sooo many things for new growers to learn.. no smell .. no tell.. no show.. no hoes.. no bros.. .. so carbon filter that bitch.. don't tell ANYONE.. buy ur equipment off the net. and when u buy your soil.. buy it.. an bring it in at midnite and equipment into house at midnight. respect your neighbors.. if they have kids.. they don't wana smell it. they don't wana see mad traffic. and they don't wana see u walking around smoking.. so keep your shit together on the DL. do not show anyone PERIOD. .. no hoes is a hard one.. we all like to get laid. or try to have relationships.. but when doing this and growing you need to be careful. u need to not tell them until things are very serious. and do not tell them if u feel like they will ever use it against u . or if they have had used the cops to solve anything in there life PERIOD. kuz it will get ugly.. no bros... well that's easy kinda like no show.. but still do not tell anyone u grow.. don't sell clones.. it only brings attention to the fact that u grow.. on the internet.. try to black out your backgrounds in order to not have anything used against u if anything happens.. umm if you grow in a rental with other renters say a duplex.. on the top floor.. and your running reservoirs or an automated watering system.. make sure u pond liner the floors up to 5-6 inches up the walls.. and make it water tight everywere.. or ull be sorry wen u get busted kuz of a water leak. if your going to skimp an use shitty timers. or shitty extension cords.. buy a setup online that automaticly puts out a fire in your room.. or you will be sorry.. or u can use the right fuckin equipment... lol

if u live in the same house u grow in. make sure everything is put away at all times.. have rooms for your trimming gear.. and ur buds.. and only keep a jar of bud out at a time. don't ever show off how much bud u have..

if ur growing at another house an live elsewere.. I suggest u sleep at the grow house for 2 weeks.. and go for walks early morning.. and around 6pm. see who is leaving. who is coming home.. see if theres sketchy ass neighbors . or nosey neighbors.. make sure to never smoke there.. don't allow it to smell at all. set up cameras.. and set up the dvr or computer.. or both in areas in the house were they cannot be taken if robbed.. I found this safe that had a little hole in the back for wires.. and those are perfect hide it in an area that is barely even accessible .. making sure to watch the inside and outside.. lock windows.. and if needed use tape to make sure they are impossible to open.. a friend of mine.. makes a window box.. put around the windows.. and u can go as far as to put one of those FAKE TVS in there and box it up so even if some1 smashes the windows they cannot get into the house.. reinforcing shit is really easy.. and honestly.. any theif that is making a lot of noise trying to get into the house is usually going to panic and bolt.. so its a good deterant..

when living in the house u grow in. make sure no1 will even need to be on the same floor as the grow for any reason.... and lock the doors. and leave them locked until they leave atleast.

if u grow at a different location. dont bring it home to trim.. trim it on the scene.. get a nice safe or cut a hole in the wall behind a poster or picture. and place ur jars of buds in the wall. so if ur house gets broken into ur weed is at the grow house and ur good.. and if u bring it all to were u sleep to trim . make sure u have it hidden just incase someone robs u there.. never take it all or leave it all at 1 place once harvested. so u dont lose it all at one time. if it happens u wont be fucked completely.


if u need any more ideas let me know...


sorry for writing a book . but hey.. this is what u need to do in some cases to stay safe..

God, what's with you people. If you're gonna have something worked on, IT CAN'T LOOK LIKE A GROW ffs. My extreme condolences.

Not that you should trust anyone else, but if i saw a pm with the equipment i can give you keystrokes. Google would be a better guide so you don't have to trust ANYONE. and your passwords need to be SECURE. Besides, believe it or not, those things are 99% easy to setup.



^-- luckily this is not true. the point of security is to change these default passwords. If one has physical access there are easy way's to reset the hardware back to factory defaults, etc.

Example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=linksys+router+defualt+password
'linksys router default password'

Default user names:
Linksys BEFW11S4, WRT54G: admin
Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Ethernet routers: Administrator
Linksys Comcast routers: comcast

Default passwords:
Linksys BEFW11S4: [none]
Linksys Comcast routers: 1234
All other Linksys routers: admin

So, one finds the reset button (indented, needs a sharp pokey) holds it down for a few seconds, and vua la you have access to just about any linksys. And it's really not that much better for netgear, dlink and so forth.

Now i know i've been talking about wifi routers, but this applies to most other pieces of hardware (even software at times) you will purchase.

If you have a little trouble googling things, http://www.googleguide.com/ will become your best friend - teaches you the art of finding. gl.

Thank You for the information! Do you recommend any specific brand router or?

My experience was; once they were inside they reset everything. If they know you and your cell #, they can track you on your cell and take their time taking whatever they desire! get into the phone, as well! Hopefully, That'll never happen again!:) My passwords change frequently and my cell never leaves home!

I must admit though, when my provider gave me the 'general' purpose reset code for any box, well--there needs to be a better way! I was upset he gave me a very exclusive code, too!

IDk much about all this stuff, so more information on protecting oneself would be appreciated! :) jpt

if you're putting a router in a grow, put it in the ceiling in a box wired in in a hidden plug - where the insulation goes. or in a wall.. but if someone has physical access to it they can reset it, that's the nature of the beast.

sorry for writing a book . but hey.. this is what u need to do in some cases to stay safe..

this is not a book, it is the growers gospel and if anyone skipped reading any word of that -- they need to get their fucking head checked because it is a jungle out there and everyone is your friend until you have nothing left to give... see if they dont bite the hand that feeds

damn skippy no hoes is hard... but you know what else is hard? chopping a 20 lighter at week 3 because the little mommy you'd been fucking is on a rage and threatening to call the cops... only to say "im sorry i was just angry" the next day

the only thing i'd like to mention.. from experience... i had done all of the above, the problem is-- i was unaware that 95% of deadbolt sets if not installed perfectly are completely useless. take time to make sure you have GOOD locks, installed PROPERLY, & your door frames are solid otherwise you will spend a ton of money/time/effort boxing out windows only to have your door kicked in



oh and overgrowtheworld is 100% correct, you may not grow there again. The courtesy of leaving some of your crop was so that you can just barely make it by to grow another round only for the same thing to happen, over and over until you get smart and move

Have you tried those new locks that you can re-set the key in 10seconds? I did and do. I hope they are ok. I had someone try to 'pick' mine, he couldn't. Called a locksmith and he just drilled it off, said they are impossible to pick. But, I have my doubts, some *** will figure out how to get through it.

I don't grow, just happen to be related to sociopaths, I have nothing to do with. So far, almost a year with surveillance camera and nothing missing. but then I live in a plot in high density housing and the vermin have been given written notice to remain off the site, as well; by the managers/owner!:)

But, I do worry of cyber-stalking and change things up every few weeks. Even my phone numbers. Pretty sad when able bodied people are parasitic thieves and living in section 8 housing, driving better cars than me and living off the earnings of broken bodied hard working people! :ying: But then, they can't steal this contentment and happiness! jpt

Never hurts to set up whats called a game cam, hunters use them to scout prey in the woods you can get one on ebay or a hunting goods store, I got one to watch my veggies outside, caught a rabbit eating my veggies.

So as a carnivore I thought what a well fed rabbit I would surley benefit from eating it.

The rest is history.

Game cam.

Peace

lol u gotta realize times are hard.. for the other 99% of us.. n some people have no morals.. no respect for others property..

ive had my door kicked and it made me crazy so I went and replaced the door frame.. and the door.. and also.. don't buy cheap door knobs.. they are easy to pick 1 and 2 they are easy to just break and go in.

73 % of robberies the theif goes in threw the front or back door just by kicking them in. or using a car jack.. u can even bust threw metal doors that are not reinforced by jacking that bitch.. lol

hes a good thing to read

Here's how I'd roll with it.
In my experience, most true scumbags like to brag, and show off their loot. Unless they are moving it wholesale, they are going to be sackin' it out for max profit.
If it were me, in my situation, I'd have one of my good friends (I have a couple, not many), make some inquiries to the people you suspect. He plays hard up, out of weed, and can't score. "Can ya hook me up?"
If he scores a sack of your stuff, well. That's when the fun begins! :)
Maybe the culprit gets caught with a thumb drive of some "short pornography", that he shouldn't have, and/or a stolen firearm, with some of Walt and Jesse's finest, that magically appeared in his car, one dark night.....
Woe to you, muthufuggas.
I hope this works out for. I fear it more than cops. But I'd fear being the punk that stole it more :)
Regards.

No cops, no way, no how, for no reason. If you get robbed, snitched out or what ever the smartest thing to do is lay low, move on, and dont worry about trying to get revenge. Your revenge is still being able to play another day.
If your snitched out to the cops and you end up not getting into trouble or to much trouble, you just got lucky.

another thing.. ive had friends robbed.. and they left the larf taking all the good bud.. then called the cops an reported him.. and he got busted for cultivating. so becareful i also would just shut down everything and say fuck it till moved into new place.

DAMN that's cold
 
I had a friend get robbed by another friend. Broke through the back door, took the money, took the plants, and beat the hell out of the dogs just for good measure. There's some sick people out there. Your spot is burnt. Pack up and move on, but don't give up.
 
immediately clean house. Plant a bunch of peppers or grab basil and root them from an Asian market. Keep nothing you cant eat. Get camera let it record, and crash elsewhere. New lease crib new town or state (med or rec.) Start over, trust no one. It happened on an organic soil run, nothing but 5 nodes +- 1ft and they were lol harvested by jocks trying to be thugs. These college boys did not have enough sense to take the ballast.Caught them red handed and they were terrified lol. All icould think about was cleaning house asap I just knew they were getting pulled over enroute. I know their 1st n last names though. Painful yet valuable lesson learned.

I'm with ydijadoit, just have to give it a good 6-months to a year until they have forgotten all about it......

I have never said this before but your an idiot. crooks don't forget about a score ever, especially a weed and possible cash one. untraceable and most growers don't call cops.and if they bragged to their other crook friends more crooks will be scoping the spot out. your advise is dangerous bro
