Wait, so they came back and ripped the rest? Thats brazen, you better get a 8 cam NVR and watch your house now. They are going to run out in a month. Are you in NH , or can you call the cops? Our local cops go after these guys now with a vengeance, they don't care about plant count. They are not even allowed to pull overgrow per the Chief ( he had 5lb of RKS in his evidence room for 3 yrs, no ventilation)
I’m in ma. I’ve been debating calling the cops. I’m not sure wtf they could do tho? I really don’t know what to do.. even if I catch them on camera there’s no way the cops will get them in time. It’s probably a friend of the person who did it. Mood is disturbed atm. I have work off on Wednesday and my car will be in the shop, I’m hoping I’ll catch them then. Walking around with a pit in my stomach.

Lads, I’m sick to my stomach to find all my tops gone. I KNEW that I should have gotten the camera last night. I can only hope that he comes back now that I’ll be prepared. I don’t know how to feel, feeling disgusted and unsafe. They’re taking more than buds from me.
Really sorry that you got robbed.....but how did they know where you were growing?

Hope you catch them

I had a small patch ripped about 30 years ago. By a man who really wasn't my friend. At the time my only transport was a bike, and my only firearm was a long gun. I spent many a sleepless night trying to figure out how to kill him and not get caught. It took a couple of years for me to get it out of my system.

These days I throw away more from rot than he stole from me, so I'm really glad I never figured out a way to cap him. You just have to be a very good judge of the people you have around you.

Sorry to hear of the rippers... stealing medicine is really low. Fingers crossed here, just a bit of pm and treating with soda dish soap. Few are taking there time to finish but I’ll start pulling these if I see any issues. Only one I’m wondering if it will finish is a late flowering lemon skunk.

130dB personal alarms (water resistant) can be had on Amazon, $10 for 3, shipped next day. They are as small as a car key fob. They all trigger by pulling a pin and are Loud AF.

Buy 6 or 9 of them, get some 5lb monofiliment for trips, attach the alarms to the main stem low down, then run your trip wires. Rippers will run for sure and you will know theres a doins a transpiring. Whole set up costs you under $30 and works like a charm.

130db in the middle of the night, when you are trying to be quiet, sounds like the apocalypse coming. It's an easy system to add lights, sirens, or primer perimeter traps to with 9v batteries, some screws, and clothes pins.

Give em some nutes! Cal mag and some guano. Way too early to yellow like that!! You've got some heavy sativa's in the garden. Make sure to run em long enough.

Wish I knew how they knew. It is possible to see them although difficult. Could be someone I told is a low life without me knowing or they told a low life. Admittedly, I had too much faith in humility and never thought this would happen to me. Next year I will incorporate some of these ideas people are giving to protect my land. I’m walking around with butterflies in my stomach. Where does it end? I have some ducting blowing out a basement window. What’s stopping them from busting through and ransacking everything my indoor. This person totally fucked my world up.

At least you knew who the scumbag was. I appreciate you sharin your experience and feelings. It makes me feel better to hear other ppl talk about I their ripper experiences. I’m feeling similarly like I could actually do some crazy shit to this person. I feel like Liam neeson in taken. I’m trying to be mindful and realize that it’s not the worst thing in the world even if it is the worst thing in my world. I can’t believe there’s that many assholes who feel like entitled to other people’s hard work. I’m walking around with butterflies in my stomach getting no sleep. Hopefully can I find peace and comfort soon. Thanks all

Follow up question...last year I asked about flushing (I'm not starting that debate here) and since have researched enough to form my own options on it.

However, I still have some uncertainty on a different preharvest ritual. The idea behind the 48 hour dark period is very interesting to me.

Has anyone tried it?

Ive researched it a lot but I dont have my own experience to draw from. Is there anything to it or is it more woo woo bs? Like everything else with cannabis, its not been possible to find a controlled side by side comparison.
My practice indoors has been no nutrients for 3 weeks before expected harvest, water only with some added molasses, then when you are confident of harvest 48 hours dark, and at least 3 days without water. For outdoors I don't know what the process is any experienced guys help out here?

Hey man,I may come off sounding like an asshole here,but I'm going to say it anyways.suck it up.you've already said this is the "worst thing that has ever happened" to you.for real?? Stop saying that,you're tempting fate.horrible shit happens to wonderful ppl every day,realize how fortunate you are and move on.you lost an outdoor that you're not 100% sure would have made it AND you have an indoor going.you're a lot better off then some.
I understand how violated you must feel,i'd be pissed if someone trespassed and stole from me too.come up with a game plan for next season,don't tell anyone or show anyone your plot.

Lost a good sized branch this morning .... too much weight with the rain and the buds.... hoping the duct tape sling will get her limb to the finish line.
Same here. Few branches snapped on mine. Its pouring here. Hoping it let's up soon. I'm freaking out, I staked as many as i can but this rain is a disaster for bud rot too

Looks like today and tomorrow are the hump. After that shows 8 days of sun and 65 with low humidity. Could be a last minute reprieve if we can survive this current shit storm.

You can get personal alarms from the dollar store today for 3 or 4$. Go buy some and set up tripwires. Feeling bad and nervous are not preventative measures. Even if you don't get the person, being proactive gets you in the game. They might win again in a few days and spot your tripwires...oh well...try harder. You will feel this way until you start Home Aloning this shit. Doing anything to combat the problem will put you on the path to getting over it.

The options are freeze, run, or fight. Never pick freeze.

Don’t really appreciate the insensitivity. You didn’t say anything enlightening. In fact I mentioned all of what u said already. I said it’s the worst thing anyone’s ever done to me not the worst thing that happened to me. Yes I am lucky to say that but it’s true, by far the worst violation toward me I mentioned it’s not the worst thing in the world but it is the worst in my world, whicH is why I feel compelled to vent on here. I don’t believe in heeby jeeby jinx bullshit where what I say or feel has an effect on my fate so gtfo with that. I don’t need you to invalidate my feelings. I understand some people may not care about it that’s fine they’ll say nothing and be in the right. Not sure what you wanted out of your post. Life lessons? I got nothing out of it but thanks anyway I think you were trying to be helpful...

I can appreciate those criticisms and advice. Thank you. I’ll pick myself up eventually and make a plan for next year.

You could do it this year. Now. Even if logistically it doesnt make sense, the act of responding to a threat is cathartic. It may seem meaningless, but after the job is done you will feel better. Its human nature. It will definitely help to sooth the feeling of violation. Being proactive now isnt only to deter it from happening again, though that is a benefit. It will help you feel better. The work is the reward.
