I can't find it anymore but I believe it's the same guy DMT is talking about. He had pictures of the huge greenhouse and prices/strain list as well. Maybe he got busted?

sam Mellace, look it up.

He is doing extractions and creating salves, creams and tinctures i guess. IN the meantime, we have a designated grower here in Quebec that is in court because police found bubble bags at his location...

ps: If you guys are interested and have the funds to make his battle a constitutional case instead of a crminal one, i can put you in contact...
peace

FWIW local guy with permit got raided (pd weren't aware that he had permit till raid) had roughly double allowed plants pd seized extra plants and his scale they left swearing and he hasn't heard a thing since. myself I would have told them that without my scale its hard to tell if I was complying with my on hand quantity without it. He has renewed his permit since without any problems or questions from HC

ya, true...ontario.

The dollar a gram is hard to beat. I just hope the quality of the final product is up to par.

theres only a few places in canada where a greenhouse can operate year 'round, without alot of heating and augmented lighting and ontario isnt 1 of them... southern van isl is as it rarely gets sub-zero

And the flooring and structure did not look like an all year round to me at first glance, but then again, i looked quickly.

he claims to be producing 80+ grams per day, 2 me that means year round, but might b taken out of context. by the way, this is interesting info, but not urgent or anything, just curious, u know ?

Even on the south end of van island you'd still need supplemental input for proper environ control, obviously the more temperate climate the less operating cost.

How many hundreds of acres of gh are growing peppers and the like in winter climates? The profit margins for GH cannabis even at a buck/gram is much more lucrative than food.
There is absolutely med greenhouses running this winter in some of canada's harshest climates.

The mmar.ca gh pics may be from a summer run, its fairly easy to convert them over for winter use, even with dirt ground.

His 89grams per day could also be grown in one season and distributed over his off season.

Point is if this guys quality is up to snuff and is smart enough to expand, watch out.

Thats the guy I was referring to, guess I was wrong he has 2 huge greenhouses not one. I thought he was on the Island. Pretty sure his site used to say that it was the only retractable roof greenhouse on vancouver island and some other stuff about his guard dogs, I guess he got rid of that.

30 bucks an ounce is pretty solid but he should get rid of the juicy fruit

If he is on the island I'd hope he'd have a gallery dedicated to his dog's :D

Cant beat bc's climate, but I that bubble seems quite ripe/tight, perhaps more 30/oz's will be a factor on that :D seems even the KCC could pull that off with a 1000000+watts... maybe.

3)ANYONE claiming to have some 100 patient,semi-legal,HC sanctioned grow is either a bullshitter or is going to get a visit form the boys in blue/rippers.But with a single 50 plant licence could easilly use 50K of lighting legitimately......

from what I ear there's a few folks who make a living taking from others out there:pirate:
was only partially joking, like 5%...

Hey ya'll!

So, I was at my grow store earlier today and was talking to the owner and he said that there is a rumor out that Health Canada inspected a 50 lighter on the Island a little while back and asked the grower why he had such big plants.

They told him that his yield would be way more than his storage was allowed..etc

Anyhoo, apparently this grower/MMAR card holder got a $120,000 bill from Health Canada. They said that this would be what his excess yields were worth and billed him. I guess they knew he was slanging it?

Any of you Island boys hear this rumor?

Never ever believe the guy behind the counter at a grow shop.
