This is an odd situation I'm in.
Preface:
I've been working on a grow outdoors with a few people, I trust them a lot. But one of them who used to live with me got kicked out and threatened to call the DEA. But he never did, and I never heard from him since. I still talk to his girlfriend though behind his back since me and her are good friends.
Anyways, I've been out of town for the past week on a job. My grow is about 40 plants off n the woods a bit off my property. I have had my friend go back and check on the grow. He checked it last wendsday, and it was all good. Our biggest plant was about 7 feet tall, nice cola bud forming. 2 next to it about 5 feet tall, no big cola buds forming, but they were growing nicely. A few super cali haze also in the area which were about a foot and half each with nice cola buds forming. And also a bunch of mids plants. I had a thread up on another account that I request be deleted for security issues so some of you may have seen it.
Anyways. My friend had checked on the plants last wednesday, all was good. I know he wouldn't take them because he invested a lot of money into this and the stuff that went missing was only around $300 of fertilizer sprayed bud that would have developed into 6 oz+ or so easily.
I got back yesterday, and went out there, and in the first area I'm looking around, a few plants look like an animal ate the top off. The stem was brown like someone/something cut it. A few buds were still on the plant. Out of 10 plants in the first area, 3 had had something cut off the main cola. I noticed they were shorter.
I went to the area up hill with the bigger plants, and I noticed the plant that was 6 foot, is now only 4 feet. Someone cut the main part of the cola off, that hadn't even come close to finishing. I believe it was a thai haze, or some solid sativa.
The 2 next to it that were 4-5 feet tall, were missing. Upon closer inspection, I noticed they had been ripped up and smashed into the ground. Gf at least 6-7 ounces. One of the smaller ones someone paid us to take care of also got torn apart and peices cut off it. it lost a good few grams and has no growing potential now.
I investigated further and in the next area in the dense forest I had 2 Unknown Indica-Sativa hybrids bushy and 3 feet tall, next to 2 small super cali haze autoflowers that were about a foot tall, with bud all up and down the stem.
The 2 super cali haze were gone.
So, someone ruined our crop and selectively stole the branches/stems with the most dense bud.
At first, I get paranoid, call my friends. We at first think it was police. But the more I think about it, I doubt it. To get to the area they would have to trespass. several properties at once. I have security cameras set up in front of my house and they sure as hell didn't come in my driveway.
So, i'm thinking, if it were police, they would have had to helicopter down. Thing is, there's no boot tracks anywhere. as someone would have roping down from a helicopter into muddy ground. Thing is, why would police only take a certain amount, and the most dense buds out of all the plants.
In my mind, someone came at night with a book bag, and got what they could carry. This kid who I kicked out of my house for several bull shit things, hated me, and would very easily do this. I also found out by talking to his girlfriend, that he is SICK!
Is that odd to you guys? A few days after buds getting ripped, buds that had been sprayed with fertilizer a week prior, one of the suspects got sick? He is easily in walking distance of my house and the paths to get to the crop.
I'm more worried about police. This kid could continually come back at night and take more and more. Police, could have set cameras up, which if thats the case, they already saw me. But I think the evidence points to this kid coming at night and taking what he can take.
What do you guys think? This kid is going to get his ass beat because he cost several investors into this project thousand+ dollars that we wont get back now, and he ruined several of our main yielding plants.
My other theory is that cops did helicopter down somehow when I was out of town, broke a few plants, but left some to catch me when I come back. But somehow I doubt this because why would cops selectively cut the most dense buds out of 40 sum plants? The area, the way the forest is set up, they would have to have roped down from the helicopter into a 8footx8foot area. I can tell no one landed in the surrounding brush because it is way too dense and I would have noticed if someone tromped around in it. It's filled with briars, and ticks and other shit and is about 4feet high.
I live in north carolina, and usually only crops messed with are 6000+ plant ones. Would police even mess with 39 or so plants in the middle of the forest, with the entire crop probably yielding no more than a pound at finish. IF that. Now it will barley yield 2 ounces, IF that and I don't even think it's worth the risk of tending to them anymore.
