Are you sure it's not more than 12? I just read that and what I saw was 12 or more, I thought anyway. I guess if you're growing your own meds they don't want you to be good at it? Possession limits differ greatly for those growing their own and those growing for one patient.

It says "12 or more" in the MEDICAL MARIJUANA INFORMATION BULLETIN 2017-08, dated Oct. 5, 2017, Subject: Plant Limit Changes and Grow Site Inspections. The bulletin that I have is from the OHA and it specifically states that: OMMP is conducting inspections of grow sites that were allowed 12 or more mature plants

It is a locked PDF file and I cannot cut and paste it here.

I put my first crop of outdoor in jars and test smoked some yesterday. Great results so far this summer even though mites probably cost me 25% - 50% of my weight. Tasty stuff. :plant grow: :smokeit: :joint: :smoker:

Thank you OregonBorn, good info.

Rob, Organocide 3 in 1 garden spray greatly helped with Russet Mites. 2 of 3 groups received Organocide, didn't do the 3rd because the first two smelled like fish afterwards. 3 weeks later no sign of mite pressure, fish smell or rot on the two groups. Also used insect frass from a pigeon coup and aspirin dissolved in water 325 mg per gal all three groups. The 3rd group only got the frass and aspirin. 3rd group showing mite pressure and some bud rot. All three in organics, no chems. Diatomaceous Earth was used on all three groups earlier in season. Rains are doing a great job washing that off right now.

2 to 6 inches of rain in store as 'atmospheric river' moves over NW

2 to 6 inches of rain in store as 'atmospheric river' moves over NW

An atmospheric "river" over the Pacific Northwest is expected to dump heavy rain and snow over the region in the coming days.
The weather pattern brought gusty winds and broke daily rainfall records in Seattle on Wednesday before it moved into western Oregon on Wednesday night, the National Weather Service said.
Over the next several days, storms are expected to dump up to 2 inches of rain in Portland and 3 to 6 inches of rain on higher terrain in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon.
An atmospheric river is the name meteorologists have given a slow-moving concentrated channel of moisture in the air, said National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Tolleson.
Rivers typically produce heavy downpours and are responsible for as much as half of the West Coast's precipitation between October and April.
Two atmospheric rivers will move over Oregon, the first on Thursday and the second arriving over the weekend, Tolleson said.
As much as three-quarters of an inch of rain is expected to fall Thursday in the Portland area.
The storm will bring more rain to other parts the state, Tolleson said. Through Thursday, from 2 to 4 inches are expected to fall in the Cascades and at the Oregon coast. In the Willamette Valley, up to 1.25 inches are expected.
And that's just the beginning.
The second atmospheric river will be stronger than the first and will bring more rain beginning Saturday, Tolleson said.
"It looks like it's going to be a pretty big rain event for the weekend," he said.
Up to 2 inches of rain are expected in Portland over the weekend. In the Willamette Valley, from .75 to 1.5 inches could fall. High elevations in southwest Washington and northwest Oregon will be hit the hardest, with meteorologists predicting up to 6 inches this weekend.
The heavy rainfall could trigger landslides and debris flows in burn scars from earlier wildfires.
The Chetco Bar fire burn area in southern Oregon is under flood watch Thursday.
Landslides are also possible in the Eagle Creek fire area in the Columbia River Gorge and the Whitewater fire area in the Cascades, the weather service said.
Despite the storms, meteorologists don't anticipate any major flooding. Smaller rivers and creeks may see some minor flooding, the weather service said, particularly in areas where storm drains may be blocked.
Still, Tolleson said, Oregonians should brace themselves for a wet weekend ahead.
"Everybody's going to see a lot of rain," he said.

I started pulling tonight, was going to try to ride out the rains as it looked dry 'til end of the month. Seeing some minor rot from cats I think? I do a wash with 3 buckets. First two are warm to hot, last is cold. First bucket has 1 C lemon juice 1/2 C baking soda and 1 C hydrogen peroxide. #2&3 are plain water. The scum that floats on top is worth getting rid of. I used DE for the Russet Mites and have to rinse it off anyway. The rot shows itself well after the dunk. While it's dripping I inspect and cut the rot out. My Organic soil seems to have run out of gas at the end. Last year I had better soil. Maybe get it dialed next year lol. Hope you all had a great year.
 
We cut all of our CBG plants Wednesday. 18 hour day with our crew, but it all came in before the rain hit early Thursday morning. The boneyard that used to be a grow yard...

Interesting. I moved my last 3 plants indoors from the GH last week to finish under lights. I grow in movable tubs. Some rot had to be cut out of those and my harvests earlier on. I experimented with one landrace strain this year that bloomed from July to September, and it was curing before the first rains hit, and there was no rot. Seems that we need that type of genetics to grow here now. Early bloom, early finish, beat the rain and botrytis.

My brother got 5 inches of rain from this latest storm series in west Hillsboro. I got about 2.5 inches here in the Cascade foothills. The Coast Range is wringing out the clouds. Of course my power also went out yesterday.

I went to the OLCC workshop recently. Greatly recommend it. Also if a mistake happens and you say "I wish you covered that in the workshop"... expect some leniency.

Subleasing licensed property? Wow. Real smart. I wonder if Jack Daniels will lease me a few tanks so I can make hooch inside their premises? Holy shit come on guys!

Obviously some of the above was a result of stupidity. But those genuine mistakes are a shame. Suspensions must "hurt".

Did it say what was OLCC boss Steve Mark's penalty was for his DUII arrests or for committing perjury in front of the state legislature? Did his former partner in crime prevention Rob Patridge pay up on that six figure sexual harassment settlement against him yet?

I do not keep up with the political corruption in Portland or in Oregon politics. Life is too short for wading through that level of complexity.

And speaking of complexity, I get headaches trying to figure out if I comply with all the OHA/OMMP and OLCC laws or not. These are the temporary rules in effect for the rest of this year.

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Subject: Temporary Rule Waiving Replacement Card Fee and Grow Site Fee for OMMP Registrants Affected by HB 2198[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) has adopted a temporary rule that will waive the replacement card fee and the $200 grow site fee until January 1, 2018. The fee waiver will only apply to a patient who was growing for themselves or a caregiver growing for a patient that is affected by the 2017 legislative session.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]
HB 2198 which was passed in the 2017 Legislative session and was effective upon passage, made changes to plant limits allowed at grow sites. A summary of those changes can be found in Informational Bulletin 2017-08 issued October 5, 2017. Locations that are not zoned residential and in city limits and grandfathered grow sites which were located at a patient’s residence and where the patient was growing for themselves were suddenly out of compliance with plant limits. The program is wanting to waive the change fee and grow site fee until January 1, 2018 to allow patients to make necessary changes to their registration.

RIP OMMP

RIP OMMP

More from the OAH on tracking system requirements. Anyone growing more than 12 plants with OMMP cards in Oregon per address will be required to use the Cannabis Tracking System (CTS) starting in 2018. CTS will have a fee of $480 for OMMP growers plus the tags cost an additional $0.25 to $0.45 per tag. No CTS fees will be required for rec growers (they already come out of license fees). They still do not say if the OMMP CTS fee is an annual or one time fee.

$1M heist: ‘They were carrying weed out with a cop here’

$1M heist: ‘They were carrying weed out with a cop here’

CORVALLIS, Ore. (KOIN) — More than $1 million worth of marijuana material was stolen from Oregon Genetics — in Benton County — sometime overnight Tuesday.
Caleb Mata, the founder and CEO of the legal weed operation, said the burglars took off with 1,000 pounds of ready-to-sell marijuana and another 10 pounds of pure hash oil.
“Taking anything from someone is wrong, but $1 million — no matter which way you cut it is a lot of money to anyone,” Mata said.
Mata told KOIN 6 News that the suspects were caught on surveillance camera stealing from their warehouse. He points out that the video shows that one of the suspects is drastically shorter than the other. Since posting the video on Instagram, it has had close to 12,000 views, and Mata hopes someone recognizes the duo.
“They got away with a bunch of these black and yellow totes too, full of weed,” Mata said.
Based on the footage, Mata believes they spent about 15 minutes inside the warehouse — but spent another hour or 2 around the 6-acre property’s perimeter while making a huge haul. “Really the main thing is the more humans that we have with their eyes on the ground looking for this… its a million dollars worth of product …the amount of mass is gigantic..it could fill this room,” Mata said.
A sheriff’s deputy responded to the incident, but because of how big the property is — Mata said the deputy had no idea what was going on at the other end.
“That’s the worst part about it,” Mata said. “They were literally carrying totes of weed out in the open with a cop here. It’s weird to think a cop could have been here and responded at the same time the burglars were here.”
According to Mata, similar break-ins have happened — possibly with the same suspects — at other marijuana producers in the last couple of months.
The company is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those involved.
Mata hopes the video and reward — plus his specialized product will help track down the burglars.
“There’s no one else that makes oil this clear, so it would be obvious if you saw it,” Mata said.

I cut down my last two outdoor female plants a couple days ago. Last year I regretted picking some slow finishing genetics, but this year it was pretty easy to pull off the November harvest on the stuff that needed to go that long.
The other side of that coin is that it seems like a really weak mushroom season this fall so far.

Cops seize 3,000 lbs. of pot grown for 5 medical patients, authorities say

Cops seize 3,000 lbs. of pot grown for 5 medical patients, authorities say

Cops seize 3,000 lbs. of pot grown for 5 medical patients, authorities say



By Shane Dixon Kavanaugh
The Oregonian/OregonLive

Police seized nearly 3,000 pounds of marijuana from a Southeast Portland warehouse suspected of illegally processing hundreds of harvested pot plants, authorities said Tuesday.
The Portland Police Bureau's Drugs and Vice Division began an investigation into the operation taking place on the 6000 block of Southeast 111th Avenue after receiving an anonymous tip, Sgt. Chris Burley, a bureau spokesman, said in a news release.
Investigators on Friday found 16 people working inside the large warehouse, which contained 500 mature marijuana plants weighing 2,998 pounds, the statement said.
According to police, documents provided by those associated with the operation showed the marijuana was being grown for five patients under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program — which would amount to about 100 plants and 600 pounds of cannabis for each patient.
Under Oregon's medical marijuana law, a grower is allowed to cultivate six mature plants for each patient.
The individuals also claimed they were obtaining a license to sell recreational marijuana through the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, though no license had been granted, police said.
Police made no arrests but seized the entire marijuana haul inside the warehouse, Burley said. The case is being reviewed by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office for prosecution.







Jesus- 500 six pound plants? In P-town?
