Somehow I don`t see compliance officers coming out in the forest in the dead of winter. I`m thinking of doing mostly winter grows and maybe 6 plants in spring. I have about 25% of my crop in and drying so getting it all cut ,farm trimmed and dried will be first on the list , then trimmed. I don`t think I`ll have the time or money (in time) to set up for a winter grow this year. I`m going to work on getting my property surveyed ASAP and a nice size pad put in as well as improvements to the privet section of road for better access. Hope to be farther in by next winter where I can lock the gate to all traffic and be away from people on the public part of the access to the property. Then I`ll decide if I want to try winter grows or I may decide to literally go underground with grows. Improvements will also make my property of more value if I decide to move out. I`m not sure if moving would be the best idea. I`d hate to buy property just to have the next county follow the example of this one. Lets just wait and see how this works out. Just because the county makes more stringent laws doesn't mean they will enforce thoughts laws, or be able to afford to continue enforcement over time! It`s a big county and they just don`t have the funds to! I think they are centered on stopping the flow of people moving in to the county and larger cartel grows. I`m sure that will be their primary target anyway . It doesn't`t look as good on the news to be red tagging disabled small medical growers who are a little over the limit vs. larger growers and the cartel. They could win the battle and lose the war without public support.

That was purple dojo. Didn`t know greens had that strain also. Yep I`m thinking of putting my $ into getting the property ready so I can be near the water and set up better to do my thing without needing so much help. My son is going to be moving down the hill for winter sooner or later and don`t think he will be around that much to help next season. I`m thinking of only doing a few plants and taking the summer easy while I have my eye on the workers I hire to do work on my land like put in the pad with septic and well. Improve the road and put a cement pad and cover for my RV and what ever else I can get done. I will start growing the Lyon`s share during the cold of winter in greenhouses. I `m also looking forward to starting my breeding projects back up again! I have a few good strains that are ready for release as soon as I do a good seed run but I have many more projects I need to get back to work on again.
