her is my problem, last may i had a friend that needed a place to stay, i had a extra room so i offered it to him.$150 a month. he knew i grow, which wasnt a big deal, he took it upon himself to upgrade my grow room,he bought three 600 watt lights. ac unit,dehumidifier, and a t5 8bulb light, yet he never paid me any rent , figure he spent about $1200-1500, i want my house and grow back, i feel that what he spent on the room is about what he owes me in rent, know i think he is taking more than his share of product, i just dont want him decide to rat me out when i tell him the news,aNY SUGGESTIONS, or opinions:wall::wall::wall:

if you really think that's a risk, you need to re-evaluate your quality of friendship. (not that that helps now, sorry.)

was sharing the product part of the original agreement, or something that started happening because he took it upon himself to 'improve' your room?

the best advice i have is to talk to him about it, but DON'T let it turn into a heated argument. write down your points beforehand if you need to. do some math whether the extra product you get because of the upgrades nets >$150/m worth; maybe point out (nicely) that while you appreciate the upgrades, $150/month rent is a bit different from no rent plus having to share your product.

Burn the whole place down.....




Or just tell him he has to go, take what he bought, and whatever product he thinks is fair. Move to a different place and never let him in that place. Deny any future involvment in growing. Never fall into this situation again. Resolve that your friendship will never be the same. Good Luck.

Honestly. It is a liability, What if this friend gets in trouble and leads the police to your house? What if they let someone who doesn't know about YOUR grow into the house and show them? I would take down or move the grow, give the friend their shit back and kick them out.
Never a good idea to let someone in on your grow. First and foremost your freedom and safety are what is important.

I mean his your friend is he the type to rat you out or is he a guy who will get mad but forget about it. Maybe y'all can work somethen out to where he can comeup with 150 dollar where I'm from that a half o of some good. I don't know what u produce but if you got 3 600 watt light unless I read wrong you should b able to give him a half o if he is already taking more than his share already make him turn itinto a profit and pay u back I mean you do claim y'all r friends ....talk it out.. front him some and get your profit then your using him his using you....... business

You must be pretty good friends to have let him move in and move in on your grow. $150/mo isn't much. If he's blowing out your grow, he's most likely doing better than $150/mo. As friends, talk it out. If he's not the kind of friend that you can have that conversation, he's not the kind of friend that should have ever been brought in to that situation. Explain it like your grow was your harem and he moved in on your ladies. Or tell him you want to run your grow differently, let him have his own set up, and make sure he pays rent for the room, and grow.

he is the kind of person that thinks his way is the best, and yes he has brought way to many people into my circle (was sharing the product part of the original agreement, or something that started happening because he took it upon himself to 'improve' your room? )no it started after the improvements, also ive never seen a dime in rent from him.so that's why i think he owes me everything he has invested in it. moving him into my house was suppose to make it financially easier on me, but it hasn't, its made it easier on him,($1100 deer hunting trip, $1500 into his truck and now he is gone on a ice fishing trip$400 for a week, yet i cant afford to any of them things). thanks for all the replys and advise and for listening to me vent

Where is he going ice fishing, I might know some people that can make him disappear depending on where he's at lol.

But no for real like everyone else said just talk with him and sit down and figure out if he does ow you money. Put it on paper and sit down with him and show him. He evidentally understands $ as he's spent enough of it. If he wants to get pissed and snitch you out he is just as much at fault as you are. He's growing the same plant we all grow. Hell we are all doing something illegal on a federal level.

All good intentions aside it sounds to me like your friend is an egostical asshole or a control freak, maybe both {that's assuming you're telling the truth}. He moves in on the basis of not having the ability to find his own place, yet splashes out a couple grand on a hunting trip and then proceeds to mess with your grow.
I don't want to be rude because you sound geniune enough but you need to grow some balls and tell him what's what. We can sit here and give all the advice you'd like but it won't account for a hill of beans if you're not able to follow through with anything we might suggest.

Better keep an eye on your g/f if I were you.

And as for your grow, split the difference and chalk it up to experience....just my 2 cents

P.S if your screen name has anything to do with your personality, it's best not to talk with him when loaded for bear

Tell him an inspector/landlord is coming in a few months(or some kind of fib to have to shut down for a bit). Finish out your current grow, hide a few clones away, then let him know the score. Do the math on what you feel he owes you and what you have gotten out of him. If you feel it could turn deceitful, box everything grow related that you feel is incriminating or can't hide and give it to him as a parting gift. Take a loss if you have to, but don't be held prisoner in your own house.

Better yet, your name says "caretaker", so one would assume you have your card. If so, get legal, then get to negotiating.
