Do you fear being monitored by posting pictures online????

[Jeffdogg]

All they need you to do is post on the internet saying you grow to bust you. If you give somebody grow tips online and that person you gave tips to got busted and they checked out his internet stuff and they see you gave him tips to help grow those plants, you can be busted too for being an accomplice. Its real I have to sift through all my bookmarks to find it but when I do i'll post it. So any way you see it now your screwed so just enjoy it

I have to think the government has much better things to do than to waste our hard earned and payed tax dollars on than monitoring some petty weed growers. Maybe if we had some major cartels here it might be the case but I think if that were the case the website would be much better protected. They'd have some major discreet, but anonymous donations to fund the site.

BTW I hear in Maricopa county (if I remember correctly it was Maricopa), even a heavy grow like in that picture is pretty much legal because there are sooooo many growers out there that law enforcement can't even begin to catch up. I saw it on MSNBC the other night. Growers weren't even afraid to show their faces and interview. They had full blown outdoor operations and they weren't even concerned about the police finding it. There just weren't going to be any repurcussions.

Sorry, it was Mendocino County and it was on CNBC Special Report and it will air again TONIGHT! (Jan 25 at 10:00 p.m.) Also will air in February Monday 16th at 11:00 P.M. and Monday February 23rd at 9:00 P.M. and 1:00 A.M. all Eastern Time!

not really, giving advice online on plants (even illegal ones) is not illegal. a nitrogen defficiency is a nitrogen defficiency and it shows up the same way in almost all plants.same thing with most all other problems. growing bud isnt any different than anything else. and growing tomatoes indoors isnt much different either. its the reason why there are books published on marijuana horticulture. remember, everyone here is just pretending to grow. read my signature.

Understand first they have to know where to look.. The rule of thumb is keep it under 100 plants.. over a 100 is when dea steps in on a federal level..which fed time is better then state time... so its better to have 50 giants then to have 101 in a sea of green.. If your a big timer don't post!! But if your like me, then your just tripping.. I have 30+ plants but probably won't even pull a pound.. I like to keep them at 2 and half ft tall when indoors.. Best thing is not to post anything for 100% safety like trying to pass a piss test.. the best way is not to use.... Im also one of those which is not scared to post my face.. Its called a being active..lol..
I follow gods rules not man made laws

I think they can tell the difference when someone says "My tomatoes look like they have a nitrogen def., what should I do" and "I think my White Widow has a nitrogen def., what should I do" or "My OG Kush has a nitrogen def." If it involves illegal activity (like growing marijuana illegally) its illegal. I'm not saying they will, its going a bit too far. But they do have that power....

Criminal Charges

What is complicity or accomplice liability?

Complicity, also known as aiding and abetting, is the act of being an accomplice. An accomplice is someone who helps in, or in some states merely encourages, the commission of a crime. Courts sometimes refer to such a person as an aider or an abettor. This person did not commit the crime, but his or her actions helped enable someone else to do so. Examples of complicity include supplying weapons or supplies, acting as a lookout, or driving the getaway car. Other examples are bringing the victim to the scene of the crime or signaling the victim's approach. Accomplice liability means that anyone who helps in the commission of a crime is as guilty as the person who committed the crime and could be punished as severely if convicted.

They can take giving a couple grow tips as "helping" in the illegal cultivation of marijuana.
I was thinking it was in the RICO act, or some treaty still looking..

 

[Kriegs]

Nahhh... I really don't worry about these things. Telling one, and only one person that you grow (IN person, that is) should worry you a helluva more than posting anything here. If there's anything I've learned in life, it's that the meaning of "friend" is highly fungible and situational.

Personally, I don't post pics here because I'd have to use my employer-provided camera, download them with my employer-provided software and computer on employer-provided time. That goes just a bit too far for me..

its not illegal to give the advice as long as you make it clear that any help you are giving is purely for public knowledge. such as if someone asked me how they could produce more resin on plants before harvesting, and i said decrease the humidity and the plants will naturally produce more resin to reflect uv rays (because your tricking them). all information i give is soley public knowledge and there is no way i could get convicted since the material is readily availible in almost every bookstore in america.

you just have to make it clear that you dont condone the use or growth of federally controlled or state controlled substances and that any information that you give is purely for educational reasons. which is what i do.

 

[Jeffdogg]

I dont care too much. If they're gonna get ya , they're gonna get ya...

And thats the kinda person I would go for. The ones that have sigs "For entertainment only" or like yours. People that go out of their way to hide things are the guiltiest out of the bunch. And it is illegal to help somebody knowing they are growing an illegal substance (notice what I said there "knowing") Your helping them grow that ILLEGAL crop by helping them/giving advice etc..
Like I said i'm not saying they would, it really is going a bit far. But they do hold that right.

roflamao. NO.

 

[It's 5 o'clock somewhere]

You must think the gov has nothing better to do than bust some small time growers? With everything going on in the world and the limited budget the government is working with they are more focused on busting the meth labs and commercial growers.....

 

[justatoker]

why not? it is, after all, there job.. Alot of ppl have opinions about whether or not leo watches sites like this blah blah.. But honestly,unless you work for leo you really have no clue if they do or not..all we can do is guess.. my guess is that yea they do.. but its also my guess that if they did take the time to bust someome it wouldnt be for 1-2 or w/e plants.. PPL have said that it would take alot of money/manhours etc but actually I disagree.. The feds could simply get your IP and call you local police and let them investigate.. For the price of a long distance phone call I dont think it isnt totally out of the question.. But all that is of course guesses and opinion of my own.

Just act like a politician..... "what? Lying about growing marijuana while on the internet is illegal? Get the fuck outta here, well it was an "honest" mistake, catchya later". If it works for white collar crime..........

Or just say what Bill Gates said in court under oath.
"No I didn't say that, the computer did."

Nice one,

It wasn't me, it was the one armed computer........

 

[xXKUSHDOCTORXx]

i think fuck it like dude said with the buget cuts on recession and shit its probably the best time. I dont know really thats just what i was thinkn. Like with the price of fuel Helicopters would fly less n shit like that i don't know. The way things are goin they might forget about pot and focus on the shit that people die from and get killed over. I've everyone just grew there own there would be no dealer and that would eliminate alot of problems i dn't know i jus like to hear myself type. I worry more about people cuz i thought i was friend end up rippn me off an we had be doin stuff 4 years i showed him different things like my little apprentice. Oh well its best to jus do shit on ur own. I've had to change alot of things and find a new location and all that shit friends and shit like that are more of a threat i guess. Sorry to waste space this really has little significane but o well i cant speel either

 

[theelite85]

unless your growing alot then dont worry bout it... think about how many grow journals there really are on here ! has anyone heard of a bust from this site?

 

[xXKUSHDOCTORXx]

owww what about all that that went down wit overgrow a few years ago i use to post on there and i kinda got freaked out for a little while but then it was cool i guess and the i found this place last year so i guess its cool anyone remeber overgrow

 

[misshestermoffitt]

If no one sees your grow, it's hard to get a warrant for it. If they try the "knock and talk" don't answer the door. They can't just bust in.

 

[IslandGreenGuy]

i have a set of rules for talking just so i keep my privacy...my privacy.

1. never talk on the phone with exact words.
ex. so you know that thing? how much for that thing?

you can use words that hint

2. never tell anyone that you have anything, always say you know someone who can get it for you.

3. its better to meet in person

4. keep a super sparkely clean record. do everything perfect and legal. pay your parking tickets, keep your registration on your car and insurance up to date. dont give anyone any excuses to give you crap.


but then again i only grow veggies so i dont have to worry about anything.

Sounds like a safe plan. Unfortunity my record is awful. I find that not being the driver of the car works wonders for me. You get harast alot less when you a passenger. Plus, in my state under 1oz is just a $100 ticket, no matter how many times you get caught. Pretty sweet.......
