Pack everything up and save it for when you have your own place. This one has no chance, even for one round. Good luck with everything man.

Thanks for the wealth of replies guys!

I've definetly had a bit of a paranoid/depressed week. Been on some heavy pain killers due to a hospital visit and I think they've been fucking with my head!

As of now I am going to ride it out.. Just need to figure out a new location ASAP!

First of all, relax. If you could get convicted without evidence by someone else's testimony alone no one would ever go to jail, because they'd always be testifying that someone else did it. (Think about it... "naw dude, that 8k setup in the garage isn't mine, like... my boy dropped by, and set that up... that's like his bro... i'll totally testify that he did it all, i was like... in the other room... makin pancakes, this ain't on me!")

The lease is NOT in your name. The bills are NOT in your name. You don't even live there!

If you walked away right now there's nothing they could ever do to you... UNLESS: They have solid evidence that this was "your grow". Even if they had pictures of you with the grow... that only proves you know about it, not even that it was yours. The cops would already have to be watching you for this to turn ugly. Or... if you bought all the equipment on your credit card, that could be a slight hitch. But even then, they couldn't prove that you didn't buy it and then sell it to your boy. Truth is, if anything goes down, your boy's fucked. You're clean as a whistle.

My advice: KEEP YOUR DISTANCE until the mandala gives a nice, timely harvest. Get rid of that 16 week bullshit. Definitely not worth having in your garden, sorry. I gave a pack of those away as soon as I got them.

Another thought... you obviously live in a med state if your buddies girl's dad is a med grower. What are you worried about with a DR150 and 1000 watts? You ain't stuffin' any turkey's with a DR150, sorry.

Bottom line: You're fine, just be very, very cautious. (and stop smoking weed for a minute, that anxiety/paranoia shit gets in my head too sometimes. can't count the number of beautiful ladies i've cut and trashed on a whim)

Thanks for the reply! My head has been crazy lately and my thoughts are out of control.. Man do I hate paranoia! Once it gets in your head you can't get it out!

I realize I am quite a small turkey and am glad to keep it that way with this many people.. The idea of being snitched on kills me though.

Guess I'm going to have to ride it out and hope for the best

All i can say is follow your instinct but keep in mind there is a difference b/w instinct and paranoia. An associate of mine was talking like you are now a couple of weeks ago. I gave him this same advice. I told him to follow his instinct and that I didn't like one of his gardeners b/c he walked and talked like somebody waiting to get F'ed. He mistook his instinct for paranoia and sure enough, SWAT raids the op house. I'm not telling you this to scare you but to make a point of deciphering between paranoia and instinct. Take from it what you can...
Rule #1 your grow room is on a need to know basis and NOBODY needs to know. Considering that so many people do know, you have a lot of liabilities to think about. ask your self, Do those liabilities and risk outweigh your potential payoff? If so, option 2 for sure.

I wouldn't even consider option 3 because what if your buddy got busted? You will have a guilty conscience of a friend that you helped put in slammer and you will have taken a loss of your equipment. + your finger prints are all over the place if they offered your buddy a plea bargain for a reduced sentence and he sold you down the river. Also, what if your buddy felt a sense of proprietorship and decided to short you out of the plant? Happened to a friend of mine when he left the state and asked somebody to plant-sit for em. That is all hypothetical but they are definitely possibilities that I personally am not willing to risk.

If you feel comfortable enough to wait for the mandala to finish, then i agree entirely what opt1c said keep your distance until then like milehigh said.


Funny cuz I gave those beans away as well. I don't like thai's because they are too stretchy and give you super wispy yields. If you want a good haze high then go for Team Green Avenger's JACK THE RIPPER (JTR) 8 week haze strain that has a smell that reminds me of jack herer.

Growing is one of those things that requires patience and planning. Obviously this wasn't planned very well (no offense). Cut your loses and wait for your time to come when you can do this solo and proper. Too many hands and you get F'd because two is a crowd and three is company. Hope that helps and good luck bro

I tried to put myself in ur shoes but ultimately the decision is up to u man.

Thanks for the reply.. This is exactly what I needed to hear! These replies have helped me clear my head and think straight.

Taking into account that you are most likely under 23 years old, I would grow out the crop and finish it, then take the profits and finagle a way to buy your own spot and do it yourself. Expenses add up and splitting a few 1000's between you guys for the risk that is being taken amounts to a regular job. Partnerships are hard to maintain in this business, even when you are really good friends. I lost a lot of friends when I had partnerships.

I am under 23. Are you inferring that charges would be less/dropped? I'm not exactly sure how this works but if you could explain it some it'd be great..

Expenses definetly add up.. Something I underestimated for sure.
I don't want to lose this partner as a friend so hopefully we can work something out!

If nothings in your name, and your going to be out of country for harvest, stick it out..With a good wipe down of the place b4 you go. Have your friend that lives at the house change your contact in his cell phone for your name...what I mean is ..change your name in his cell. Just de-tach yourself as much as possible..5 people knowing is just too many man, next time..just you.

Take care

Next time JUST ME

I learned this.. I think I may end up sticking it out as my partner looks like he will want to stick out with the OH X SK #1's. I don't have a place for my equipment left and might as well crop out what I have. We will see though..

one suggestion, could you gift the house owner with the skunk x haze?
he becomes a vested partner, or give them to your friend, maybe a split between the 2 of them

Probably not a good idea.. he'd have no idea what to do with them haha
thanks for the input though!

bro your never there....if the pigs came through the door that old strange weird guy will get shafted.

pack up shop,,the damage has already been done....or cut down the long flowering plants & finish the 1s that are nearly ready ...

and please next time RULE #1

keep it green
highlander

Thanks for stoppin through. Rule #1 will be enforced strictly next time

time for a fire sale.

you have compromised your security no matter what justifications or mitigating circumstances exist the simple fact remains the sirens are blaring and the red lights are flashing the loud speaker is blaring "SECURITY HAS BEEN BREECHED LOCKDOWN WILL INITIATE IN T. MINUS 60 SECONDS."
they may not be able to tie you to the grow...but again "SECURITY HAS BEEN BREECHED LOCKDOWN WILL INITIATE IN T. MINUS 59 SECONDS."

Was this really necessary?

Something about "I'm the bank. He's the grower" always sounds like something fishy waiting to happen.

I'm the bank, he's the real estate basically.. We are both new to growing although I've done most of the research and know more than alot of growers with my length of experience.




Thanks for everyone helping out!
