How did you do in 2011?

[Roflicer]

I did absolutely awful, had an awesome perpetual grow built and dialed in perfect. The best description i can give is picture heaths flooded tube vertical twice as high then multiply by three, with the necessary clone and mother setup to feed that setup. Co2, humidity and climate controls. I had perfected the process all the way to cure. Then i got busted! Now all i can do is work as many hours as i can at a local job and pay myself out of this whole i'm in. On a good note i am not in jail, and the county charges i got should have been federal so i feel very fortunate for that.

How did you get busted, how did the legal process go, how good of a lawyer did you get, what was the punishment?

I am not exactly sure, but I think a narq. I was nearly perfect in security, I said nearly. It is really hard to have any kind of life and have no person suspect that your up to something. I never sold, I grew and burned. I didn't smoke, except to perform quality checks and to understand the effects of different strains. If i had any pain I would have, but my normal contract work drug tests the crap out of me. I hope to move someday to a legal state, but that is a long way down the road. So for now no growing for me, the growing alone is an addiction unto its self. In the end I came close to losing everything, but managed to keep my property and an option to buy my vehicle back. I got a 3 year deferred sentence in a state that treats growing worse than murder for nearly 300 plants (I have an expensive but outstanding lawyer!, best money I have ever spent.)

You were risking a stupidly huge prison sentence and didnt even sell? What exactly does someone do with 300 fucking plants?

I got my medical script in September, bought a grow setup in October, and just harvested this week enough to return my investment 200%. Unfortunately however, I only have $200 in the bank to get me through the end of the year..

It's been a fucking crazy year! I started my current job last year in November. I just got the call from my boss wants me to be a supervisor at a new location.
My mom got layer off from her job of 30 + years. They got rid of her to hire a few younger people and pay them half as much. Yay America! Parents had to go into bankruptcy to keep the house they raised me and my brother in. I had to put down two cats, and one of the two dogs. Times are tough but as humans, we are designed to pull through and persevere when times are tough.
keep your heads up RIU! And merry Christmas, happy chanukah, and Festivus for the rest of us!!!

You perfect the processes with 300 plants.

You perfect the processes with 300 plants.

my processes are not perfect, but i get by on less than 300 plants.

I'm glad you get by.

I am ready for the New Year

My last year was just O.K.

At the end of the summer I bought a bunch of Fem Seeds 99.9% - thought I was cruzin

Giant Plants - Flipped them 8 out of 10 males - wasted 2 months.

But I kept my Pre-92 Bubba mother, got the White Widow going...

Should be a good year - doing a perpetual grow

What seedbank did the bad femmed seeds come from?

What seedbank did the bad femmed seeds come from?

They came from Sancuary Seeds - Humbolt, CA - sold through a local club.

I now know that they are peddling phony and garbage seeds

"
I noticed this on another site from you guys/girls? about a Fraud Alert??
Fraud Alerts
Stoney Girl Gardens does not advertise on Craig’s List or other similar sites. Recently we have seen our web site copied and ads placed on Craig’s list by cons and others who wish to take advantage of patients. If you see any such ads please contact us at the Fraud Alert Hotline below. We will immediately shut these type of cons down.
Here is one to watch out for. Mitch and his helpers (currently going by Father Max) has been run out of Oregon and Seattle Washington for selling thousands of dollars in phony Stoney Girl Gardens Seeds. He is now operating out of Humboldt and again peddling garbage and phony seeds. We are now working to stop him however we are already getting many complaints from those who bought his stuff. Beware and be aware that these people have none of our genetics. We apologize for the many victims who bought Pit or any other seeds from him and his crew. Again we are working on stopping this guy and there are many others like him. Here is the business he has now:

Just wanted to know if it was true as I have seen people trying to peddle their seeds and nutrients. Thanks! Also are your seeds available to CA"

Let's see, 2011 was a pretty good year. Managed to keep my job despite tons of layoffs all around me, Kids are doing great, girl is about to graduate high school and son's whooping ass on the b-ball team. Wife is happy, dogs are well fed, and I have 12 beautiful girls popping up in my secret garden. All in all, a pretty good year! Hope 2012 is a kick ass year for all of us. It had better be, since it's the last!!

I don't think I understand. If you never sold or smoked it, how was a narc even involved? And why spend so much time and money to grow 300 plants if they're just getting trashed? It's like working a full time job but refusing the paycheck. I must be missing something, here.

Anyways, my 2011 was OK. Continued the op I set up last year but slacked off a lot due to stress from my job so it became a pretty inefficient set up. Lots of empty spots in the flower room. Probably pulled 8-10lbs all year (don't have the numbers with me). I've found new motivation, though, and am moving to a bigger, nicer place where I can set up the grow of my dreams.

For me, 2011 was the year of the routine.
2012 is the year of ambition.

How long does it take to go from never growing anything before in your life to having a completely self sustaining hydroponic grow operation? I had just perfected the processes from clone to cure, burning everything along the way so as to not get busted. The end goal was to grow medicinal quality in an illegal state and then have it moved to a legal dispensary.
