Okay. Serious thread. Keep the bullshit out, please and thanks. I do intend to show my roommate this thread. I don't feel like I'm overreacting at all at this point. Don't say "don't grow with roommates," because I already know.
Okay here's the situation:
4 months ago my grow was in the planning stages. It was originally for a vert grow, 3 levels high all lights on a relay over to a 2nd flower room.
Simply put, the costs were divided evenly between the two of us. He was responsible for 1 light, ventilation, and the growing medium while I was responsible for 2 lights, building the cab, nutes, containers, pH meter, relays... everything else, really. I'm the only experienced grower (9 years) and he wanted to learn. So that's how this all came about.
So 3 months ago we move in and get started. So I inform him I'm gonna germ the seeds. He has no interest in doing so, so I germ his seeds for him.
I transplant the seeds into jiffy cubes and stick 'em under some 300w of CFL's I had from an old mother plant. I believe he was downstairs taking bong hits and playing video games while I was doing that.
The seedlings stay in the peat pots way too long. I approach him several times about "needing dirt" (actually soilless medium) as it was supposed to be his responsibility. I get frustrated and figure "fuck it," and cough up $20 for the first of many bags... that he was supposed to buy.
I buy some Dixie cups for transplant. We run out and he picks up a pack.
The plants grow (72 if them...300w CFL) and start taking up more room so we need more light. I approached him several times asking when he was going to have some money to order some lights fans/filters, ect. Figured we'd just get it at the same time to save on shipping. He kept putting it off and I got frustrated so I went ahead and ordered 1 light/ballast because they were just getting too big to fit under that amount of light.
I also go buy some wood to build the cab. Get all the tools necessary and start building that. I mention the need for fans again, and he keeps basically saying "next pay check" and has one excuse or another. So I go to walmart, and pick up a fan to blow under the bulbs... supposed to be his responsibility.
So up until this point, I've LITERALLY done every bit of the labor. Every single thing we're using to grow is mine, except about 10 dixie cups that he paid for. All the soil, containers, lights, fans, nutes... everything at this point is all me. I begin wondering if he actually wants to do this.
They begin to outgrow their new containers. I ask him again about some grow lights, fans/filters. Another excuse. So I go ahead and order again without him, I get some grow bags and some more Big Bloom. They arrive... I'm forced to go buy another couple bags of medium. I transplant. Alone.
Up until now, I'm the only person who's watered them. Only person who's fed them. Only person who's done ANYTHING more than just look at them. I'm already several hundred dollars into it, he's about $2... and it's a month later.
I approach him again about his part of the deal. Still nothing. I order another grow light. It arrive. I set it up. Set up the second level of the vert. Transplant more plants, ect.
My roommate has his friend come over for the weekend. He makes a deal with his friend... his friend buys a grow light... I guess he get's a cut of my roommate's cut? So.. point is... his FRIEND buy's his light... he still hasn't contributed... I pick up a pH meter while we're there.
Over 30 days into flower he buys a fan/filter and some cloning gel. Still don't even have any ducting, so I can't seal the tent up. Thus it's not light-proof, thus I've been ghetto rigging plastic in the window, ect. Up until this point he's purchased one bag of medium. He helped transplant about 5 plants from 1 gallon bags to 3 gallon bags.
I've done all the leg work. I spend 3+ hours in there daily. He does nothing more than look at how pretty they are.
Yeah well... we got hermies. About 6 of them. I 100% blame him. Had he kept his part of the deal and gotten his parts promptly, this would never have been an issue.
It seems to me he's going to sit back, let me do all the work, while not even keeping his part of the deal fairly and getting half the bud? All while his slacking off has caused me to lose out on quality?
Abso-fucking-lutely un-fucking-acceptable. You told me you wanted to learn how to grow. You sat downstairs and smoked your money up and played video games instead of sweating away in that grow room like I was. You were approached several times politely, and several times angrily. I tried to get through you.
I doubt there's a person here that's going to say you deserve half of the harvest. I doubt there's a person here who's gonna say you deserve 1/3 of the harvest. I made some serious fucking sacrifices for this, and the hermies were the final straw. That's you fucking up my grow. All the money you spent on pot? I had that too, only I spent it on the grow. You smoked up a lot of your cut here, I'm pretty sure, dude.
Not to mention I've also spent $100-$120 on the medium that was your responsibility, $20 on that fan that's part of the ventilation, countless hours of labor feeding and watering YOUR plants that came from YOUR seeds that YOU were supposed to take care of. And no, it's not okay to pay me back now that we're almost to the chop.
I doubt I'm overreacting here - but then again I literally just spent 3 hours plucking seeds that YOUR slacker ass decisions created. Out of bud you seem to want for free. Had you done what you were supposed to do, this wouldn't have happened. Yeah I coulda bought what I needed myself, but you kept telling me you were gonna do this. Didn't wanna step on your toes any, and fuck you tested my patience. I almost pulled the plug on it twice. It was a bullshit fucking grow and you know it - shit only looks good because I know what I'm doing. Not because of anything you did. Only thing you've done is make seeds.
I told you ahead of time this was gonna be a part time job. Guess you wasn't hearin' me. Shit don't grow itself, and I ain't growing it for you. THIS is why I wanted two different flowering rooms on the relay. This is why I insisted on it over the "one room" you wanted to do and just go half and half. Basically? I would have done better had you had nothing to do with this at all. We both know this. Your procrastination fucked MY grow up.
What's ICMag think?
