If it is a personal grow, start with a steel security cabinet or an old gun safe. Bolt it to the floor, cut your holes for cords and vents - LEO will be impressed if they ever show up and even if the neighbor's teenager kicks in your door while you are gone, they probably won't be able to carry your crop away or get to it.

Bigger grows - drystack brick, fill with cement and rebar, buy the best door you can stand buying. One cat I know has a 20 yard dumpster upside down in his barn, bolted to the floor. Take that! HAHAHA!

good advice. i bet a lot of grow ops in people's closets or bedrooms would be easy to break into. my old grow op was in a tent in a locked bedroom at one of my patient's house. after breaking inside the house it wouldnt take a very strong person to say fuck the door and lock and kick through the drywall when no one is home. as long as you dont hit it where the studs are, it's not all that strong.

I have a stick built out building about 20' x 8' I was thinking of taking the 5 windows from the side and putting them on the roof and going with that. Would assume it would be in full compliance.

do you have a link to the forum? just wondering because a greenhouse would be nice

Na sorry, I think I saw it on the MMMA website it was a forum(not internet forum) MDCH had about the intentions of the law, they released a video of it online

thats ok i've done alot of research on them and found that its a city by city choice pretty much. for example niles michigan says no to greenhouses, but my home city of fenton is still discussing it and its looking good since one of the local big greenhouse owners is pushing for it so he can lease his own commercial greenhouses, which would be sick. by the way is there a way i can get an email letting me know if someone responded on to me on the forum?

as long as it is an enclosed locked facility no city can say no.

Still alot of grey areas in the law. I for one cannot wait for the laws to be a little more clear. I am not saying to add on to the law. I am simply saying I wish it were a little more clear as to clear enough for the state police to comprehend.lol

I don't see how any "areas" are "gray". An "enclosed, locked facility" is just that; foundations/floor, four walls, and a roof (with a securely locked door). If you ask me, the "hoop house" made of welded fencing (above) is all of those things. Especially when you consider that it's well off the beaten track. But there's no way that I'd try that in the city -- especially in my neighborhood (where street dealers and cops take it in turns to patrol the streets). That, my friends, is what basements and HID lighting were made for...

yea for real, not something you want to try in my opinion in the city or suburb
