to boobie trap or not to boobie trap

Best form of boobytrap is discretion, if your growing outdoors, put the plants in differnet places, that way if you get a male or a hermie out of nowhere it wont ruin yyour whole crop and just be discreet about where your going, cover your tracks, i learnt a good trick about leaving some money in a visible place on the way to your ganj so youll know if someones been cos ur notes gone!

Stinging nettles thorn bushes and shit like that, might as well go natural about it, at least next time you go to check on your plants there aint a rotting corpse in a hole with 2x4's sticking out of them....

Peace

Why not just rig a tripwire to A) a loud amplified sound source (with like robots dying or something at 120db) and B) a bunch of high-powered strobe lights in the trees. You know how disorienting that would be at night to some stoned plantjacker? They would probably knock themselves out running into a tree. Totally non-lethal and, in my imagination anyway, funny as shit.

i can see the need for retaliation against rippers is hard baked into many growers
i think most of these ideas are fantasy revenge, few of these will likely be done
how about a less deadly setup, say an 'artificial skunk', a trip wire in the plants and the culprit gets a bit of just deserts, sprayed with skunk juice
ends up smelling like the skunk he is

what if they had a deadly allergy to skunk juice?

set up trip wire around the perimeter.

doesn't seem too likely, won't be drinking it, just on the skin
lot less deadly than a lot of the other ideas here
i think everybody is allergic to shotgun blasts

Sorry bro, I forgot deadpan just doesn't work here. I was kidding. I hope no one here would really set a deadly trap to protect a few measly plants.

Now I'm thinking strobe lights and huge laser disco balls swinging out of the trees to the music of kc and the sunshine band. That should get em running.

you got me, that was actually funny after i reread it
but your idea on scaring rippers got me thinking
what about fake cops, have a few dressed up, have a bit of taped 'cop talk' for realism, maybe a bit of motion
wouldn't think rippers would like that

If you're going to grow on your own property then its pretty easy to set it up to make it hard for crooks to steal your grow.

If it was me i'd put a chain link fence around the grow (with a padlock on the door to get in) and simply put barbed wire and maybe some razor wire on the top. so they cant climb over.

Thats not all...now you get yourself a dog or two (so they dont have the luxury of walking up to the fence with bolt cutters and forcing their way in)...its hard to do when you have two big ass dogs trying to rip you a new a**hole.

beyond that get a camera incase anyone DOES try to get in still...they probably wont succeed but at least you'll be able to see if you recognize them.

so beyond that the only way someone is getting in is if they kill the dogs (ie shoot them) and cut the lock off.

even then if you're guarding your grow you'll be alerted by the dogs barking or the gun shots (should someone try to shoot them) etc.

maybe even a motion light for good measure.



just my 2 cents.


if its NOT on your property (ie. in the woods, hills, forest, etc.) the best i think you can do is look for the most hidden piece of land you can find. a piece of land that isnt frequented by people...

thats the best you can do.

my two cents.

short of murder, booby trap or no booby trap your plants will get taken if someone is after them.

they'lll either find em and think hey, free weed, or they'll get boobietrapped, and then figure it must in that case be right fucking worth the effort as there's probably some gold dust around the corner.

i tend to think that placing boobytraps is just a plain fucking awful idea. as said, the only effective one would be something that will cause grevious bodily harm, siuch as punji traps etc, in which case chances are if anyone get's caught, the authorities will get involved pronto, and i know enough now not to give the authorities any reason to be investigating a grow you setup, god knows what technowlegy they have these days for collecting and finding dna and such and such.

and even if they don't, there go ya plants.

so yeah, i say stupid

Ya know...Everytime I read these topics I remember something I did to a friend of mine when I was little...I think its time to share...He kept trying to scare all of us (me and a few other friends) so we decided one day why he was out of town we would make a bunch of fake ghosts etc and tie them up with diffirent snare type trips. Well...He got back and we went into the woods (WITH LIGHTS!!!) and he tried to scare one of us and I acted mad, Knocked him over and we went running on up the trail. There was a tree halfway down we always climbed up and we got on top of it he came chasing us down the trail hit the tripwire and got hit in the face by a fake ghost...Didnt see him again for 2 days.

i agree with this.

if i went into public land looking for mj plants to steal (or even if i didnt go there for them and just stumbled across them) and i set my mind to taking them thats what i'd do.

a trip wire will just make me fall down straight on my face...then i'd be pissed...get up...and begin to rip them out of the ground anyway.

death would stop me...short of that id have to get seriously injured by a bobby trap to make me consider going to a hospital instead of stealing the plants.

so you'd have to figure out a way to create something violent to stop them.

so its not worth it.

all you can do is be discreet, put them in the best most remote location you can find and simply hope for the best.

Booby trapping an area is dumb as shit - unless you own the land. You all realize that the majority of people in the woods are not looking for anything short of a good day or some grouse. I'm always in the bush hiking with my family and if anything horrible ever happened because we're in the wrong place, I would set up camp with the plants, wait for as long as needed and put a 12 gauge slug into whoever is responsible.

I am all for booby trapping your property and grow house because its no ones business to be in that area. Set your room up with C-4 to explode on entry for all I care, because whoever was breaking in deserved it...But on public land there are more innocent people, than cops and rippers. Use your heads...

I just let my dogs run out in my woods... Two 80 pound pitties, and motion lights in the trees keep thief's at bay around here.
...oh and I don't have to mention to the neighbors to stay away. I just let the hail of AR rounds early in the morning on weekends speak for themselves... But that's just me... =)
