I was caught...

Im not going to say much, I took it like a man, took all the responsibility and did not get mad or agitated in the least. I accepted the punishment.

For 2 hours straight non-stop not even a one second break just trashing everything, I filled atleast 6 huge black trash bags. I was thorough and even threw away a bong and old stashes of stuff... every clipping all gone. Everything.

I have an idea of who it was... and suprisingly I dont think it was the person who blurted it out in the first place... I think it was one of my good friends who betrayed me... things have been weird too much tension between friends. But a rat is what we are not... or atleast I thought.

I dont know who to trust... I may end up losing all of my friends.

You guys were right, I should have gotten rid of it... although the way it was I could not have gotten rid of it all anyways...

I never got around to killing all of the vegging plants I was going to do it as soon as people left so I could go in and kill em.


When I drove home I made a lap around the col-de-sac as usual to park my car next to the house, and driving by I saw my room light on, and I was like oh man I know what happened. Walked into my room door was gnared up... they were smart and removed the hinges nail thing, and just pulled the door off not bothering with the lock.

Its over, I wont be around here anymore.

Good bye everyone, it was great while it lasted. Thank you for warning me, and trying to convince me of what I should have done. Thanks for all the help and encouragement.

Peace.

fuck...you will be ok, get a job if you don't have one, and at least you are going to prison, getting caught by parents at age 18 may be a sign that is was time to go. I moved out the day I graduated high school. And look at me now!!!!! wait that might not be the best example...

Well actually a lot of people knew about it, but no one is a rat, weve all known each other and toked for such a long time, we have never gotten in trouble for pot before, and weve smoked pot daily for over 2 years... didnt really think there would be a problem... man was I stupid.

I actually think my dad called someone elses dad getting pissed at there kid blaming drugs on them because his dad got caught with a shit load of coke and pot awhile back, Huge bust down the street... and his kid knew about my grow since he overheard about it during the fight... I think when my dad was yelling at him he argued back that his son had a fucking grow in his closet, or something like that... just because my dad was attacking him saying he was the reason there were drugs around here... (my dad found out about pot smoking going on around here the day before my grow was caught)...

Its true you cannot trust anyone knowing about your grow, I was suprised the almost 3 dozen people that knew about mine.. i didnt get caught sooner... but the main problem is if you get in a fight your fucked, they will rat you out, even if its not intentional.

I am done growing for at least a full year, I will be long gone and moved out before I grow again. I dont want to do it in an apartment either... I am thinking when I have a house.

Beta did actually have bud on it, today would have been 1 month into flowering. Beta was the last of the juicy fruit strain for me too... I woulda been happy with an oz or 2 yeild, I am sure I would have gotten atleast an oz.

but yeah all my equipment is trashed, every single spec of the grow was trashed, every CFL, cord, meter, bulb, fixture, nutes, soil, pots, all in the trash. Even the hygrometer - trashed. 15+ CFLs just tossed in the trash. T-12 and the tubes in the trash. Fan - in the trash. ... i have absolutely nothing.

When I do grow again, it will be simpler, a T-12 for veg, and a HPs for flowering :D. But thats a long time away.

hey brother sorry i havent been around to support you for a couple weeks....

i was pissed when i heard your grow was compromised...

but listen all that work and money and time and blood, sweat, tears everything was not even close to a waist!!!!
you now have the knowlegde to grow a great cannabis whenever you decide to do it again.. shit maybe you wont grow for years from now... but i garuntee when that day comes, when youll be able to grow whatever you want ,when you want, how you want,(no more growing with cfls in a fucking closet) you know what im saying?! when the time is right you can dedicate a whole fuckin room to a grow if you want! when you have a job you can dish out all sorts of cheddar at the project. and youll grow bigger and better than you could ever imagine!! it will be worth all of that work you shed over these past months.....when you are growing some sick bud in the privacy of your own fuckin place!!

no parents breathing down your neck. no friends tattle telling on your ass like a little fucking punk... just you and your plants..... i have a dog, he is the only living thing that knows i grow.... you should do similar. the crazy thing brother.. im not that much older than you ... it seems like along time befor youll be able to grow... but the time will come faster than you think... if you have to spend some time in the slammer because of this whole thing, well that is really unfortunate.. hopefully you wont be subject to that because some little fucking highschool kid ratted you out to save his own ass....( which by the way your better than me) cause if someone ratted on me like that the cops wouldnt ever find the body!!

if your looking at doing some time i hope the judge goes easy on you.. i mean shit youd think they have bigger fish to fry than some small as grow in a closet but whateve.... get a good lawyer.. go into debt if your parents wont pay the legal fees.. but a top notch lawyer will keep your ass out of jail.

if you go to jail because of this, dont let the system darken your soul. jail is a nasty fucking place and can turn you into a nasty fucking person. dont let that happen..most importantly dont let this stop you from growing..............if you do time becuase of this little grow you have become a fucking freedom fighter.... fight the power and as soon as you get out and go through probabtion and get your life back in order than go buy an hps, some buckets, and seeds, and Grow....

i really hope you arent getting any sort of legal ramifications for this. but if you are power to you brother.!! keep your head up... keep to yourself!!!! draw alot !!!

i have really enjoyed helping you and watching you turn into a cannabis grower.. hopefully youll be back soon... take care of yourself brother!!!!!

I wonder if anyone remembers me. I posted so many pictures of my last grow, one each day, I forgot how long it went... maybe 3 months... but eventually got screwed up, the setup was a pain in the ass, on the floor, no space anywhere, falling apart daily. The plant ended up dieing because the roots were to constrained, the pot was too large already, and another transplant would be impossible... no way I could have got it out with even 1/4 of the roots, and I would have had to go outside to do it... no way it would happen...

last time the seeds were crap, and bag seeds...

I use a soil medium, the miracle grow crap, its the only decent stuff around here, and hey it works.

well im starting again, just decided to last Friday spontaneously. This time I have juicy fruit seeds, bag seeds though. The bud was amazing and smelled so strongly of juicy fruit gum... not many seeds... but I germinated about 5, and planted 4 in 3 cups, all 4 sprouted and i removed the extra one in the cup that had 2 sprouts.

I already have a bunch of lights, I wired my own 5 socket vanity light strip to an extension cord, works very nicely. I made a reflector out of cardboard, that will work perfect, and angle right over the lights perfectly, since I use the Y socket things, for 2 bulbs per socket, and they angle right down on the plant... dollar general was out of mylar so im fucked for the time being... might layer some white paper for now...

this time the grow is a bit different, heres why it will probably be more successful than the last one haha...
- I know what I am doing from the very start, not 2 weeks into the grow like last time.
- The setup is so much nicer, on a bed stand type thing. Hot glue definitely helps a crap load since its easier to attach cardboard together with that, than duct tape... the tape just falls off easy haha.
- I am attaching my main set of 5 lights to a reflector, which will have an adjustable height over the plants, so I can grow these plants wayyyyyyyyy taller... I have about 4 times more room in the height department haha, and if it gets too big I can move it to the floor and get an extra 2 1/2 feet.
- Closets cleaner
- I have a bunch of cardboard
- Got a car
- Have money
- Already have a crap load of lights with tin can reflectors I made...

This grow is gonna be done completely with CFL's, and plenty of them. Its winter here, so my closet is pretty cold, the lights heat the room to room temperature, warmer near the plants... so thats good... heat did become a bit of a problem last time.

So it has been 1 week since I germinated. There are 3 sprouts currently, both have there first set of leafs - the round ones forgot the name... and started the first real set of leafs.

Replies and comments are wanted :).

Grow Calender
Dec 14, 2007 - Germination Started... around 6-9pm. Moist paper towels used, with plastic wrap, on my cable box.
Dec 15, 2007 - Checked it about the same time, not germinated yet.
Dec 16, 2007 - Fully germinated, planted in cups filled with mirical grow that I already watered and let sit. I covered the cups with plastic wrap lightly.
Dec 17, 2007 - Nothing.
Dec 18, 2007 - 1 sprouted, attempted digging at the others... nothing.
Dec 19, 2007 - All 4 sprouted, extra sprout was removed. I moved them under 2 CFL lights, 23 watts each just temporary. Watered lightly.
Dec 20, 2007 - Set up the vanity strip of 5, which only has 3 y sockets = 6 cfls currently, right above the plants. Watered again more than last time.
Dec 21, 2007 - Showing more growth, 1 plant got tipped, hopefuly I saved it. Started working on the grow setup more... making room, etc...
Dec 22, 2007 - About 1am added the fan, the grow "box" was very hot, and I think the sprouts have been stressing from it. Now noon, the "box" is much cooler... still not much growth.
Dec 23, 2007 - Lighting strip is fixed, and reattached.

Lights Calender
Dec 19, 2007 - Sprouts started, and put under 24/0, 2 CFL, 23 watts each.
Dec 20, 2007 - Put under the vanity strip with 5 sockets. Only 3 sockets used, Y splitter in each, for a total of 6 CFLs over 3 cups [2 ea]. Watt stats later. 4 Out of the 6 CFLs have coke can reflectors. Still on 24/0.
Dec 22, 2007 - Added 1 more CFL on the gooseneck lamp, total of 7 now on 24/0.

Dates To Remember - just random things... not plant related haha.
Dec 17, 2007 - Was blinded by ice on my windshield getting onto the highway couldnt see a thing ran my car off the road into 2 white pole things and then got back on the road... fucked up my bumper... I was really baked at the time too haha.

Day One -> Dec 20, 2007.
