(for instance, where's your ex been through all this?):(
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.
People came in and comment on how they wish they had my grow. Well thats a wish that turned into a nightmare. All iv done all summer is wait for the FBI, CIA, IRS, ATF, FBA, FDA an ARMED FORCES and so on to show up. Not to mention thieves! 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:

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.
i hear ya loud and clear rusty. that too, is why i trust no one.....until (if) they ever earn it. people are shit. we are the most basic creatures when it boils down to it. everything we do is derived from the same basic ideas. that is our routine. that is our safe-net. so when in doubt, people always fall back to thinking along those same basic guidelines. and we think we are so complicated. lol.
yo LSY, hit me up!

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:

Its not like im snuggled up in a corner crying like a baby, because i was ripped. And there are plenty of other shit that could mess my life up easy. Plus as far as rule #1, under my situation there are people that i need to tell, there are tasks that i just can not do, so the help was needed. 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:

Well i had no clue the guy helping would screw me. I treated him good, but i guess his greed was more so then his morals. But iv been getting nice nugs every few days so not all id lost. I am going to work from inside from now on. Maybe put out 1 re vegged plant next year, but thats it.
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:
Thanks man:rasta:

Well so im taking medium size buds as they are finishing up. It sucks cuz they got way more of the Enda then i thought. I haven't been able to fill a jar yet with it. 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
