:sigh:...Noob's vs. Cops...Fuck It, I went there.

You read the title...& it is.... what it IS....

I offered to trade hydroponics gear for more hydroponics gear...as a barter trade
so the guy brings his "wife" & trades a T8 fixture as a T5...

it happened at a local gas station so I was trying to make it snappy...& he is waving this 8 bulb beast
like its Red White & Blue.

10 mins after the trade I see the T8 bulbs that were boxed...Im PISSED

He opts for the trade back...& I go with it...
He shows me yet another...fucked off half ass "grow light"...& the fucking thing
looks like he stole it from a GOD DAMN LIGHT POLE!!! Im like WTF?!?!

So now Im trippin balls like...this dude cant be this fucking Stupid.
So I start to ask questions...Basic shit, well semi basic shit....he fumbles & plays the "NOOB" card.
long story short...he has a 4x4x4...wants 400w in it
with a 9 plant aero system...with 3" net "pots"....with a/c, chiller, & co2...SMH
I felt conflicted...like maybe i should help the poor bastard...but then he gets defensive...while im giving him the SCIENCE of this shit

It ends in a swap back...conducted by his "wife"....grandma dies, he cant make it cause of work...so sugar tits is on the job
I let her set the meeting area... she claims she has to shower & then she'll be on her way
I get there 10 min. after the text...BAM!!!! fucking LE...so I chill pull across the street & park it like its HOT

Its lunch so maybe that plays a role...I text this chick 45 min. after her "shower text"...& she is STALLING.
I try to keep my "foil" hat on...ya know...
BUT 4-6 LE trucks....from different citys...(the place is on a city border)...within less than a qrt mile of one another....swarming
Plus the LE tower at the meeting location...FUCK THAT!

I switch spots on her....less than a qrt mile away..but on the other side of her set spot
I know that area well enough to use back streets to get to the other side of the interstate...
& like clock work...as more arrive... she sends her text...10min.s away

So im creeping behind the plaza loading docks...& i get the drop on this bitch SOOOO fucking cold
she is on her cell phone talking& I pop up right at her door...she gets out like..."OH WOW< THE GUYS AT MY DOOR..im sorry"
In 45 seconds from knockin on her window i was locked & loaded...turning & burning

I was out of the far opposite end of the parking lot in less than a minute....

I know the golden rule of this shit..."DONT TELL"...But,,,(you smelled it)
We all have walked that fine line of convo...in a hydro shop
& we all know that when you LOVE this...its comes out in HOW you talk...& WHAT you say.
You can hear the late nights of diggin for it...the sacrifice to attain it...the devotion to protekt it...& the pride in mastering it

No one gave it too you....you earned it.

So If you didnt burn for it ...like I burned for it....I cant fuck with you

So this was a really hard story to follow...But if I understood correctly, you wanted to swap growing equipment and you thought it was about to be a sting operation? You know it's completely legal to sell growing gear, including hydroponic set-ups? You sound super paranoid. You need to relax IMHO

I know that you can sell hydro gear...
I know that im super noid...

but when a person doesnt know shit about growing...& or equipment & they have a TON of it
& are asking you if your using it now ...how many plants you have...

& they ask you if you use the MH to HPS switch to start flowering....thats fucked up

They could of just followed you home. If they wanted to catch you, they could have. Lol your way paranoid man. Cops are A LOT smarter then you think, definitely smarter then that.

What I'm thinking is, the ppl didn't want to reswap back and they just called the cops saying this guy grows weed and he will be here at this time... etc

I would pack it up and get out of town before something you really really don't want to happen, happens. I'm not talking about tonight, but soon. I've been down the "close-call" road before, and it always ends with an extended in the crossbar motel, if ya dig what i mean. Not tonight, but soon. You just compromised your op, bro. Might wanna let that one sink in.

Their going to rip you off it's a setup for sure.....

If I say anything about marijuana...id be creating probable cause...

I started to text the fucker back like ...."oink"

You're young, profiled, in the system, and parinoid...
You got 99 problems...
I hope it works for you...

My X neighbor was a cop out of a different city we lived in...
He'd say- "three more years at the cop shop, then I smoke with ya..."
Two years to retirement then I smoke with you...
one year... 6 months... he retired...
And ya know he still wouldn't spark one up, talk about parinoid....

I got set up to buy cigarettes for a minor as I was passing through west virginia and stopped at a gas station. They had a kid ask me to buy them and an undercover cop waiting behind the side of the building.

Another time at a resort town 2 undercovers tried to sell us herb and my friend said, "I've already got mine" and the guy asked if he wanted to trade......lol I said, "Not from undercover law enforcement" and walked away. My friend didn't hear me or some shit and got arrested.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not after you!

Just sever all communication with the guy,hes obviously retarded,It would make you just as bad to continue dialogue with this person who didnt know jack about real growing equipment.
