First they limit our plant numbers now this.... FUCK IT IM GROWING 99 per parcel!
I wish the supervisors would get off there ass and raise the plant count!
Then it would be worth it.
Im all for protecting the environment. That is what the water board is trying to do.
A lot of growers trash the environment. Im afraid this is not going to stop them
I'm not sure if I "HAVE" to register with the water board. this grow is about 2000 square feet from smart pot to smart pot.
The new grow is going to be 9000 square feet. But I dont have surface water. I answer no to all the water board questions so I'm not sure.
Other friends are registering with the water board.
Im sure with sb 266 the county will not permit with out the water board registration.
They are going to extort us growers for all we are worth.
Im still not sure what Im going to do have a few weeks to make a decision. More likely some spots I'll register with the water board and others not.
Thanks for the insight Mendo, appreciate hearing how others are feeling about what's happening around us. I feel like I'm going to keep my garden around the 2000 sq. ft. guideline, at least the garden that is "in plain sight" you know, I see myself hiding plants on my property because of what is coming down the line. If you look closely at the wording of the license requirements the state is trying to implement, the multi-tier system, it's all a framework for a "commercial grow". By applying for a license, you are stating to the state that you are growing "commercially". It seems that if you are growing "only for your own medical use" and not distributing to anyone that is not connected to your garden as a patient, you would not be subject to any of the license requirements. So I'm feeling it's basically exactly what I'm doing now, at least as far as anyone who would ask questions is concerned. 95% of my herb travels far, carried on a network of honest people, trust and faith. The distribution system is already in place, and it works tremendously well. Perpetuating the status-quo and growing amazing herb just doesn't mix.
like a good book or a movie, I was sad when I got to the end of this thread. I also wish I'da seen more harvest / trim/ processing photos.
Thanks for all the joy, Mendo.
I need a name for my new 2016 thread any suggestions?

Who has waste water any way?this north state water board thing has little to do with water source, such a if you get it from a well, but is directed at wastewater discharge. Also, to be tier 1 and only pay 1000$ a year, the grow must be atleast 200 ft from any seasonal creek.
