Don't tell anybody about your grow operation

It can be hard not telling people about one's grow. I sure get excited about it and it is a blast watching the plants grow. Good news is contagious. I haven't told anyone and I'm not going to. My own wife doesn't even know. I suppose that is why I joined this forum. I get to talk about it and get it out without putting myself at risk. You simply cannot trust anyone. It doesn't matter if it is your girlfriend, friend, best friend or roommate etc. I was in jail one time and my cellmate was telling about how he got busted for growing because his girlfriend got upset with him one time and called the cops and reported him. This type of thing can happen with anybody you know. People are too unpredictable and emotional. Plus, you could tell a friend and then he could get drunk or something stupid and start rambliing about "someone who he knows who grows." Then someone who hears it could tell someone else and so forth until the wrong person hears it and calls the cops. It is stressful enough growing without having to worry if your friends, acquaintances, or loved ones will keep quiet. Plan ahead, play it smart, and last but not least, play it safe.

MountainManGanjaGrower, LOL. Your Geico avatar is hillarious. Anyways, yea, greed is a bitch. I've had friends steal alcohol out my shed. I can only imagine what would happen if they knew I was growing.

Yea but at the same time, im no big timer or professional :) still learning the ropes.. anyone willing to break in to steal might as well take the Big screens or furniture.. its worth more than my 2 lights.
most of my friends knew i grew, but i had to quit growing for a few months and when i start back up next year noone will know.

Only my girl knows and 2 close friends who also grow know. My girl pays for half my supplies so that's the only reason i have to let her in on it lol

I don't disagree with this sentiment, but I think to say "Don't tell anyone ever for any reason" is a little dumb. I think you want to be smart. Don't tell anyone that you do not have a long-term relationship with, a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. The only person who knows about my grow is my wife. To not tell your own wife is a major breach of trust, IMO. I would never do something like this on our property amid our family without her knowledge. Period.

Now friends...well, that gets dangerous for sure, but it sounds to me like some of you need different friends.

I completely agree. You cant keep something like that from your wife. While growing is a completely healthy hobby, there are more important things.
