This is my first question here so apologies if I am in the wrong place. After spending so many hours reading and learning on this site I thought this would be the best place to get some advice from like minded people.
My husband and I had an opportunity a couple of months ago to obtain 2 very healthy White Widow plants at a cost of $200 each (very reasonable) as the owner could no longer take care of them. They were too good to pass up and 2 months later we are so glad we got them.
We only had one day to say yes as the previous owner was getting on a plane and we did not actually have the funds on that day so a friend offered to lend us the $200 for one plant while she purchased the other for herself. We repaid the $200 only 2 days later so it was a short term loan. The friend was not in a situation herself where she could grow her plant so we agreed to raise hers with ours in our room. Initially my husband was supposed to speak to her to finalise the agreement on the split but I have just discovered that the chat never happened. The friend knew (she was told by me more than once) that they would be having that chat. It just didnt happen.
Now we are three weeks away from harvest. She has contributed her share towards nutirents during the grow. That has been her only contribution apart from the initial loan. She did also offer to pay some money towards the power bill but I declined that offer knowing it would be sorted out at the end.
Now the friend is saying that she thought she was getting 100% of the harvest from her plant. She believes that is fair because she lent us the $200 for 2 days to get the plant in the first place.
I was shocked when she told me this and I explained to her that normally the grower would be getting something for all the work, the risk, the power (2 600wt HPS) & water etc etc.
She believes that is not really fair, but stated that perhaps a quarter, or a third of her harvest coming to us is the absolute most she could accept. She was not happy about it though.
Obviously I've learnt a lesson here and will never agree to help a friend like this again as it has only resulted in problems but I'd love to get some impartial opinions on this one as I'm not really sure what is fair here.
Cheers from Oz!
