The Highly Improbable Fears of a Grower

[ak-51]

So you guys (and girls) know how the stress gets. Sometimes you just come up with the most unlikely 'what if' scenarios in your head and really play them out to their unfortunate end. This happens to me a lot but it doesn't take long for me to come back to my senses and think "that was fucking stupid". I usually laugh at them later, but I though we could share some of them and all laugh together.

After hearing a tornado warning siren go off I had this picture in my head of a tornado ripping through my back yard and tearing a whole wall off of my place but magically leaving the inside completely untouched, so that everybody walking by could have an unobstructed view of my grow-room in all its glory.

After flushing so much medium, nutes and trimmings down the toilet, some cuts have developed into clones and are growing in some corner of the local water treatment plant.

All of my friends somehow found out about my grow and openly talk about it when I'm not around. For my own piece of mind they continue to let me think that none of them know.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to sleep without the constant sound of water gurgling and bubbling.

Addendum: This post is not serious and is intended solely for comedy

dont do the crime if you cant do the time

 

[supermanlives]

no fear

 

[schwilly]

be aware, not fearful

stress kills

I struggle with this as well.

You can be fearless, but there is still the very real chance of getting your life fucked up and or going to jail. I;m leaning towards the "fuck it all" side of the spectrum these days, but it may shorten my lifespan.

I wonder if importers/brokers feel the same way...?

Yo Man Number #3? Yeah that one is real!! Sorry

You have to be as comfortable with the benefits as the potential downfalls. Do all you can to minimize risk while maximizing your stash, then to hell with the rest.

i worry alot about my place burning down.

I think maybe my post misrepresented what I was trying to do here. None of the things listed really ever stressed me out for real. They were silly thoughts I had and laughed at. I was thinking somebody else might find them funny as well. Not to say I'm not mindful of certain risks associated with growing (like power bill, odor). Just not these aspects. I thought all of those were so over-the-top ridiculous that nobody could possibly think I was seriously sweating them. If I were serious about these things I probably would have posted in security/legal.

The whole point was to share ridiculous thoughts like "what if a deer jumped through my window and ran up in my grow with animal control right behind!?". Outlandish and unrealistic things to laugh about.

What if a pregger rabbit gets in my room? Fukin spier mites are bad enough?

My ops are in the winter which consist of oil filled radiators constantly running, I'm always thinking what if it falls over and burns my fucking house down.

Okay, I'm picking up what you're laying down. I'm smelling what you're stepping in. I can hear you barking, dog!

Unfortunately, most of my worries are 100% real. Snitches, fires, knock and talks, snitches, snitch ex-girlfriends, jail, jail, jail, odor, bunker collapses, electricity company rats, running out of cash, getting shot then robbed, getting robbed then shot, smart meter rats, lawyer fees, unplugged hydro pump, power outages, snitches, cannabis predjudices, crop failure, clones slow to root, cannabials, zombie apocalypse, sanity, loose lips, getting electrocuted, growing bad weed, FLIR, phone taps, internet monitoring, cops on ICMAG, and the list goes on.

this made me laugh out loud.

worrying sucks, the other day a piece of poly fell off the wall in front of the timer for my pump. its light sensitive so it stopped watering... caught it in time luckily but that could have been really really bad.

[longearedfriend]

LOL like you its definitely not something I worry about but this one has crossed my mind.

CBM: you forgot the most obvious of all.......snitches

i worry.

cops could show up to my door looking for a crazy family member. i don't fucking know. fires. anything! you could tell no one and shit can still happen. random as fuck shit. that's what plays out in my mind. my health as failed me before and i've had to call an ambulance. i don't need fucking emt, cops, fire dept. in my house responding to a call. like i say ANYTHING can happen.

i don't worry about people because no one knows i grow. got no pics. smoke alone and at home. hell most people don't even know i smoke, and if they do they definitely have no reason to think i grow because i never flash more than a quarter, and often take breaks from smoking. which is complete bullshit (i smoke everyday) just done for safety reasons.
