I found someone elses plants. What to do?

What about the revenge factor for scrapping his shit?

I'm pretty sure you should think of some way to influence him to leave via making it look like a 3rd party, not just someone else who grows close.

What's to stop him from reading your personal note and being like "Fuck this guy, i'm gunna wait him out" and then exacting revenge. You don't know him/her. They could be absolutely nuts.

So i vote 3rd party (i.e. cop note and card, maybe a fake land-owner note, whatever) rather than one from you like "hey, i was here first!"

LST it for them.

Bend and tie it like a pro and they will know your alright.

It would be funny to read a thread "Someone LST'd my outdoor plants"

JK, I wouldn't touch them and would start looking for a better spot.

i am really surprised ppl feel the need to include police at all or scare tactics. if he doesnt own the land and each grower is guerilla farming co-exist or move on.

The OP found the other guy's poorly hidden location on the way to his own location. There is no other way it could have happened, which means there is probably some sort of path/trail both are utilizing to begin with.

With this in mind, I'd leave it alone b/c odds are someone else will stumble across it first...and rip it come October if it isn't discovered beforehand by the cops.

I agree about all the people talking about ripping the plants too. Thats terrible, and I would literally be heart broken and in a really bad spot if someone totaled my crop, but thats why I grow indoors. Haven't you guys seen those bumper stickers


Lol, thought that was a funny one, but seriously there is way too much anger with some in our community. We all need to work together to push into the future. The ONLY reason Cali didn't legalize a few years back when they had the vote was because of all the growers, and dealers that voted against it because it would have cost them money. So despite the people it would keep out of jail, and lives it would better, and all the other benefits they are worried about profits. I hate when growers refuse to share cuts, and isolate genetics so they can corner a market. This plant is all about love, connection, and healing we need to be sharing our best genetics (as long as the people can really grow), and helping each other like RIU is about in the first place. That is how new better strains will be made, not by the pollen chuckers, and commercial breeders like Swerve that don't really care the outcome. Ok I'm done ranting.

I think a "landowner" note, or a note from "a hunter" would be a great idea. This would be a third party as was mentioned previously, and take any suspicion off another grower. Personally if I found a note on some plants I would be taking what I could carry, and maybe snapping off some branches to save genetics, and getting the fuck out for good. This could actually leave you with extra plants come harvest time. If it became obvious no one was caring for them any more, or no one fever came to harvest them I'd prolly water them once ina while if need be, and I'd harvest them sure as hell before I'd let them rot on the stem BUT ONLY if it was obvious the guy was gone.

The guy that mentioned a trail cam was also spot on, that being said WATCH FOR TRAIL CAMS GUYS!!!!! Lots of hunters are using them now, and are very good at hiding them! If you set up a cam you might find out its your best friend or your next door neighbor that is the other grower and you would have never known.

If yours are in pots and you can move them, that would be your safest idea since its plausible this guy could have walked off into the bush and found yours, or could any day. Otherwise I would prolly try a non threating note. Simply "To the person who owns these plants. I am the land owner here and I came across your garden and don't want to damage it or cost you anything, but it can't stay here. I will be watching the area to ensure you remove these in a timely manner or I will have to. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I don't want this stuff on my property though I wish you the best in your venture." or something along those lines I think would scare him right off with out being unpleasant or threatening. In reality its just safer for both of you if one of you moves so how hard is moving might decide what you end up doing here.

The idea of leaving it as cover for your grow is a bad idea. If yours really is hidden well, but this is close and not hidden it could be enough to draw attention. Even if the cops chop this guys grow, they would definitely check the surrounding woods for other plots, and or possible smell it once it was in full bloom. But if no one ever even gets close the OPs grow could go better un noticed I think.

Move them around every time you go there... If they are in pots... If not transplant the, every time. They will think they are going crazy.. Then you get a trail cam and find out if you know the person.. Hire an Indian tracker they are expensive but well worth it (and typically carry snakes and sparklers ). Have him locate your mystery farmer.. Then you break into his house at night every other night replacing every lightbulb to a dimmer one until, he is operating solely off black lights..now he knows he is going crazy.. Put more and more sugar into his salt and more and more salt into his sugar at this point too. He's loosing his memory and his sight and now his taste. While you are in his house take all his money and account info... You will be randomly depositing sed money into his account over the next month, he won't remember the transactions. This dude is completely insane at this point, and you also know his name have found his handwriting, now you attach a note to his plant ... In his hand writing, signed by himself. This note will say "remember to get milk" and you will have taken his milk the night before. Obviously he will forget because the placebo effect has taken over and when he returns to his house and sees there is no milk he will believe that he has in fact lost his mind. Now that he knows he is insane nd you know his name you wait at your plot, you know what he looks like because you caressed his face while he slept... When you bump into each other you say yo Adam what's up man I didn't think you would show that voice mail seemed stressed... Then you take cre of his plants with him and split the yield of course.

this is the only logical means to an end.

Yes get Kickin-Wing on the horn! tell MothaFucka whats up.

make sure he has all female plants, i had a huge grow ruined by little kids growing bag seed reject weed!

I don't know why you think other growers are going to be cool with you growing along side of them. Offline, in the real world, growers do not usually help each other or want to be noticed. Most of these people are paranoid as fuck. You need to either get rid of his shit or move your grow out of that area. Thinking you two can co-exist sounds really naive (not meant as a personal attack).

I say move on and leave his/her plants alone but set up a folding chair with a scarecrow init at his site cost a few bucks but would be priceless

Just came across this thread and man THAT’S FUCKED UP!

Here’s my 2cents

You really only have two choices,

1. Rip his shit out and leave a cop card if you can. But if he's growing there it's obliviously a spot people know about.

2. Take a heap of cuttings of your plant’s and move on.

This to me makes the most sense as you can just walk away without any bullshit. If someone’s already growing in the area to me the site is already compromised strait of the bat.

No ifs or Butt’s.

Fuck leaving him a note letting him know you’re growing close by!! I don’t know about other people
on this forum but when I grow weed outdoors I’m not looking for new friends!

Fuck No!!!!! I don’t want a “NEW FRIEND KNOWING I’VE GOT 3-4 POUNDS OF WEED GROWING NEAR BY”

How do you know he won’t rip his shit out and move on and then come back looking for yours? Just because you won’t steal his plant’s doesn’t mean he won’t steal yours!!

You don’t know him so why risk all the bullshit? Once he knows you’re in the area the damage is done and you can’t take it back. Think about it? What happens if he does find your babies? You do all the hard work and he’s just waiting for the right time to rip’em.

Fuck that!!

To many risk's involved bro, it's time to just walk away.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Peace

Make friends - lol

Plant some males around his and leave :/

Just move your plants into the other persons garden. Everyone knows real guerilla growers are kind, understanding, and helpful folk. Especially when they meet strangers in the woods. They'll probably water them for you when your not around and you can look after each others plants. Then come harvest time you guys can split everything 50-50 and sing kumbaya around the fucking campfire.

C'mon The only real, safe choice if you want even a chance of a harvest this year, is to get the fuck outta there and quick. Take some plants, clones, whatever and never look back.

Personally, I have had this happen to me before. Lol it turned out to be one of my buddies haha. Make friends not enemies. I don't know why people think you could get shot because if he only has 10 plants and his spot is not well hidden then he is most likely a beginner. When this happened to me, I bought a extra bottle of nutes and left that extra bottle of nutes with a note saying "Welcome to grow bro, nice looking babies. Hope you get some pounders. ". We ended up running into each other one night for the first time. We kept hearing someone and we thought it was the cops so we were running and we ran into each other on the trail and realized it wasn't cops it was just us lol. But try to make friends, if his plants look healthy then leave him some nutes for his babies and a note giving him tips on how to better hide his spot. You're still safe as your spot is still hidden, just make sure not to give up your spot and make sure the way to your spot isn't showing. If you make friends with him then thats awesome, but if not since it seems like he is a newbie to this it might freak him out and he will move and stay away. Don't chop his shit down or steal them because growing weed shouldn't be about stealing, its about growing beautiful plants and enjoying life. Don't rip his plants cause who to say he doesn't know about your spot as you know about his? If you feel threatened or at risk then just move spot, its hard to do but if you feel you must then you must. Just don't kill his babies....its bad karma IMO especially if he does know about your spot cause then you bet your ass he will come after your plants.

And how do you know for %100 that this guy wont still his weed when it's ready? Fuck that!!

Like I said you don't need new friends you just meet in the bush when growing. Sure it might have turned
out alright for you but that doesn't mean it's going to be all good with the OP.

Just my opinion, but I would be out of there! The site is compromised Period!!

Peace guys

If anyone should take a loss here, it's the other guy. He made a mistake by making his grow obvious, and you shouldn't have to pay for it. But cutting his plants or scaring him is a little unethical. Making yourself known to him is risky, so really you don't have any good options. You either have to move on somewhere else with or without your plants, leave a note/make yourself known, or do nothing and hope you don't run into each other.

To me it makes no difference who's at fault, there's the potential for the OP to lose his crop. Think of it this way-

If the op was able to find his plants, what happens if some hunters, land owners or hikers ect stumble across them and tells the cops?

Then what? Cops and helicopters all over the place! It's not a good thing which ever way you look at it.

This is just my opinion and no malice intended to anybody.

Peace

the other guy mit have the land permission and why he planted openly

That could be a possibility also? Even more reason to high tail it outer there LOL

Agreed. There are already so many variables that can fuck your crop. Your chances of actually harvesting anything this year will be much better if you just move.
