i have been there, i know the laws and i know the set up i want to use. electricity is the same as the states. i am no more worried about getting busted there than i am here. and if i were to get busted there the penalty would most likely be exile from Costa Rica for life, but that is not my concern. my concern is if I can buy lights and fertilizer and such in country. i know for a fact that shipping a package weighing 50 pounds from the US to CR is around $700. so buying on the net is out of the question. Does anyone Grow in CR past or present?
