I agree for the most part, but I wish we had a better selection of stores.

The common theme with any store I have been to is the staff, while friendly, know absolutely shit about Cannabis. Other than the scripted sales pitch they have been told, in order to move whatever old flower is in house.

I've had multiple mistakes made, when getting discounts. 20% off the whole tab, as opposed to the one item. Bonus dollars that had been redeemed, but still showed. Even when I said, "I think I used those..." Sales girl: "Well... They are still there.".

Too many employees, that need to be working at the mall.

The scanmask brand is good for most anything. They don't have different mixes. Outdoors where your're at is a good question. I used them in the south in Arkansas(ozark mountains) and would apply them in april. Indoors I apply them every 6 weeks.

I would assume whenever you typically plant outside could be a good starting point. June 1st could be a safe application date. I'm assuming Salida area, although my colorado geography isn't the best as I have only been here a few years.

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -

Pitkin County commissioners have approved the first outdoor marijuana crop on a trial basis.

The Aspen Times reports (https://bit.ly/1VJh8rp ) that commissioners on Wednesday voted to approve what they call a "one-year experiment" allowing an already-permitted indoor marijuana facility to grow as many as 250 plants outdoors this summer.

The agreement requires the owners of Stash marijuana dispensary in Aspen to install a driveway camera on their property near the outdoor crop and to build an aesthetically pleasing fence around the grow. Commissioners approved the operation under the condition that they can shut down the grow at any time if complaints or problems arise.

State law requires any outdoor facility to be as hard to break into as the indoor grow building.

Looking to get some info on growing in Colorado I live in Florida at the moment and I am ready for a fresh start tired of Florida and having to hide. Looking to sleep better at night. I am wanting to grow any where from 50 to 75 plants indoors/outdoors. What would I need to do to get started.

Any one with info please chime in Thank you.

Honestly, About a half a million dollars...If you can't cover that you can't cover state lic. laws. End of story. You might squeak by about 10-12 plants through other channels but unless you got cash to throw down I would say stay where you are.

You can grow that if you are in the right county/city. Do your homework, and have fun on your new journey.

Honestly that's just not that many plants. I had 20+ moms when I was in Arkansas. People get hung up on what they "perceive" as a lot of plants, but if you are going to flower 50 at a time, then you need the mothers, clones, and teens to support such an effort.

In Colorado you will also need to be in the proper county/city with legit paperwork from a doctor. The doctor paperwork is getting stricter though. Which is good, and bad.

It's all doable, and not as hard as you would think. If you are wanting to rent a place then that is going to make it much harder, and way more expensive.

A grow house in Denver can run upwards of 5k per month. They will tax you for growing most anywhere.

If you buy a house you will be in much better shape.

When you decide that you are going to go for something, and you don't let anything stand in your way, you open the door for great things to happen. And once you have made it that far, after having known what things look like from the bottom, you may find that the view from the top, is that much sweeter. Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.
