hey..

if you're medical and liscenced then its cool - no worries. i didnt mean to scare you.. I think you have unfortuneately caught his attention, but by the sounds of it hes not concerned or wanting to pry or check your future bills etc.. The comment could have been innocent too..
i still think you should be cordial at the very least with him. If he invites you over, go. Maybe hes got a grow of his own or a bicycle chop shop in the storage room (Ive met one such landlord, though I was only dealing at the time)? hehe. If you got something on him then theres no need to worry. Get some neekid pics or something...
but really, you prob would have had problems by now if it was serious.. worse thing now is him talking (even casually/jokingly) to his "landlord friends"..
you should be fine - tho if there is any chance of getting in trouble its always good to be prepared with a contingency/takedown plan...

I'm guessing with that many watts going you are not in full compliance & legal, and your landlord surely knows so you'd better hope you don't get your medicine jacked. They usually have friends to take care of that for them, after all you are in his place. Why snitch you out when they can just take your shit? Time to move, seriously man. Be safe. :joint:

The growing pot joke is always very telling.
 
If you're in compliance, then of course the issue changes. But that still doesn't mean he won't evict you if he finds out.
Sadly, there is ample evidence from douchebags out there trashing apartments and homes for grows. Just because you may be a reliable, careful, conscientious tenant doesn't mean he'll think so.

I was only running 4 lights (plus ~1000 watts veg) for that $1100 bill, 3 people living in a house with an electric dryer adds up pretty quick...

Just hope & pray that your landlord doesn't talk w/ his other landlord friends. Not sure how it works in states other then California but if he's got the slightest suspicion, he can give you a 24 hour notice to enter and there's not much you can do about it. Trust me, I work in property management and do it all the time........................mostly for mold & mildew inspections.

Bunz :D
so they give you notice i could put everything in the fireplace in that time right? do they show up with the fuzz at the 24 hour deadline?
time to be invisible..and if you dont think that landlord knows, you are just lying to yourself.
Don't get complacent. Good luck..

unless it's one of those legal states right? I agree he knows but 600 dollatrs is his limit lol if "weed" is even used in a conversation with a landlord i would consider that..... code RED disinfect footprint
but i dont live in california... what do they charge people with for going over the limit?
 
fuck that, your legal! cant be letting this kind of mind set go around. landlords setting up some rippers, you gotta have one shitty land lord for that. there are real security threats to take seriously, and this i dont think is one of them. i would feel safer if my landlord joked with me like that, but alas, they are too old to be funny anymore. i cant believe people are still saying you should chop, and im glad you haven't, cuz that would be much worse than a possibility of the landlord or pigs cutting up your garden. haha

There are no limits in CA. SB420 had floors, but the CA Supremes have struck that part of SB420. I've never understood how people confuse a floor with a ceiling.
 
The man knows what's up.he was thinking about you growing before he talked to you.why else would he say something like that? shit man,your better safe then sorry.you can alway's get some more plants going.or you can wait until you get out in a few year's:2cents:
 
him mentioning pot in any way means hes prob wise.. honestly it may be a good idea to befriend the guy if not just to feel it out.. Maybe bring over a 6-pack. AFter thats done, if the situation is right, pull out a joint. If he's cool hell smoke if not it shouldnt be that bad.. DONT say anything about the grow.. If you make him see you as a person though he will have a hard time snitching and wil prob be honest with you. AT this point if youve broken the ice, he probably WILL say something if he does know. Then you will know. Hell tell you to stop or to share... Get a place or cough up some bud bribes.. (If he knows) then you gotta move or make sure its cool..
good luck!

Yeah right. People will smile in your face and stab you in the back. I don't trust anyone but my MOM(dad and sister are suspect). And im one of the friendliest people you can meet. Don't be naive dude. Finish the grow and get out.
