Oh my goodness....what a busy few days. Just finished our inventory.....2427 established plants with sizes from 8 inches to just over 5 feet......67 different strains.....600 still in cloner's with roots nearly there.....another 700 clones just started so ready in 14-28 days. Lots of happy ladies:) Working to have our outside plants in the ground by May 1st at the very latest with some cold frames....... having 2 dump trucks of top soil and one load of compost delivered on Friday. Trying to figure out strains for that now. So much still to learn...so much fun learning:)
For the big boys in CO or even here in WA for that matter I know this is perhaps not a great achievement...but we are a mom and pop for the most part.....our total investment to date has been right under $63,000 which seems like a big number to some people....me included...but when you factor in $15,000 for rewiring, $13,000 for lighting, $7000 for rent so far, about $8,000 to home depot, $3000 for insurance, $2500 for licensing fees, $4000 total for security cameras with hard drives, $6200 for fencing, which totals to about $57,000 for all the big stuff so only about 6-7 thousand bucks for clones, supplies, every single other thing we needed that I re-purposed or found for next to nothing on Craigslist...that is just crazy that we have been able to accomplish this! We are doing it though....and our plants look good....our place is open before 99% of the other growers in the state and it is just so awesome that we are here....man oh man.....who would have ever have believed it:)
A couple of new photos....sorry they are not very good. My damn phone is not that good of a camera so I will bring a real one and try to take some better pics:)
