Oh the suspense! He will be calling at 3:30pm today and I promise you guys I'll have an answer for you. Now since there is time to kill, let's get a count for whomever thinks this was a legit bust or a robbery.

Meh what are they gonna do? Lock him up until arraignment? Why? They got the plants, no way he is dodging this one, when it comes time he will get whatever punishment he will get. Probably not gonna be a flight risk if he has a wife and kid and his own house and a job and stuff. That's a lot of ties to the community to bail on to escape a grow charge.
If it even was the police...

Ok now for the results! Indeed they were the real deal police! They got his liscene's plate number when he visited a local hydroponic store. Someones said that he was a big time grower and that he just recently bought a shitload of equipment from them(not true). They did not have a warrant and it was a sting operation. Also the hydroponic store's co-owner and a few employees that either been busted or linked to pretty big grow ops. The police are saying if he cooperates with them to bring down the store, they will drop all his charges. What should he do? He doesn't want to help them and would rather find the best lawyer possible. How would he go about doing that? How strict are the marijuana laws in Florida?

The guy only owns a 400w mh and the only thing he bought from the store was a reflector, some technaflora nutes and 2 bags of ocean forest.

Ok so one of our other friends is growing as well(about 9 plants) since one friend just got busted, should he chop his crop down or continue? About 3 weeks from harvest. He has visited the same store but 4 times within the past year but has stopped going since he has been reading that going to that store has led to busts. He was thinking of finishing up and then replacing the crop with his strawberry plants. What do you guys think?
