GROWER IN DILEMMA: How to confront a possible fellow grower?

So, I have a friend who built a house within the recent few years. He gave me a tour of it once and a really detailed one at that. He mentioned an "unfinished" room that he joked he wanted to turn into a panic room.

Anyways, he always has a variety of weed. Like 3-4 strains normally, but sometimes he will be dry for weeks. Says he buys a variety in bulk at a time. He smoked me and my girl up to beyond retarded. We sampled all strains he had (Bubblegum, White Rhino, White Widow, and Northern Lights X Diesel). Even loaded me a one hitter of kief.

To get to the point, I think he is possible growing. I believe his "future panic" room is his grow room.He was talking it up for being organic, and that they werent compressed at all and were still very fluffy, basically looked a little like some homegrown. He knew enough about bud to be a grower.

I ended up picking up a bag of the White Rhino and White Widow. He even gave me a nug of the bubblegum to try out.

How do I possibly pop the question? That is, "Hey dude, serious question...Do you grow your shit?"

if he wanted it to be any of your business then he would tell you... on the other hand.. if you really want to know then why dont you start growing yourself and then ask him for advise..

I have a small grow going on myself. So, thats why I am wondering. It'd be nice to talk to another grower.

Why would you care? Dude sounds like a pretty generous guy. If you want tips on growing, just ask him. If you are worried about competition, don't.
There's enough for everyone.

at least he's good at it (if that is his)

but if he's building his own house, he's probably got the coin to buy it for real too... its a tough question... kinda like, "can I fuck your wife?" haha... well maybe not that bad.

dude thats only like 200 bucks your holding...not to sound like a hater but if you gonna post a pic of your dough make sure its when you got a little more than 200 bones.......sorry to be of subject i just thought his avatar pic was funny....but his advise is good....or just ask him hey...im thinkin bout growin one or two in my closet..can you get any baby girls of that last weed you let me sample...if hey says yea chances are he is growin....win win situation...you find out your answer and you get some good strains to grow..let me know how it works out

I would say his buds all look the same so that would be another question to ask lol

Your friend is definitely growing in my opinion. Very few are able to pick up high quality bud like that of several different strains that hasn't been crushed and mis-handled. He is almost making it obvious, smoking you up so hardcore, that kind of pride only comes with growing it yourself. IDK, I would probably just force it out of him, just say there is no way he keeps getting bud like this from a dealer. Say you can't help but notice the similarities in all of the bud he sells, it should all look similair no matter what the strain is if he is growing it in the same way every time. I bet he has been trying hard not to tell people, so he may even get excited and give you a tour after not being able to tell anyone for so long.

i see you got it.

We need a secret handshake.

Oh I had another idea. Get a Fox Farm T-shirt, or make one that says "when in doubt, flush it out", or just anything related to growing, and see how he reacts to it. If he seems to stare at it, or reacts strongly in a different way, it's pretty much a dead give away that he grows. Why the hell else would you care about some random t-shirt.

Thats what I'm thinking. When my girl finished up probably take it over there (Only 5 weeks into flower), might ask him then.

everyone get a tatoo of 6oow eye hortilux hps bulb where it is visible...then we will know...bwhahahhahaa

maybe he doesn't want you to know. that's why he hasn't told you. you could show some respect and leave it all alone. just a thought.

If I were you there would be no reason to complain.

really i wouldnt say a thing cus if he goes down and u know u were prob the newest person to learn about it and thus a suspect to him and like all the others say he will tell you if he wants you to know the only thing u might do is ask him if he has a dealer with some clones u can get taht will awnser your questions and u never have to tell him u know who knows he could be crawling this site and see your post and then know

I dont understand your desire to take away from your friends privacy,if he wanted to share his grow experience he would,no matter how you approach him more likely than not your going to make him uncomfortable at the very least,hell it might catch him off guard so badly he might kill the grow op & never grow again for fear you'd blab to friends & further jeapordize his security.

Here's another thought,you start making subtle hints like wearing fox farms t-shirts or talking about your grow,now this guy spends the rest of his time thinking damm,if so & so figured it out what do my neighbors know,what do the police know,who has he told ? i know he talked to his wife about my growing & i know she told everybody in her family,and all her friends.

If i were you i'd show the man respect & stick to talking about things you enjoy as friends,what you propose has the possibility of making him paranoid or killing the friendship.

I'd say no and seriously consider stopping. If someone wanted to show me their grow, I still wouldn't say anything right away. I want to know how many people know about their grow and who they are. I don't need someone who's going to be giving tours of their garden to the neighborhood and telling everyone I grow too.
