So much douche in this thread.. ^^

You can trust that others will buy MM beans. Some of the cheapest for quality beans around. I am interested to see what happens with his seed biz when he is off growing mass quantity for the mmpr.

Don't forget that glass houses are very poor insulators, in Ontario there are on average 100+ days of below 0 temps. I'm no expert but it going to cost a butt load to keep those greenhouses heated. Just look at how much we pay for organic hot house peppers, there not cheap. But then again 26,000 lights put out a lot of heat.

Cheers GG.

I know someone who was testing his license in a green house which was all glass and on concrete slab. The green house was about 60-60 feet +. It used hot water to heat it and it cost him around $2000 from what I remember per month to heat it and this was in the lower mainland. The plants were monsters though.

Hey Photosynthesis,

Any idea if those greenhouses are plastic film covered, ridged poly or glass?

It took a great deal of back and forth to get HC to state to me they would not accept film covered greenhouses as "securable" under the MMPR, though they would always welcome my proposal to do so.

I suspect this will change and hope it does, its not just not financially sound, its not sound in any matter, quality, yield, efficacy, etc....

I am in Colorado. They are covered in plastic. There is no reason with the right fencing that plastic covered greenhouses should not be approved.

Although we are talking about the Government right? :)

I'm probably going to have to get some security experts involved. We'll probably have to use air pressure sensors to detect any intrusion through the poly, and fences, video surveillance, motion sensors, etc. If I have to I would build a solid structure around the perimeter(need header space anyway) and if that wouldnt do Id build a moat with attack beavers.

Most greenhouses benefit from a curtain system not just for photo manipulation but for thermal insulation, there are great curtains out there now that offset some of the down sides to glass in the cold.

Cant beat the film, so jealous! :)

Growing anything has always been competitive. It isn't fair to make competitiveness something bad. That is how stuff gets better and gets more people interested.

Think about it. Dog breeders and dog shows. Who grows the best whatever has been going on at state fairs for 150 years or more. People want to win a blue ribbon.

Fly By Night, weren't you busted for selling counterfeit MM autographed head shots ?


MM just seems like a really well rounded kinda guy. Also seems like he needs a shower.

Damage in transport might account for lower scores in appearance , but it not going to have much effect on taste , bouquet and potency.

Don't see any other lower places claiming this excuse.

26000 lights, no way they will be permitted to draw that much power from the grid. I've worked as a linesman and that's never going to happen IMO. Maybe if they moved to Pincher Creek and got their power from IKEA, they own several windfarms.

Reckon its more likely that the IC mag cup is the most honest blind test , the judges don't know who grew it and results cannot be brought.
