I think big corp will be the biggest problem as ultimately they're the ones that manipulate our government and have a lot of money invested in the medical cannabis system.
Not harping on it but I believe big corp has truely been emboldened by the whole covid shitshow thing and are more than happy to push the envelope in many ways.
Noticed yesterday were all being filmed up close whilst self serving at Coles!
Usually don't self serve.
Bunnings also bringing in face recognition in car park and stores.guilty unless proven innocent?
I say fuck U big corp πŸ˜πŸ–•

She's got a "lead foot" with nutrients. LOL. I've got another local mate I'm helping out with seeds and grow advice. Just changed him over from HPS to LED lights. He's growing out my tester strains in this video below

This grower is ramping up towards his retirement. Set up a decent shed( insulated) on his property with a 2kw air cond unit, and huge solar power setup on the roof.. Running 2 flower spaces of 8 feet x 4 feet ( each), and a 4 feet x 4 feet veg space. He's planning on 25 to 30 pounds a year turnaround. Life goals !!

Wow! That's the dream! I'm completely off grid on solar and lithium but currently my solar can only cope with a .90x.90 and a1.2x.1.2 with all associated exhaust, dehumidifier etc...
Come summer I can run another 1x1
I had 8 weeks in winter running nothing.

I havent got battery yet but the solar does make a big difference. The general rule I was told by a salesman is that solar takes 30-40% of the hit and a battery will give you maybe another 30%. That would mean you could bring your power bill down by 60-70% but the cost of that battery will take 10 Years plus to justify itself.
heating in winter at night is the big killer

I'm living in a mobile home and sheds while saving a little longer for the main house and solar system. For now I am running plug and play systems from Bluetti. A AC500 with 4 x b300s, gives 3072wh x 4 = 12.3kwh. This is dedicated to my fully insulated shed. I have an older lead acid system runs the house.

Fast recharging with the generators means filling it up on a bad day only takes a few hours

At 8k a year for my meds I figure my system pays for itself in 2 years! And rated to 80% capacity after 3500cycles give me about 10years to 80% capacity roughly

Yeah high value crops definitely affect the equation :p . I guess if you can afford the initial outlay its worth it in the long run.
Be nice to see the price of batteries halve though
