You read the title...& it is.... what it IS....

I offered to trade hydroponics gear for more hydroponics gear...as a barter trade
so the guy brings his "wife" & trades a T8 fixture as a T5...

it happened at a local gas station so I was trying to make it snappy...& he is waving this 8 bulb beast
like its Red White & Blue.

10 mins after the trade I see the T8 bulbs that were boxed...Im PISSED

He opts for the trade back...& I go with it...
He shows me yet another...fucked off half ass "grow light"...& the fucking thing
looks like he stole it from a GOD DAMN LIGHT POLE!!! Im like WTF?!?!

So now Im trippin balls like...this dude cant be this fucking Stupid.
So I start to ask questions...Basic shit, well semi basic shit....he fumbles & plays the "NOOB" card.
long story short...he has a 4x4x4...wants 400w in it
with a 9 plant aero system...with 3" net "pots"....with a/c, chiller, & co2...SMH
I felt conflicted...like maybe i should help the poor bastard...but then he gets defensive...while im giving him the SCIENCE of this shit

It ends in a swap back...conducted by his "wife"....grandma dies, he cant make it cause of work...so sugar tits is on the job
I let her set the meeting area... she claims she has to shower & then she'll be on her way
I get there 10 min. after the text...BAM!!!! fucking LE...so I chill pull across the street & park it like its HOT

Its lunch so maybe that plays a role...I text this chick 45 min. after her "shower text"...& she is STALLING.
I try to keep my "foil" hat on...ya know...
BUT 4-6 LE trucks....from different citys...(the place is on a city border)...within less than a qrt mile of one another....swarming
Plus the LE tower at the meeting location...FUCK THAT!

I switch spots on her....less than a qrt mile away..but on the other side of her set spot
I know that area well enough to use back streets to get to the other side of the interstate...
& like clock work...as more arrive... she sends her text...10min.s away

So im creeping behind the plaza loading docks...& i get the drop on this bitch SOOOO fucking cold
she is on her cell phone talking& I pop up right at her door...she gets out like..."OH WOW< THE GUYS AT MY DOOR..im sorry"
In 45 seconds from knockin on her window i was locked & loaded...turning & burning

I was out of the far opposite end of the parking lot in less than a minute....

I know the golden rule of this shit..."DONT TELL"...But,,,(you smelled it)
We all have walked that fine line of convo...in a hydro shop
& we all know that when you LOVE this...its comes out in HOW you talk...& WHAT you say.
You can hear the late nights of diggin for it...the sacrifice to attain it...the devotion to protekt it...& the pride in mastering it

No one gave it too you....you earned it.

So If you didnt burn for it ...like I burned for it....I cant fuck with you

So this was a really hard story to follow...But if I understood correctly, you wanted to swap growing equipment and you thought it was about to be a sting operation? You know it's completely legal to sell growing gear, including hydroponic set-ups? You sound super paranoid. You need to relax IMHO
