Anyone else having a hard time getting there cards? I went in a few days before my renewal date, sent it to cdhpe, and now they are telling me to wait longer, but my paperwork expires this week, so what does one do in the mean time? I called a few weeks ago and they told me if I had not received anything by the 15th to call back so I just got off the phone with them and they said I would either get the card, a denial letter, or a letter telling me what to do next.

So for the past 3 months I have been growing as normal, and now tomorrow I am going to be "illegla"? ahahhaha I heard the price is going down in January to 35 dollars. If I do not receive my card by then will I be reimbursed?

no ace you won't be reimbursed. that's a long time to be waiting for your red card. they told me it was about a 6week wait. i got my card 6 weeks to the day i mailed it.

Good for you man, I have a slight feeling I am either going to be denied or something, for some reason or another.....either way, if they deny me I am going to continue with this amazing hobby.

Speaking of, here are a few shots of the garden now. Went on VK for a few days, a good friend took great care of my girls. WAS very surprised to see the crazy growth over the 8 days I was gone! The shots I have here are of a few plants in the front that have been aggressively trimmed (underbrush) and trained.
Strains are Blue hawaiin and DJ shorts Blueberry.
I started flowering 2 days ago, still figuring out my intermatic t104, seems to lag a bit, so I am going to compensate for it. Anyone else notice that their timers lag? Takes about 15 minutes on each end to turn on/off. This is my first experience with these timers.


ON with the shots!!!

i went to the doc yesterday to get my card renewed .......... the new paperwork from the state has a place on it for the doctor to recommend higher plant numbers and allow us to carry more than 2 ounces.

Natty posted months ago asking if the docs numbers really meant a damn thing when you get to court. i still don't know , but the fact that it is actually printed out on the state forms is a really good sign the way i read things.

progress ?????? but it sounds like something is at least changing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS STONERS !!!!!!!

...intermatic t104...

Those things suck. They're not incredibly accurate, as you've noticed, but thats not that big a deal, I wouldn't worry about it.

The big deal is that I've seen the timing stops slip a few times before, if this happens in the middle of flower and results in longer days it will really fuck up everything. My solution is to use a pair of pliers to tighten the timing stops down, and re-check the stops frequently.

I use a plug-in digital timer to activate a relay (called a contactor in this case). The output of the digital timer can also be run thru a line voltage heating thermostat or one of those t-stat/15 min delay start boxes you can get from the grow store for overtemp protection.

They are so happy and healthy!
Next round will be a smaller and shorter screen.

I guess I live and learn on this t104 lesson. Dorje I will have to research that, sounds very useful! Anyone else have any other input on timer situations? I am no electrician and actually had someone wire this up for me.

Whats up Colorado!

I might get a us citizenship in the near future, id love to start working in the mmj business. Do you guys think it will be harder for me to start up a dispensary compared to a person born in america?

 

[cobcoop]

Shouldn't be a problem...

 

[MIway]

just do it in co...

 

[Hydro-Soil]

Cannatonic? Thread search doesn't pull any results.

Has anyone been running Cannatonic by Resin seeds that has access to lab equipment? Their seed stock is sold out and I'm curious if others are finding approximately the same results from the info that's been posted previously.

Any physical phenotypes that are predominantly CBD?

Stay Safe!

Update on the room
Been flowering for about a week now, plants are starting to put on their buds!

My intermatic is only abuo6 min off, so no worries there.
Air cooling the lights this weekend as well as hanging my exhaust fan, and a 600 watt vertical in-between my 2 1000. Wondering if I should try a MH or stick with what I have and run an HPS.

Either way, here are a few pics!

[whats the score]

A short letter to the dispensary owners in the Boulder area whom I know read this thread:

Please stop lying to your customers. Don't lie to me and tell me your buds are organic soil grows when they aren't. I'm a grown ass person and I don't need to be sold a bag of goods by your silly sales team straight out of a Best Buy. I know you grow non-organically because I know weed and I can taste it very clearly, but alas it's great pot at a great price! I don't need your lies to respect your product as a fair value! I like your weed!

I don't grow my own plants organically. If I grew commercially for a club I definitely wouldn't be growing organically either. I don't think it's very harmful to taste or health to grow the "old way" and I don't think properly flushed hydro tastes bad either. This relationship is all about trust, and I'm sick of so many of you Boulder area clubs lying to my face about dumb shit. Just be honest and I'll support you and Ill tell all of my friends to support you.

I can offer a tip to speed up the citizenship process
Once you apply contact a GOP congressman/senator from your area
Tell them you want to get your papers in time to vote out
the Democratic President and watch how fast you get your citizenship

Nothing against the current president, just showing how to work the system

My wife was a British citizen when we got married
after waiting and waiting for months and months
we contacted our Dem congressman
and said that she wanted to help retire Ronald Reagan
she was a US citizen within two weeks

I know there is a Barrons review book to help study for the test
and I think the application fee was $50 back in the 1980s

Funny that even though she was a USAF Vet and married to a US citizen
she still had to go though all that
when we were first married she had to register with INS every January and carry a green card

Speaking of my wife......
34 years ago last night was our very first date
A Grateful Dead concert at San Francisco's Winterland Arena

Dutch Dragon strain

"green butter" Christmas cookies
(LSD strain)

Moving to the Colorado Springs/Pueblo Area next week

Moving to the Colorado Springs/Pueblo Area next week

I want to get a medcard but I am concerned it could cause me to loose my job. I'm gonna be working at a federal facility. The job requires top secret security clearance, which I already have, but I'm worried the feds will have the ability to see if I'm on some Colorado state database as a medical MJ patient. I've read it falls under doctor/patient confidentiality, but I still can't help thinking the feds will have access to this info. Can someone shed some light on this for me????...please!

I'm a pretty big smoker and enjoy providing for myself. If I need to continue to operate under the radar then I will. The main reason I want a medcard is just so I don't have to worry about getting popped for petty possession if I get pulled over and I've got a few doobies on me. Also it would be nice to score some smoke or clones at a dispensory. I would like to minimize my bust risk but don't wanna loose my job in the process.
