VIVOHUT 2 Point Oh! Bill284 Grows North Atlantic Seed Co. In Coco

[Bill284]

Looks pretty good I love growing out doors How ar north are you lattiude wise?

I'm too far north for a successful harvest outside.
By harvest we had a foot of snow 1 year.
I know one of the mines north of us is 49 degrees N.
But it's a ways.
The greenhouse gives me an extra couple weeks and keeps them dry-ish
I can heat and light it.
Plus I use it as a garage in the winter.

do you put the plants in when the night temps are at 8c or higher or you just wing it or do the may long thing? seeing a empty green house really makes one see how big your plants get

Wall to Wall floor to ceiling Thanks con.
I won't move them until they outgrow the veg room.
Perfect conditions.
But it won't be long really.
I still have a ton of work before I can move anything.

It's funny how geography works. In BC the 49th parallel is the U.S. border, I'm at almost 51 degrees N. You guys consider the 49th "Up North" .

I can grow outdoors here reliably until Oct 20th. Any time after that the 1st frosts arrive.

It still goes to -30C, and lower sometimes, but it only lasts for Dec-Jan.

I guess it's being on the coast that's a bit warmer. That's terrific.
I'm just happy to get it moved.
Finding 6 people available all at once was a worry.
I'm in agony but it's done.

The coldest winter I ever met was May in Gimli . I flew in with the Red River flooded so bad that only the roads and runways were above the water and when I flew out a week later it was -35 and 8 feet of frozen ice for hundreds of miles. Manitoba....sheesh...

Another 4/20 pic.
Just going to the post office to mail my cannabis license renewal application.
Thought this was appropriate

 

[KeithLemon]

Bill do they charge you for the license.

kinda sounds like squinty is gonna change that program up when he's elected now. i don't think they can stuff the genie back in the bottle but there is serious talk of a hard 4 plant limit unless you have a commercial license.

producers are pushing for medical licensing to be limited to commercial mfgrs only. there's a huge glut and they want the whole market to themselves.

squinty's guys see the whole thing as the drama teachers program and wanna knee cap it as punishment.

no charge, its through health canada just need your doc on board but their are other ways around it if need be, same license i have

i don't think he'll mess with anything there would be to much backlash

 

[Bill284]

The license itself is free.
If your doctor doesn’t help you with a prescription you can see a nurse practitioner to get a prescription to apply.
This can cost you $$$$.
My script is for 25 plus 4 so I can grow 29 legally. For free.
But anything more than that they will change you for it.
I had a license for 100 in my previous life.
Think that was around $300.00 bucks.
But please don’t quote me my memory is shot and the numbers might be slightly off.
But for now 29 total is plenty.
And free.

They really screwed it up from the start.
I hope they don’t make it any worse.

his base is for restricting it. most were against home grow to begin, but the commercial side was a completely different story. they were all for controlling that.

the largest investor group in commercial weed here is pile of conservative millionaires who are in the oil industry. worked a massive show they had every year at their annual convention.

no charge, its through health canada just need your doc on board but their are other ways around it if need be, same license i have

our provincial physician's college has warned the doctors here against it. the doctors have clamped up as they don't want to risk their licenses. i lost my doctor to another province because of it. you can go online to find nurse practitioners, and a few doctors who still will but it costs.
