My thoughts are first a large investment on a uncertain field as as your aware are trying to take growing away from Wash and handing it to the liquor control board and could take away your freedom in a blink . Second thought is popping out 10,000 rooted clones will only give you what the mom of that clone brings to the table unless you plan on popping some beans for male's i don't see the breeding aspect of it.... personally of it was me i would go semi large scale but not commercial - registered until all the legal stuff is sorted out...
you have a beautiful state up there had the pleasure of visiting hemp fest and was amazed at the beauty of the area
best of luck in which ever you decide
THIS. Exactly! That's why I'm looking into it now. Honestly, I expected the DoJ to come out and say they would be opposing the new laws.If you want to be successful in that space--find financial backing and sell your growing expertise as a reason to side with you. Whoever throws more money at this thing at the onset is going to be the guy who comes out on top. That's how these industries work in their infancy.
"If we organize as a processor, producer AND distributor, we can avoid huge amounts of taxes on the product, and market directly to the customer. I see absolutely no reason to have seperate businesses for the processing and distributing."
FYI, the state will not grant any business a production/processing license in addition to a retail license. They will let you combine on the production and processing but that's all.
Hey guys. I'm in Washington, and I'm thinking about the possibility of switching from the medical realm to the commercial realm, once the rules all get set up and clarified. I'm a huge proponent of medical cannabis, and one of my biggest goals is to help cancer patients get the medicine and oil they need to treat their illnesses. Organizing as a non-profit working in the commercial realm will allow me to accept donations (for startup and operating expenses) and volunteer workers (much easier than dealing with payroll).
I think getting into the commercial field will give me a great opportunity to do some breeding on a massive scale. If I don't have to worry about plant counts, it would be much easier to identify and isolate very rare phenotypes... flowering out 10,000 rooted clones in a warehouse is much easier to do if you don't have to worry about the feds banging on your door... lol
What do you guys think?? Have any of you spent any time thinking about entering into the newest legal industry in our country? :D
Oh, I completely agree. I run hydro, and its more efficient to have everything on one system be the same strain. Its easier to dial everything in and get familiar with the particulars of each seperate strain. Having more than one strain on a hydro system you'll get one dialed in perfect, and the other thinks the PH is too high, or the nutes are too hot. Lol.
When I talk about pheno hunting and growing a 10K plant sog, that's like 10 year plan status. For the time being, I'm just working with 4kw in a single room, and I've never had more than 5kw of light running at once, ever.
I do completely understand this point! I should have been to the point of expanding by now, but I've beeen stalled for the past year, unable to find somewhere to grow at and no actual income to be able to obtain my own house. Fortunately, a couple months ago a friend of mine expressed an interest in starting to grow, and I offered my services. Long story short, I moved into this house a week ago and he's paying all the bills for the next five months solid. For a 50/50 cut!You better find a way to increase your experience with larger grows. Your setup is too small to scale up effectively, and you'll have hvac and other problems that you don't see with the size your op is at now.

Spend the $ and get a good lawyer whom specializes in the laws of in your state, spend time with he/she and fully understand each and every aspect and learn what permits you may need. Speaking of permits, everything done to a commercial space needs to be code with viable permits: electrical, structural, fire safe, etc... ive seen a grow come down due to failure of.
The growing part is easy, being covered to a "t" is not.
Does anyone know, where the WA state legal growers are going to be getting their genetics from? What strains they are going to be running?
I assume it's going to be cuttings, sexing plants from seed would be way too labor intensive.
