NEW Colorado Growers Thread

[MJPassion]

I shouldn't be buying anymore seeds but...
FUCK GETSEEDSRIGHTHERE!
I made a simple comment in reference to a Top Dawg auction, starting at $150, they were running on IG...
"those seeds are available for $125 at another place. I'll give you $120 including shipping for these"
At first I thought they deleted the Auction but those mu fukkahs blocked me!
They're plain and simple...
GREEDY BITCHES!!!

Plenty of other good vendors to choose from too. Thanks for the heads up

Dunno, there are a butt load of outdoor growers on the western slope, I'm at 7k ft, and have no problems outdoor. Plant first week of June and come down first weeks of October.

Yep. The climate is a bit more even spring & fall on the western slope, not as flip-floppy as the front range. That's why they can grow peaches commercially but we can't. We only get peaches ~ 1 year out of 3 because spring frosts hammer the blossoms.

It takes a hard frost to damage cannabis seedlings. It's not like there's a long growing season in places like Kazakhstan or Korea, anyway.

Growing outdoors guerilla style in Pueblo county years ago we planted seeds April 1. Late frosts didn't faze Mexican varieties much at all. That's all we had at the time. Some would finish OK & handle mild frost up to Nov, even snow.

As legalization proceeds & the bullshit of prohibition fades then cannabis cultivation will move outdoors where it really belongs. I'm too old to see it but the demise of indoor growing is inevitable. I'd just grow seasonally outdoors if circumstances allowed it. We've been pounding compost into our garden plot for 20 years- bet I could grow some monsters.

Wow Greedy Fucks

I'm not saying it can't be done, and accomplished growers like Corvette Doc, do very well.

My point is Colorado is at a huge disadvantage to say California or Florida, when it comes to outdoor agriculture.

Livwell and Native Roots will not be able to survive here without warehouses. I am sure they are looking into greenhouses though.

That's how I feel about Rare Dankness. They currently use my Smurphberry Jam as a breeding mother, under another name.

What do you all think should happen to a person (or persons) who commits a home invasion with the intent to steal cannabis from a person and they end up killing a person in the process of said invasion?

Death. Remove these from the gene pool, the human race will benefit.

[who dat is]

Anybody who thinks that large scale warehouse grows has any room in the future is sorely mistaken. I'm talking 5-10 years out they will be getting fased out as they become financially unfeasible. My money is on Automated Light Deprivation Greenhouses. I think Helen Keller could tell you with 100% certainty that that is where the future of cannabis cultivation lies. Mark my words, as soon as some light dep greenhouse companies decide to go public I'm throwing whatever money I can at their company shares.

Sounds economically viable in our climate!!! Was going to give that a shot this year..... if you count me as the automated machine!! Lol

I think greenhouses will be the next phase because of all the security bullshit. The investment & overhead in that are huge, of course. The payback period is longer than warehouses because of fewer crops per year but the margin should be a lot better. That will matter a lot as the market tightens up. They can cut the shit out of the price & still make money once the initial investment is recouped.

When federal prohibition ends & more states allow outdoor cultivation we'll have to go along or our carefully cultivated industry will crumble. We'll want to offer the cannabis equivalent of Palisade peaches & Rocky Ford melons to the larger market.

If I were a much younger man & a potential investor I'd be looking for growers & entrepreneurs with the long term vision to be ready for that.

See I really think that is wrong...to a point. Southern Colo./Eastern plains enjoy a great banana belt grow area that most everyone completely ignores. It starts at Canon city and goes all the way to Kansas along the Arkansas river...But after Fowler you have to build against higher winds and more storms.
You do have problems with water...but us natives know a couple of OLD time things...I am not allowed to say.
We have a VERY low humidity that staves off many infestations...If you can get past the damn borg.
Our colder fall nights give a lot of the tastes and colors that make what I do so different. And again back to lack of humidity makes all that possible.
The grow I am thinking of will almost look like an 1880s plains fort. Build up a supporting structure on 2 or 3 sides to house the workers needed and the starting stage areas. The rest will have little more than a mesh roof. From there I need to work with a better designer to see if what I want is possible. The grounds/grow area, would be dug out to 36" right after harvest (with some deep drainage for security against serious deluge). The early grow area must be convertible to drying/curing area in Fall. Then removed soil to be given winter composting and remixed to wait. I think honestly I could build most of this from 5-6 shipping containers, some center field columns for hanging the mesh....And I am still fuzzy on some points. The states rule about not having people living on grows is a serious problem. I would count on about 3-4 people (plus me) to be on the grounds at all times...or about 99.8 that I do. Several of those containers should be living areas...cooking bathing the entire thing. You have to baby plants at all times...it is hard to get away. If you don't...things go bad fast...AND 500 plants (that is a crazy ass pipe dream)...I can barely keep up with my max of 24...never mind, that is a lie...I couldn't keep up with 16 last year. 500 would scare me to death.

That would probably be a reality, but in 5-10 years, I don't think CO will be a player in the Cannabis industry.

I posed a similar question to scott from rare dank, and he said I was wrong.

I was wondering why they were spending so much on a warehouse setup as I said the industry as a whole will go greenhouse.

I keep wondering the same thing when I see that whole impressive thing coming together on their IG feed. Aren't they talking about 1500 lights?! The only thing I can figure is that they are banking on a relatively fast ROI and then they are just making money after that. I'm not saying that indoor won't have a place in the future but at that scale? Holy shit. Mimic everything just like the microbrewery market. Most of the masses will want some shitty generic weed to just get high. The cannoisseurs will demand quality from top shelf. I think both can be had from greenhouses. Honestly, when you can throw up the SAME EXACT Double ended Gavitas or Nanolux lights in a light dep greenhouse that you can indoors and vent accordingly how is it even an argument that greenhouses won't beat out indoor?

I have to disagree with you Bobby. California and Colorado is where it all started in terms of recreational and legal. I don't see weed dying out in these states despite what you say is a bad climate for growing weed. I think that people will certainly be growing all over the place but they will be fighting Mother Nature anytime humidity is a factor and people want to grow anything besides sativas or sativa dominant hybrids. You'll fall back to the whole thing where people are just running all their flower and trim through BHO because they can't make any of it to the end of flower. This just keeps circling back to my point of tailoring to the high end and let all the bullshit fall to the wayside. The cream rises to the top right?

 

[2 Legal Co]

Outdoor in CO is greenhouse or no go most of the time, considering it is HAILING LIKE BALLS right now in Denver anyone who has their plants out already is paying for it.

IF your plants get 'stripped' by hail.... keep them fed and watered.

You will be amazed at how quickly they come back.

And by the way, for any of you concerned about frost. I've seen plants get frosted overnight, but looking proud and healthy by 10:00.

Don't sell cannabis short. It, in fact, does grow like a WEED!!!!!

Much 'myth', to be found in the public domain. These girls are a lot tougher than you'd think from a bunch of info posted by 'experts'. Yes, you only get one crop a year, and you'll get more if you treat the girls well. Only natural.
