cops come over...kid gets 20 percent of harvest.

I kicked my bitch sister out of the house last week and she came over with the cops a few days later to get the rest of her shit. So im chillin in my garage and one of the officers wants to see my recommendation, plants everything.
Apparantly in this county they only allow to have 12 immature and 6 mature plants and 8OZ of smokeable. However i have a reccomendation that specifically states that that limit is not sufficient for my needs. I should be allowed to grow 10 mature plants and 20 immature and posess 3lbs of product processed or not. But these cops didnt honor that recommendation and I called the dea and they told me that im not allowed to have that amount period, despite that the law states otherwise. Even my doctor whom i called said that these cops dont know thier shit, but the DEA saying the same thing. I definately dont want to break the law. luckily i only have 12 plants in my veg closet right now.
So after the cops leave i was chillin out with a neighbor friend and her boy friend who is 20 and shes like 53. Anyway, he told me that we could hook up as growing partners so i could have my 9 plants and he could have his 3 (thats 3 more plants that have to go into my grow room). For flowering I use a 16 sq.ft. x 7ft high sun hut with a 1000 w hps. So he said out of 12 plants that would go into my room, he wants 20 percent. originally I only wanted to flower 9 plants. Now that hes my "partner" and all the growing shit is mine and i pay electricity and everything else and there is going to be 12 plants in there, is 80-20 too much? Am i getting screwed? give me some comments.

do you think that you can get more out of his 3 plants than you'll have to give him?

is he asking 20% of everything, or just his 3 plants. depending on what you do with them (meaning all personal or not), I would not even bother.

do the math, you only want to take it on if it benefits you.

yeah Im doing all the work. All the equipment\growing supplies are mine. I was doing this thing completely independent before the cops showed up and told me the doctor doesnt supercede the DA. Even though my recommendation would probly stand in court, i dont even want to take it there.
As far as the partner, he said he wants 20%. But you guys have raised some good points. What other variaBLES ARE THERE that i should consider? Im only flowering 12 because I get 6 and he gets 6, but I want at least 9 plants or more.
I knew I should consult with RIU before i started this.

so right now you only get 6? and he can add 6 more? I would definately make him chip in somehow, even if it's just cash for the electric bill or something. can't let him get away with that for free. all he has to do is allow you to get 6 more plants, but gets 20% of what you grow.... it totally depends on the numbers..... do all the calculations on how much you would yeild, how much you pay in bills and supplies, and see if it would be to your benefit, if not, make him grow his own.

Shit, sometimes getting ? friends ? to chip in is like talking a lobster out of it's shell........Fucking useless...easier to piss up a rope

tell the dude to grow his own. I think you can only lose. Does he even know how to grow? If not, he'll be using your equipment AND you knowledge and he's still making out like a bandit because it will be up to you to make sure he's taking care of the plants. Too much cost and not enough return. Just give him the 3 plants for his own and tell him to grow them for himself.

the thing is is that he really sounds like he knows his shit....says hes been around growers all his life and he just turned 20. I however have been at this now going on a year next month and i trust myself more than I would him. The reason is because Ive only seen shit shit shit weed that hes grown, even some that didnt even get you high and it was wet, YUCK! The only thing ive seen thats even worth mention was like a tight little papa purple nug that his last growing partner only threw him a half ounce of it. Talk about a royal ass fucking. but this dude is homless, lives in a dump house and aint got a damn penny to his name besides his 53 year old girl friend who he makes out with on my couch every day. She hooks him up all the time. And he seems to be in this circle of house punks between the ages of 17 to 20 thats all within a 4 block radius of my house. My neighbors directly accross my back yard, thier grandmother gets wasted and takes ecstacy with her underage grand children and thier underage friends. cops are always over there. last summer people would hop the fence and run through my backyard because there would be cops busting thier party. I sure as hell dont want any part of that in my house let alone my garden.

Just my thought here, never grow with anyone especially a neighbor. They come and go all the time and he may go sooner than later and he may even go with the entire grow when you least expect it.

I've been there done that and it never works out when it comes to weed. Protect yourself and the best way to protect your own interest is to do this alone.

The neighborhood is not safe and most of the time neither are neighbors especially if the neighbothood is covered with rentals. Remember "good fences, make good neighbors" Robert Frost wrote that.

Hope i did not burst any future plans or hopes of growing togetherness but saftey first.

Sounds like a bad situation all around. I wouldn't get too close to this dude, he has nothing to offer you. No friendship, money, growing ability, nothing. His circle of friends are suspect and if you become partner, guess who is now part of his circle? You. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

We are only trying to keep you safe, Anhe. Prevention is everything!

So he tells me if he goes to jail to serve time i'll get to keep his script and he has like five months left on it. I just put 4 34 inch skunk #1s in my brand new flowering room and he came over and gave me a hand (couldnt have done it alone...and he helped me paint the room) hooking up the ducting and hanging my bad ass 640 cf/m blower i got on the 1000 watt hps.
And right now im in haste to grow my 9 plants and if that means hanging this kids reccomend in my grow rooms, shit, maby for one season...give him a try.
I know a lady with ms who i would much rather grow her plants for her but she already has somone doing it I guess.
I like the give him 3 plants idea. Shit that would solve the whole damn thing.
