Setting up for Medi grow
- Thread starter TURBD
- Start date
Electrical permit pulled by a licensed contractor and a city inspection, when the work is done. Good luck. Peace GS
Are all your parts CSA approved? The electrical contractor will know all your needs, if he is worth his money. Peace GS
You're pretty much governed mostly by municipal bylaws, often cities don't even have any regarding medical MJ.
In an outbuilding on a rural property, you're better off not even talking to local authorities unless you need to.

If its just a shop then I'd just get everything plug and play and have the electrician do up a stove plug. Get one of the HiLite ETL timer boards that come with the strove/dryer plugs and you're set tell them its for a welder.
Chances of the city wanting an inspection a slim to none.

Ok. It's in the whack. Any bylaws there I should be aware of?
I was under the impression that it had to be inspected and approved before I started production. I though there were regs on wire used and needed security cameras and so on.
It's pretty basic if I just need a proper power supply.
It can't be that easy. Could it?

I have a couple buddies in the wiggity wiggity wack running big chicken barns who have never seen any problems or inspections.
The city wanted to introduce a bylaw awhile back banning med grows in most types of real estate, however that was about 2 years ago and they seem to have moved on without doing it.

If you don't tell the city they wont know. I know about 40 medical growers from 1 to 200 lights and most of them did the wiring properly but never got he city to inspect it.
Hello:
Gonna put in my two bits here 'cause I just noticed this thread and you really seem to be concerned with security. Please allow me to use an old saying from my past days of ill disrepute.
"A criminal's worst enemy is his own mouth"............
Moral of the story......if you go tell a lot of people or anyone for that fact, then yes, security will be a major issue. If your grow location just looks like what you say it is...a shed out on some 6 acre lot, then who will bother going to check it out? Keep the area around it nice an tidy...keep it clean and mowed if you have grass there and just make it look as though you have nothing but a garden shed or whatever...tool shed, a handyman's shed where he keeps his tools..etc..etc..
Put it this way, if I want into some place, I'll get in it. Locks are only there to keep honest people honest...
Take this from a one time criminal who also has military training.......
As far as sending in the papers are concerned, yes, they want to know what you'll be doing for security. You'll have to elaborate there and say locks, alarms, CCTV, etc....Use your own judgment when it comes to that.
16gpd is 78 plants. There is plenty of electrical web sites available to be able to do your calculations for what kind of power you will need for your set up. As someone suggested, get an electrician and tell him your setting up the shed for welding and metal work or something like that....he'll bring in the necessary main and panel in. The rest, if you're a handy type of individual, is fairly easy. As I said, there are plenty of resources available.
This forum has an electrical and grow room set up section as well..............
Good Luck to you and your future success!!!!!!
P.S. please do not hesitate to ask for help in the proper forums....I have found that there are a great many very knowledgeable people here...
Here is my 'home garden'......yes,,trying out the LED now
Here is the one with my partners.....

High all. I just recieved my MMAR licence to grow 15 plants. What i,m going to do instead of growing in mylar lined refrigerator boxes is buy one of those already lined grow tents that come in different shapes and sizes. For my grow tent i have to buy a couple air cooled lights ,a blower fan, and a 100 pound canfilter.A 5 foot by 10 foot grow tent ranges from around 550 to 800 dollars , plus you need to buy the lighting,fan, and carbon filter.The whole setup is going to cost around 2,500 dollars but you will have a reletively odour free, totally enclosed, and properly ventilated ,growtent.I think thats the way i,m going to go . I don,t want to risk losing my MMAR license for any reason. Peace.
Hi Puffinstuff420.........the pic I have there above of the tent is a 2x4x7 tent and that's 5 plants in there.
If you look through my 'album' you'll see the whole set up there. I can tell you that properly set up, it will not only be relatively odour-free but completely odour-free.
My fan is a 6" 400something cfm and the filter is a mountain-air (something like that)..Works great and that's with the fan on setting 1. It's a fan with a 3 setting switch on it. Actually even pulls in the sides of the tent a bit so I know it's pulling in new air all the time due to the negative pressure in there.
Good Luck
TURBD---------sorry for changing the subject matter on your thread here

Vukman those led's are not even in the pic. That would likely put them further away from plants than I have my 1000 hid's. Thought the idea with led's was you could get them closer. Of course they cover a narrower area closer, guess you might need more. Peace GS
Hi GS.......Yeah, I needed the spread to catch the whole canopy. I'm already looking at getting more,,,,,thank you for the thought and comments...Always appreciate words of advice
Turbd.. I'm sorry my friend, I don't know the minimum that is required on the forms. Everyone I have ever spoken to or heard from has always 'coloured' that part of the application a bit.
I'm sure you'll get the answers you need from someone here..excellent and very knowledgeable bunch we have here so just have a little patience. If I'm not mistaken, there is a security topic within this forum as well... that might be an idea.
Also, I was not trying to be insulting, demeaning or derogatory in any way, shape, manner or form with my previous post. I am sorry if it may have come across in that fashion. I just know that the biggest way that people get themselves into trouble is by talking about their operations or what's even worse, by their ego's taking control of their better judgements and bragging about their operations as well. I apologize if I have over-stepped my good intentions.....
Always wishing everyone here my best.........

Yea I will be surprised if I can even achieve my 16gpd with the space I have to use. It's really small. I have 17 lights and gear from a prievious evdevor but only have space for 3 lights at this location.
You wouldn't happen to have a link to that security topic do you?
I would "color" that area but on the slim chance I get inspected and wrote down metal reinforced door, and it's clearly wood and not reinforced I would get shut down.
Being so small that would sink me.
