Dont . Trust .Anyone. Ever
weed nerd out
Happy belated and sorry to hear about your misfortune.... Ripping someones crop has got to be like 3 steps up from raping a child on the scumbag scale.. (I'm joking obviously, it all sucks)...
You can trust some people with your op, but you cant always trust who they're gonna tell about your shit... If your a non-med/underground grower, show NO ONE.... fuck that... All it takes is a single instance of a big-mouth being shot off that can put you in a very bad spot and dicks with badges can be ripping your crop which is honestly worse than just getting ripped, now your going to jail along with loosing your crop, your gear, and maybe your house if the IRS gets jiggy with whatever agency got you... And if your a non-med fellow, stick with 99 or less plants, after that fed charges ensue...
As far as being a medical grower, you still cant show anyone... as you can see first hand some scumbag stole your hard ass work... My state became a med state not to long ago so more and more growers are starting to come out of the wood-work and some of them being friends all wanna see my garden as out of all my friends so far I'm a little more ahead of the curve than most (so far thanks to RIU and TGA) and they offer me to see theirs and I politely say no thanks on either, even if they're life long friends.... you know which ones cant resist talking, and its most people that cant keep their mouth shut so I no longer show anyone, family, friends, and especially girlfriends and even more especially one night standers, you may impress them with what you got going but eventually it'll come back to bite you....... everyone is a liability to you once they know about it.. You more than likely dont have equal leverage to get them to keep quite.... You never know when someone is gonna turn against you, I've had this happen to me in the worst kinda way and it caused me to have to rip my room apart like the law was literally on the way with sirens blaring and kept my op down for more than 6 months, and we all know how long it takes when you gotta start back from seed again..... but in that instance I had, I honestly didnt know if they were or were not coming or watching me but the bastard that turned on me made the threat to me that "I'm calling the cops" (over the phone of course, they never do it in person)... and thats all it takes to fuck your shit up permanently... Never mind the whole situation where someones gonna come in with force and rob you at gun point or something, thats something I hope I never hear about here but sadly it will more than likely has happened and will happen again sooner or later...
It sucks that not everyone is willing to work their asses off like we do to actually create something from almost nothing, but the world is a fucked up place and people are getting more and more desperate due to the state of the economy so more people are willing to take long shots for short money and it fucks people like us.... If you have to show someone your spot... You gotta do what you gotta do, hopefully you (whomever, not speaking at anyone in particular) you think it through a little before you let anyone see it but if you dont have to show anyone, dont....
#1 rule in any and all grow books.. Show no one.... Follow it best you can...
