Well, forgive me if I come off too frank here but most of you seemingly well meaning would be clone takers are forgetting how absolutely f*cked you will be if you get caught with them on the way home...assuming it's not from a plant behind your house there are obviously some seriously logistical issues with just "taking clones" from plants you find. You risk getting busted for their grow in the process by just being there in addition to your house/apt getting raided because if you are caught anywhere with live plants or clones even if it's in the middle of the woods trust me they are coming in your house and you are getting investigated.

Next, to all the wannabe Rambo's out there touting the booby traps and make-shift shotgun rigs..this is a really really really big no-no no matter what. You might get a slap on the wrist best case scenario for a few outdoor plants but once you involve booby traps and weapons we are talking best case scenario you only do the next 10 - 20 years in a federal prison. It's one thing to grow a few pot plants but you NEVER EVER EVER risk human life over it. If a police officer or other human being were to get hurt or God forbid KILLED by your dangerous theft deterent system and they find you..you are soooooooooooooooo absolutely toast. (they most likely will because you would'nt know about it until they busted your ass and threw away the key)

In closing, don't steal because you REALLY don't know who is watching....

Stealing is wrong and karma is very very very real trust me on that one.

Don't EVER go near or touch plants or clone them for that matter because your good green thumb intentions could also be mistaken as you stealing the plant by the owner and you might get your brains blown out or worse.

Don't EVER set booby traps or risk human life or safety because this is really really asking for trouble and possibly the rest of your life in prison, plus it gives all pot growers a bad name and we already have enough BS to deal with. If there is a trap or deadly device set by you there are a million and one things that could go wrong like maybe a kid finding your plants and not knowing better and you come to find a dead or severely wounded young child at your grow next time you visit..or see it on the news. Then what the hell do you do? And for some *strange* reason booby traps always seem to backfire somehow, it's just Murphy's law...if it can go wrong, it will whenever something as evil & negative as a booby trap is involved.

YOU are 100% responsible for whatever harm is done by the booby trap PLUS it's a deadly weapon in conjunction with an already existing felony for cultivation..very bad equation in the eyes of the law. And don't think you won't get caught if someone get's hurt or killed because you WILL, they will be sure of that even if it means scraping your DNA off every piece of evidence in the area and most likely video or even satellite's will be used to catch you. Why? Because you don't usually ever know it's gone bad until AFTER the fact. So be safe, sleep good at night..and NO "booby" traps ever..unless they are to catch stinky's sexy ripe perfect boobs hehehe

Now go grow your own & make sure you have multiple patches as back-ups!

If things are meant to grow well, they will. If not, then it just is'nt in the cards this time around..but, there can always be a next time if you do the right thing!



bumboclaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

That means your a theif

Stinky, you sir are a philosopher, you are a genius.
Stinky for president!

im so glad to see some one say this as well i was growing 7 plants scadderd thro the woods and now im down two only one plant and i kno it was ppl not anything else the left diggin tools at the site i was so pissed and have no idea who the were

I just read through this thread and there are some very good points made. I certainly would be very upset is someone stole my plants. But, that is a risk you take growing illegally and on public/some one elses land.
The issue that I have with what some people have written has to do with booby traps and inflicting bodily harm.... If you are growing weed to sell it, what makes you any different than the mexican cartels who grow to finance harder drugs and violencs? You are doing the same. If you are willing to actually harm another person over a plant you are the worlds biggest idiot with the worlds smallest pecker. If I ever found a grow with a booby trap I would destroy the grow and leave it for the growers to find. If I walked onto someones grow and they threatened me I would have no problem calling the cops and identifying the persons responsible. Hurting someone over weed is something a tweaker would do and belive me some posts have sounded like they were put here by tweakers.
If everyone here knows as much and has as much experience as they claim then hopefully you would be smart enough to put your plants where someone wont find them. IF YOUR PLANTS ARE TAKEN CONSIDER IT A LESSON LEARNED. Maybe you shouldnt put them in your backyard in plain sight of the neighbors and where there is no way the plant(s) cant be connected to you. Maybe you shouldnt grow them 40 feet off of a trail used by many people, if you are planting that close then how much work have you really put in?, you deserve to get ripped.
My point is this.
Stealing=bad
harming a person over weed = very stupid and desperate
Planting in a well traveled area = stupid
Maybe if your plants are taken all the blame should not be placed on the culprit but rather the grower for putting them somewhere so easily found.
