I just typed up a big long answer and then with a keystroke it all disappeared:-/ Lucky for everyone you get the short answer.

I just got as many clones and seeds as I could afford and then cloned the heck out of them. I built 10 ez cloner sort of cloners with 70 stations each and I can put 2 cuttings in each station for a total of about 1400 at a time now. No that is not legal but the LCB did not make a legal path for us in this issue. We used my spare bedroom, my daughters spare bedroom, one of my partners spare bedroom and even a space in a friends house. We did buy a few seeds here my partner did that as he is young and more into strain types than I am.

As to the question about advice I found here? I did not get much that was usable and most of it was not offered in any sort of a friendly manner. There is a bunch of great information posted here but it takes a long time to read every post to find it. I also have found that there are as many ways to grow pot as there are people doing it. Each person thinks their method is the BEST and yet there seems to be no BEST way to do it, just lots of variations on a theme and you have to roll with what comes your way just like everything else pretty much in life.

I don't think this site has been that encouraging to me but I see lots of newbies getting great responses so perhaps it is just me. A few people here have been cool and say "you go girl" but it seems way more people say "you are going to fucking fail so bad and even seem happy at that thought:-/" There are a handful of people that have reached out and have been very nice but that does not seem to be the norm or at least not in my case. I wish I would have posed my original question differently but in my zealous glee at finally being able to do this all out front and in the open I was not wary enough, did not consider that this was a message board really and just did not even consider that there would be people that were not happy that this was happening for us here in WA state. It still confuses me a bit really....I would have been super excited for someone else in my shoes....but that is me and certainly not the prevailing outlook for most of the people that post here apparently. It is encouraging when I can actually discuss all or really any of this with someone else that grows but for the most part I have not found much engagement here.

I do appreciate the positive comments though and I said I would keep this thread updated so you will be seeing our progress as I can find the time to post it. I still can use all the luck and skill I can gather to bring this all into fruition:)

I'm very happy for you but feel very conflicted on this entire situation. I've been trying very hard to not come in and put in my two cents but I really can't sit back much longer. 7000 square feet is awesome, but 502 isn't, plain and simple. By the end of this, things like your 7000 square feet are going to help put the nail in Washington's medical system, and then I will be forced to either be a felon again by growing my own meds or be forced to buy whatever herb is on their shelf?

Again, congratulations, really. I don't want it to take away from something like that (one of the first licenses awarded), but threads like this are bittersweet for me. This isn't legalization, this is "supervised playtime" and you can bet your ass they are going to be putting people in time out when crops are just finished drying and they have 300 elbows sitting there.

Every state that hasn't passed the equivalent of 502, please for the love of god, hold out for a real bill. Refuse Trojan horse laws in the cannabis world, we've given up more rights this last year in Washington than we know what to do with.
