so my rubbermaid grow box is loud and lets out a lot of light. im in college, and will have college room mates in our new house. i do have my own room, but there may be one or two times where someone will wander into my room i figure...

if they happen to find it, they might be ok with it. but instead of me reassuring them that they can deny that they knew if the police should show up yada yada yada, i figure i would try and do a convincing lie hahah:hump: this way they are less likely to discuss me growing weed, which will no doubt spread to other people no matter how hard i try and keep it quiet.

anyway, i havent really thought much about it, but it goes something like this

if someone asks "what is this?" (my grow box) ill say something like
"oh thats for a genetics class i am trying to get into. it has some pre-requisites, but i spoke with the professor and if i do an independent project, i can bypass them and go right into the class for the winter semester. so i am growing a male and female (insert scientific name of a plant) and then cross breeding them to see what characteristics are mendelian and which are not"

i figure if i do it with enough confidence, maybe label the grow box "experiment 2A" and sprinkle in some fancy jargon they would buy it if they happen to see it:twisted:. it will be more convincing during the vegetative state and if i can get a name of a plant that actually looks like marijuana, i think it may work

i figure i would also buy the house a six pack or two a month incase they get upset that im using extra energy.


if you were the one to walk in, would you buy this story if i was confident about it enough? if they say "it looks like pot" i can let out a legitmate laugh and say "hahah yeah i wish." so would you buy it? try not to play devil's advocate too hard, and perhaps help me improve my story

Why not tell them that story now, before they find it. That way you can offer to pay for the extra electric now and there wouldn't be any hard feelings. I also think if you told them that now it would make them less suspicious of what you having going on in your closet...
Don't call it a lie either, in a way it isn't. You are protecting them is all:)

i think you would be surprised. the word "mendelian" can be pretty powerful

im mostly just thinking of this to protect myself and them (yeah, mostly myself). i've spent too much money to throw everything out and start over. its also my room, im paying rent, i think i should be able to do what i want to an extent. now i know this doesnt give me a right to start my own meth lab, but it seems like it would be mostly harmless. the risk is mine and they can just be ignorant to the situation.

and after you tell them that story they ask to see it, then what? I wouldn't buy that story...
granted, you guys know exactly how cannabis works and looks while growing. my room mates dont really smoke, hence, im growing a plant that intially looks like cannabis

But do you really know and fully trust these people to not go snooping around your shit. I mean I hope they dont but if anyone saw that I'm sure they would know its cannabis. I mean you really have to be an idiot to mistake that desert plant for cannabis. Also do you have the smell under control?

I agree partly in the fact that you shouldnt do it but...I would probably do it and put it in my closet and put a lock on that bitch. If they ever ask you why you have a lock on it tell them you have some really expensive camera equipment or something like that in there. Also how big is your grow box?

Thats just silly bro....EVERYONE knows what weed looks like. you are risking a lot more than you think. and yeah...they will probably end up in jail for it too if you get busted. also...a college house...do you really think you are gonna have any privacy...lol...crazy man...just crazy:mrgreen:

And then what do you do if they ask to see it? btw poutineeh a Desert fucking Lupine what the fuck!:mrgreen: Their is a list of plants that REALLY look like cannabis somewhere on these forums and I mean I would probably get mixed up if I stumbled upon some...well until I really got a look at it. But that is a good idea saying your doing a project for a class. Also you can staple or tape towels around your rubbermaid bin and cut holes for fans/wires and will be light proof for the most part. Though a pile of towels with plants inside would be suspicious...

as of right now, im not sure how i am going to handle the situation. maybe my room has a lock on it, but im not sure yet.
only one of the kids in the house smokes regularly with me, and he is my best friend, and i want him to go in on the cost w/ me just so he has as much to lose as i do if we talk about it. im only going to tell him about it during the last part of flowering.

yeah i feel bad about lying, so i would rather they just stumble upon it. that way i am just not telling them the truth.

if i cant find a plant that resembles it almost exactly, i might not even do this whole cover up story. i have 2 weeks to think about it more.

also, do you guys really think if, hypothetically, i get caught but they never saw my grow box (which is just two stacked rubbermaids, about 4' tall, btw), do you think they would get in trouble? im not an expert at the law, but it seems like if they have no idea its even happening, why would they get punished?

that looks really convincing, but the only thing is its a tree, right? i dunno if i would buy it if i were growing it in a 4 foot high box, unless i say I am "LST'ing" (which i am). that could complicate it too much, and id rather say its just a small plant or bush...
