      Well, it all starts when the man gets excited, he then puts his seed in the ground and waters it, and nine months later the stork comes by and drops off a bundle of ganja.

            Hi my friend how are you,beautiful day today rain tomorrow though.
            First you need to decide what your goals are,is it personal or comercial.
            I'll talk about comercial first you need to look at your assest,and I dont mean money. First do you or anybody you trust own or rent land.if the anwser is no then you will have to resort to gorrilla growing,which is on someone elses land. That is not always a bad thing as it reduces liability.
            Second is where it will be harvested and dried,This is the most stressfull time. The biggest give away is the smell and extra traffic at the location. Extra traffic usally comes from the extra hands to help with triming ,believe me for us its almost 24/7 for nearly 2 weeks. And it will be the worst time of your life.
            Seed selection for gorilla growing is easy . No skunk,Medium height, high yeild. Clones are a great option,first you know there all female and second you don't need the time or space to start seeds. the drawback is no someone Knows your growing. If you hunt around you can aquire non feminized seeds 10 pack for as little as $25 us not includuing shipment And must be prpared for only 50% to be female.Are clones are usally Bought for between$5-15can depending on size and volume.

                    I grew some grand daddy purps last year, harvested a pound of the crush off of 10 plants indoor. Haven't had time since...I have a friend who lives in a million dollar home off the shit though, it's a living if you want to do it.

                      Yes it can be ,but in my exp over the years is it usally takes about 3-5 years untill you have the contacts and resources to really boom.Yes peoplr do get lucky but like any bussiness the first 3 are your learning years and who and who can't be trusted 1 guy and 25-50 plants can be managble but for comercial growing a network of trusted people have to be involved. Trimming alone involves over a dozen people for us. Remember also the bigger your operation the more mouths to feed and it ain't cheap.this is not a bussiness that you go ****in people

                        Willy I met a guy in Maplehurst years ago that got busted with a small operation in Kitchener, he was a newb and was living in a townhouse, he vented his operation through the dryer vent, not realizing it was shared with the neighbor next door, the neighbor found it odd that her dryer always smelled of weed and called the police.

                        He learned his lesson.

                            Blitty we're growing outdoors, indoor "grow ops" attract too much attention.

                              I hate indoor nothing but trouble. A well planed outdoor crop is as valuble as any indoor. And with the right strands nowbody can tell the difference.I'm serious laugh I know.But most people are told its hydro and people believe them. I can take outdoor Northern lights a pass it as BC big bud how can you prove its not.I hear people all the time that buy and say they got this primo shit with a weird name when its probally mine.

                                One more thing betplom and it could be the most inportant. the strands given are by no means the biggest and the best and the biggest yeilding,your a smart man you will reasearch this for yourself.your biggest problems will be police 10%.people you know60%and people you don't know 40% these strands you can harvest early which is important to beat thievs to your crop.Theivs are lazy or they would grow themselves they count on you to do the work.so if you can get your crops off weeks earlier then the avg harvest season your doing your self a huge favor.again thieves are lazy not stupid they Know when its harvest time,and also your plants don't blend in as much in oct as they do in aug to earl sept

                                      New here fellas. Been on a number of forums for years but just got an account here. Don't know what has taken me so long. but anyway....
                                      Pretty nice here in south lake tahoe, ca. We are spoiled with medical marijuana laws. Sheriffs have been in more than 1 friends house to check to make sure its under the limit (10+1 in el dorado county). The average seems to be around 6 ounces a plant yield. And then never bothered again. This has also driven the price WAY down. The first compassionate care clinic is about to open here too.

                                        Whats up willy....You can get 4 solid harvest a year if you cloning from a mommy. 12 lbs a year.....legally. Feds don't worry about anything under their 100 plant federal limit or so we are told.

                                          I think it should be legal would kill my business,but as a non smoker and heavy drinker I would say alchol is way more of a problem.here in canada you can actually get a permit to grow 1or 2 plants for a person that has a permit to smoke for medical reasons,which I thought was cool.

                                            I think you could have possibly been told wrong,but I have no clue on american law so you could also be right. But I cant see the canadian or american govt allowing you to grow 99 plants and harvest 12lbs for any reason.

                                                      I think I explained it wrong. It is legal to grow 10+1 plants in my county with a medical card. That is what the statute says. You can get 3 lbs from those 10, 4 times a year, hence the 12 lb figure. Granted to get that much you have to be dialed in on everything...to be at that level, the initial investment in the room is about $5000.

                                                      I know it sounds crazy but i was present when the sheriffs came knocking to "inspect the garden". If you can get someone with a medical card to give it too you as their "care-giver", your limit goes to 20 plants. If you don't have the resources to grow, you let a grower be your care-giver and thats generally worth about an ounce of free killer every month.

                                                      If you're in a state that still puts people in prison for possession I know this all sounds like bullshit. Its the California Green Rush

                                                          Indoors you have lights on for 24 hours for plants to grow big, then induce light 12/12 for budding. very fast turnover if the cycle is moving correctly.

                                                              Your right,and there's nothing wrong with indoor I just feel that for me its to risky.But I will argue that indoor plants are usally small say 3 feet or so, and a house can only harbor so many plants. with gorilla growing you have plots of generally 100-200 in 25 plant batches over 50-100 acres thats only one crop.If you have the man power and people you can trust or they have a finacial interest you can easily do 10 crops. I look at it this way you have 10 crops ,some get ripped off, crops could not yeild well for many reasons. but out of 1000-2000 plants that are bigger you will have a nice return and also a well desearved break with the indoor there is no real break.

Buried them next to his house and had a tunnel connecting the underground grow room and ventilation to his house. Thats the way to go IMO.
