    Latest oha/ommp mmj news:

    Bit that stood out to me: "The report — which was ordered by OHA Director Patrick Allen after receiving complaints from both state and federal law enforcement — found there are more than 20,000 grow sites in the state. Due to a severe lack of inspectors, however, OMMP reportedly carried out just...

    In case anyone missed this article in WW:

    Too much cannabis is being grown to support prohibition prices. As expected once every house was allowed 4 rec plants, the price of herb has plummeted. I still think we're 5-10 yrs away from a price parity with tobacco (pipe/roll your own) and honestly, it's a good thing in the long run for...

    Current card renewal time (online)

    Hey guys figured I would share my experience: I recently renewed my cards online as s full fee patient changing physicians (form was signed, not chart notes) and removing caregiver. They processed my payment of fees and gave me a 30 day receipt at 9pm on the 29th, and by the time I looked at 1pm...

    Heads up, (immature) plant limits changed again:

    While HB 2198, that was just signed into law, made headlines for establishing a CANNABIS COMMISSION (emphasis theirs) and dictating how the commission should be set up, it also effects us growers as it reintroduces a 12 plant (per card) immature plant limit and further defines immature plants as...

    Pot prices fall in 2016:

    According to forbes magazine, prices are falling like a stone on pot prices, anyone seeing this at their local legal outlet? Here in the sticks it's still mostly $16/gr for decent kind (med). Washington state supposedly has dropped from 25/gr to 6/gr. Actually reading their mid year report...

    Anyone tried growing (low nutrient level!) in a backyard pond?

    My current (legal) designated garden spot is getting a bit crowded, and shielding the 14 foot tall trees from public view is getting harder, so I'm considering using my backyard water feature / pond (it's ~ 350 gallons with a waterfall to circulate water) if I opt for very light additional...

    Medford voters in November to vote on growing ban:

    Heads up to you southerners: Medford's voters will have at least one and likely two cannabis bans on the November ballot. First will be a ban on outdoor growing (rec and medically), then assuming the city council passes it again, there will be a ban on both indoor and outdoor growing... See the...

    To top or not to top when growing outside?

    Ok guys, we're nearing the point where my (completely 100%) legal outdoor grow needs to either be topped or not and I find myself unable to decide. Topping (in theory) keeps the height down but that's not an issue here (and since I'm vegging for 8 weeks before putting them outside to veg a lot...

    Anyone else try to renew with just chart notes?

    Hey all, trying something new this year and renewing without going to a MMJ clinic. Reading over the renewal instructions and the attending physicians statement it looks like I should be successful even though my physician wouldn't sign the statement as he noted on my charts that he is...

    And now... Third outdoor grow early start:

    So far it looks like I'll have ~7 good examples to play with this year still giving the questionable plants a bit of time to surprise me. So far there seems to be 2 "BB#3" (from "Anesia", not holding my breath they're BBs.), 2 criminal+, 2 Jackberry x Shackzilla, and 1 Mad Kush. They've...

    HB3400 new limits question:

    My government-ese isn't as good as it once was but when scanning through the new rules on pot (HB3400) I came upon this section looking for limits to growing/possessing as a self grower: snip ----- SECTION 82a. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, a registry identification...

    My second outdoor grow:

    First time 20# containers with the plants outside for the first time in early june (seeds started 3/13), this time plants were outside by ~late march and are into the ground (tilled, added compost, etc.). Shoving 6 plants into an area that is roughly 7' x 9' with a curved hoop style roof that...

    Moving outside after an extended indoor veg time:

    Hey all, fairly straight forward question, where I live the days aren't going to be longer than 12 hours until march 19nd (at which point it's 12:02 from sunrise to sunset). If the weather blokes are to be believed I could in theory move my girls outside on the 15th (11hr 50 min days). However...

    Time to call your (state) legislatures:

    Hey guys, here's a run down of the (MANY) MJ bills that have been introduced to regulate/tweak the legalization. Contact (email, write, call) your elected officials if you support (or better yet, if you don't!) any of these: The first big one: Rep. John Lively, D-Springfield, introduced a...

    Ok outdoor growers (or people who don't like to trim)

    I've always poo-pooed the automatic trimming devices, but a trial run this evening with "The Clean Cut Bowl Leaf Trimmer" (specifically the 19" version for $200 on amazon) and I can say I'm a believer. Mind you, I absolutely HATE trimming (carpel tunnel and a bad back from a life mislead plus...

    Let's see how (ideally oregon) people feel about Prop 91 shall we?

    So, I just posted that I thought the majority of people in this subthread support legalization (ala prop 91) but honestly, I don't know as most people are quite quiet. So here is your chance to have your voice be heard WHILST remaining quiet. Simple question, how will you be voting come...

    Too hot, too well watered, or too fast growing?

    I've heard all three as reasons for the leaf twist (with hot being the likely choice to me as the twisted leaves are on the side that's not covered by the greenhouse poly film which cuts light to 86% and diffuses it to 60%). The soil is not saturated that I can tell (20G mesh container), it hit...

    Growroom design sanity check:

    Hey all, wanted to get a sanity check on my current design plan (posted this on another forum, but no responses, so let's see if rolling is more useful ;) ): My current thought for building my veg/flower boxes is to size both at 3.5' x 3.5' x 7' and run a 1kw cooltube in each (MH and HPS...

    Waterproof Vaporizer?

    Does anyone know of a waterproof vaporizer (or pipe?) I have one hell of a time refraining from dropping my pipe into the hot tub (thankfully it's a sealed pipe so haven't then had to clean the tub, but it keeps ruining bowls.) The omnicron claims to be waterproof but if you read further it...
