Getting paranoid

Smorg said:

Hi OldSchool,

The things is all the viewings are by appointment but my mum failed to tell me about it until it was last minute. It's only me and the mother living here at the mo and the grow is for both our benefit, however I take full responsibility for it every step of the way.

Now someone said if she's anti drug etc etc she would of ratted on me by now I guess that is plausible way to see it.

It's been a good few hours but I got a feeling i'm gonna chance it.

This is a tough call for sure.

I don't think the police will mobilize within a couple of hours over a couple of plants. Maybe she will say something, but maybe not. If you are willing to gamble with your freedom then don't worry because chances are you're good. Just don't be surprised if you get a knock at the door in a couple of days.

yeah man a few hours isn't much time, but I dunno. It seems a fairly safe bet to me but there is still a chance and you never know. Shit happens

I read this whole thread and it doesn't say if they are potted and outside or if they are in the ground. There are several plants that look just like a pot plant. how far away was she when she saw it? is it in flower? is it in the ground? Do you have flower gardens where you could blend it with the landscape? the more you inform us the better we can inform you.....

I doubt she would be like, "hey I love the house, and you're good people and all. Oh yeah i seen 3 plants in your yard, and you're going to jail. But the house is still great." this seems very unlikely. it's harder for the aveage person to rat on you once they've been in your house and have talked to you. But , indications of her personality would help us predict her actions. Did her body language change after seeing them(if she did), did she seem nervous, angry or scared at all, etc. Try to imagine you've seen something you wanted to call the cops on(rape,murder) and picture how you would react. you may even react just by imagining it ie. close arms, face becomes red, expression changes. if she was upset enough to want you arrested, nonverbal comm. would give it away. women are emotional, and its hard for them to hide their STRONG feelings. I would tie the plants down if i were you though to keep them low or move them.

He said she did a double take. That tells me she probably saw and knows what she saw.

She definetely saw, and i think it would stand out to her even if she never seen it before in her life. its a unique plant. It stood out to people thousands of years ago, before anyone knew what it would do. if she was upset enough to tell anyone, it would be noticable. She would act differently if she thought she was in the home of "criminals". ya dig?

Although your right, thousands of years ago, when people didn't know what it could do, it wasn't noticeable to them.

If I was that lady that came to see his house, and I "double looked" at a plant I saw in the back yard, it'd probably be mostly because of how it was placed, or if it just stood out from the rest, such as being left in pots, or planted in somewhat in sight.

If she doesn't know what marijuana looks like, she can't say "Oh, I know what that is", or anything on the sort. Heck, first time my mum ever came into my room when I had my first grow, and she looked into be growing box, she kept looking at it profuseveily, as in doing like Sims (Ooo-aaa-ing the plants, as if they were pets). I just told her I'd gone over to the closest plant greenhouse/store/thingy and bought a plant of peppermint.
(It was still in it's early sprout stage, so it was a reasonable "camouflage".) And since peppermint has very similar leaves, it wasn't too hard to convince her.

So yeah, not because someone looks twice at something that she recognized it. Unless she acted weirdly AFTER the double-look, there's no indication she had any trouble, or any realisation of what it was.

Hey Guys and Girls, sorry for the late reply might as well finish the tale. I had to spend most of the year inside a prison after I got ratted on it was awful that's why I couldn't get back to you all.








Nah just messing! In the end and much to my dismay I had to pull up my babies and dump them it was a real shame. All that hard work, I just couldn't take the risk and the fear that surrounded the suspicion. Still I did live to tell the tale and grow another day. There was a twist to the tale so let me enlighten you all...

After I pulled the plants up I started drying them in black bin liners so no light could get to them in order to break down chlorophyll and prepare them for a wash in Iso-Propyl to utilize the THC and make some oil. While they were drying I could sense me getting ever so nearer to accomplishing this stage of the game even though I missed out on the full flowering. Now although it appeared I had escaped the encounter of the lady witnessing them growing I had another enemy to contend with, one that was hiding right under my nose and whom I never would have thought I'd have to worry about..... My sister.

Yes, while my plants were drying out my sister took photos of my plants to try and incriminate me and she used it in a character statement for a court case to try and damage my reputation. Once I found out about this they were swiftly dumped and the entire project abandoned.

Just wanna state my appreciation to everyone who gave their advice it was very helpful at the time!
