Thanks maj.pothead, upgradeshafted and BubsNugs :)


& wow stickynickyz, thanks, now that's what I'm talking about, some real shit right there.

I'm glad you got off with it ;)


My biggest scary moment was very similar, but I don't want to post it on a public forum. I didn't let them in, in fact without a warrant, there's no way they were getting in. However, I didn't say that as it would have provoked them, but what I did have to do was put my foot behind the door when they tried to push their way in.

It was obvious what they wanted, they knew it and I knew it, but they had a hell of a job gaining access, and didn't succeed.

In your situation, there was a technical problem with the phone and that was what they were going off....in my case it was a rat that told them to come to me...

Ok enough said, peace out, and thanks for posting ;)

Well i know im going to get a lot of hell for typing this and no way am i condoning this, because it was very stupid and i definatley should of never done it, so please don't be mean and say what a retard i am i already know this.

Well a friend and I decided to cook up some meth, once we finally got all the supplies (even the anyhydrous ammonia riding w/ that in the car was fucking scary in the first place) We decided to cook it up in a barn outside in a barn that i used to dry out weed in a couple years ago, well we got the first part done were you add the anni to the pseudofed and put the lithium in it, and waited to morning to put the colemans fuel in it and filter and smoke it off. Well we go to the barn in the morning and park the car in behind the barn. We filter it once after pouring the fuel in it and we are standing outside and i see a car slowly creeping down the old country road, so naturally we are scared as fuck and take off w/ all the supplies we needed to finish and the colemans fuel/meth (it is liquid in the fuel until you smoke it off), and got the fuck out of there about 1/4 mile down the road we see a cloud of dust and a car, but of course not just any car a cop car. At this time im thinking i just got off probation not even a week ago and i have about 3-4 felonies that i know of that i will be convicted of. Well my friend floors it and we hall ass all through the country, luckily it was on a dirt road so there was no way the cop could tell were we were going or get the plate #.

Well we are heading back to town once it turns dark, and fuck we run out of gas w/ all the shit on us on the highway, i had to ditch all the shit at a christmas tree farm and we ended up calling my friends dad and explaining the situation, and he found us a ride and we ended up smoking it off at his house, after a long ass day and having a nervous breakdown almost i learned my lesson, stick to what i know best weed.

I cant go into much detail but the scariest moment was when I was checking out a problem in my warehouse and the neighbor told me the cops were on there way. I threw on my helmet, jumped on the bike and took off to find the only two streets out, were blocked by LEO. That was a couple years ago. Maybe sitting in the police car while they got a warrant was the scariest as I ran everything through my mind

Of course being in the basement, anytime working, I get freaked out hearing footsteps, etc. But the worst time was when we were trimming and it was around 10:30 at night. Kids should have been asleep. We hear this noise, then this voice at the top of the stairs. Me and my wife both looked at each like who the fuck is in the house. I jumped up over the couch and took the stairs 4 at a time. Turns out it was just my daughter whos voice was in one of those "froggy, just woke up" modes. She was like, god you guys are crazy.

Years ago got in a loud argument with wife. Neighbors called the cops they came in and stood next to a cab with like 7 flowering plants. Lucky it was ghetto had a blanket over it and I turned off the exhaust before they enetered. I had no smell control and I was certain I was getting busted.I told them my fovorite show was cops which it was and they said go take a walk and come back in 20 minutes and that was it. I was so scared. Any thoughts of ever doing a bigger grow went out the window.

a couple come to mind

DT's come to the house, looking for my wife. Apparently she was harrasing an ex of mine and they was gonna bust here.

The latest, I get to my cottage

I notice the shades are torn down, windows appear wide open

I can ony pray it was kids, or a theft, the best case I lose all my equipment and everything else in the house

I get to the door (with heart in mouth) and when I open it there are 4 squirrels flippin out ripping the place apart

one of them ran up my leg it was horrible.

I am already naturally paranoid. BAD

so this was MAJOR SUCK but i laugh about it now.

My landlord illegally broke into our unit and discovered my med grow but my letter and ID were posted w/my cell number. I got a call on my cell while I was at work and he said "sorry wrong number". I recognized his voice. When I got home I discovered there was some minor bathroom repairs done but my grow and nug jars were untouched. He never mentioned anything and it was 7 months ago.

Grew up with a guy who did major cultivating w/his dad. Now he's police, I called and asked him if I should worry and he laughed and said if I had a letter and was under the county limit its pretty much a non issue.

nothing like coming home and seeing the light on the plants.
of course the HPS is hotter then the MH... my MH's didnt do much damage, but the HPS...phew...







nothing like knowing you could have burned down the place! the burnt plastic smell took almost a month to get rid of(whole house).

theres been a few "holy shit" moments for us.

my brother got busted selling to undercover. he had some of my grow equipment in his house not in use, but had been. i had 99+ at my house. we had been using his place as extra budding area.

at my place we started to tear it down and couldnt. ended up taking clones to another local and cleaned house. never no cops. we waited a week then back to it.


2/5 gal buckets w/water and 15 cops in the woods. that upset me. kunt bitch wife ratted me out.

Normally I dislike the word kunt, but yeah thats definitely a reason to be using that word, sheit...

me: no real nervousness for all my small grows, except always questioning whether I wired up my fan correctly or not. so far so good!
 
you just get nerves of steal after a while actually...i look back and say shit either im really lucky or i know how to flip bad to good...i know i have been really stupid and not get caught or for instance one time like 18 got pulled over in a car with out of date everything and no insurance...had a bud of skunk my mom gave me for my road trip and a old school metal chamber pipe...pull over get some fast food cause i got cotton mouth and the munchies after hitting some skunk...go through drive through order food ...go to get on highway on ramp is a curly cue bitch that tricked me...i had to turn around in a quicky mart store parking lot...cop pulls rite in front of me i almost hit him...i throw the pipe under the seat and stash the skunk in between the bucket seat and console...cops pull me out smell skunk see stonned kid...throw me in the back of the car...they ask me if thier are any drugs or weapons in the car and i say no...they make me sign consent to search i do...first spot they look is under the seat where i threw the pipe and found it throw it on the roof and looked at me and said what is this..i say it looks like drug paraphernalia...they laugh i laugh i go in cuffs...they tare the shit out of the car letting air out of my spare tire even to take a wiff to see if ganja was in their...im shitting bricks thinking im going to get busted for like 2 grams...they dont find my bud between three of them with flashlights...they come back give me a warning for the tags and let me go scott free minus the pipe...i get to my destination and tell my friend your not going to believe this shit and told him...he said you did not you fucking liar they would have taken you to jail..my friend still thinks i lied about that story 20 years later.i guess because he really new their was a lot more than 2 grams...now i have evolved into a new aged grower that is invisible to all around him..lol...peace

wow, I have read alot of these stories and they are very interesting and crazy at the same time. It is insane how many close calls you all have gotten in.. One of the things that scare me and worry me the most is having my light burn my grow down... I dont know why but I am always so.. worried about it ever doing that. I am glad to be stayin safe and out of trouble for now and I hope forever... stay green and be safe all :joint:

My 13 yr old came downstairs to the basement and caught me staring at my gro-box, door open, hps lite just a streaming out...

I was fried - snippin' and puffin' - but managed to cool everything with him, and it's never been discussed again.

Grow had to go, tho' (no rhyme intended)

Your an idiot to have your kids in a house where your growing. Some father figure you are and to post it makes you even a bigger idiot. Dont mean to be a dick but i love kids and keep that part of my life completly separated. Its funny how members talk about growing with there kids in the house. How dumb would you feel if leo raided your home and the look on your kids face when they carry out in handcuffs.
