Thanks for all the answers guys. I think I'll go ahead and do what NY General said. I'll just tell him whats up, and quite possibly tell him he should upgrade with the money he was planning on giving me. That way we can give each other different strains and such. I trust this guy not to turn me in, we've gotten busted for stupid shit when we were younger, and he's never spilled the beans. Granted, back then we weren't doing any felonies.

I'd rather not try and tell him that I'm not going to grow at all, since that will only raise suspicion when 5 months down the road I have nice little nugs. All that will do is later when he finds out he would know that I don't trust him, which.. I do trust him. Rather not give him a slap to the face.

NY General said:Now THAT might not be a bad idea(for him......
)
(Can't blame the guy for trying though
Only you know the specifics of your situation, you know....but, if nothing to gain, and your capable of funding and running it yourself, well.....
Simply no reason to.....ya know?......reasons for partnership not present on either side.....
90 days I'm sure
See, that's a problem....because he might think "he took care of you", and, then, your growing and didn't return all the favors, so.......he probably would not know if you were or not, but, ya gotta take care of the guy....
Karma, ya know?......(you say he takes care of ya, big time, so.....do the same.....)
I said 5 months for germ and cure times
I plan on giving it a very nice and long cure, no rushing, I wanna do it right the first time around, although I definately plan on quick curing maybe a 1/4oz of it just to get me started.As for the generosity, I definately plan on giving back to him man. Hell, maybe even gifting some. In fact, he just came over today with another one of my friends that we've both known since middle school and they rolled up a 5 gram blunt. These guys are very generous, and never ask for money. I will definately do the same. But I mean come on, you have to smoke as much of the stuff as possible, got to get rid of it, that shit is illegal!
Right now, he has seeds of 3 different genetics. Northern Lights #5, Power Plant and White Widow. He is currently at about week 3 of flowering on his White Widow. Smells like freshly ground coffee beans

I agree with NY general,if there is no need to form a partnership,then why do it? Besiides friendship and money mix like oil and water!
I also have done partnerships in the past and have had great experiences and piss poor ones aswell.But when it dose go good,it goes really good! I personally enjoy the fact that all your overhead is shared,rent/mortgage,bills,and expensive equipment that can be used for multiple setups such as co2 gens and co2 controlers,nice big water chillers,and other toys I wouldn't have been able to play with otherwise due to the burden of their price all resting solely on one persons shoulders.The way we set it up was we share costs on all the stuff that each of us use,we both have our own different setups,so if one crop He dosen't feel like growing but I do,well his setup sits idle,while mine is in progress.Or if I have a shitty crop or vice versa,it dosen't affect the other persons.It's worked out quite well,as far as responsibilty,we have an understanding that we both agreed to.Keep in mind that we both have known each other for many many years,and have done many legal and illegal ventures together.
At this point,both he and I could venture out on our own,finiacally and knowledge wise,but if it's not broken,why fix it,plus I find it's much more enjoyable growing with some one else.
Theres both pros and cons for partnerships,but in your case I'd say you'd be better off on your own.Less muss and fuss.

This isn't the first rodeo for some of us...and if having a grow partner was beneficial, there'd be a lot of people telling everyone the benefits.
Want friends to smoke pot with? That's fine- have fun and be safe.
Want friends to GROW pot with? Forget it- nothing good will ever come of it. Growing is a solitary lifestyle; growers simply cannot afford to have "friends."

And if you knew he grew , who else does. Most of my best friends don't know I grow. My one friend who does helped me get started and I have known for 26 years.

Man when I saw this thread it brought back some rotton memories,unless you are already involved with someone,dont do it man.God I wish I could communicate to you just how bad a decision it is to include a "partner" in your grow,even your own brother.It has nothing to do with people being good bad or indifferent,I just know from personal experince what a disaster it was for me and I'm sure so many others.Believe me,this is a good longtime friend,and we were no kids both in our forties.This is just not a game for two,plain and simple I'm not talking about being busted or anything like that,if you partner up with someone that will do that well what can I say?I'm just talking about day to day living,you'll find two people growing one crop is like two men trying to share a woman or vice versa,I dont care how close you are either,its going to bring hearetache and you will regret it.Some may have successfully partnered for a long time,those instances are few and far between compared to the normal outcome which is a bummer for everyone involved.When I finally got rid of my partner and began growing the way I wanted with zero input from anyone except folks on the forums,it became so much more enjoyable and in turn my skills improved immensly.Just dont do it man,or 5 years down the road you'll be answering a thread like this in the same manner I am,just trying to prevent the hassle for you

****NEVER PUT YOUR TRUST IN SOMEONE UNTIL THEY HAVE EARNED IT****
that being said if you trust someone with your life, you can do much more with the right partner(s) than alone. however, slow progress is better than none.
that being said, there are only two people that I trust with my life that are not my family, one is my woman and another's doing time... so....
fuck partners

Look at your grow as a business. Business and friendships don't mix. So don't do it. Just remember loose lips sink ships. he tells a friend that friend tells someone else and so on.
Don't let anyone know about your grow. I have learned the hard way a few times now and it is stressfull as hell and a pain in the ass.

I, too, learned the hard way...and as a direct result, I am no longer a grower. The only good, safe way to grow is to do it solo. Besides, you can't have two captains running the same ship.

i respectfully disagree, to a certain extent. i think the key problem here is people just dont understand trust, at least not the way I(many of us) do. I think the problem lies in people's failure to properly scrutinize their "friends". i would never do business with anyone who wasnt a real friend, or at least had my trust.. and there are those that i trust, but am not truly friends with, albeit very few and far between. I take it back when I said fuck partners. what I should have said is fuck friends. if you're not close enough for me to call you my fam im not fuckin with you, periodgarlic city gro said:
true that

Lorax I'm almost 50 friggin years old bro so I'm talking fgrom experience,This "real" friend you talk about will choose his life over yours everytime,believe me man thinking along those lines and growing is just as dangerous as can be.I really hope you think about what happened to formerOGGrower and so many others I've seen it happen to through the years.Yeasterday I wrote a big long paragraph on the subject,but it didnt seem to phase you a bit.Does your "friend" have a girlfriend?I'm sure he has other friends and family also,all those people are unnecessary risks.Life just doesnt surprise me anymore,things that happen that 20 years ago I would be shocked at hardly has an effect on me anymore.I found the secret and its called basically being a hermit with very few friends but a kickass german shephard that loves me more than most any "friend" would lol

i dont give a fuck how old you are, thats on you for putting your info out there. hopefully that was intentional misinformation.
my friend is in prison for murder and he could have given me up and didnt. i dont have to explain shit to you. dont talk about what you dont know about. fuck you.
i dont need to implicate anyone in any activity, criminal or otherwise, to justify why i trust them, to some fucking loser on the internet. you had my respect with your post, and i gave you a +Rep point saying so. and now you lost it.
this is why i stopped posting here, fucking bunch of tools. im done, again.

was it necessary to question and assume about someone you don't know? none of my posts were directed toward him, yet I feel he attacked me directly when he came at me about where I put my trust. so no, it wasnt necessary, and neither is a response to you.
stop worrying about others and analyze yourself: was your post necessary? this is the security forum, you can gossip over in the tokers den.
but I digress, I said im done and im done, I keep letting dumb people pull me back. but frankly, I have no reason to care about what people think over the net, so, think what you want, and you can post what you want free of any reply from me.
