I must be missing something here. Why would anyone give you control of part of there house to grow in? I wouldn't let someone I know do that let alone a perfect stranger.

Really good point, and I should have addressed the offer and other issues more. I'll try to clarify more.
I'm looking to do my 6 and the other's 6 (or more depending on their situation) at their location. The idea being that not all patients are able-bodied and capable of growing, but might have the space to do it. I have no place to grow, but I know how to do it very well (and really really want to). So, I offer to grow a patient's plants, along with mine, at their location. I handle all things related to the plants. Expenses are negotiable both ways. The patient would keep their half, of course, and I would keep mine. I thought we might do a combined batch of extract with the trim (friend with co2 extractor), but that is all in negotiating an agreement.
I too would be a fool to put my plants, equipment, energy and faith into a complete stranger who could gladly help themselves to the plants, equipment, or my life at any time.. I would give and expect some background checking and security measures. My background check's "criminal record" is my resume' in this case. Even cops said on record that my plants were among the 'most pungent' they had come across. - I never thought that would be a job qualifier.
The room would be off limits to general entry beyond the patient and I for both security and quality control reasons. I think the reasons would be obvious, and they should be mutual:
If my partner shows the garden to their friends, there exists the risk that one of them will cause problems like theft, infestation, contamination... Also, I am very meticulous about the 'atmosphere' in the room. Too many growers and patients are not even aware that the carpet fibers that fly up when a door is opened in a carpeted room are made of plastic. These will stick to buds, especially sticky ones. Who wants to consume plastic?
Because of my "resume," I was not able to be my own grower until this year. I signed up a buddy as my grower, just so I could list a place - They will not let you list your own place if you have a growing offense. He gave me nothing for having listed him, and actually charged me more than the dispensaries for lower quality pot. I'm not going to do any of that; it's why I think I'm offering something fair. All a person would have to do is list me as their grower at their place as far as I know. We'd have to verify with OMMP - another check in the security.
I guess I'm offering an "I'll do our plants at your place (near Tigard, where I live), and let's make sure we are all honest." kind of a deal.
