I regret to inform everyone that this grow is no more. I'm a friend of tokinsmokin and he doesn't have internet right now. Unfortunately he was forced to destroy his grow about 3 weeks ago but he did manage to avoid getting caught by the man. I dont know how long till he will be able to post again but I thought since people are probably curious I'd let you guys know. When he gets internet again I'm sure he'll stop back by and let you guys know what happened. I wont go into details but somehow a leak of some sort coming from his apt (he couldn't find out if it was from his buckets or not, he didn't seem to think so). Thank God he's free though, could have been a lot worse

icough - thanks for posting this. Best of luck to tokinsmokin, sucks that things like this have to happen.

I WAS CAUGHT IN ACTION! BUSTED! well I actually got lucky, I woke up one morning I believe it was the beginning of flower and There was a small spot on my floor like someone had dumped water on the carpet, this was about a foot away from my main res and any bucket. So I grabbed a towel and started to soak up the water, well after 5 towels and a blanket I realized it was probably from a bucket some how. I sat there trying to figure out how a spot on the floor would get wetter and wetter but show no connection that its coming from a bucket, I was stumped!

Well next thing you know it I get a knock on my door, OH SHIT! BTW I'm on the second floor, so I know exactly what the knock on the door is for. I open the door and the maintenance men say there is bad leaking coming from your apt. we need to come in right away. I say to them hold on I'm going to have to move a bunch of boxes, come back in ten minutes. Whew I may have saved my self on this one. So I go back to start cutting my beautiful Bogglegum and 1 Ak47 down, half way through the process, I get another knock on my door, I open up and there are the maintenance guys again, saying to me "We need in right now, or we're going to call the cops." So here I am about to wet my self because I know I'm going to have to show them my grow! Next thing you know it the two maintenance men are standing there looking at my plants, This was the wierdest feeling ever since just yesterday everything was running smoothly with no leaks. One of the guys tells me that I should get everything off the premise, and I ask are you guys going to call the police? one of them says well I'm going to have to tell my manager what the leak was from and the other says No Way I'm not calling the cops, just get everything out of here as quick as possible.

Right after I close the door I run back into my grow room and cut all 5 of my plants and stick the net pot and plants into two trash bags, it was a mere couple of minutes before everything was out of my apartment and I'm running with these stinky garbage bags that are leaking everywhere since they were just in hydro buckets. I jump in my car along with a few other items like a scale and a few other illegal substances. So now I'm driving down the road freaking out with what happened, while driving with 5 plants in my car and other substances that could put me away for some time. I drive a good ways away into the middle of no where to dump the plants so that it can't be traced back to me. After I get rid of the plants I'm some what relieved that I'm pretty much clean. Other than the 5 bongs, scale, ounce of bud, and other substances that are in my car. I feel better, so I drive back to my apartment and right before my apt. I see a cop, thinking ok well turns out they did call the cops or are just waiting for me, luckily I was wrong! I sat around all day thinking wow I got off of that one, Then I get a letter from the apartment building saying I have been evicted and have to be out of there in 3 days, I turn the page and it says I owe 5 grand to the apartment for all kinds of bullshit.... Theres more to the story but thats all for now. Next part is intriguing as well.

 

[sysprog]

That is bs dude! Sounds like they are looking to extort you...5k my arse!!

 

[KingRalph]

interesting, lucky too. there's no evidence so feel free to dispute that 5 grand extortion! those places always try to extort reg people too, so it wouldn't be anythin unusual. have at it! and glad ta hear you're okay

 

[Mercer]

wow the buckets look great, looks like alot of time went into all that! good luck - ciao

Yea the rotating fan’s work great for me, I mostly use it to serve two of the greater purposes of running a Bio-Reservoir ~ the one is pushing fresh air 02 in the res to be mixed up with the turning process of the water-fall-effect ~ and the other is to pull the excess gases out of the res, this is critical during the flowing stages ~ this will be my first run like this but not with using a fan, I have always used a fan to blow over the top of my reservoir.

Will a little fan blowing in 69 degree a/c'd air work as well or should I get a bigger fan Big Toke? Oh and TokinSmokin great freaking job man gotta love them roots!!!!!!!!!!!

The second part of the story happened the next day when 3 undercover cops showed up at my door, supposedly no body had told the cops but some how they found out and came o knockin'. Luckily I had prepared for this and moved everything out of my apartment which took the whole previous day, I looked through the eye hole and I didn't see anyone there, I had a feeling when I opened the door there would be stinky pigs prowling me, turns out I was right. They said they needed to come in and I said wait give me a second, next thing you know the 3 of them are in my apartment without permission scowling through every room and trying to get into whatever they can, again without permission. They said they were looking for meth labs and they'd heard rumors of something going on here. The main cop kept feeding me questions trying to make me stumble and catch me saying something I shouldn't, again this is something I prepared for as a grower, what I would say and what I wouldn't. Its much different when your in that position trust me and there isn't much you can prepare for considering its also what they prepare for. They didn't have permission and went through literally everything in my house, but to stay there they had to have me sign a letter of permission which would allow them to probably rip everything up and leave the place looking like a robber had come through. I will never forget the main cop saying do you have explosives in here, keep your hands out of your pockets you could have explosives, don't sit down you may have an explosive under the couch. There were a few things in my apartment that weren't right and they noticed them which were holes in the wall from A/C venting and Intake for my grow room along with a huge pvc pipe and Overgrow browser open on my computer which I got rid of before they looked. There was also this weird smell which could contribute to them thinking of a meth lab but it was from my leak of nutrient solution from the previous day. These guys were dicks they ripped up my cigarettes and left that all over my bed and grabbed my wallet and pulled every card out of it except for an old fake ID that they didn't find (luckily). They were looking for me to get mad and loose my cool, The main guy started to loose his cool when I wasn't cooperating with him and kept smiling at him like this was a joke. One thing he asked me was "Do you think I'm a Dick" and I responded with no your just doing your job while I smiled back. I could tell I was royally pissing these guys off. But luckily they finally left and said to me they'll be keeping a close eye on me.

tokin that really sucks man but i'm glad u were able to bail ok, look forward to hearing about the rest of it...

 

[BigToke]

Will a little fan blowing in 69 degree a/c'd air work as well or should I get a bigger fan Big Toke?

mrwags ~~ that should help a great deal…………

tokin ~~ you are a lucky man and I am glade you are safe………………I think you’ve did a good job of everything especially the part of just keeping quite ~ and as far as the math thing goes in some states in the US they don’t need a search warrant, that’s why they said math.

 

[sysprog]

Tokin, too bad you didn't have a phone book opened up to the dozens of pages of lawyers...lol,
Nah, best bet is be as co-operative as is reasonable and stay cool. Then if anything ever comes from it, they will tell of your demeanor and attitude, which in your smart case is in your favor. Glad they didn't find anything and that you are good. Time to chill out for a while....I'm sorry this has happened but thankfully it looks like blue skies are still in your future!!
