How to end operation with partner?

look take your share tell him im thinkin bout tryin somethin new and dont want to talk about it yet...then take what you brought for the plants with your own money say your gonna need it for your new project and buy the rest of the materials with the money you made from your harvest ....hopes this helps

Just finish up your crop with him. try to have him buy you out after this yield. if he doesnt suck it up and move on. lesson learned parnterships with friends always end badly.

remember what the godfather said. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer! you dont want to piss this kid off and have him do something childish down the road.

Good advice. Take your half at harvest, and give him the option to buy your half out. If he rips you off, lesson learned.

i would wait till harvest then do it and as far as the equipmet give him the option to buy you out and start over.

If he's taking the risk of having them, keep growing with him.. I mean how much is it costing you now that your guys have everything, hardly anything I'm sure and do your own thing elsewhere.. That way you have multi crops..

Man you all are talkin to this high schooler like he's on a date and dont want to hurt his feelings. If the guy is doin you wrong dont let him push you around tell him your gonna whoop his ass and take everthing and if he says a word whoop his ass again. Stand up for yourself kid. Leave everything you take somewhere esle for a little while.

Damn doc that's a tough one man, I mean you're probably going to get screwed a little no matter what. Just tell him you're done for awhile?

I do stand up for myself, the problem is that if I do it to aggressively or something I KNOW im not seeing any of my hard work. I have no problem pissing him off or telling him like it is, its just I am trying to plan this so I get my fair share. This is the type of kid who, im not sure how to explain it, but unstable I guess. Wish i would have never started a co-op grow. I have seen how fast situations can get ugly and just trying to not go down that past. (I.E. no piggys involved.)

yeh THE best idea was to never start with him,i know its nice to,but its shit it really is,anything can go wrong.

im glad i never started with a friend,one of them and i know who it is,stole my 5 auto ak's at the dead of night from my garden.

Alot of your friends,are not really friends when you think long and hard about it,do this,you shall see

But,i think bro,get your harvest,play it cool,get your half,then come out m60 blazing with the solo shit,if it HIS place where its grown,id day let him keep the gear,no pissing about that way,get your own(i know its expensive,ive just set up my inside grow,but its all worth it in the end as you probably know ;0

man fuck the equipment fuck the nutes and shit .tell this dude you want your half and thats it- youre done with it. If you only lose out on a couple hundred bucks- you got off CHEAP!

i wish it was that easy. that would work but i want my share of this last crop and i know he will screw me over if i say im out before i get my share. last time every colla was gone but one somehow.

nice friend... pick them wisely. not one of my friends would do that. they are not friends if you cant trust them with your life or your colaboration.

yep, time to cut ties. make the best of it and move on.

wow thanks to everyone who responded i didnt think this would generate this many people. i would suggest everyone take a long look at their circle of friends, some people are not who they preceive themselves to be. in the end some equipment lost but gained expierence.

thats it?!?! all these pages and thats all we get?!? c'mon man, what happened? were all dying to know. your not in jail so youve got that going for you

Heres the situation im in with my friend/grow op buddy... I want to get out and go on my own, however we have some plants that just started flowering and I dont want to have my share mysteriously vanish after I tell him. I want to part ways for too many reasons. We split the cost of the equipment and i know hes gonna try to keep everything b/c thats his way of thinking. What should I do to not get screwed & keep a friend? Any questions & or suggestions about the situation would be great.

Partnerships in business for the most part will kill a friendship,
And it seems that he's not a friend if you are worried about getting screwed. I trust my friends explicitly.
Real friends don't screw other friends.
Walk away from the equipment and the dude. Chalk it up as a lesson learned (hopefully)
You part on a bad note, and you'll always be wondering if he'll try and "get you back". Having to watch your backtrail can be unnerving at the least.

If I were you I'd wait until you harvest, take your share of the bud and let him keep the equipment. That way he can't really be pissed and you'll avoid any confrontation or hassles over it.

I think if you sit down with him in a calm manner and basically say almost exactly what was in ur very first post...... you guys can work it out.

In a perfect world that's true. But personal experience tells me otherwise. Money (even trivial bits of it) does some pretty strange things to people.

A very tough situation you re in. I have been in a similar one myself, had a partner for a few years way back in my early grow years. If you want to keep him as a friend, you should go about it in a friendly way. Like you say over trimming, just bring it up and tell him you want to go out on your own.
I ended up splitting everything in half as we were 50/50 partners. All the equipment was summed up in $ amounts and we went from there. For sure you are going to have to replace lots when going on your own, but trust me it is worth it in the end. That constant wonder if you are getting screwed goes away, even though they are a best bud, that is human nature.
As for the plant strains, if you are keeping moms together, we cut as many as we could off them and split them up too then got rid of the moms. Now years later, we are still friends smoking together, sharing grow tips and such.
I hope it all works out for you.

you should have laid it out. 50/50 or he can fear for his life every second.
he's just a human. he can die.
people are cocksuckers and need to learn that they can't make up their own rules.
i would have cornered him and laid it out.
if he didn't agree, then he wouldn't leave that corner.
i am not a violent person, but most people don't have a brain to understand the logic of a business agreement.
they do however have a body to understand pain.
pain then typically equates to logic.

Do like Dr. Dre did, leave with nothing and come back even harder..when people split after doing business they always think u owe them something later.

Hiya boy.. I'm in the. Exact same problem as you. I too am growing marijiana in a friends house and last harvesr two big side branches were missing I did confront him and asked who done this but then let it go coz in my head I thought the most valuable part of this whole thing is the growing bit coz dats where the mind is. He stole some bud bit fuk it I stole 50 buds lol in my waist pocket. I want to part from him too and do my own happy growing with no one to grow around he really pissed me of especially I have to grow around his time and not when the plants need time. Many times he has unplugged sumfin without knowing and nearly killed da plants don't know wjere peoples brains are. Anyway the main things is fuk da stuff take ur buds and move on invest in better stuff and a place to grow and ull be happy

Btw grow it and steal some at harvest and then split it so dat way u took back what weren't his
