The reason you let it sit is that you want to evaporate the chlorine. As far as the other salts in our tap water you don't have to worry about them your plants will use what they need and if you flush a little when you water you will not have too much buildup in your soil.I think you said you are using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil if you are then I think you have all that you need in there. That soil is kind of hot so you don't NEED to add anything else BUT if you want to give it a little more muscle I would go with the boosters they are Synthetic Supplements so you are not totally organic but ALLS GOOD.

Hey kids,

pelagic420 asked in another thread about turnaround time and thought this thread could use a bump back to the top for those with the curiosity of NMDOH MCP approval turnaround time.

I sent my renewal paperwork in for patient and production cards late July and received my approval early October of this year 2012; the exact calendar days were 61. A little faster than last year, but not too close to the 30 days they promise.

I hope this information is helpful for those who need it. I also hope everyone has a great Holiday season. May your crops be bountiful and very, very medicinal.

TL;DR - 61 day turnaround for renewal paperwork w/ PPL

Renewal app received by DOH on Monday, December 3rd. Will post date when received. With all the money they are receiving now, they should have hired enough staff to be back to 30 days or less. Especially with renewals. We shall see.

Well, I appreciate the insight on the turnaround.. it seems to be a big waiting game. I accidentally sent my app by registered mail.. big mistake..It took 2 weeks to get there , when it is only a 5hr drive. Dont understand that one.. They received it on Nov. 29th, So I will let people know how long it will take..Not holding my breath, but hoping for a late xmas, new yrs present.. Hope everyone is well..

yep, a little update here. I sent my app in and certified mail stated that it got there 11/29/12. I called today and they said they accepted it 12/7/12 to be processed. She said it can sit in the mailroom. This has been a long process from appts to paperwork to logistics. One would think that if there is a program in effect, that is indeed for medication it would be more efficient. Im curious if other states are like this.

Totally late and all. But I love that honey oil. All day on the vapor swing keeps me happy. Wish these producers would send clones my way. Or if at least I knew who to ask where is a reliable source for a tight budget. Most producers won't ship here to the se corner. Does anyone know the turnaround on a change of address or if you have to re submit the ppl license fee.
Peace

Your location will make it hard to get clones.I know that Greenleaf delivers to your area but don't know if they will deliver clones for the producers,I do know that New Mexicann has seeds and I do think Greenleaf will deliver them. So I think your best bet it to try from seed. As far as the change of address I do think you will have to send it in I don't think you have to pay again for a change of location. P.S. where did you get your oil?

Well its actually wax but close enough right. And its homemade but def good quality. Corigan said they would do clones but man over a hundred bucks a plant. Plus delivery fee and still drive 120 miles to meet them. Some places will sell unrooted for up to twenty bucks a cutting. But that's a risk twenty bucks a plant that might not root. I guess I jus need to get seeds but I'm more of a clone guy. Idk. I guess maybe I'm a little rediculous for thinking producers should hook it up with free cuttings if they're not rooted. Or atleast no more then 5 a pop. But this program is only compassionate ongiving cards, not in helping patients grow. Idk we'll see I might just have to drive up to abq and get some babies. Thanks for the advice tho.

If you could get through the checkpoints going east out of Las Cruces, you could purchase rooted, 2-week old clones from the producer there for $20. Limited strains. No deliveries out of Las Cruces. There are two patient groups that are helping patients with growing and the local producer will answer questions. Get registerered with them and then contact them for more information.

If you plan on making a trip for clones make sure you call and be sure they will have clones for you.most if not all producers are using there full plant count so very limited amounts of clones are available. And as for help on growing you do the internet so you should be able to get info you need here. If you have never grown indoors I tell all that it will take you at least 11/2 years to get the hang of it .Good Luck with your endeavor's in growing

Lol yeah I can't find anyone with any. Except for one but Im Pretty broke so can't afford those at the moment. Def don't want to risk bringing anything back from LC. Maybe some people have luck but not my cup of dank tea. Lol. Need to find someone willing to kick off a couple cuttings, but let's be realistic lol. Just seems that in other states like co and ca you can get a lot more bang for your buck when it comes to clones. Fully rooted for as cheap as like 8 bucks a plant not buying in bulk. So that's pretty good. And every avg joe sells them. I ordered a couple clones here from a producer earlier this year and they brought me flowering plants like 3-6inches tall. kinda peeved me really Bad. a good waste of my money cause they all died in the process of trying to revert to veg. not something you expect from a licensed producer. Just wish we had a better system in our state. Cause if I'm struggling I can only imagine how many others are too.

Happy New Year, all.

Check with the Ruidoso producer. No checkpoints to worry about.

Well if it was corrigan then it was something you could have expected.I still say your best bet is to do some seeds.

Yeah seeds prolly is my best bet. And the producer that brought me flowering clones was budding hope. Not what they advertised the would bring me. The high dollar ones are from corigan. Which id like to try sometime in the future when i cab afford it. I don't shop around much on producers so I guess I don't really know which stores are legit and here to help. Does anyone know if a toda Madre strain by corigan really has that high levels of CBD.

Yes it did test at around 7 % but the way they went about the pricing was not right.Now there are a few producers that have strains that are high on CBD's so you should be able to find a limited amount in the market place.

Check with all of the producers. Corrigan got some publicity on their A Todo Madre but then I understand they just renamed Harlequin. I could be wrong. I also understand that AK47 is testing high. I don't think any strain is worth $800 per ounce. Not sure how they establish their pricing or how any of the patients on the program can afford such a price.

Your right again CFO

$800 per ounce? Are you serious? That's rediculous!

got card at almost 60 days of being sent out..about 50, if you date it when they say they recieved it..A little bit sluggish around there.. A lot of hoops and financial investment to get into this program.. Hope its worth it:).. Hope everyone is well

Hand delivered application on December 3rd for a 3rd time renewal. Had to change doctors, but the MS is still the same original condition. Was told it had to go to the Medical Director for approval due to the change in doctors. Card arrived in today's mail. I am hoping the producers will sound off about this at their next meeting with DOH. This is ridiculous. The LACUA states clearly "30 days". It does NOT say 30 "business" days. We, the patients, pay the fees the producers submit for their annual renewal by purchasing the medicine from the LNPP. My calculations comes to .... (4 x $30K) + (19 x 20K) = $500,000. How can DOH do anything except run an efficient program with that kind of money??? This is BS that it took 2 months!

A co-worker sent in her renewal 60 days before it was to expire thinking it was taking 45 to 60 days. Yesterday she got her cards at day 30 thats 30 days before it expires.Not sure what is going on at DOH but is shows that they can do a renewal in 30 days.

Glad to hear some people are getting their cards in a timely manner. Since doctors change their minds about participating in the program, the patient's application should NOT have to go for medical director approval for a continuing condition....even if the patient had to go to a new doctor.

well, just my opinion on the whole matter,, postcard delivery.. It seems like there is a lot of laziness, or inefficiency from the whole system.. from top to bottom. It is hard on the pt that relies on this medication for daily functionality. I can understand an program requiring time to get there crap together. However, this program has been going on since 2007, and it is 2013. It seems like 60 days for a card is the norm.. good example, is. Once your application gets recieved, it can actually sit in the mailroom for about a week before it even gets signed in. The problem, seems, it is not a priority, and is not seen as amedication but an compensatory adjustment that can wait. From a positive perspective, at least our state recognizes it, and hopefully will get more recognition as more of a priority than some thing that can wait. The renewal info, is good news.. Seems like you gotta get your paperwork in early, and make sure you used the right/same doc..

Received my card 22 days later (not business) after mailing to the DOH. I believe you can get the card much quicker if you don't apply for the ppl at the same time.

Now on to the producers.. Anyone vouch for cg or verdes quality..?

Thanks.

Wonderful news that you received your card in 22 days. We have been told repeatedly that the PPL application needs to go in at the same time since the PPL expires on the same date as the patient license. I just think it is due to them being unable to retain staff. The revolving door in that department doesn't help the situation. And yes, if they were more compassionate (which they should be in this business) they would push the apps through as quickly as possible.

Hello Everyone, I also received my card in less than 30 days (not business). :thumbsup: Now my concern is that the manager in my apartment complex is going to kick me out if he smells my meds. :(

Hey Foxy. You probably should ask your landlord the rules of the complex. My apt manager just said no growing and not around kids. Good luck.

well what you really need to look at is you lease agreement or contract. Your Medical Cannabis is state law. Now unless your lease says specifically no Medical Cannabis then your ok. now the growing is a litle different but the same in a lot of ways. again look at your lease agreement if it specifically says no cultivation of narcotics or "a drug free zone" then you cant. and about the kid thing the DOH will not approve of the PPL if you do not have adequate security for the grow. meaning no kids will have access to the grow or medication. only then will the DOH approve.

Its been 2 weeks since I sent in my paperwork.I found this site/thread a few days before sending it and decided to hold off on sending paperwork for PPL until after I receive my card in hopes of getting it in 20 days or so (fingers crossed).I have a question...Ive started researching some producer info and the half dozen Ive seen so far require you to register with them and wait a few days to a week or more before getting approved to purchase product.Are they all like this or are there any that have same day service?If not,which ones may have the shortest wait time?Any info/advice will be much appreciated...thanks.

I am not sure if you have to wait at any of the producers now that was in the old days.For sure I know at Greenleaf you can buy
the same day you register.

Thanx...I believe Greenleaf is the closest one to me,sounds like a good place to start.Day 16 and counting...

30 to 45 days

Received my card in 27 days (from the day they received my paperwork).Good experience w/Greenleaf...quik and painless registration,great product.

Nice that they are putting them out on time . Good to hear about your experience with Greenleaf.

20 days, impromptu hello as well :)
