i've seen/heard that you can grow your medicinal crops outdoors, which would be awesome, but..

do your plants need to be in a "locked, secure facility" as stated on the MMJ papers from DOCH?

i might invest in a small gated section that is locked if you need to go thru these measures. i trust my location and surroundings, so is this a possibility?

(c) "Enclosed, locked facility" means a closet, room, or other enclosed area equipped with locks or other security devices that permit access only by a registered primary caregiver or registered qualifying patient.

IMO you can have a greenhouse if it locks and your the only one with access. ill be concidering this for next yeaR.


EDIT:what else could they be refering to by "or other"?

true that. my plan is to either get a fence put into my back yard or get a greenhouse. still weighing the pros and cons of each one.
 
I would be very careful about growing outdoors. I live in the West Branch area and a guy got busted around here because he had his plants outdoors. They were in a locked shed without a roof. I believe he is still awaiting trial so it will be interesting to see what comes of it.

the roof it what probably fucked him. they probably are saying people could just hop over and get in. i'm thinking super locked shit.
 
yeah a greenhouse might do the trick. I know it would be nice to just grow in a greenhouse during the summer months. Sure would save a lot of money on electricity for lights and cooling.

for sure. i'd do all my growing indoors during winter and most likely wouldn't need any cooling just fans. the way i cool my grow room is by building a box around the AC vent in my room, then attaching a fan blowing all the cool air down about an 8 foot hallway, then a box fan catching the cool air and forcing it into the room. probably not the most efficient but i can't afford to run an individual unit at this time.

As most new growers find out, growing here out doors is a gamble. The R/H will rot your buds without a dehumy runnin. I know of several folks cry'in this past fall due to bud rot.No way around it here as we have so maney lakes and dew points in the high 70's. G-house will work but you'll have to run a dehum or your shit will rot

So that looks like one large expense, a large dehumidifier in addition to the greenhouse, and security!

Just think everyday, "I Must Have This" and eventually a professional greenhouse will appear... Along with a hot tub and an in-ground swimming pool within an enclosed structure to be enjoyed all winter. unlimited fresh roast coffee and a hot new girlfriend would round out the fantasy perfectly. I find these concepts highly motivating. 

Yep, greenhouse would be sweet. Maybe next year. Is it really possible to secure, or do you have to keep it secure the old fashioned way - Shoot the first person that tries to break in and wait for word to spread?

The old fashion way does work. I'm aware of a helpless old man who grows and kept having repeated break-ins. Until one day, one of the perps had to eat his bullets (who's helpless now, bitch?). In the three yrs he had probation, the old man hasn't had a single additional break-in. Word on the street is, "He will F' you up!!"

As Far as i was told by my lawyer enclosed means 4 walls and a ROOF, so i would design it with that in mind.

a lock and cameras and you'll be good


but no.. a roof is not necessary.

an enclosure does not need a roof by definition and as long as someone can't hop the thing easily.. put some razor wire on top :D

If the new bill 4851 passes the senate witch is highly likely since it passed so easily in the house. This is what will be considered a legal outdoor grow.

[MARIHUANA PLANTS GROWN OUTDOORS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN AN ENCLOSED, LOCKED FACILITY IF THEY ARE GROWN WITHIN A STATIONARY
STRUCTURE THAT IS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
(1) ANCHORED, ATTACHED, OR AFFIXED TO THE GROUND.
(2) LOCATED ON LAND THAT IS OWNED, LEASED, OR RENTED BY EITHER:
(A) THE REGISTERED QUALIFYING PATIENT TO WHOM THE MARIHUANA PLANTS BELONG.
(B) THE PERSON DESIGNATED THROUGH THE DEPARTMENTAL REGISTRATION
PROCESS AS THE PRIMARY CAREGIVER FOR THE REGISTERED PATIENT OR PATIENTS.
(3) EQUIPPED WITH FUNCTIONING LOCKS OR OTHER SECURITY DEVICES THAT PERMIT ACCESS ONLY BY THE REGISTERED PRIMARY CAREGIVER OR REGISTERED QUALIFYING PATIENT WHOSE PROPERTY THE STRUCTURE IS LOCATED UPON.
(4) ENCLOSED ON ALL SIDES, EXCEPT FOR THE BASE, BY CHAIN-LINK FENCING, WIRE MESH, WOODEN SLATS, OR A SIMILAR MATERIAL THAT PREVENTS ACCESS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.]



I wonder if a 15ft deep trench with a crocodile in it surrounding the grow site would be considered "other security devices?
