personally...if you look at the chances...he sounds like a first timer...maybe second...i would trade...you can start over...do an inside grow...for that weed that you trade for...you lessen the chances of being caught...have weed RIGHT THERE...with no obsticles...NO CHANCE of fu.ck ups and guess what...another chance to grow weed...now...what i would do is clone the bitch...maybe one or two times...then trade the guy who is trying to rip you off...he probably isnt a grower himself...so he is going to screw the plant up...just a thought
