Growing 25 plants is less restrictive than going for the permit for the 99. You don't have to sign up for the Sheriff's program, water board, etc, no additional permits are needed. You still are supposed to follow the basic guidelines, most of which are fairly common sense IMO (No growing next to a school, no growing in the creeks, your plants cannot be seen from public roads, etc).
Congratulations on expanding! Curious,How would they know if you were growing on a property before 2016?Well, had a very informative community meeting with the Undersheriff today. The new cultivation program sounds pretty good, I think we are going to sign up! A number of my friends and neighbors have either already signed up as well or are planning to a this point. Only local residents who were cultivating medically before Jan 1, 2016 will be able to sign up. A smart move in my opinion, it will help keep the 'green rushers' out and give the locals a change to get established.
It will be a lot more restrictive next year, so I think it will be good to get in now while things are more lax. Plus this will give us what we need to prove to the state government that we were in good local standing with the county. That means we will have priority status when the state starts issuing commercial cultivation permits in 2018.
Not having to worry about getting busted by local law enforcement will be such a huge relief! Not to mention I would be able to grow 2-4 times as many plants as I can now, completely legally. Looks like 2016 is going to be the year we finally come out of the green closet!
If you have a medical recommendation and can find a property that meets the requirements, then yeah, you can do 25 plants with probably not a whole lot of risk. A garden that size is much too small for local law enforcement to mess with, unless they get a complaint called in. Of course the regulations don't stop a lot of people from just blowing up massive gardens wherever or setting up trespass grows out in the National Forest. There is also no guarantee the local police won't hassle you, Mendo has it's fair share of incompetent and corrupt cops, some of which absolutely do not give a shit if you are 'legal' or not.
So I wouldn't say it's quite that easy, good grow properties are scarce and usually expensive and there is definitely going to be a rush on them here now that it is clear we will be one of the counties that will have legal commercial cultivation in 2018. Not to mention all it takes is one bad or crazy neighbor to ruin your whole scene. Plus law enforcement and most of the locals, even other growers, tend to have a very negative view of new arrivals moving out here just to grow. It is very much a 'good old boy' network that runs things around here - if you or your family have been here a long time, you will have an easier time not getting hassled. If you're new and from out of town, good luck....

The original Guava Kush has the dark magenta hairs as well. Looks even more intense once the buds stack up. Getting the dep house more sturdy makes it so much easier to get the tarp up and over, definitely worth the extra effort. The first one I build didn't have any of those internal supports and it was a bitch to cover because it would always bend under the tarp and it was so wobbly the wind shredded the plastic cover to pieces before it was even June.
Hope everyone did their civic duty yesterday, there were a lot of important initiatives across the state. Many counties had either bans or supervisor seats up for election. Far to many growers are absolutely terrible about voting.
