I Almost got busted once. It was at my last apartment, i had about 6 females going late in to flowering. We made the choice to buy c02 instead of a carbon can filter(get the filter if u have to choose between the two). We knew it was smelly but since we were living with it we really didnt notice all that much. Well i get a ring at the door, more like some one was constantly pushing the door bell over and over again like the place was on fire. It was my space cadet of a landlord(Most of em are) and she was fuming red in the face. She said she was next door cleaning out the place as a tenant had just moved. She said the stench of cannabis was soo strong that she said we either were producing hash oil, or we were growing alot of pot, here words exactly. So i tell here im just smoking alot of weed because i just got fired, which was true. She told me to take care of the smell and she left.
I called my partner in crime over to tell him about what just happened, and not more than 15 minutes later i hear a loud knock on the door.We were up stairs so We look out side the window to see my land lord and the Police standing at my door. Well needless to say this scared the fuking shit straight out my ass. My friend bolts for the back door and jumps the freakin fence and runs across the street to a near by school. Mean while im stuffing all the grow equipment in the the closet, turn off the lights and curl in to a little ball in the corner of my bathroom smoking what I presumed to be my last cig for a long time. I called my friend begging in vain for him to some how help me, but there was nothing he could do. so next i called my Dad, who just so happens to smoke just about as much as i do. I told him the situation and he told me he would call right back. While waiting for him to phone back my friend calls to tell me the cops have just left. So my dad calls back and i tell him to bring over a car and some trash bags and he was there in no more that 10 minutes. We scrambled to chop every thing down and frantically packed up all the equipment in to his car. We drove in to the mountians( i live near a ski destination so lots of woods and mountians) and ditched all the stalks and root balls. Then took all the plants bak to his place and we kept em in the basement!
My mother was a bit dissapointed that i was growing but she got over that real fast, and of course my dad didnt care. This was by far the scarryest event in my life. I cant remember a moment in time where i was as terrified as i was when the cops were nat my door. Im just happy i got a qp in the end and no one went to jail
If there is a lesson to be learnt its make damn sure you spring for that carbon filter
