Krunch -
Glad to hear things are starting to look up and work out your way. It sucks getting raided - happened to me around the same time as you, July of 2010. They brought in two SWAT teams (Called SERT here) when my girlfriend and I were at home. They managed to get a mere 6 zips and 6 small (3") rooted clones, this was in a non-med state.
I was't going to sweat it, figured they had a weak case. Sat in jail for 2 months before getting my discovery and found out that I sold bud to a confidential informant. I immediately lawyered up and bonded out after getting my bond reduced from 50k to 5k + home detention. Did about 7 months on home detention before getting sentenced to 3-years minus time served, the remainder suspended to probation. Even got jail time credit for home detention.
Anyway, you were one of my original inspirations to continue to take my grow to the next level. Without people such as yourself, I'd probably still be growing 1-2 plants under CFL's with a small crappy outdoor crop every year too. Because of growers like yourself, I've spent a lot of time and effort learning about cultivation and improving my set-up piece by piece.
When I did my first vert set-up, man I was all smiles. Standing there with 2 stacks from floor to ceiling looking back at rubbermaid bin CFL grows.... well it was no 20k op, but to me? I made it where I wanted to be.
I lost everything after the raid, all my lights and stuff and I'm currently preparing for my next op, gotta buy everything all over again, and you know that's not cheap. Just keep on growing, man. Keep on being the inspiration that you are to a lot of us.
All them haters? They just makin' you famous, bro. Good luck with your legal battles, and do keep us posted.
