Why growing with partners wont work...let's hear your opinion

[AlterEgo860]

Posted in 2011 and we are STILL going strong no problems at all!
===================================================

Funny..me and gro-bro been growing together for 3 years, split everything 50/50, he knows a lot about some things , I know more about others, we end up complimenting each other.

Also we happen to 1) be good friends 2) completely trust each other.

He does not drink or use anything except occasionally some smoke he has been 100% trustworthy.

I am *very* lucky and I think my situation is the outlier NOT the norm.

u are extremely lucky.. ive had FAMILY fuck me.. ive had people who had nothing wen they met me.. and because of me fronting them hash and bud.. got them back on there feet.. FUCK ME..

had girlfriends fuck me over.. in more then 1 situation.. because I worked a normal job. and was growing I didn't have enough time for them and it led to a bad breakup.. but wasn't stupid enough to talk about growing!!!

basicly.. u gotta live like n undercover cop.. if anyone finds out your undercover the gigs up.. LOL

Real shit don't do it. You will end up broke or with more legal problems than you want or killing someone

I say unless u can trust this person 100% with your darkest deepest secrets.. and if they have never ever talked about u to anyone bout anything u wouldn't want anyone knowing.. and if u can trust them to not try to fuck your life up .. then hey more power to ya.. I just cant afford it. I rather do my thing with no one knowing.. then have some1 that at any given time could get fucked by police. or something stupid.. just make sure if they call cops they know they are going down.. or if the grow gets ripped or robbed. or raided that its 50/.50 all the way.. from money.. to time spent.. to harvest.. to trimming.. literally EVERYTHING has to be 50/50 or it will never work .. ever.

Ask yourself if you would let that person care for your beautiful n horny 14 year old daughter.

yo
in all the years I be treadin' around this rock I have found that the only brother you can trust is yourself.
Ya'll young bloods with girls and what not knowin' your business you be settin' youself up for troubles if'in that woman gets it in her head you done her wrong, trust a brother who be walkin' those shoes many times over the years and seein' it bring other brothers down.

your business is just that,
your business
keep it that way
ya'll feel me on that?

they aren't as skilled as i am, and i can't teach you how to grow you have to want to learn. i'd rather i'll grow mine, you grow yours and i'll teach you how to fish. you / they just don't have the same experience as you, or you to them. they prolly don't know how long you can let x go on before y happens and how soon after y will z happen? not really something you can teach it's something you have to learn. so if they had the same skill as me they wouldn't need / want a partner.

sorry to hear bout your experiences, truly sucks i know how it feels to have a knife in the spine. but i'll share some wisdom i learned.
"if you are growing weed you have to be doing it for the right reason. if the reason you're growing weed is not because you simply love gardening. then you shouldn't be doing it, and especially not with a partner of any sort. if all you are after is making some money, you should just hang it up now, you might get lucky but eventually you will lose. simply because you have something to lose. if your only reasoning for growing is because you love growing then you can never lose." - me

 

[supermanlives]

if your growing for medicine for you and your med friends yall both can loose. partners fail more than workout

 

[nachoconqueso]

I had a roommate/friend who wanted to grow with me. I paid for everything and he didn't lift a finger while simultaneously bitching about being scared of police every single moment of the day. It was awful. When the crop came I took it for myself. I don't do all the investment, work, and deal with a crybaby pussy to just hand it over for nothing. Who works to pay someone else? Fucking retarded. I'd never partner up with anyone ever again.

He knows I live in a place where marijuana is legal so whenever I come back to that area to visit family him and all the other pathetic beggars come out of the woodwork. The one with the knowledge and dedication is the dominant one. The weak ones will always try to attach themselves to you and once they realize that you have discovered their barnacle like nature, that's when they strike by ripping you off or snitching on you. It reminds of a girl who stops giving it up even though you're paying for all her shit. Ya gotta cut her loose asap.

drama thread.

 

[supermanlives]

no drama,no partner lol well except for pepe does that count? . he was great at deseeding and topping. but he never topped in the right spot.

Women can't be trusted, ever. If youre sleepin with a woman and she knows what you do, you are fuckd twice! Even if by exposing you ,she sends herself to jail, she will do it! Men talk more than women and cant be trusted, ever!

 

[supermanlives]

aah I try not let any women know what I do. they make motels for one night stands. here its cheaper women will let you rent a campsite and bone em. 20$ plus booze ect. yeehaw. I aint saying any more as we got female members .cant wait for spring tourist season its slow now lol

 

[SKUNK420]

No opinion just facts. Current partner feels he has the right to smoke cigs in the flower room and while manicuring over the Trim-Bins (his house & my gear, strains, and know how but its his house and he smokes in-door WTF???? I know my fault for working with him). I thought I had experienced it all but this guy's ignorance has gone through the roof since he found the marijuana growers hand book 3rd edition.
It's been a while since I've posted in this thread cuz I was on my own but now back with a retard.

 

[Redrum92]

IMHO people have so many experiences for one reason : they pick growing partners as buddies, not business partners.

Ask yourself: would I open a restaurant with this guy? Would I want him responsible for paying half my mortgage? Would I operate a commercial farm with him expecting to work 14 hour days in a field? Would I let him hold onto my life savings?

If any of those are "no" then there you have it.

You don't need a partner for hobby growing. You only NEED a partner for 20-40+ plants. If you get a partner for a hobby grow grow expecting him to double the fun... Oh boy..

 

[Schwarzenegro]

Growing partners are bad because even if you end up growing together ok, when or if you part ways that other person will always be curious if you are still growing years later.....

And who knows what path they will travel?

Ha! Nailed it! Feel sorry for guy whose grow partner smokes cigs in the grow room. That is so bone-headed.

We've had same set of partners (4 of us) for our seed company since 2009. Each has an active role in the business and each with their own expertise. For us, it works. Immaturity, greed often hamper 'the goal'.

Never had a problem, a rarity, I guess reading through this thread.

everyone has different ideas and skill sets .if they can get along great if not its better to be alone and know you have your back because your not telling others whats going on between you 2 or 4 or 6 or how ever many .loose lips cause more problems so do parnderships where one feels they are doing more of the work than the other .if its not family I am not having any pardners ever again its better stay friends than ruin it by trying to grow together it rarely works for long unless both are mature honest and aware of all the pit falls involved growing aloha cls
