The biggest issue you face is if you tell buddy to beat it and he get attitude he has all the power to fuck you over .(theft & or LEO)
Might be best to have a partner who is a dick head and his bitch think your all good with them until you harvest than to create waves this season .
Once everything is in you can just tell him your thinking of taking a new direction yada yada !
Reduce Drama man , don't sat shit about his poor judgement or anything just reduce contact slowly , you can create a situation once your plants are in to blow him off .
That's my advice 26 years growing this plant don't show your cards Brother

don't diss the guy for reasons posted already.
unfortunately ive been in a situation somewhat like this when i was younger.
you don't have many options but you still stand a chance to harvest if they don't blab to others.
since they both know keep them close to you and in the loop.
be sure to tell them when you plan to harvest and of course they're invited to go along.
and then you chop chop 2 weeks earlier.... tell em your so disappointed you've been ripped you give up on farming.
then ditch that run his fuggin mouth idiot

Best to keep it cool, and then part ways after the season.

If you're anywhere that's not medical/legal, then there is a zero tolerance policy on sharing grows with those that don't need to know. I always thought about what an idiot I would feel like if I got locked up because of someone who had no need to know about the grow. My policy was if you weren't helping me, then you didn't need to know.

No disrespect to the west coast, but attitudes out here are super lax(for various reasons). Even with the legal consequences reduced, you can still get robbed.

Some people can't be counted on to respect you.

I actually had a sign hanging on my wall for years that read "Friends of friends cannot invite friends" -HST

Just keep cool, don't show that it bothered you. But somehow you gotta part ways with them eventually. Some of us have to be almost hermit like when it comes to this, but its worth your freedom and safety. I am more concerned of rippers and home invasions etc. Good Luck you should be good.

One time in the early 90's I was in a similar situation. It was my first outdoor grow. I found out my "friend" had been blabbing to quite a few people about our spot. Turns out the guy was planning to rip me off and the girlfriend came and told me. Then his best friend that had the van big enough to move some plants told me the same thing.

We only had six plants each and where going to split the harvest. So I took my six plants away and left his there. Luckily I had them in 5 gal pots and moveing them further into the woods was doable. Unfortunately the replacement spot was not in full sun and my yield suffered quite a bit. Plus when I moved the plants I stressed them pretty bad and they got infested with those little pain in the arse premature seeds. Lesson learned and friends lost.

But point was in the one case the fuckers girlfriend and the other dude he was trying to get to rob me ratted his ass out. At least it worked in my favor once! Cool people are out there!

Best of luck broslice!

Be careful how you tell him to fuck off. Worse thing than some random chick knowing is her turning into a random bitch that knows. Kitten gloves.

Well, a guy I partner up with on larger grows from time to time and get to help me with my smaller ones just outed my grow to his latest (4th in three years and only dating for less than a year) hussy.

......

A week later I meet up with those two for dinner (my treat as compensation for him helping me) and she starts talking about the excursion that she took with him to my grow spot. It was obvious he didn't want her to let on about him bringing her, as he shot her a look that clearly said "keep quiet".

He's done. Here's how you handle it. You ride out the work that you're doing now continuing the same trend of him working with you. You convey to him in private that you're not happy or comfortable with him not only telling, but literally SHOWING your grow to someone who is outside of the need to know basis due to LEO and potential theft issues. You tell him that it has you unnerved and that these are going to be your last grows for some time due to your anxiety.

Then you solo it. And you do everything around solo'ing it, which includes figuring out how to make your water situation work (bury a tank?, use hoses?, grow near streams where you can hide equipment for irrigation). You never grow in the locations that this guy knew about ever again. And try to stay on good terms, but it's up to you to keep your trap shut with him then. If he asks if you're growing again, tell him no that you have some one you're getting it from. Be careful about even selling to them after this.

My S.O and I have a relationship like jill and subcool does . Shes fully capable of growing in any medium clones her own cuts ect . Ive also been with my lady 20 yrs so I guess that is the difference in my situation . That wasn't cool if only his chick for a year. Id wait until harvest time . don't want to invite anyone to rip u off over being pissed off

It'd be interesting to know what happened after harvest.. the OP has not logged on since the day he started this thread.

Well, a guy I partner up with on larger grows from time to time and get to help me with my smaller ones just outed my grow to his latest (4th in three years and only dating for less than a year) hussy.

I needed some help getting water out to my grow since my day job has had me traveling this week so asked him to lend a hand. I wasn't around when he showed up but left the jugs of water that needed to be carried to the grow spot out for him..

A week later I meet up with those two for dinner (my treat as compensation for him helping me) and she starts talking about the excursion that she took with him to my grow spot. It was obvious he didn't want her to let on about him bringing her, as he shot her a look that clearly said "keep quiet".

Pretty irritated about this. In order to access the grow spot they had to have come to my property, so now there is one more person that knows I grow. I've met her before and don't really have any issues with her, but there was simply no need for the guy to introduce her to the fact that I grow.


I hate to be a dickhead, but I'm simply going to have to tell the dude to not come around anymore since he has such a lackadaisical attitude towards security issues.

I know some of you have S.O.'s that are in on your stealth grows, but how many of you that fall into that category would let your S.O. know about someone else's grow??

In the poker game of life, women / partners are the rake.

OP is just like most other peeps in this world blaming other people for the problems HE created. If he had of thought situation through (he even says partner is on 4th gf in 3 years or something), then common sense and some critical thinking would have prevailed and he would have worked alone.

If you got the skills, work alone and never tell no-one. I always laugh at peeps that will partner up with someone increasing their risk of ruin exponetially all for the same yield they would have got working on their own.

Working with other ppl in this game is a massive no no in my world but that's just me. Every single time ive been approached by the one or two ppl who know what i do who want to do it too, it always leaves an extremely foul taste in my mouth. Most people don't listen, have their own ideas backed by zero experience / education, are lazy, argumentative, untrustworthy, loudmouthed, with a massive entitlement mentality.

Work alone, end of story. Any real grower i doubt they disagree with this..

you can mega phone,you can telephone or you can tell a woman ..the words spreads as fast either way....lol...yeehaw ..everyone now knows
 
Am I wrong to think that we shouldn't have to hide like snakes in the grass... Ive been open to showing a few people as I have gotten older. Always people I have known for years and understand I don't want to be in a jail cell... This plant helps many people and I am tired of hiding. America has feared cannabis to long because of the fear generated before I was born. I have open conversations about cannabis with many people and I feel a lot less people feel it should be illegal.... let alone punishable by jail. It truly has healing factors and it should be a crime to prevent people from using it!!! sorry for ranting but hate the fear associated with growing!!!!!!!:tiphat:
