Actually it doesn't include the vault. It does include however 340 meters ( approx.) of 10ft high chain link fence with barbed wire and manual
gate ( electric with controller optional for $15,000). The vault would probably be an additional 40000.

you can only delete your own posts. and only within three days of posting. after that they're permanent.

190k huh? does that include armed guards? or just surveilance and alarms?
No armed gaurds..just cameras, sensors, key readers, pads, memory to store 2 years worth of HD footage etc

I think you might have spend the other 15,000 , you will find that out in a hurry when delivery trucks start leaving the gate open , I ended up setting my double gates at my shop up with automatic openers , all workers got a key fob , and installed a touch pad also my gates close approx. 1 min after not sensing obstructions by them selves, lots of underground wiring went in when I installed it , I bought my automatic system from a company out of FL called Came great support and very happy with there products , each gate is 14 feet long x 8 feet high and were talking wrought iron gates that weigh ,I think the system was under 3 grand but worth every penny. So 15,000 grand sounds about rite.

Not sure how to delete posts....as well, I just received a quote on security that would meet Health Canada regulations....came back at $190000
That is some expensive fencing. But I also don't know how much fencing costs. What I can tell you is that a recent job we started for a 600kW facility, on a flip(yes, some people don't want to do a flip for some reason), was 140tons. Came in somewhere around $300k - 350k installed. This does not include any dry coolers or evaporative coolers.

Hello all,

Sorry if this was covered earlier, but with all this talk about bringing a grow facility up I assume you have access to numbers on plant limits, taxes, and other licensing fees. If that is the case, could you please provide a link?

My family has been looking to move out of Texas for a while, and Colorado was on our list before all this legal MJ stuff cropped up. We plan on purchasing a small tract of land (50-100 acres if possible), and if I can use that land to help fund our families lifestyle that would be great.

Mostly, im having trouble figuring out the plant limits for legal retail cultivation facilities. If we could get away with growing even a half acre of marijuana at 10 sq per plant, that would make a pretty good amount of product. Not being our only source of income would help to lower the prices we could sell at, so offloading throughout the year shouldnt be too much of an issue.

Anyone have any good links that would help flesh out my ideas a bit more?

Thanks!

you will get the feds knocking down your door if you try something like that. the OP is in Canada.

I understand there will always be the threat of Federal intervention until MJ is legal across the board. Just to be clear though, I dont plan on doing anything as big as the OP - simply plan on growing an outdoor harvest each year, and running a perpetual grow indoors to help pay for things the family may need.

Also, this might interest you (and other members of rollitup) - http://www.hightimes.com/read/us-house-bans-feds-policing-medical-marijuana-states

Now this still has to pass one more vote I think, but if it does it should help to even the playing field for those interested in getting in on the ground floor for legal MJ.

Thanks again!

You need 3 year residency in CO to be considered for a commercial license. Then you need several hundred thousand in start up capital to get going. Unfortunately, it's not quite as simple as buying land and growing your ass off - move to CA if this is what you are looking for.

Damn, the three year deal is kind of a deal breaker :( that might just be a good time to get my roots down in CO though, and feel out the market! Was planning on working in a dispensary anyhow, just ready for a change workwise. Oilfield sucks a whole lot.

As for startup, why would it cost so much? I understand the licensing is expensive, and needs to be renewed annually, but aside from that? All you need is a secure enclosed area that can be locked and has surveillance. I dont want a mega grow area, just a quarter acre spot outside to harvest once a year and another indoor space to allow for yearly grows.

Doesnt seem like much to me, anyhow ;)

.... The cultivation of 30 or more plants is a Class 4 felony punishable by 2-6 years imprisonment as well as a fine between $2,000-$500,000.

I may be misreading your post, but im talking about growing with a retail cultivation license. That changes things, as the state then allows for a person to grow a certain number of plants to supply legal MJ establishments. Unless im not reading it right.
