Thanks Cheetah.
Unfortunately I have decided to take my grow area down for a while. Its a long story but I'll try to give you the short version.
We have room mates. My ol ladie's mother happens to be one of em. When she went to Georgia, she met this dude and he became her boyfriend. She brought him back to Florida and he moved in. He is a raging alcoholic. He goes to the bar as often as possible and comes back disgustingly drunk and belligerent. My ol ladie's mom wants nothing more to do with him. She has threatened to call the cops on him and his response was that if she called the cops, he would tell them about my plants.
I want this scumbag out. I almost had to beat the shit out of him a few times (including last night). Our 5 yr old son doesn't need to be around his drunken bullshit... and neither do any of us who live here for that matter. Its time to get rid of him... and we can't really do that with these plants here because he will use them against us. So, I'm chopping them down and taking everything down for a while.
This way, he has nothing to blackmale us with and we can give him the boot when he gets his monthly check in a few weeks. If he doesn't leave willingly, we will have him removed by the police. Once he is out of the picture, I will start growing again.
