Huh, in the year 2737 BC cannabis was used to treat gout. Which is my qualifying condition for my states MMJ program.

Damn my state needs to go med. I’ve had gout for 25years.

WA laws on growing are the stupidest shit ever.

Ive only grown weed once in college and Id love to start growing again. Weed is fucking legal so why cant I grow a damn plant like I would a tomato. My little porch shed would be a perfect place for 2 mature females.

And here in VT all you can do [after this coming Sunday] is grow said two mature plants [plus four immature???]. And if your ladies are big producers, I am not entirely sure you can posses all of the finished product. No gifting. No stores. This patchwork of laws is stupidity. Oh well, baby steps. I just want to be able to legally buy the occasional gummy for OTC medicinal use. Without a prescription. Without being on a registry.

Yup. They claim it's to maintain compliance with federal law but I think it's because they haven't figured out how to tax home grows. Our state is greedy.

When it's finally our turn, NY will fuck things up at levels never seen before.

They say legalization is approx 18 months away. Because medical is a complete fucking joke here, I bet it's 3 yrs after that before we have retail.

Looking at Cuomo's face alone makes me ill. Prototypical scumbag politician

Yeah but you have bodega's with Bob Marley posters and dusty products on the shelf letting you know what's up.
Long live the dime and nickel bag!

I believe Tap has something like that going on.

Constellation brands is from my hometown...look them up up if you don't already know. The son that took over after the old man died has grown them to a level beyond comprehension. They've made huge investments into the infused beverage market

Congrats to Vermont for going legal!

Definitly a minimalist approach to legalization, and it'll be intresting to see how this plays out

So, what's the general TGR consensus for a small plant operation? I'm looking to stick to the laws of 2 matures and 4 immature (seems reasonable; how many Oz do I need?)

So far I've got 3 starters outside in pots and need to transplant to bigger ones.
I'm also Looking to start some clones with a aero garden I have lying around.

I'm leaning towards a Couple hobbiest size tents 48x4/36x36 yield lab looks legit and affordable. https://growace.com/yield-lab-48x48x...gaAvarEALw_wcB

I'm intrigued by advancements and economy a LED. What size wattage do I need for a 2-4plant canopy? I'm Thinking 450-600. Is Any additional lighting, like a small quantum FS white light advised?

TIA for any advise

@MPPG - several things...
Disclaimer -I work for these guys https://smartgrow.systems/vertical-farm-systems/. I use their lights. I also only grow Sativas now, and trade for all the indica I need.

First - some planning
- do you want to keep moms/clones as well as bring plants to harvest? That means two tents, lights, etc. Plant count also gets tricky - do clones become an “immature plant” as soon as you slice them off the mom?
- how many rotations do you want to run? Fewer rotations = bigger plants and higher consequences of fuckup, more rotations = more yield and diversity over time.

Second, I agree that you need 500w LED to flower and 100w for mom/clone. Be careful about advertised wattage though - that light you linked is only 200W. It theoretically puts out the same photonic energy as a 450w HPS.

I grow three flowering plants in dirt in a 24x48 tent using a 500w wide-spectrum light. A three week veg cycle, then 11-14 week flower (strain dependent) cycle will fill the area by harvest. I keep the light about six inches above the canopy.

I Get about 1.5lb per rotation this way - again strain dependent. Durban Poison(my daytime fav) yields 2lb, last Cinderella crop was 1.6lb, last Bubble Gum crop was 1.25. Could yield way more with a sour diesel.

I do three crops a year this way - my garage isn’t heated so Xmas-Prez Day is down. I could get another rotation growing 8wk indicas, but I trade for that. 4-5 lbs per year is way more than I can consume, and the legal possession limit is 8oz here.

I have a bunch of friends (and customers) that keep a nice selection of moms for cloning, so I don’t need a separate mom/clone operation.

10 x 10 tent running 4 1ks of mixed spectrum. I was able to pull a good amount out of this "hobby" setup.

That whole basement was eventually filled.
