Something Big Is going down in TEXAS

Well some of you know me pretty well and others i am a nobody, unlike cali, or other medical areas we put our asses on the line. I have sucessfully ran a very nice system for a few years, the overall scale of what i have done is simply insane. i have dug containers in the ground worked in homes commercial spaces, mobile homes, after a while the cost became very high.

It proved very hard to keep plants and systems in top shape when your overloaded. But its real easy to process tons of money if you have the systems in place. for over 2 years the system worked flawless. 6 months ago one of my major covers was blown, and i was forced to shut down a area. a few months later another huge investment went down. i was really lucky to have and keep this huge system up for as long as it did. unlike other areas our markets bring 5200-6000 per LB and as low as 4500 in bulk. these numbers fueled a massive operation, over the last year the changes have done little to rattle me.

Some of you followed another journal of mine that also sufferend a loss and shutdown. as a result i was forced to move and shuffle all this. i just went with the flow.

Well the other day the bubble popped. Almost 20 years after i got in trouble, the other day i was driving with a very tiny amount less that 1 gram and the normal pipe, A given NO NO in my state however i was forced to act and play a all out addict, especially when i was transporting.

this day i had not smoked however the smell that is burned in my ride is a strong cross of fresh and burnt smell. the cause of getting pulled over seemed very odd right before, actually we discussed this 2 days before,

BAD BAD feelings, dreams were a strong sign, i had just arranged a rather large deal, half a pound, this was larger then i normally do however i have been getting overstocked in this day i planned on turning about 5500.00
something struck me right before i left a op of mine and i chose to leave the quanity there and take it from another location, i trusted the gut, and less than a mile away it all fell apart.


The officer making the arrest spotted me sitting at a stop sign, and "failed to notice my belt" so he said, from where he spotted me he was driving and was over 60 yards away (180 feet) i made eyecontact as he pulled into a store then he stopped very oddly and i lost sight. moments later i turned onto a highway and instantly he felt out of a store and lit me up. I was freaked out, no traffic violations or anything.

So i pulled over, and he proceeded to walk up, i rolled down the windows as soon as i was pulled over and about the 10 foot mark he smelled me. His first word was step out of the vehicle. Instantly i figured this was the end of something big. He violated my right 3 times however not much you can do. your word is nothing, he stated the cause was seatbelt however it was on and a lie, He did a search without warrent or consent, based solely on odor, is was ruled unlawful by the texas supreme court. however i am powerless to stop them. so he gets a tiny amount but they instantly know far above adverage. My rights are read at that point and now he want to talk....... i calmly explained there is nothing i could say to him to further his case, they really pushed me hard...... i am seasoned and the pressure was intense even for me and my nerves of steel. they really want to find these people....... you can see the desire to discover large amounts of CASH with drugs so they can fuel these courts and countys.
As a result i have a arrest, as well as so many flags up i am throwing in the towel. I have produced literally tons of the best smoke, and breeds i have ever desired to enjoy, i have over 19 active stains and quite a bit of person breeds too. All this is in massive shutdown mode.

all the product has a home however i will be selling 91 ballasts 68 lumatek digitals 400-1000 watters most are 600 or 1000 nearly a hundred 20 lb co2 tanks about 13 50lb tanks, tons of trays fans blowers hundreds of gallons of nutes, bulbs timers i have tons of new soil, about 2 pallets FFOF ocean forest. airconditioners, cool tubes , standard reflectors, there is so much more i have equiptment to grow hundreds of plants at one time.
i have commercial grade generator for someone who needs 55000 load watts. Diesel ( Ingersol rand with Cat motor) 4969 hours currently.


If you are in or around TEXAS you should start next week looking through online classified adds. as nothing will cost over 1/2 of new and there is tons of new goodies too.

The really sad part is i have created a economy for myself and agents that is devistating to alot of retailers and users once gone. i will no longer be able to be very active under this name or help teach others, however i had gotten to big to really share like i used to. on OG i was so quiet, however here i kinda let some if it hang out.

The real reason i am posting this is to help people who were following me understand what has happened. Aside from a simple class B mist. and bail court costs i am out a few grand. about 4 total i estimate, however i had a special fund set aside for a BIG LUMP and all i got was a scratch.

SO i am taking my little lump like a man, and running like a bitch with all the properties, cash and other goodies i have earned and purchased.
im turning in my large 6 figure margin and retiring on top.

i hope in the end i cash out nearing 7 figures, Simply put..... YOU CAN GO BIG .... REALLY big if you have the balls. one location was churning out 1200-1500 a day. if you choose to do this HAVE NO PARTNERS, NO investors, nothing but you and maybe 1 good friend. You can post here or other places, just keep your ego small and your ops within reason, especially if your posting to the world.

If you need serious info or tips on large scale please PM me only. i will still visit RIU however i suspect posting to be very limited under this name.
Also please dont flood this thread with requests for goods, if you search online classifieds in texas you will find me. if you pm me i will help you find it easy. Please dont ask for seeds plants or product as this is out of line.
i expect to start listing 2-5 days from now. and after 45 days i will wholesale the entire lot of remaining goods at local retialers who offer used goods. If you are a retailer that has interest, dont hesitate to contact. however i really wish most of these to go to public users not reatilers that will remarkup products. If you are very serious about my large generator, i can give you specs on it. i will likely go to ebay where it came from. for 900 more i can have it mounted on a new trailer, my lead acid bettery setup is used and will likely be recycled, you will need a large battery backup, if you plant on running 15000-20000 watts as your ballasts will cycle on and off without this. my system could support me for only (backup) for less that 2 minutes. with the cost of diesel lower a 12 hour shift will use about 55 gallons a day. running a load of about 18k watts.


Most of all BE safe when you are doing this. Be safe here on RIU and out in the world. make your money quietly then brag later. i went so big because our state only has possession charge on marijuana for growing, even if your going insane, and getting caught with under 50 lbs is only a second felony. 2-50 lbs is the same so if your there do it. some states like kentucky can fine you over 1000 per plant. is is on top of tax evasion and other bs they through at you. Better to stay small and safe. But there are alot of us that want to be huge.

Be safe and best of luck to all of you. Thanks for following me on here and thanks for helping to better this site like so many of our user had.

Fuck the Bullshit dude, you lived the dream, you did the damn thing for 20 years, and you ended it like half of us will only be able to wish that we could end it. Youve taken HUGE risks, and have had even bigger payoffs man. There isnt one person in riu, let alone the entire pot growing community, who can say that you did the wrong thing, or that you went out like a chump. You went out legend style, and im sure that anybody who had the pleasure of smokin your herb will be able to reminisce about how great your shit was compared to the dirt that theyll have to smoke without you around.

Flooding the market with premium herb is the goal of any commercial grower who cares about his craft, and even though i havent had the pleasure of sampling your stuff, from the way your talkin, thousands of others have, and thats something truly amazing to be able to say man. You went out the way that people like Mickey Munday, George Jung, and other giant drug manufacturers or dealers only wish they could have. You got to keep your assets gained, you got to keep your freedom, and you only had a MINOR, MINOR skuff with the law dude. Your a champ in my book, thats for fuckin sure.

Do your thing man, live your life. Move out to Jamaica, or somewhere that you can live off of 20 years of profit, and relax for the rest of your life man. Buy some rinky dink gift shop or somethin like that so you can still turn a minor profit without spending shitloads of your saved cash, and live like a fuckin fatrat for the rest of your life dude.

Wish ida had the pleasure of talkin with ya on here, or even burnin one with ya, but hey fuck that shit man - the beauty of Rollitup is that we can look up the stuff that youve had to say in the past on here, and read it n gain knowledge from it reguardless of where youve gone. So thank you for not stayin so quiet in this forum as you did in OG man - I take knowledge imparted from people like you and SEVERAL others on here, and i read, and study, and read some more, and try to apply it to my own shit, so i guess thanks in advance for that aswell.

Im done babblin on man. Im just impressed to hear what youve managed to do. Yeah it sucks that your gettin out, but its also awesome that your GETTING OUT, as opposed to GETTING FUCKED OUT, feel me?

-you win, they fuckin lose. simple as that.

THATS the American Dream. Youve done it, they cant take it from you.

Enjoy the golden years man :D

ya, i also wondered at dealing in such small quantities when such a big grow(s) are going on. That would mean a shite load of traffic either for yourself or for other people. Even when i only had 3 ballasts running, i only dealt with two people and never sold less than a quarter pound. But single lbs. was the usual.

the other thing that concerned me a great deal was that you seem to have been maintaining multiple grow ops simultaneously. for anyone else that is dreaming of 'going big'... i'd deffinitely recommend that you stick to a single op and that if it isn't big enough... then close up shop and move somewhere else where you can be bigger. Like open your own small business in the country or some shite. Otherwise you gotta bunch of zits, and every zit can get popped. Ewwwww.

i'm also confused about the part where you say they were putting a ton of pressure on you, and even with your nerves of steel, you felt highly pressured... yet you say it was for like a pipe and a gram of weed (i think). Why would they even be giving half and arse try over a gram of weed?

i ain't calling bullshit. i'm just saying that it sounds like you were playing pretty fast and loose. and that luck may of had a fair amount to do with how you've managed to stay growing for the past 20 years. being someone that has more balls than brains myself, i can appreciate what you have done. but i'm not sure that you are the best role model, no offense intended.

most of my deals are that or lower. this keeps the margins high. i try to keep them slightly under Qp's and some were just OZ's
Not going to cali, and its 91 ballasts is a actual number, i used between 10-20 per location, hell they were everywhere, at any given time i had 6-10 sitting in the living room @ home. i used to buy and sell off craigslist and would sell all gear i didnt want to a local shop. All these goods are moving as soon as the final shutdown is over. i will post my last nice harvest this week then go out with the biggest bang ever.

Fdd i really thank you for cleaning up a bad mess for me a short while ago,
maybe now you can understand why i was freaking out. 2 weeks ago i was sitting on over 780 plants at three locations, so losing 4 was nothing. But that signaled me this run was over. hell the 10x10 room in my journal had 34 alone and 4 lights. this was nothing but put all these things at different places and another untold flaw and you can see the mess that. another room had been hit 6 months ago also so i was walking a tight rope, i lost a shit ton of cash this year and when all this is over i want to enjoy whats left. We dont have clubs to dump goods on. We dont have cops that dont turn a head, or walk away, people like me are seen as cash cows. there are so many loose ends in this run it had to end, and rather than sit on 4 places and hardware, its time to end. i estimate i will recover over 50k from all the goods, controllers, trays. like i said its insane. Not that i have the need to prove anything, but i wanted to do one last money shot. i so wanted to show my BIG Dig last year running 18k alone. just cant show it all. i will send you a link to my listing when its up, i have been relocating all these goods a a warehouse outside elgin texas. you will likely see that largest personal cache of growing good and material ever owned by a single investor.


More over FDD, your bigger than life outdoors, and insane when it comes to trees i would have loved to grow with the sun as over the past few years i have purchased and generated thousand of kilowatt hours, devistating the bottom line. i get jelous every time i see some cali outdoor trees, hell i know know you all get all the love it cost nearly 950.00 for a pallet of FF OF soil here, i bet alot of things are better.


There is alot of untold stuff too, its just dangerous to speak here as google is RIU billboard, and you know it. But again thank you for helping the other day, but you know first hand what its like to get screwed and to
manifacture top shelf only to get burned by the club RIU members or otherwise. i dont take lumps well, and dont need anymore hits on my rap sheet, And a Fresh POM arrest can signal probable cause under certain things, more over, i found out last month my utility company at one location audited my account, there was a billing error, resulting in them realizing they had charged a fuel surchage inproperly resulting in a staggering 2900.00+ undercharge in 13 months. so a bill i though was insane was even higher. reflecting over 57000 KWH hours went on that meter, and the property was less that 1300 sqaure foot.

put all this and other very bad details together and it will make more sence, so for my safety and others, i have done this. More over i also put down the pipe 2 days ago for good. i have left my mark and as you say been the guy i always wanted to be. in fact one member here was a big part of my network, and i a young man taking large risks too. i have watched as a few of my friends have started up and been a mentor to alot of locals, even more than the net. i hope they will continue to keep my genetics around and make thier mark.

Aside from all this, i have a wife and kids under 13 so you can imagine how it has been for them to have a dad always away, always high, and living with dealing, plants, smoking.... you see? my girls were home the first time i got robbed, all this is not worth any amount of money. furthermore i want to kill them once they return next time, and i cant do that if i got thousand of dollars of marijuana and cash laying around.

i didnt even want to advertise this here, however there is simply too much hardware to obliterate all locally. Another issue is putting all this together. the generator alone is 3100 lbs. i must have 2 tons of clay,
thousands of containers Water farms clone machines, carbo filters. and all has to find a home and there are only a limited # of retailers and only 3 i know of market used goods. i simply can not hold these more than 90 days from jan 1.

i will be posting on craigslist, in austin san antiono dallas and houston. i have a warehouse rented for 90 days to hold all this, however alot of these goods need to be tested by the end user before purchase . so this is a really tough spot. and i am concerned how to advertise and market without flagging LEO. and alot of these goods have residue that needs cleaing, and i got my prints everywhere. and i just gave them a fresh copy of them to LEO a few days ago.

If my old helper reads this " i need to let the cat out still " if you can help
SS1, SNS1, and many others are you loved are yours you only have a few day to get them. the burn barrell is waiting. also i would love it if you came to collect all my foods from the "country" i also need to remove everything from there and that storage ASAP. i need help
removing all out prints and evidence at that location. If you want to come get what you need, your more than welcome to. i need alot of help jan4 - 9th. if your hurtin i will double your old wage for this cleanup.

hit me up K.R. it will be worth it.

alot of these guys have to "come up" and to put if frankly none of these cats around here were able to stack lots of paper, most move to the 2-4 oz levels. when i put it out unpaid, i lost so i moved anything from 180- 2500 and over a QP here. at some points these cats come by every day.
it was risky, but overall worked well. people who know me, generally call me a asshole. this is how i am. it could have back fired anytime, but i kept each part and most people seperate.

YES tons of traffic,

One point to clear up, 20 years is about the time i got nailed for 26 plants at my home, after that i only smoked and did small things, a few years ago, it blew up, i just kept adding lights rooms and retialers.

Saying i am a legend is a over statement, i Fucked up almost 25% of my plants over the last few years. i beti burned 50k worth of bud that didnt make the grade this year alone. my helper used to put 4 foot trees with mites and other probelms in the burn barrell. my thought was always A+ or nothing. i could have done alot of thing better, but it is what it is......


i would personally replace Legend with the word, stupid, as i have place myself family and friends at tremendous risk. i wouldnt change the past one bit now, however i am securing my future. what kinda fool spends 7/8 of his life taking risks? has thousands of dollars tied up all over the place and at anytime could have with a young family???? well i did. Was it worth it? let me answer that in 3 weeks.............

going Big seems cool and the money is fantastic once you have what you need and itspaid for. but paying thousands for palced you destroy sucks too. i fucked up 3 homes this year. one was a rental! but thats how you roll when you dont have time to think. and buying and selling property with your name on public records leaves a trail. i simple young investigator could literally tear me apart.

Legend ...... no lucky YES
