You wont fare any better out here than you are in the Pol section so keep it there.
Holy crap, the "cat shit n' piss" buds are heading the Bronco's way. Isn't it amazing a man who has such a great garden can just pack it up and move AGAIN? As for the POL section, his messiahs presidency is crashing and burning daily, destined for abysmal failure. Just glad he's not moving here, you all can have the racist bigot.

It is fun to see people fall over themselves to take a shot a UB.


He is living in your heads rent free.

Back yard grows aren't legal if in public view... so shove that one foot fence up your litter box.
I don't own a cat, so your "insult" is really dumb.
Am I the victim of misdirected animosity or did your balls recently drop and you are feeling lucky?

Have you actually read the amendment?
Have you talked to a lawyer?
Do you know the legal definition of enclosed space?
Do you know how to read well enough to distinguish between me and Uncle Buck?
How does it feel to have Uncle Buck living in your head rent free?

Respectfully, "enclosed" likely means that there must be a roof. “‘Enclosed’ means a permanent or semi-permanent area covered and surrounded on all sides. Temporary openings of windows or doors or the temporary removal of wall or ceiling panels does not convert the area into an unenclosed space.”*Colo. Rev. Stat. 18-18-102(14.5). Though it'd be plausable to argue that "all sides" doesn't mean a roof/top if you got prosecuted, the next sentence, specifically discussing "ceiling panels" seems to indicate that "all sides"includes the top. Of course, this is a grey area, so prosecution on that basis alone could be difficult. So, to be safe, whether your grow space is a square foot or a square mile, have a ceiling/top (roof, tent, fence, chicken wire, twine, string (who knows, it's unclear and undefined)).

Cheers!

just to settle a few things:

i am not interested in setting up shop forever, so a full on operation is out of the question. i don't think my folks know what the capital would be like and i know they don't realize how bad it would be to invest any money in that kind of thing while it's still federally illegal. they both just seem to think that since CO gave it the go ahead, now it's all good. i want to see how this shakes out, especially when there is an administration change in 2016.

i plan on building 2-4 greenhouses and since the weather there is inevitably gonna bring hail, high winds, and the like, i have to build them well just to last through one season. they will be in a rural, private setting and not out of place in any way with a mammoth (acres large) hobby farm growing around it. there will also be chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, and more kept on the property. i'm actually considering an emu to guard things, they are goddamn terrifying.

there is still a very thriving gray market in colorado if i am not allowed to vend to legal dispensaries due to lack of permits and the like. but i am interested in finding out what it would take financially speaking to have it happen the 100% state legal way. if anyone can give me an approximate estimation, i am all ears. like obama.

the other thing i am wondering about is if it will be necessary to heat the greenhouses just to get to october on the valley floor. i know the season is super short up in evergreen at 8000 feet, but on the plains below i have no idea what the season is like. all info welcomed.

and yes, cats will likely poop on the property.

Uncle Ben: southern Colorado's probably your best bet for what you describe, though its not an hour from Denver. More like 2-4 depending on how far out and rural you're wanting. Within an hour of downtown, you'll likely encounter issues with a multi-greenhouse op., between unfamiliar law enforcement and nosy neighbors. Boulder might work, but it's almost prohibitively expensive (particularly for any sort or land to speak of).

Cheers!

that's about what we've been seeing on our searches, i'm thinking a horse property of 5-10 acres might provide enough 'nosy neighbor' cover though. i've seen a few of those within an hour of downtown.

Watch out for local covenants too. They're rampant in the psudo-rural areas within an hour or downtown.

Have you thought about Highlands Ranch? LOL

you can heat your greenhouses with water reserves to absorb heat during the day. water releases a good amount of heat as it cools. you could also have a few compost piles in the greenhouses since they produce their own heat and the darkness of it will absorb sunlight as well.

You will probably not need to heat a greenhouse in October. It will need to be ventilated during the day. Greenhouses in July can get raging hot.
I have a greenhouse. I put flagstone on the floor. All my potted flowers etc are in there right now and doing fine.

I was recently in the market for land in the highway 105 corridor between Sedalia and Monument. Damn pricey, 20k an acre if you buy 10 or more, otherwise can be 30 or 40k an acre.... Beautiful though.

If you want reasonable acreage, Pueblo is your huckleberry and also the place that will give you the least guff about growing.
