This is the time of year us outdoor growers begin to worry.
It starts when buds begin to form and isn't over until the buds have been harvested.
Rippers, both private and gov't, will soon start making their rounds.
Private rippers have a reason to wait until Sept.; they want to smoke your pot.
The gov't however waits because they want to break grower's hearts.
They sometimes find out about a grow in say June, but will wait until Sept. to rip them off. They get off on knowing they maximum fucked over freedom growers. They know that the longer they wait the more it will hurt the growers, that the growers are almost drooling with anticipation at that time.
If you get ripped off before budding begins, it doesn't hurt that much; the thieves just got leaf.
But if they wait until a week or so before harvest, when the plants are thick with buds (as much as 2 lbs. per plant), that hurts much more, believe me.
My paranoia level isn't as high as it used to be when I grew in the mountains outside of L.A. Now my plants are on my own land in N. Calif, very remote.
Also, I am in 100% complaince with Prop. 215 (Calif's med-mj provision), so I don't worry about local cops. And since I'm not a public advocate, and have less than 2 dozen plants, I'm not worried about fed. heat. But private rippers are always a worry.
Most people out here who want pot, grow it. It's rural, and the cops don't fuck with personal grows, 'script or not. But there are low-life's who would rather steal other people's medicine than grow their own.
