Forced to harvest early?

[The Stoned Jester]

yeah that really sux bro, and yeah like others have said they will be back and they know now so make sure the rest of your house is secure.

 

good luck sorting it out.

pull them ASAP. they will be back. my advice is set-up security cams and to grow indoors.

Really feel for you man,

I myself am at the stage of do I leave it for 2 more weeks or pull now and atleast get something.

Tough Call!!  And the really shit thing is that they will be checking your garden next year too.

If it were me, id be willing to take the fine from the cops just to see them get done!

Thanks for all the support and advice. I have "removed" 2 of my three girls to a very safe place where I can care for them without fear of rippers. The third one which is in the ground I decided to leave alone until the paranoia gets the better of me and I run screaming outside with ax in hand (probably in the middle of the night ha ha).

 

I have organized a "babysitter" for the times I can't be home and am ensuring that anyone coming past my place will be able to see clearly that there is someone home. Have found plenty to keep me occupied and highly visible for the next few weeks. I got to the stage the other night when I had loppers in hand about to chop and thought Ahhhhh Fk'em they are not ready and I am not gonna let some asswipe dictate the terms of my grow to me.

 

This may prove to be my undoing and it could all go pear shaped but the worst that could happen is I lose it. I have now done everything I can to minimize the risk...heading indoors next season for sure...

good on you mate, you seem to have made the best of a bad situation best of luck for some dynamite smoke.

Find you some where that its easy to dig a hole with post hole diggers. Dig a good size hole, and that is where you plant them. I have no use at all for a theif, and especially one that is trying to steal what is mine. Before coving the hole though, add about 50 pounds of Lime. That should stop the stealing!!!

Suggesting people commit murder over plant theft is... really a bit fucked up

Get a big dog?

 

I'd pull the plants for sure, rippers tend to be kids that buy their weed in grams, they are not going to forget about those plants unless they think that ripping them is dangerous.

Hey there......what'd you end up doing? I agree with other posters re. pulling those that are closest to being ready and I always get the microscope out for that. Plus if you slow dry and then give them a decent cure (minimum of two months, preferably longer) you'll never know it was early harvest weed. Good luck.
