Hello all,
I currently have 4 beautiful plants growing in a closet under CFL's. They came from bagseed that I obtained from my roommate. We have separate rooms in a house that is rented. I have read extensively and tended to my plants very diligently and therefore my plants are healthy and bushy. Here's my current dillema:
It's been about a month of vegging now. Yesterday I decided, against my wishes, to turn them to the 12-12 cycle. Why would I do that you ask? Well my roommate, who got our seeds, is a moron. He leaves his door open with his lights on and plants in full view CONSTANTLY. He has parties with 10-20 people over and has his plants out. I swear there must be like 40 people by now who have seen his three (very stretched and sparse I might add) plants. (by the way just to humor the serious marijuana cultivators out there he has three 4-5 inch tall streched plants in two 3 inch or so pots. And the soil is half full in one of them. Yeah he's not getting any bud off that.)
This is not acceptable. I have heard many horror stories about the police in my area. For example, another one of my roomate's friends got an obstruction of justice ticket ($450 or so) because he either misspoke on his birthday or the cops didn't hear him right. They thought he said 5-1-88 when it was 5-11-08. So that's a pretty hard *** punishment for such a petty missunderstanding. Not the only story I've heard either. I can't imagine what getting busted would entail here.
So. I now am deciding to regretfully cut my beautiful ladies and grow some basil or cilantro. The anxiety I have had from my roomate's actions and parties is cutting into my professional work. All it would take is their drunk asses getting loud, neighbor calls in, cops come, dumbasses let them in, it smells like weed cause they were smoking and drinking underage, cops check the house, go to jail, get my *** raped 24-7 and have my future hopes and dreams shattered.
I am quite saddened that I have to do this. However, I will be growing again. I can build up my growbox while I wait, and practice stealth indoor cultivation while I'm at it. I love gardening. I have peppers, basil, sage and clilantro growing outside along with numerous houseplants
While I know that the personal cultivation and use of marijuana is a rewarding and exciting venture, it is not worth jail. And while I can be responsible with my own personal cultivation, I can't control my roomate's risky actions.
I'd like to hear from you guys and gals on your opinions of my situation. What would you do? I feel this is the best choice, I have been suffering too much anxiety for this due to this roommate situation. Also, once I get in a better situation for growing how do you suggest I get hooked up with new seeds? I don't smoke enough to collect bagseed from bags I buy, I have a fairly limited budget and I prefer total secrecy (IE not like my roommate)
And also once I get done with this grow I might post a retro-active grow journal for discussion and to show off how good my babies look
Thanks,
the Badfish
