your dispensary could be next

[Reenster]

can't you have different grow houses/warehouses etc. for each owner/manager attatched to the dispensary? so you could have 99 plants per each owner? as long as they were seperated?

I do believe they can but it would take each location having a license. The added cost could make it prohibitive but we do not know exactly what that might be.

50 ft^2 / plant * 100 = 5000 square feet. Thats actually a VERY SMALL greenhouse as far as greenhouses go.

Theft is always an issue. I wouldn't advertise where you grow. Hire a security company and get insured.

For me to say indoor can't compete is laughable? Well, what's best is only personal opinion, but that statement makes me think you've never been involved with growing in a greenhouse before... which makes the fact that you've expressed an opinion in this matter laughable.

The different strains would be lower? Well, you are limited to just under 100 strains I guess. You'd be able to grow strains that are too long or difficult indoors. Have you ever seen pure Sativas in a greenhouse? Probably not or you wouldn't be showing your ignorance here either.

really? you expect someone to grow 100 diffrent strains at once all under same conditions? on top of that only 1 plant per strain?really? then you have the nerve to pretty much call me a moron? now thats laughable. yes i have seen pure sats in a green house enviroment also pure indy's to. you suggest to throw them all in the same room and get great better than anything on earth results"greenhouse style"? lmao ok dude keep on keeping on i guess......

on top of all that a shop is going to be able to have enough on hand growing this way to supply all of their patients/random walk in's? im speechless here lmao...

The 70/30 is laughable. The law doesn't distinguish various forms of MMJ. If you have 10 lbs of trim, that counts towards your whole % number, so you could resell a few lbs of high grade MMJ without any problem. It just means patient acquisition will be key so dispensaries can justify the amt of trim/etc they have around.

Yes, there is a happy medium where most types of mj will do well. If this doesn't work as well as you'd like you could subdivide it and have separate environmental controls. I didn't say you HAVE to have so many different strains either, but that being "limited" isn't a problem.

I didn't call you a moron, but you calling what I said "laughable" in your first reply to me is condescending and rude. And yes, you are ignorant. It's not an insult, just a fact. You don't know as much as you think you do. Your ego is so big when someone says another growing method might work better you get defensive and insulting. Grow up.

This thread was about how to be able to produce as much as needed with under 100 plants. It's a difficult problem and a worth discussion, but who wants to talk to people who act like you?

And turboawd admitted he hasn't any experience and still thinks a carefully controlled indoor environment is so good? Ha! Dude, I've grown both plants and shrooms indoor and out. Indoor grown stuff is great, but it doesn't have the strength, energy, yield and overall quality of outdoor crops. Greenhouse is the best of both worlds, IMO. Environmental control with natural sunlight. HIDs just can't compete.

[Zedleppelin]

While its true you can grow much larger plants in greenhouses to say the quality is much better is complete BS and if anything could produce inferior product. HID lights add more than enough light for a plants potency to reach its full potential they just do not penetrate to the lower portion of the plant like sunlight does. Temperatures are also much harder to control in greenhouses wich could reduce potency not to mention cloudy days.

Michigan has the same 5 patient / caregiver rule. They are forming collectives, loosely based upon traditional farm collectives and it works well for them.

The new CO law that prohibits "joining together," and as I understand that's specifically for cultivation purposes. But, the traditional farmer collective model might work well here in CO. Although it's not specifically addressed in the new law and likely a gray area, it's worth exploring.

Ahhh good ol home!! Gawd I wish I were there to see them in their infincy!!! I can't wait to go back home to see friends and see what's up with our brothers and sisters in the in the left hand state!

Peace and Props to Michiganders!
