We are set up for indoor, but outdoor is so much easier and less costly. Indoor, which we have done, requires strict environmental and nutrient control. I have wireless surveillance cameras out there that link back to a Linux/ZoneAlarm server that triggered to sound an alarm in the event that something passes in front of the cameras field of vision. It works all too well as sometimes a bat at night will trigger the alarm. LOL!

We're entirely in compliance with state laws and county ordinances. In fact, my wife and I went to the Board of Supervisors this last year to get final ordinances in place for outdoor cultivation of MMJ. My wife is a MMJ patient from a rather severe spinal injury that left her with chronic pain.

Again, we are on public record as MMJ growers. All one needs to do is go to my county' website and listen to the audio of the Board of Supervisors meeting in December, January, and February. We also got write-ups in the local paper as outspoken advocates of MMJ. We've also been visited by LEOs and they found our paperwork in compliance.

At least somebody pays attention 'round this place.

very cool...do you feel nervous at all about the feds recent crackdowns in ca and other states that have medical mj laws??

i know all sorts of shit about shirlene...if you had a pretty face and big tits, i'd probably pay attention to you too

 

[jiggagold]

What kinda bud strains do you use

LOL! Point taken. **grin**

 

[simply dave]

My wife is the grower whereas I'm the "engineer". She's the artist and I build the systems/irrigation/security...etc.

I just asked her what she's got going on this year and she's growing out some special genetics (she's hooked up w/ some big names in the industry now and has established herself as a knowledgeable grower). She's got some landrace Africans (sativas) that are special hybrids along with some Purple Zebra and Mendo Pineapple. She's got a shit ton of seed strains that I can't even count.

Not too much, but we are distressed at what they're doing to these collectives. We aren't even close to the allowable maximum plant count that our county allows (24). We know many people who are in dire need of MMJ and they don't own property to grow, so they have to purchase their MMJ. Unfortunately, many of these folks are too poor to pay dispensary prices. Add the "double whammy" of the Feds shutting down the dispensaries and what option do these folks have but to purchase from the black market? The Feds are actually forcing people who benefit from MMJ to fund organized crime that have no compunction about growing in large operations...sometimes on Federal land. It's a fucked up situation.

it should have been legalized a long time ago...

 

[wootoom]

I want to grow hydros

 

[gatemoney]

Can you grow test?

 

[simply dave]

Can you grow test?

I can swear that I read an article that Test is derived from Sweet Potatoes or Yams, but I'm not familiar with the process. We are growing sweet potatoes at the moment. **grin**

 

[wootoom]

I've never done test...what is it?

 

[simply dave]

Some shit that makes you pop boners all the time or something like that. I hear you boil the yams, dice'em up...coat'em in butter and brown sugar, eat 250lbs of that shit and you'll be sporting wood for 2 solid months.

I'm injecting potato juice

 

[gatemoney]

I smoke mine in a hookah

 

[simply dave]

I fry'em up in a nice Canola Oil w/ some garlic, onions, salt and pepper and snort the shit. Gotta make sure the potatoes are minced and not diced or else the efficacy and titration just won't be there.

 

[simply dave]

No argument here...And I don't smoke.
