Hey Everyone, long time lurker, old poster many years ago when I first got started growing cannabis. I wouldn't be at this point if it wasn't for this forum in the past, so I just wanted to come back and share this journey as a journal.
The time has come to realize a dream I've had since I first started growing. I love growing cannabis and sharing it with people and now I'm going in fully, self funded, into a 4000sqft facility with outdoor greenhouse space to be added later. Looking forward to really explore everything the plant has to offer, in a space that doesn't crush my back(had to hunch over in my attic, but was worth it). And sharing all the R&D, strains, & other things I've been doing behind closed doors now for years. I've never sold any weed in my life as I didn't want to ever risk this opportunity.
Today is the first official day as I took ownership of the keys and facility. We're still working through the licensing process and working with architects for plans to meet licensing requirements. Construction can begin October 1st(first day of legal sales). We are a few months behind, but so are most facilities. There is going to be a big shortage in the early months here.
I'm getting into this knowing full well the state of the markets in some states, with hopes that Vermont will continue to steer in the right direction. I'm lucky enough to be in a financial position to take this shot, and if I don't I'll always regret it. We are the only state that passed adult use legalization without the need of a vote by the people, and it's my hopes that eventually we'll have a legal framework that allows business to flourish. It's actually not that bad now(we get right offs and taxes are as good as you could hope for for cultivators out of the gate). We do a great job w/ microbreweries, and I think eventually we'll get to where they are. If we can do as well as Maine seems to be doing I'll be stoked.
The facility is going to be all notill/living soil/organic growing w/ LED's and hybrid sealed rooms. I'm doing all the construction myself that I can with exception to things that are required by the state to be performed by a licensed contractor.
Here's to the future and I'll be posting more photos as things move along!
