New Room Build. I raised the ceiling to almost 10 feet. Most of the room will contain 1000 Watt vertical lighting. 9,000 Watts. Don't worry guys, I have more electrical wires being snaked up. Here's a few rough pics:

damn dude i could understand if your wer claiming a 100k light show with no proof, that nobody would believe you.. but you have nothing to gain but sympathy/empathy and they dont even want to give you that lol.

I feel you though man. Growing in a non med state, keeping to yourself, its lonely and can be depressing at times.

In my experience, people in the hood are the nosiest people. Id bet that its not even the same person anymore breaking in. They probably told 1 of their friends and now that person wants to break in and check it out whats left.
Especially since you ran off... now the whole hood wants to test you...


You want cheaper rent, guess what? youll have cheaper people living around you too... something to think about

Some learn early some learn late. When your doing something illegall you can never get comfortable.
Follow the rules to the game.
MOVE, learn your lesson, and make the nesseccary corrections.

As a stranger I do truly wish you the best of luck, and thanks for sharing your story here.

Thank you for understanding. Growing cannabis for many years is very lonely and times can get depressing. It is a sacrifice that I chose to make. I was not always in the ghetto. I used to rent in nice locations. Renting is a big security risk so I had to buy. The logic that I used was to buy real cheap so if I get caught and they take the house then I only lose 100k instead of 400k. That was my logic. In my state home are very expensive unless you are in specific ghettos. Obviously this was a bad idea.

You are correct about the break ins being different groups. It is a free for all where I am. Lets get the white Guy. When I leave my house people are watching. Little kids ride bikes to tell the other people what is going on. It is more organized than one might think. All the stores around me sell crack. Lokouts stay outside of the stores. Shooting are every day. Cops aren't here to help where I am.

Good things seem to be happening though. I will know in about 2 weeks. I think I found a way to leave here. I hope that I am right.

I have noticed that humans need to communicate with people. When a human is isolated, it can be very bad. That is what brought me here to IC. I figured out throughout the years that it is a strange community. It is obvious to me why this is but will keep it to myself. Thank you for your kind regards.

Yeah man, when you want to open up to people and talk but your required for your safety to not say a word, over time it gets to you. especially since humans are social creatures like you said.
alot of people, like myself, just use these sites to extract the small percentage of truth that lies in them and to satisfy the need to communicate about a common belief that happens to have so much negativity attached to it.

And yeah these sites do have those people that cling to their "online" reputation to make them feel better, dont let it phase you.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders just from reading your posts, We all fall on hard times some worse than others but everything happens for a reason and its our job to find the lesson.

At least you have your freedom; and the knowledege it takes to get back on your 2 feet, some people dont even have that.

You Gotta get away from the Squalor, Braddah. It becomes normal (mentally) with the desensitization, and that is a danger to the Soul. Life is challenging at times. Especially this hobby. Even in a Medical State..! Why make it harder..?

Go somewhere that you can truly chill a bit, and grow some flowers in Peace, my Friend. You have obviously earned it, DD. Of Course, it won;t be a bargain, but at least there's a measure of Safety. Priceless..!!

If ya wanna talk about cannabis go to the Cup, or some similar event, outside of your area, and You can talk Shop all day.

Again, Good Luck.

Oh my God! I'm a kid in a candy store right now! My house is officially sold! Cash offer. My troubles are over. Anything is possible now. Where do you guys think I'm going? I'm taking my U-Haul directly to a Med state for the first time of my life. No worries. No stress. And its not all about money. I'm going to give most of my trees away to people who actually need it and appreciate what I have to offer. Fuck all these opportunists. Fuck these clowns. This situation has taught me that life is too short for drama and bullshit. Money is some straight bullshit. I can grow my own food. Raise my own cattle. Eat like a king. Live like a king. Money is so fucking corrupt and causes so many problems. Careing about money makes you part of the system that us growers are supposed to be against. My money is going to the cause. To the education of our plant. And who do I have to thank for this? The Vietnamese! I have a new chance of life. I've learned so much. I've made millions. Spent millions. It was fun bit it brought major drama in my life. Fake friends. Fuck most people. I'm drinking a bottle of patron writing this as my celebration to my new world. It feels pretty good!

So, you're this big-time grower, and you have a roommate in the house?

I don't believe any of this shit.

Haters gonna hate. You know who the Guy is who lives down stairs for free? Someone I've been taking care of for 4.5 years. He doesn't help me with anything. I pay him money every week. Gave him over 60k. Been teaching him my grow style for years. He has no common sense at all and can't do much for himself. I still take care of him. He is one of the only people in my life that isn't a hater. He believes in my skills. We don't share the same views but we share the same planet. You have a tough time believing because your stuck in your own little world in the suburbs. Like I said send me a PM and you can come see for yourself. I dont grow with 50 lights. Never had a warehouse. Just had 10-20 lights for many years on the east coast where prices are high. To you I'm just some bum closet grower. You don't like me because I speak my mind. Tell what I'm going through. There no way people will talk about their struggles right? Its all about attention to you. Yeah I waste my life for you. Lets just do some simple math. Lets say that I'm 36 years old and I've been growing for longer than 16 years full time. Now lets just put 10 lights into the equation with east coast prices. Lets say instead of 5 or 6 crops a year that I only did 4 crops even though I did more. Lets say I only got 1.5 grams per Watt instead of more than 2 pounds a light. Lets say I got 5k a pound instead of 6k a pound 3 years ago and more. That is 60 pounds per year but it was more. Add 5k a pound to that. It was actually 6k up til 3 years ago.

5k x 60 = 300k per year - expenses. Expenses are about 10-15%. Multiply by years. That is millions. I also invested in legal businesses that I financed and managed. Was involves in the music industry and profited over 1.5 mil with artists that underground hip hop heads know world wide. Invested in realestate. The point is, I believe in myself and take risks. You obviously don't believe in yourself. You probably are scared to live your dreams because you think about the risks involved. I don't. Even though you have your views that aren't mine, you can still do whatever you want if you believe in yourself. But you may be stuck in your own ways. I hope you get to your dream one day. I know I will. In a couple weeks when I delete my account to change names for my next grow, ill include a picture of what 250k in hard cash looks like. It'll be in this post. Want to see a pound of BHO too? How about a stack of my ballasts and reflectors? Your a funny Guy.

A FRIEND WITH WEED IS A . . .

This has been a crazy month for me. I've been growing for many years with no problems but the last month has been crazy. I have no idea who these people are but they keep kicking down my doors and breaking windows to get into 2 of my properties. After the first break in I killed all my Moms and moved all my equipment. Some equipment was taken but I was left with around 10,000 Watts. I lost a lot of money but still have a lot hidden. Its been very scary. I had over 100 trash bags from years of growing that I had to dispose of which consisted of finding lots of dumpsters which took a while. I moved to another property which I thought no one would find me and last night I was sleeping and I heard a loud bang. I woke up real fast and looked at the door and thought maybe I was just bugging. Then the door got kicked in and 3 guys with masks were looking right at me. I froze for the longest 2 seconds which felt very long. My first instinct was to was to get to the other door and run. I made it out with my boxers and nothing else. I ran for my life and was chased for at least 3 blocks. My feet are swollen with blisters. The other break ins I couldn't call the cops but I had nothing weed related except a few ounces and some equipment. My best friend was still in the house sleeping. I thought he was dead. I hid in a bush down the street for 20 minutes until I saw a. Cop drive by but I called from a pay phone 15 minutes earlier. They went to the house and found my equipment and my friend hiding in the closet. I was happy to see him. The cops found the weed and some lights and systems and didn't take anything but harrassed me. I am not in a Med state. They were very rude and told me I smell like I havelnt showered in days. They did steal a few things but not much. I don't know if ill continue growing but if I do I will move far off the grid. I have no idea who these guys are or how they found both spots. I still think they will be back. There's a lot more to the story but I can't get into the details at this time.
seems like youve bitten off more than you can chew, grow wise, and its coming back to bite you in the ass. as with anything you've got options. now its obvious that you have to move, maybe do something in a buried container (thats if you still wanna be as big as you are/have gotten)

mer personally i would have to know who is coming at me like that. if ive gotta run/relocate then its not gonna be with just my tail between my legs. first thing is, they are gonna keep coming at you because they know they can, so you already realize that its someone that youve either dealt with or know.

if you have never told anyone about what you do then that means that you were being followed/monitored to some degree. IMO if you want to protect yourself, you may have to do it off the grid, meaning if you want some "ppl" or guns then you may have to do it through someone, that is no where near you; out of state but preferably out of country if you can.

they are going to keep coming no matter what you do so you have to be drastic in all the ways you handle this. all i can think of in the way of advice is and AR15 with a night vision scope, lots of cameras ,a few dogs and a reeeeally strong shoulder strap for the AR15 (and make sure you get a suppressor for it because once you start making that kind of noise/flashes you would have to be already gone!!!)

to me it sounds like since you have the cash on deck your best bet would be to just relocate and stay under ground and move through proxies. thats how i do things, no one i mean NO ONE can come to me for weed at anytime for any reason (especially now with me redoing my grow spot and am able to double my production). if anything i send them to the guy i move shit with, and that person is family.

good luck to you

I'm glad that you can have some fun on my accord. I'm just happy that it finally worked out. You don't know how scared I'd be if I had to spend the winter here. It wasn't a good feeling. Sorry the thread will end but better threads will come with actual growing. I'm sure most of you will figure out my new handle with my style of speaking and wording. Thanks for the good vibes. It really does mean a lot to me. You seem like a nice Guy. It will be funny what the haters will say when I take those pictures. Hope your dreams come true.

Oh, snap! Now you've convinced me...my bad.


Did you btw just offer to show your grow proof to strangers who PM you from a MJ grow site? (I didn't read much beyond half of page 1). With decision-making skills like that, I can't imagine how you'd be having security issues.

I'm no hater, nor am I sitting in judgement of you; It's just that I have a good BS detector, and simply don't believe you're being totally honest here, that's all. If it is true, sorry for your troubles, but maybe it's time to retire/scale WAY down and rejoin the human race.
