Moving to San Diego?

[JohnG]

I have a job interview tomorrow in San Diego. I currently live in the SE USA. I have done all the research on the city, housing cost, etc.

The job is close to UC San Diego. I will probably rent a small house. Its just the wife and I. She has MS so no problem getting a med card.

My questions. Do you tell your landlord you are a mmj patient? Do most grow indoors or outside? I see photos of the back yard grows in NorCal but I don't know if that is realistic in San Diego. Can you grow outside or will you get ripped off?

Its a great high paying job and I know I will need it because of the higher cost of living but the wife needs to live in a better climate and mmj friendly state.

Thanks for any responses.

I wouldn't tell the landlord
The attitude towards mmj is not like it is up in norcal
I wouldn't grow completely exposed around here but a small greenhouse cud work
If u do grow outdoors &/or in a greenhouse I'd do it in pots so u could move them
Good luck with the interview!

No certainly do not tell the landlord. Or anybody around here. Most grow indoors or possibly a small personal grow outdoors like GT said maybe in a smaller pot to move inside at night or during the cold. Most people live within a close proximity of each other. It makes growing difficult at times. There A LOT of conservative areas and a few not so much. We always joke around that there's a lot of weirdos and you can't go against the grain, go with it! That may make sense... upon arrival

Grow Tech, irobotsd, supermanlives: Thanks for the responses. Interview (8 Hours) went well so I should hear something in a couple of weeks. I think I would prefer to find a landlord who doesn't live nearby.

 

[supermanlives]

you should get a rec too.anyone can get a rec. sd is a great place . lots to do here. my neighbors are cool i can grow whatever i want . so can you depending on where you live. biggest problem would be rippers. i got high walls and fences and a mean bitch shepard plus an ankle biter. nobody gets my weed but me.

supermanlives: thanks for the info. If both the wife and I have recs what are the legal plant limits in San Diego County?

 

[JohnG]

squarepush3r; thanks for the pm but I don't have enough posts yet to respond, but I will when I do. The area where I will be working is close to UC San Diego near La Jolla.

supermanlives: thanks for the info. If both the wife and I have recs what are the legal plant limits in San Diego County?

limits hell fuck the limits. think its like 6 plants. i grow as much as i want. when the cops were here i had like 50 plants and they didnt look twice. the sd da aint gonna prosecute med users for being a few plants over from what i hear anyhow.

 

[Grow Tech]

Plant limits were struck down in the California supreme court case involving defendant Kelly. That does not mean you can grow as much as you want but...it means you can grow as much as is consistant with your medical condition. In the city of san diego Ive been cautioned against growing more than 24 plants. I am outside of san diego city limits and everything I have seen / heard indicates the San Diego County Sheriffs are much more dick-headed than SDPD. I agree that the DA wouldnt likely prosecute for numbers in that ball park but with the SD Counties Sheriffs attitude, I would expect to spend a couple hours in detention, have my house tossed & maybe even have my dog shot if i was unlucky enough to be visited by my local LEO...and I only have a 600w setup indoors and a couple plants under shade outdoors.

It's clear that me & Superman have slighty diff perspectives....and I think that is what it comes down to. YOU have to be comfortable with YOUR setup. Alot of my opinion stems from going to ASA meetings. It's been awhile since I've attended but there were lots of people there sharing their unfortunate encounters with law enforcement...of course people have a tendency to search out support groups like ASA when they're in trouble. Just my

supermanlives and Grow Tech: thanks for the info and the different perspectives. If I was caught growing 24 plants where I currently live I would get 1-5 yrs in jail and $15K fine. Time to move.

 

[supermanlives]

my lawyer has talked to the da in person. i have no worries about the cops. but i am small time now and have just a close group of patients. my days of large scale growing are over for now. i prob wont ever go above 10k flower. and i do small plants outside no monsters

 

[JohnG]

supermanlives: Thanks for the info. Seems a small outside grow will work assuming the right neighborhood, neighbors, fence, etc.. I hear electricity is expensive so I would prefer to grow outdoors if possible.

 

[supermanlives]

i do sog outdoors with great success. easy to hide em too. and i grow a few small plants too. no monsters as thats asking for it. even have a shopping cart grow. all my outdoor is mobile so i can put it in garage if need be. except for a tiny 4x4raised bed gh. havent put it on wheels yet LOL. i love me early spring crops the most . here in sd growing is pretty much year round 3 crops easilly. if electric is an issue just keep small veg area inside and toss out clones at will.floros will do fine for this. i run an 8 bulb setup in summer 4 fixtures 2 bulbs each from walmart lights of america i believe. floros work well and i dont need ac or extreme fans.

 

[JohnG]

supermanlives: I like the idea of just using flouros indoors for small veg and flowering outside. I really like the SOG outdoors idea. Is your setup like a normal indoor sog?

 

[supermanlives]

i tend to use trays for easy watering . and ya just like indoors. i used to hide them here and there. but watering was a bitch. i use sterilite clear trays from walmart and either party cups or small grow bags

 

[supermanlives]

like so. 20 clones sour bubble.

 

[supermanlives]

simple veg area for outdoors. neglected moms and cuts. man i need to clean up them moms .

 

[JohnG]

So how big do the plants end getting using you outdoor sog? Do you let them finish in the solo cups? I like the shopping cart!

 

[supermanlives]

depends on strain. sb dont stretch much .sometimes i take em out of cup after a few weeks and plant directly into tray. when a strain stretches too much they tend to fall over if in cups. i am gonna do half in cups and half planted into the trays. 4 trays so far. adding more as they root. and i got alot of empty trays LOL
