I can't disagree with your first statement. It is very easy to grow potent weed here. It does take a small bit of local knowlege to do it consistantly. But ,put bluntly, a monkey could do it.

Now compare that with the idea of growing an outdoor plant inside. Then taking that idea further and growing great weed indoors. Figuring what strain goes how long, lights, ferts, timing, and the perprtual grow. That is so much harder than what I do. I go thru the indoor growlogs and some of the stuff and strains are pure genious. Here are people that take it seriously, and are willing to share what they have found out thru experience. Wish the internet existed back when I first started to grow.

So I give you guys credit. You work far harder than me, far smarter than me, Spend way more than me, Nature stacks the deck against you, yet you manage to beat it and produce very impressive smoke. So don't pat me on the back. Pat yourselves (though if you do it too much your arm will get stuck back there).

As for security and such,

Hawaii has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. Just posessing an illegal handgun is an automatic five years. So going that direction is too nuts for me.

I rely on my dogs, and if they can get past the mob they can have it. If the mob catches them,.... well don't expect me to come running while they scream. All my dogs are former pig dogs. That means some grab and some track. All I have to do is get to the fence and throw the dogs over it. So even if you get off my property, the chase is still on.
