Hi Folks
I recently had a bit of a scare. Long story short the postman who I'm quite friendly with, gave me a warning that he could tell something was up.
I thought okay if he suspects something, who else does.
I acted like I was surprised, like I'd no idea what he was talking about and thanked him for letting me know something dodgy was going on in the area.
I immediately went inside and cut down all my plants and dismantled my two grow rooms. We're talking 9 x 600watt grow lights and 4 x ms0006 Led lights, with RDWC and Autopots etc. I've repainted all the walls, patched all the holes, taken down the two aircons and had the floors redone. Put beds back in the rooms etc. The place looks like a normal house now. Everything is off the property.
Better safe than sorry.
I've decided I'm not going to grow again until I have my own place. A bit more secluded with a basement where I can grow meds safely. I've been growing in rental properties for years because I've never been able to afford my own home. I've moved countless times and I've had a few close calls. This one was probably the closest. If it was someone else who suspected something, the situation could have been a lot worse. I'm talking about a bunch of armed police busting the door down and hauling me off to jail. Better safe than sorry.
A lot of people will be disappointed with this news. I supplied a number of medical people with various issues all the way from bad back, to brain cancer. Plus many recreational users ranging from waitresses to google employees, looking for an alternative way to relax after a hard day at work than alcohol etc.
Now to talk about you lot. Yes my adopted AFN family. Shit. I'm feeling a touch of emotion coming on. I'm not an emotional guy usually. This certainly isn't good bye for ever. But I really appreciate the way you all took me in. I appreciate for the first time in my life being able to talk to a bunch of really cool people about my growing and their growing and growing in general, in a safe positive supportive environment.
I need to concentrate on setting myself up with a new business, so I'll be away and busy. But I'll stop by once in a while and say hi. I look forward to the day where I can grow again. But it won't be until I have a house not close to other people and preferably with a basement.
Peace out.. big love..
(p.s if you're wondering why I almost got caught it was this. I decided to turn off the extraction fan going to the air filter for a little while to increase the air temperature while I was harvesting. In this country we have to have these stupid vents in every room. I'm guessing smell leaked out that vent. Because it was that very day the postman told me he could smell something skunky in the area. All this time I've been so careful. Never telling a soul. Blocking all light and smell. Just one slip up is all it takes. Be careful my family. Stay safe.)
Until then.. here are the last pics I ever took of my grow...
