The First Rule of Growing Weed

Ok, I admit it... we are rookies but I was thinking tonight I have simple and valuable information for those just starting and have thought about what I wish I knew. The most important being this:

  • The first rule of growing weed is that we do not talk about growing weed
  • The 2nd rule of growing weed is that we do not TALK about growing weed
  • The 3rd rule of growing weed is that we DO NOT TALK about growing weed!

Now doesn't that seem simple? I thought it would be. But then I was thinking about county fairs. Everybody that grows something wonderful wants to show people the "fruits" of their labor; the biggest pumpkin, the best strawberry jam, the most beautiful, fragrant rose.

I am stunned about how when people come over I want to say "come look at this!" Fortunately it has never happened but the desire to do so is almost always there! You know, stir up a little shock and awe by demonstrating our sweet weed growing skills. You can see it.

Now I have contemplated many illegal acts in my day (most of which include a 9mm and my ex's knee caps) and always thought I could get out of it by rubbing crisco oil in my hair, putting my underwear on the outside of my pants then peeing myself and showing up in a public place. Most people view that as full on crazy and most of the time they would be right. However, a 10 month old female weed plant in all her glory gives off a certain "air" of premeditation.

I'm sure you like me have wonderful family and friends that would not maliciously spill the beans, that's not what worries me. It is the idea that THEIR; friend, neighbor, co-worker, boss, mom, dad, sister, brother grows weed! Almost too cool not to share!! That said, they have no skin in the game...it is all your ass all the time. If you must, choose one person that you would trust with your life to tend your nursery when you are out of town.

The "farmer at the county fair" syndrome is real!! You must not give in to it!! (See rules 1-3)

I hear ya there man. Proud pappa comes on hard when ur SMOKIN the shit u grew and people are like 'damn, this is the shit, where'd u get it?' I got one guy i let in my grow room, just one. Needless to say, I'm the only one he can trust, and he's the oly one I can trust.... I let him check out the grow, hook him up with his own plant to fuck with however he wants, and even let him have his fucked up plant in the end to smoke.

I grow tomatoes, only tomatoes. You want to see what growing tomatoes looks like, go grow your own.

It's not for a lack of trust, but it's my ass and not theirs.

I think the lack of response has much to do with the fact that many know they have already breached protocol. Life is like growing your own weed. No matter how much you read you can not replace experience.

Sitting really still does not mean that you cannot be seen. The 800 pound gorilla in the back of the room remains.
