growing in parents house

[slunt]

I keep hearing people talk about setting up guerilla grows in their parents house.In the closet, in the attic,in the garage...etc.
IMO, this is an extremely "BAD" idea.
Everything your parents have worked for, all their personal possesions,their family pictures,momento's and souvenirs are all in that house.
Everything you hold dear and important are in that house.Now let's see if we can burn it down!
House insurance does not cover fires started by grow ops or any other illegal activity.What you are risking is everything for very little.
Constant questions about heat in closets,under boxes and beds, in low attics and crawl spaces, and multi- dwelling apartments have me worried.
While I applaude the people who have decided to grow their own, please do not do it at someone else's potential expense.Please wait until you are out on your own before making the decision to grow. That way you can cherry pick the place and situation.
Improper use of electrical devices causes shorts, overheating, fires and shock.It happens so often that there are permanent fire depts in every neighbourhood...thin k about it.
Heaters, fans,lights,timers, amperage per circuit,breakers,ext ension cord rating, all play a part in set up.If you are not absolutely SURE what you are doing...wait...read more, educate yourself more, and come up with a plan that endangers no one and has a good chance of success.
I will be writing a short(but getting longer) info page on how to set up an outdoor shed/grow for multiple crops on mother natures dime.In the meantime I am collecting stories and info pertaining to outdoor guerilla grow ops, to help flesh out the basic info and give everybody a chance to participate and learn from others.
Please feel free to donate info, or ask questions.Look for it sometime in February.

Get a place where you can put up a small 10x12 shed and you will be happening.

I'm shoulder to shoulder with you on that Slunt.

Growers must have a level of responsibility that is above the level of people
in general, not only to themselves, but to anyone that will be affected by the repercussions, good or bad.

Who here would say they wouldn't be the wickedest of pissed if someone they were allowing to live in their home, caused accessory or conspiracy charges to be brought upon them should a grow room the head of household wasn't aware of cause a fire and damage or worse, compell LEO to raid and seize?

Selfish, irresponsible, and worst of all it completely lacks respect and integrity for the person helping you out.


While I wouldn't laugh or applaud anyone who did this and was caught by kharma, I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry for them if they were hemmed up.
I would feel sorry for the person who had a new set of problems they had no knowledge of and couldn't avoid.

nicely put slunt

I'm an electrician and a firefighter.

I've seen what faulty wiring can do.

anyone here the story about the firefighters killed in a house
that was growing pot.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...nviction_x.htm

happened not to far from me.

There are a lot of things that growers don't think about.

-Making sure your using the right type of wire
-checking for heat rating on cords
-having the light close to combustable material
-maxing out circuit breakers

If you have any doubt in what your doing,
you probably shouldn't be doing it.
beleive me, you don't want to deal with the consequences.
just remember to be careful,
sorry, I didn't mean to preach, just stating the facts

^ do you have any interest in growing your own? Because an electrician on the boards is always most welcomed.
I guerilla grow to keep it away from the family, people talk about getting paranoid at harvest time, and while I agree, it is stressful as fuck, I feel secure knowing those girls are doing there own thing out there without me, and not endangering my family as much.
I think anyone in this situation would be better off looking into guerilla growing, obviously regionally relevant. But I'll be looking forward to those threads you have coming

[tim8abug]

I'm currently growing white widow.
Check this message board for details

[Cerebro]

have you looked at this from your parents opinion, at all?
thanks t8ab, i'll check it.

You're awesome, bra.

[elsicko]

hey all. long time no speak!

if any1 remembers my grow last summer and how disasterously it all ended for me, you'd realise that growin in any property that you personally dont own is asking for trouble! for those of you who dont know what happened to me ill give you a brief outline; i had 2 plants under a 600w hps with a 10 inch extractor set up in a walk in closet in my flat. one night my landlord decided 2 invite himself into my flat and have a snoop around. you can all guess what he found! i lost my flat, my plants, my equipment and not so long after my fiance (she was a nut job ne ways so lucky escape )! on top of all that i then had 2 go back 2 my parents and explain what had happend n then do the same to my ex's parents!

its a shit situation to be in and i hope that any1 thinking about growing in parents/rented property thinks long and hard about the implications of what they're doing!

and if u asked me, would i do it all again? the answer would be FUCK YEAH but it'l be in my own home and not sum1 elses!

word slunt



be patiant and deal with paying for your own weed until you have a consenting property owner to set up a grow with or your own place.


why not try an outdoor grow somewhere remote if you are that desperate.

[slunt]

I will be posting a " Do IT Yourself" guide on how to build a greenhouse and grow your own very shortly. Probably within the next two weeks.It will include tips on size, security,and artificially inducing Bud on mother nature's dime....stay tuned.

[Dandaweedman]

Hey Slunt, is this what I have been waiting for?

[slunt]

Yep< not sure of the best format to lay it out in.I think a basic bare bones explanation of concepts , design and measurements, with an open thread so that others may contribute input on all aspects pertaining to a secure stealth greenhouse.By stealth I mean out in the open, but impossible to see into,solidly framed, and sheeted ,wired, and roofed, perhaps growing an assortment of plants both inside and around it.
Beauty of this design is ...it can be turned into a sauna in the winter, and you can have the neighbours over.
Sorry I can't do more right now but I'm dealing with a family tragedy, which is unfolding in slow motion, and requiring all my spare time.
There's a reason I wanted to post this info in February,cause it will take time to gather materials,build properly,get plants happening by the beggining of April, after last frost, and be ready to begin artificial flowering on mother natures dime on June 1st,so 2 sets of plants can flower over summer.
Most of the stuff has been mentioned in bits and pieces throughout this forum. I'm just hoping to put it all together in a co-hesive, easy to do form.

[suburbanlights]

When I was in my parent's place, I could pretty much get anything I wanted where the bud was concerned...

Now that I'm older, it's harder for me to find it, so growing is the best option..

I really think that growing in/on someone else's property is a very bad idea. I've seen many friends go down and get busted trying to do this, never ends well.

just my 2 cents worth.

I suggest a lock. even if the cops come they cant look at anything locked. unless they go to court with reason. By then its all gone.

I've got a slightly happier tale, I started growing at my parents house as a kid, it was outdoors but only 120 feet from the front door I planted about sixty seedlings two feet apart in rows of twenty (it was a plot about the size of two tennis courts). Now everything was fine for the first few months but at month four you could see them from the house anyway to cut a long story short I confessed all to my mum in the hope that she might help me hide my growing FIELD of weed from my dad. We managed to pull it off even if my dad did keep complaining about the odd smell that seemed to spread everywhere, and now fifteen years later my mum still grows weed in the same plot and to my knowledge my dad still hasn't found out.
P.S. my mum never smoked before but now is a right little toker.

[slunt]

Well done.With a nice little outdoor shed and plants planted in buckets, your Mom could artificially restrict the sun light to 12/12 and harvest 2 crops per year.

[smokin]

mmmm.. OK I'll let her know.

[slunt]

The concept is simple.Natural sunlight starts the flowering process around mid to late august.That's when the 2nd crop blooms naturally.Around mid june you put the bucketed plants away in the dark shed for 12 hours a day.Those first crop plants are ready for harvest about mid august.Then mother nature will bloom the second crop naturally and it will be ready mid to end of October.
