:thumbsup:. Plus i have some seeds i was gifted and im really anxious to get a couple gemmed. Its Purple!:dance:
Anyway my harvest is looking ok for getting ripped twice and would have had a bunch more, but just feeling lucky i had the re vegged plants out there. If they had been plants with all only a single trunk, they might have taken all the plants. But growing like bushes, they would be out there 2 days to take it all. I still have a couple more times i can harvest, but its getting cold so i need as much sun i can get for the last of it to finish up. Im really tiered of trimming thats for sure, iv done all of it. I need oldhaole's girls for just a day and id be good, lol.
All and all, i did good i gotta say and my paranoia has been better lately. But i would not advise anyone to grow as much as i did so close. Your just asking for it to be spotted. I had a copper fly right over them 3 times, but i live close to an airport. Two ways to look at this as they just took off so not really looking after just getting up in the air and not in ''spotting mode'' or heading to a particular spot on their grid. Or the more times they go over, the more chances of them being spotted? I think its best to put plants in or around other trees or brush. Also a line of fence with trees growing along side of it gives you the chance to put them in under the trees, but will get that 1;00 to sunset sun shine is the best to hide from the air IMO. But for thieves i was thinking about putting a couple plants in burlap sak's, but then use twine to tie to the sak and pull them up into a tree and then just hide the string. You would need to water a lot but im thinking it could be done. And il be looking for a couple saks to give it a try maybe next year.
Just thought id let everyone know that not all was lost. And iv gotten a good yield so far with small buds still growing. So at the end il do ok, i need whats out there to grow for me, but im thinking they will.;). I know iv said it before but il try to get some harvest pic's up asap. I will be starting a thread for the indoor too if ya want to stop in would be kewl. Il be happy when this grow is finished, its been just to stressful, but im smilin:)now.
Peace my friends:rasta:
Glad it wasn't a total loss. This year I too came to the same conclusion as you. Ripping off a regrow is a a bitch. Hauling those bastards in is WORK. Getting it done with my dogs on property ain't going to happen.
Feels good to get them out of there huh?
Don't think my trimmers would be interested in a road trip. Twenty years ago they would. And they would have rocked your world. :D
Ahhh good times. Harvest in, job done, time to switch gears and dream of the next round.
Relax. You earned everything you made....and then some.
Congrats
OH
Thanks my friend:thumbsup:and yeah it feels good every time i get a batch and watching as they, the plants getting smaller. I think some people just really dont know just how big the re vegged plants can be. Heck 2 or 3 could get ya through winter in less ya gotta share to much. I saw mine, but cant imagine yours man, there were a few you had that were huge, not counting the big one that gave ya trouble all year.Quote:

But after a few months rehab, i came home to his big ass harvest, which i had a friend roll a bunch to take back to the Hospital. Lets just say i was pretty popular come Monday, lol. The Nurses and Aids would even help our crippled ass's light it up and hook it to the stats to even hold on to it. Thing is it was a great social therapy not recognized. Anyway to bad your timers dont travel, it takes four hours for me to fill a jar, not that im bitchin or anything, but the company would be nice, lol.
Time to do the indoor thing, i am able to get closer:thumbsup:. Its like growing in slow motion, fast, lol. I thinkit helps me understand and get to know the plant we luv.
Peace bro:rasta:
Wow....is about all I can say
Sorry to hear this shit after all this....Sorry
Well it can happen to anyone and iv noticed on the boards a few people got ripped too. I am just feeling lucky i was able to get something from it, they could have waited till they were finished and taken them, night before me:mad:. I guess im thinking positive here, i did get some and thats better then nothing. If i were the thief, i would have waited, but i think they were just hard up for smoke, kids.Quote:

You have a great Tude about it. Id be foaming at the mouth. Outdoor is just a pain as thats all I worried about. I guess I got lucky or my family and friends realy do care cause it would have been realy easy for them to jack me.
you said it yourself..."Thats Whack"
Best of luck on your indoor:thumbsup:
Ditto here....so glad that you were able to save some of your harvest and even reveg your plants....that's great, man!
It sure seems like indoor is the way to go especially for people who live in suburban areas or dense communities....it's just so durned expensive! All those lights and then you have to either put them on a timer for the 12/12 or be very vigilant...then also the ventilation....my son blacked out a window from the grow room leading outside and built a carbon filter with an exhaust fan sticking into the room in a black box...sounds very complicated but he knew what he was doing. Have to have ventilation and he didn't want to stink up the neighborhood...he lives in San Francisco so possibly it might even be legal soon but he invested alot of money setting up his grow room and wanted to do it right.
Hope you can relax now and enjoy!

As far as smell, if your grow area is in the middle of your house smell can be an issue, but mine isn't. And its not all that difficult to grow inside, you should try a couple, i think you would dig it. You can make a light for less then 20 bucks that will grow out 1 nice plant. So add to that and you can grow at least 4 that should give you at least 2oz's a plant.
As far as light cycles you only need to veg at 18 on and 6 off for 3-4 weeks, then 12 on and 12 off to bud them up. The main thing is not to let light into the plant when they are in their dark period or it could hermi the plant. Other then that, its pretty easy. Or i should say its as easy as you make it. Check out my 09 indoor grow in my Sig, i used pre ferted soil and made it really easy as all i had to do was water and raise the lights as they grew.

Dude, gotta give ya props. Ripped twice, and still smiling.
You da Man!
I must have, I know what its like to get burned. Last year, I showed up at my grow and all their was was little stems sticking up from the ground, a couple of single edged razor blades and some cheap rubber gloves. Its a feeling no one should have to feel. Kind of deflates a person. Different this year. Keep your ears open, bandits like to talk and its probably someone you know. :twocents:Quote:

So im not going to bitch too much, plus this stuff is done, they got stuff that needed a couple months or close to it. And the fifty cent piece size buds are really adding up:)Quote:

And i know who it is, but il let Karma take care of him:mad:, he was my partner, so i guess it might be some of my fault. Just couldn't find someone close i could trust, this guy was referred to me by someone i do trust. They feel bad and has cut him off as they were related.
Thanks for stopping in and il do what i can to get a few pics of the harvest.

My earlier problems have resolved themselves fairly well... adjourned without conviction, no fines, no court costs, no drug diversion courses, no community service... no mandatory anything at all... so long as I don't come before the court in the next couple of years, charges will be formally dismissed and all records of the adventure expunged... coppers wont even be able to keep my finger prints or photograph.
We may not have medical provisions in law (yet), but our magistrates and higher court judges have the freedom to think for themselves and interpret the law in spirit, rather than just apply the letter of the law as written. And for that I am trully grateful.
I wont be gardening for awhile myself, this would have been my 30th spring since planting my first seeds... but I'll be keeping veggie gardens going and my little job with Sensi, so I'll pop in from time to time to see how the can.com crew are fairing and for a looksee, of course, at what is happening on the US cannabis scene.
All the best mate, for future grows and future health... sara x
Great news Sara, i have been thinking about you and what the powers that be would do. So im glad they do have the power to let ya off. I had a crazy outdoor grow this year as you have read, but got something at least. So not everything was taken and im stepping up the indoor to make it easier and also will not get ripped.Quote:
