Tell one person and this is how it happens....

[British_Bulldog]

Well I had a GF who I lived with at a big grow in England years ago.

She didn't like me growing, but she could see I was good at it, and enjoyed it too - it kept me calm and happy (having a nice garden to tend to), and drew in the money.

We had a rule, that certain words were not said in the house, as the walls weren't the thickest, and had neighbours on either side, as it was a terraced house.

These words, for example were: cannabis, grow, drug deal(ing), marijuana, etc

However, after a while, when we had an argument, and I was chilled and she couldn't get a reaction, she would start raising her voice and saying these words...

I was facing a stretch in the big house if the neighbours rang the police.

She even rang the police once, and I had to take the phone off her, put in down, then ring them back to tell them it was an accident and there was no problem...before a police car arrived at the house shortly after

So, even though we loved each other, I had to take drastic action to save my ass, and hers too..

I had to tell her that if the pigs came around and busted me because of her big mouth, then she is my accomplice and in on it all, and she's going down with me.

That shit her up, and she watched what she said after that, and she also wouldn't go near the grow areas due to evidence such as fingerprints and DNA from hairs etc.

It wasn't nice, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do sometimes..

Believe it or not, she did still play these games sometimes, and after she got her reaction, I would say "are you f*ckin' stupid or what...do you want to go to jail??!!"


Peace

Even after I went "clean" and enacted the policy of silence properly, years and years later I was still known among many as a potential drug dealer and weed thug. The shit never goes away, and family is the worst! They never shut up!

Shit, I had a friend who's kid, six years old, brought up that their daddy grows, in school. He was very lucky that he had nothing at the house, and then very angry with his wife, who ran her mouth IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING GIRLFRIENDS AND THE CHILDREN.

Ok, so we all know that really, the only way to be absolutely sure that your grow is secret is TELL NO ONE, not your GF, wife, family, kids, etc.
I'm of the opinion it's easier said than done, especially if any of the above live with you.
How many icmaggers have actually told NO ONE about their grow? We'll consider posting about it on this forum under an alias as having told no one, of course.
I'm guessing that less than 5% of icmaggers really, truly have told no one about their growing. That's how hard I think it is to keep it truly secret. Just my two cents...

Growing aside, everything that your g/f knows about you, her friends know.

That's why it pays to treat her to a foot massage often. All her friends will know this and if the 2 of you split up, they'll be round to check you out.

All the more reason to be single. No strings sex, unlimited and uninterrupted football from september to februray, and no loud mouths that I have to tell about my grow to.

kinda hard not to tell her, since i did kick all her shyt out of the closet

"oh honey i threw all your stuff in that box there, and put a lock on the closet door, no reason really just felt like it"

plus not all relationships are dishonest, how the hell could or would you hide that from your wife ?
a GF yeah sure no problem

just my 2 pennies

 

[Mrs.Babba]

trying to hide a grow from a wife would be really really hard!! ...GF maybe but wife? thats a stretch, besides, wives can be really helpful with the grow

 

[hamstring]

Hamstring: you said your friend wanted some clones but you didn't want to give him any. Why not? I don't see the harm in giving out clones, it's just a few snips off your mother which will grow back in a couple weeks. I understand you want to make him work for it and not always leech off you but what's the harm in passing clones between friends? Unless he's the sort of bloke who'll just keep asking for more and more: unused equipment, nutes, medium, etc. Just my two cents...

I hope I can put this in perspective for you and anyone in this situation. I am sure many growers have been put in the situation (probably early on in their growing career) where some guy with out a clue asks for some clones. I in fact have supplied this guy clones and left them very close to his desired grow sight for him. They sat there for weeks and some got eaten and some destroyed by weather. One other time he dug a hole with 6inchs diameter by 6inchs deep and never visited or rarely cared for them.

Any person who does not have the motivation to research and care properly for a plant will do the same to his security of the grow. Saw it happen in frount of my eyes. They become a liability to you from your kindness. Don’t get me wrong I love this guy but he is not or never will be a grower. He has been a great asset in many other ways but not growing .

I got where I am by doing not talking and yes I bought my first clones form a guy who new a guy etc etc. With in a few years I was completely self-empowered and that’s before I ever heard of OG or IC Mag.

Bottom line is anyone really interested in growing nowadays does not need your help just motivation.

PEACE

i know med growers how won't tell people. LEO don't always care if you are legal. Some DA's are looking for Legal growers to "make an example of" This is america, a med card doesn't mean shit if the DA/Judge don't want it to.

trust no one and your still at risk. maybe one day you leave a hose on. One day the Pigs are chasing a real criminal through your area and bust in your door looking for some bank robber and find a room full of pot and you just made their day.

stay safe, free, and high

Other than my best friend/lawyer, no one knows.

Don't mind that he knows either as if something goes wrong, then he's going to be the first to find out after I do.

 

[FRIENDinDEED]

a couple people know about mine, really close friends though, and fellow growers, all small time, nice and simple grows, nothing to raise eyebrows about.

the others are avid smokers and want nothing, and i mean nothing messin with thier "connect".

i do have thoughts of one day just tellin everyone that i stopped and jsut keep it movin but these people know how to keep thier noses clean, aint even the type of people to get caught up in crazy shit enough to rat someone out like. nie quiet folk, like myself.

but i am sure someone is aying out there, yes i understand anything can happen.

stay safe though, and tell no one,. . . . yeah i think i may jsut go ahead and tell them i quit growin.

 

[GeneticHeirloom]

Only person that knew about mine was my ex, I flushed my grow down the toilet twice due to extremely heated arguments, I wasn't taking any chances. It's been awhile since that's happened but I know for sure she'd have no 2nd thoughts in bringing it up during a regular Maryjane conversation.

 

[headiez247]

What happens when one of these friends get drunk or takes a drink at a party with something in it and starts blabbing. Or gets himself into deepshit like a DUI Manslaughter and is grasping at straws to keep himself out of jail. If you have a 10 plant grow, nobody gives a shit and the guy wont get a break. But if you have oh lets 9KW and 700 plants like myslef, and one of my "friends" gets busted, can I be sure he is going to keep his lips sealed.

I will admit I have 4 other people who know about my grow, 2 family members, 1 person that was key in setting it up, and another potential partner.

It is my intent to open up in an undisclosed spot, and tell everyone I quit, punked out and found someone else doing it and am just passing it along.


I had no choice in 3 of them, the 4th was a bad decision.


When my last grow got busted, I had no idea what the hell happened or who snitched. It made me really paranoid and I felt like killing someone, actually a specific person. Turns out it was something stupid I did and a neighbor snitched.


Tell nobody

If only he took his own advice...

 

[john cutter]

Noticed he was off the site. hopefully it is just for preventative reasons.

 

[eyebrows86]

if a fish kept it's mouth shut it wouldn't get caught makes sense

 

[Hydro-Soil]

I have been with my gf for over 2 years now and she would never tell. she knows she is at risk too, but even besides that fact i know i can trust her. a lot of women suck, but not all

Treat a woman like a human. Most women will be so surprised they won't know how to handle it. Treat em like a human for enough years and they become really beautiful people. Most women were/are never exposed to that. A strong and trustworthy relationship takes years of work and dedication... you don't just fall into it like a cowpie.

Nothing like a woman you can trust with your life and your family.

Stay Safe!

 

[minigreens]

me and that same girl are still together. got a house and setting up a nice little grow together. i got her into it and now she smokes more than me we've been together over 4 years now.

although i have seen almost every relationship in my family crumble to pieces within the last couple years. they all seemed to think they found the right girl too and then the woman leaves

 

[Dr.lecter]

its nice to say tell no one for sure, but to any one rockin over 1000w... what you smoke 2 pounds every 2 months?

lol TELL NO ONE! jar up all that bud and itl magically be gone in the morning with a pretty white check to cash in its place.

or your the guy who happens to call theyre guy... every 2 or 3 months... with name brand bud... waaay better than 95% of the average shit out there... sound like this?

' its from a friend, i ddidnt grow it' reality check? they dont belive you.

be safe, its frosty out there.

 

[cman2011UT]

my girl knew i grew until i quit **wink wink**...though i feel like i could trust her...i know mentally she is not as strong as me and if it ever came down to it she may tell...which is why she thinks i no longer grow and which is why i'm moving away for graduate school...my only concern is moving to a state with the second strictest pot laws...GA

 

[armedoldhippy]

have never been busted...well, not for growing, LOL! did come home one day last winter though, to a new snow, only to realize that my garage was the only building in town that did not have snow on the roof! that was the end of my indoor experimentation. @#$% HPS heat...
