Sounds like my apartment manager knows what's up. What now?

[DIGITALHIPPY]

its still not completely legal in cali man... 1000's of people with suposid recomendations still go to jail.
plus u have added trumped up bullshit to contend with even with only 1 place, such as renting a place to grow
oporating a place to grow
conspiracy to sell(if below)
sales (if scale found or more then 2-3 lbs found)
not to mention cultivating and posession.

this is going to smell good to the database by some DEA meatbag and hes going to want to get his share for getting u

Thanks for the concern, but I'm not here to discuss or seek advice on the legality or "should I grow or shouldn't I grow". So, please, no hand-holding or lecturing about this topic.

There's a million other threads with a million other guys talking about the same thing, and a million other "advisers" who don't even live in California who lecture about how you shouldn't be growing, etc.

No one ever said anything about complete legality, and either way this isn't the thing that concerns me at the moment.

YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED TILL AFTER 420 TO reply after u could cool off...

i happen to live and play in orange county and was talking about people with lagitimate paperwork. alot of counties in Ca dont care. i know people inside for legal personal grows(less then 10 plants), i had a judge tell me himself he dosent recognize prop 215. i even go down to hollywood federal with the protesters to throw pill bottles on the DEA's steps. dont tell me you cant get in trouble.

truth is
i dont know what you should do. its an intresting position. after i had my garden broke into i moved within 2 weeks. but your in a different situation.

he could have just been fishing for a confession with an old story. but who hasnt smoked pot? soo many people.

although they CAN (dont always) get a reward dosent mean there going to kick a good (otherwise) tenant out.

maybe he just wants to know whos living in his units.

or maybe he dosent care. i also cant figure out why youd ask him is ur smoke was bugging him, but hey.
if your happy with where u live then stay you could have the same situation in a new place but with a dickhole landlord. plus moving is expensive/sucks.
chill out and go take a BT...

I apologize if I came across a bit harsh, but I kinda saw this coming where many people would come and try to lecture me about how what I'm doing is illegal, how I should just keep it super small, etc.

I've seen all those threads before, where some guy talks about some idea of a grow op and all the sudden everyone and their pet squirrel from Alaska come out of the woodwork and pitch in their 2 cents about legality, "you're gonna get busted", etc.

I meant absolutely no offense to you; that post was to hopefully keep all the would-be lecturers at bay... because I don't need to read all that again.

FYI - I out-smoke my 600w, when there's enough.

 

[green_grow]

my feeling is .... stay the course .

he knows you smoke, and he suspects you grow . remember, he has grown himself, so he knows the signs. he is cool with you smoking and he seems to be cool with you growing, but i certainly wouldnt want to throw any further clues his way. he has grown before so he CERTAINLY doesnt need to go into a partnership with you in order to enjoy the benefits of growing. dont bring up the topic , let him make the next mention of it.

remember that you are good tenant (i assume) in an area where they are hard to find.
keep the chocolate cakes coming, the rent cheques on time ALWAYS, and maybe pick up some litter from outside the building .

 

[ItsGrowTime]

I say keep doin what you are doing and dont worry about it. Odds are he doesnt know you grow (and probably doesnt even suspect it) and if he is cool with you and you are a good tenant then it makes no sense for him to do anything further. Just clean up things a little (ie. shell out for a quieter fan) if you are concerned about it.

 

[DIGITALHIPPY]

hey clown.

put 2-4 layers os small-bubble "bubble wrap" between ur wall fan and the wall...

sounded like ur 16" was wall-mounted although u didnt say. i know mine is.

it should dampin the sound of vibrations.

good job outsmoking the 600.

you sound like you dont have any big concern w/Landlord

 

[TrustNoOne]

he just wants his share. i'd say you either don't grow or get into a partership with someone you don't know. ya never know though, it might be nice to have somebody look after the place all the time.
i'd think hard about growing at that spot.

 

[TrustNoOne]

he just wants his share. maybe he'd take cash to be quiet and maybe even be eyes for you when you're not around. or maybe he'll take cash from rippers. either way he'll be in your place at some point so ya gotta think hard.
i think i'd find anther place to grow.

 

[TrustNoOne]

heheh,
i thought it didn't post and wrote it again. stoned,,,yep

 

[420inprogress]

After you finish your grow, hide all grow equipment, clean up the place, and invite the manager into your place for cake or coffee or something. Or perhaps get his advice on how to build a loft or your bed. Main thing is: show him that nothing is going on in your place.

Ignore his demeanor about growing weed. He may sound cool, or tolerant about it, but truth is, apartment managers are obligated to report any suspicous/illegal activity to the landlord or LEO.

Also consider the fact that he has a family-do you think he, as a husband and father, would want his children or wife close to someone growing weed? Being young and single and growing is one thing, but when that hits close to home...do you want to take a chance?



Safety first, my friend.

I feel ya bro

I feel ya bro

Hey CT ,
Bro, I think it's just a coinsidence(ms/ebonics). I've had several things happen like to me over the years while growing. It's just paranoia a lil bit I think. Which keeps smart people like yourself out of the way of bullshit. I look at it as a good thing. Hey clown, your apartment sounds like mine a few yrs back. I was sleeping on the floor and all. Damn, you gotta love us stoners Always willing to go the xtra mile

I agree people are quick to preach and give their opinions, but you're kind of coming off a bit too aggressive in this thread.

One thing is a fact man, don't trust anyone. That is a golden rule. You asked if you should approach a manager about renting an apartment to grow MJ even though he clearly said he didn't smoke. What kind of opinion did you want?
Anyone with decency and trying to be a friend would offer the exact same advice as many concerned posters here.

I'm all for the maximum amount of people growing herbs man, but trusting your money, freedom, and flowers to someone with alot to loose if it was dicovered he knew about your operation....you decide ..but don't come on here preaching that people are preaching to you..LOL I'm out, sounds like you already had your mind made up before this thread...

 

[Guest]

He's lived there for awile and has had good relations with his manager, of course his manager is guna tell him he at least knows, from the smell and luggin in of flow tables. IF HE did care he would have confronted ct right then and there or other times even when i came by(and puffed to much), he does live right accross from him in the hall. If he even wanted to evict CT he would just get to have some crackhead move in instead. NO ONE ELSE wants to live there :O, thats his deal if he feels confortable having his faimly come by, he did choose to live there for FREE, or reduced rent.

 

[happyherb]

my landlord came at an unexpeted time oneday and saw a male clone out the back i was testing..i saw him as he saw it while watching him throu the window...he laughed sorta and smiled...he thought it was a big time find and came in to grill me ...i laughed at him and said it was a male plant and was testing it for a mate ect ....said "you dont get no buds off them so realy as good as a basil plant"...he realy didnt care as i thought he wouldnt...hes pretty cool guy ppl have known him around here for years..can smoke in from of him(i dont thou) take him out the back and show him a plant if i wanted(im sure he must have known about the 20 odd out the back of one of the other flats a strange not all there lady that lives here watered them on a hot day even lol and she blabs everything to him...said she dont care aslong as it wasnt the "super weed" lol" tripped us out she watered them for us)...at the time he even said i could grow outdoors he dont care just not indoor...i asked him why but got a lame excuse...outdoor grows are no good here ppl can see and smell just to easy so its indoors for me!

about two weeks later on rent day(he always comes over to get rent...but i dont always give it to him in person but leave it with anouther tenant at times) he sits down and recons he just come from anouther one of his propertys and a guy there was growing indoors and trails off to then says can i look throu your 2 rooms....was thinking i need to just to make sure your not growing...outside ok but not indoors(been living in the lounge room on a single bed , he once questioned me why i sleeped there and not in the bed room, i said bad back + tv and computer in lounge room = i sleep there not wanting to lugg around a big tv around)....i thought...ohhhh crap....one room empty one room modifed lol and full of plants....i said hmmmmm well i aint growing and realy (get this) i feel its an insult to go looking if i say i there are no plants in there.....he looks at me and says ...well can i ? yea sure i say....1st to the empty room...open door see nothing!...2nd door(grow room) put hand on knob...oh wait a sec a mates storing stuff in here i herd it fall its right behind jamed next to the door...i aint gona risk breaking it....i waiting for him to come to do it himself...he say ok i'll have a look next rent day...night b4 he comes i empty the place of plants hiding them....he comes...he wants to look in both rooms again...i sat down and said whatever go for it....he came back in and i said(so ya like the big plants....seee the big lights hanging from the roof...hmmmmm?"....narr narr i had to look he says....no you didnt i said i told you i wasnt and feel insulted you dont take my word for it.....he aploligised took my rent and left...later that night i built the room again and retreived my plants and refiled the room......thou just the other week (about 2 years later) he had to come back to replace a 10 year somoke alarm so had to tear down again did the wireing in the celing a meter from were the covered holes from the exaust was in the end all was cool..

point is he was droping hints/expecting/asking about what he didnt want in his flats....good guy he is....i recon he'd be pissed if he foud out/finds out and i'd be out on my ass.....he had his reasons...do you really want to find out if this guy really dosnt want a grow across from him?

2nd thing growing crops with other ppl.....was told once its a good way to end a freindship and bad idea growing togeather...didnt belive it and found out the hard way...did my best to give my best mate all the help and equipment i could...greeed is the word i gues even before we put them into flower....he thought i was made of weed and cash and i was now being told i was rude not paying for his setup and supplying him all his smoke for him and his mrs basicly...so i ended the with saying never again!!!! goodbye....

many points there ...but your doing ok on your own....just keep moving up bigger and better bit by bit and do those big grows if thats what you want by yourself....again not always true but it was good advice not to go parteners in grows with mates.

that being said....may be nice for him to enter your grow free place when you can have it shut down for a day or 2 after a crop...

get someone to ring up the land owner and ask them that if they were(sum 1 that fits your situation/profile) to rent a flat to me could i grow and see what there position is on growing there just incase you find out that this guy isnt happy with you at some point....

just cause the guy shows some interest if you grow dosnt meen jump in and setup with the guy.....i personaly would never revel or propose a grow with him...

just my thought being put out there....i recon you would be happy to be just doing your thing without possible stress...good luck with it all.HH. =]-~

hope it made sense....i need to sleep lol

 

[clowntown]

No one ever said anything about partnering up with this guy... or anyone... but I did say something about daydreaming only about the possibility of renting an extra unit no questions asked...

 

[Jack Crevalle]

Another thing I'd love to get out of this, but am not necessarily sure I know how to go about it, is if he really is cool with it, then how do I potentially bring up the idea / topic of being able to rent out another studio in this building (there's always a unit or two available every month or two)for living, and using my current unit for growing.

stop contradicting yourself....anyway

Go big, grow wherever, tell the manager, tell everyone, have fun! Funk it!
That's what you want to hear, right?

 

[clowntown]

Jack, you seem to only read selectively, completely ignoring other relevant parts ("daydream of..."), in order to make your own fantasy story more interesting. I'm not going to bother selectively quoting myself, or you, or anyone else, though, as you seem to love doing.

Thanks for wasting your time and everyone else's time sitting around selectively mis-quoting people and failing to comprehend parts you don't want to believe.

This thread almost feels like I'm in the infirmary forum... where you have folks who don't even bother reading past 3 words of the original post and yet taking some random shot guesses at what's wrong. Like... in your second sentence you'd state something like "pH is 5.8", and 15 people would respond later that day with "What's your pH? Did you check your pH? Maybe try setting the pH to 5.8 and see if that helps."

 

[Guest]

I agree clown, I hate when poeple do that... but if you look his feedback is off, probably fro good reason

Well clown I don't think you have anything to worry about as far as your landlord doing anything about it. He knows you smoke, was obviously ok with it... plus he said when he was his age he did the same damn thing. I don't believe someone like that would turn around and taddle on you. For this reason I would consider telling him however...

You do have to worry about it slipping from his mouth to maybe his wife, and her to her friends or to another person, in passing, to make conversation, or even to blame things on a "suspicious" tenant if his ass ever gets chewed. Most people don't really care about a grow but its the spreading of the word, the one thing you can offer to them to hold against you. It will always be in the back of their mind, through the good AND the bad, remember that.... this is no more important than with a landlord.


If you wish to pursue him, I would take a bowl over and tell him he is welcome to it, for old times sake and try to get to know him as a person first to at least know what your dealing with but I would would say never full out admit it. Beat around the bush...I am pretty sure my best friend for 8 years knows I grow... but I have never once flat-admitted to it... if you keep that out of it all they are left with is curiosity and their own thoughts... no support no proof, and most the times its that lack of confidence that could be the difference in saying, **** that asshole; not worth the time or... let me make a quick call...

 

[clowntown]

****, dude, that's some great solid advice and thinking that I would have never come up with on my own.

I think you're absolutely right about the unintentional spreading of the word, and the back of the mind thing.

Gracias, señor.
