I have been thinking about it. I do not tell anyone I grow. Nor do I sell to anyone. I gift to my son and a veteran with PTSD. I make cookies for my sister. I also gave some to my niece and nephew who came to visit last spring. One lives near Denver the other in IL.If a ripper you would know obviously about presence of weed. Why would you announce your self by offer to buy, unknown, and then rip the place? I know who I would suspect!
Thinking a little more and rereading original post, you said " for yourself and a few friends" is it possible one of your friends smoked some of your weed with this guy?
And maybe he just decided to introduce himself ? I would ask everyone who knows. Very few friends even know I have grown. None know when or have seen any room. Unless that cat boy squealed. He is sort of a big mouth.

I am growing some autos currently, they are tiny. I bring them in at night. They are outside all day. There are people that come here to see Dad for PT the CNA and a nurse. He used to get OT too but that has stopped. Apparently too many people know my business. At least I am in a legal state. I have started locking the gate at night. Hopefully that helps. The Santa Marta strains I grew this past grow had some stank on them by the time they were 6 or 8 weeks old. The leaves were sticky too. Maybe someone lives near by that could smell it. I am not going to stress about it. I am following all the laws and guidelines set up by the state.
