Yeah. You are exactly right. You know that many, many, many, many other IC Magger's do this exact same thing...right?

amen amigo
see how these comments don't really jive together?
why buy if you cannot afford it? you'll just be another short seller in a year.
Some of the highest cost of living in the nation, the highest utility bills (I run upwards of 28 cents a kWh which is a fucking LOT. A 3k with an A/C [vital in SoCal summer] and some fans would run me about $500/mo)
so there goes any sort of legal defense you had. Might as well have just been growing in your home state...... equity means shit when it gets seized for interstate trafficking. (read: DEA)
why not move out here and set up a small personal grow? Do you have a job lined up or are you expecting to throw down 20k and hopefully crop out before it runs dry?
still curious about how many lights you've ran before and if you plan on having any sort of a 'normal' (read: social) life while living at this house.

Dude, don't attack me like that. You sound like a prick. I never said it was just a personal grow... I said 3Kw from the beginning. So yeah nice try putting words in my mouth. Yes I plan on moving it out of state. Yes 50% of bud in Cali moves out of state. Yes many other IC Maggers do this exact same thing. Like it's been said. Risk = reward. Stop being a pussy.
I don't plan on going out to dream land stop putting words in my mouth. You sound like such a jackass. I know Cali is down the tubes. I am well-a-fucking-ware. I know OC is conservative and strict. I even said it in an earlier post!!! Are you reading? OC might be shitty, but guess what. It beats the state I am in right now!! Some of you Cali folks are so ungrateful for what you have. Maybe it isn't the best, but it sure beats 95% of the other fucking states in this country!

"so there goes any sort of legal defense you had. Might as well have just been growing in your home state......."
WRONG. That is IF i get caught trafficking out of state! If I am in my condo hypothetically get raided I am not breaking Fed laws for out of state trafficking. Point blank man. You are right that trafficking makes it illegal all over again, but when I am not trafficking I am in a hell of a lot better position growing in that condo in OC than I am growing out here in the bumblefuck Midwest. Like I said you Cali people can be so ungrateful. Life ain't all peaches and cream, but it ain't so fuckin bad either. I would rather live in OC than fucking Ohio.
Might as well have been growing in my home state? Get the fuck out of here. That's just wrong.

Yeah sure. Why not? I have had stealth grows in my apartment here in the midwest without girlfriends finding out about it. I can put a lock on a bedroom door, call it a closet, and tell everyone we live in a 2 bedroom. I'm capable. Stealth isn't my problem. People are trying to give me tips on how to keep my mouth shut. I can handle myself.

Such bitter people. I hope your grow goes great too...
hahaha dude nobody THINKS they are gonna get caught...if you get raided and they HAPPEN to find a packing slip. Or lets just pretend your buddies in Ohio get popped on a controlled delivery, you think they'll keep their mouths shut? Good luck with that!
people ship weed all the time, and people get caught for it all the time.
wanna quit dodging the 'how many lights have you ran' question?
I can see it now, you have a girl over and she asks "whats in that room? why is it always locked? whats that humming sound in there?"
Stealth+3k=oxymoron
I get the vibe you want someone to just pat you on the back and say GO FOR IT JUNIOR! to pad your ego and soothe your nerves. You've already got your mind made up and want that reassurance. Its not happening for a reason.
Ill just be the one who says what everyone is already thinking.
Some things you shouldn't talk about, you naive country bumpkin, okay? Tame it the fuck down. I repeat, some things just shouldn't be talked about. If you can't grasp that, than like I said a minute ago...stop talking about certain things and making ICMaggers look like you, straight up amateur who is trying to shit in someone else's back yard.
All these dude you shat on. KNOW what fucking time it is. Its advice id pay for in some cases , in some situations from past experiences. Save a lotta time and cash.
Another fucking turd move, asking about something and not wanting to hear what people say. That falls along the lines of some bumpkin moving out of state, buying a property with no money and trafficking out of state , and talking about it like this is secure.
Just stop dude lol. You have your mind made up, we will see you in the Security and legal issues next year with a diff set of questions.
Im wondering why your DEAD SET on OC......
SOOOO Many other area codes, you watch a lot of TV? Real Houswives Of OC is fake...

Is this off-topic, maybe? Holy shit bro. I'm not asking why my grow aren't turning out as potent as I like...
you retarded?
So maybe i am not that good of a grower. Am I allowed to learn? Is that ok? Or are all positions taken and no one is hiring?
This is a fucking joke. You guys are assholes.
Krunch - you are a prick. I had sympathy for you when I read about getting busted a few times. But jeez man. You are gonna buy my equipment off craigslist in a little...?
Ok. And i'm gonna buy your house from a police auction.

3 Kw will not get you noticed as long as you pay the bills on time.
Everything else you seem to have made up your mind. Good luck with the plan. If you ever end up driving something to the midwest go around Utah.

you dont have a job lined up? well get in line. True unemployment out here is way worse than 8% Hows minimum wage sound to you?
your initial question was answered many times over. Its everything else you have said that has TERRIBLE IDEA written all over it. The people telling you this is a fucked up idea have been in your shoes and spent more than 20k learning these lessons.
get out of your own head and take some advice from people that have been doing what you wanna do for over a decade. We aren't just saying this to keep you outa cali and keep it for ourselves. I like to think of this as trying to stop a slow motion trainwreck.
you think were attacking, come back in a year and tell us all how it went.

Yeah i'll have a thread just like krunchbubble when he got busted. We all play the game. You are mad that I plan on breaking the law... on a marijuana growing forum? What a joke.
