Manteca Grow bust - Marijuana News - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

2000+ plants. No arrests

For so much investment, it sure seemed like there was some less than perfect execution. Wing reflectors? Why not just go open bulb? If the grower is reading this, your clones were pretty sad.

And of course, they were stealing power. Oddly, news said, "PG&E wouldn't have noticed a spike..." Not sure what that means but could be concerning.

I used to go to Manteca every weekend to play at the field of dreams baseball park. Hit one on the net there

Place is pretty rotten from a living standard.

I love this part.....

"The power was bypassed so that the equipment could be used without paying for the electricity and so as not to attract attention, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars."

It's like when a bank or a store gets robbed, multiply the actual loss by ten.

I'm surprised that they didn't say " ....hundreds of thousands of dollars maybe millions, this operation could be the reason why we can't make any money!"

We used to call it Manstinka. The beet plant smelled rotten.

I think I went there once when I was a kid to ride the waterslide. I wonder if they still have a water park there? Don't hear much about Manteca these days aside from meth busts and now weed busts, lol.

Surprised these guys didn't have the smell factor reduced so they wouldn't get busted. Running a big op like that, you would think that smell control would be paramount.

Not a ton of sympathy for someone running an op that big and being so stupid about it.

Carbon filters?? Apparently not.

Maybe they had grow problems, bugs mould what have you. Stripped out some of the best gear and abandoned the rest, or let one of their corrupt police friends find it in exchange for being left alone for a while.
