I've been increasingly bothered recently by a mate who wants clones every 2 months. It's not a huge order but I hate taking them on the bus. There was a day that I'd just jump on my bike and go with them but not anymore as its too risky. I'd rather get caught with a few oz than clones.

Logistically I don't have the space as he wants them vegged up as much as possible. (Am I selling rooted clones or veg plants?) Tonight he tried to give me an order for 6 weeks time!! I don't want them laying around for 6 bloody weeks. He tries to get out of collecting them because he is S.Amercian and doesn't have papers to be here. He already got deported from London years ago! Not my problem though is it?

I've told him that I've just cut those mums (his pheno choice) and I need them all for me as I've have too many lights running continually. This is true though.

In a way I feel ungrateful for refusing the work but it's only 25 clones which I will receive numerous messages about over the coming weeks, so to me it's not worth the stress.

He wants advice all the God damn time and doesn't ever listen. Eg. I drop the clones on Sunday and tell him to transplant straight away and he goes out skateboarding (age 36) instead. I'll get a message a few days later saying they don't look too good?? To which I reply 'my work ended when I dropped them off, I can't help you if you don't listen'.
I just don't want an apprentice. Had he been one I'd have sacked him on a few occasions.

So, I feel like a bitch but I think I should just concentrate on my own show.

Your business is not you but the profession you engage in. Make the decisions that will make objective sense for the best interest of your business and try not to have dual relationships. It muddies the waters a lot and makes for this type of painful dilemma.

I'd fire him and remain his friend if he is capable of it. I'd just tell him you can't supply him anymore. Offer no reason, none and then let it go at that. If he presses just repeat you were so happy for the time you could but no more :)

I forgot to mention that when I arrive to drop them off, he hasn't got the money-ever!!! However I am aware of this beforehand, otherwise I'd go mad!

So I have to see him twice to do the same job, which to me is working inefficiently. He doesn't exactly offer to come up to mine and if he did, he would learn quite a lot. Too little money and too much stress huh?

I'm realizing as Im writing that in actual fact I've been doing him a favour AND all the ground work.

Nothing wrong with helping people out, but when it's business things need to be a bit tighter.

If you feel like it's becoming work

It's annoying because he is actually a good grower and could be great but he does stupid things. Like growing a 65 day plant (because he wants to copy my blue rhino), and then leaving huge 12" colas drying on the stick in a cupboard with no air. By the time I arrive they are suffocating and sweating in a supermarket plastic bag in his wardrobe! Lol! He ruined his harvest due to bad drying and curing! It didn't smell like anything other than wet tea bags! Lol.

^^^ then he is NOT a good grower
That's what I said to him. 'You thought your job was over at harvest point, you haven't done any work drying and curing'.

Not long ago he asked me how to grow the buds heavier and I told him I used Atami blossom builder which is a bio PK 20/32. My friends shop has it for only €5 in a small bottle. What does he do? He goes to another hydro shop which didn't have it, so he didn't buy anything because the other PK's were too expensive and went without! Why do I bother? Lol
