Hey everyone first and foremost I want to say thank you for even opening this and reading it. Even if you stop reading this right here and now I appreciate it very much.
Okay so I going to try and sum up this post a little bit about what I'm looking for/to do in Oregon in this first paragraph and go into more detail about myself below. At the moment I live in an illegal state (Texas) where I'm currently growing and I know its not a matter of how but when something bad will happen. So my fiancee and I are planing on moving to Oregon sometime in June. Basically what I'm hoping to accomplish with this post and similar ones I'm going to be putting on other sites (so if you frequent other site and see this pop up that's why lol) is to establish some contacts or leads to help get my foot in the door in Oregon. What I'm hoping for and my ideal situation is to grow for a shop(s) in Oregon. And as a side business setup grow boxes and small grow rooms for recreational growing once measure 91 takes affect July 1. So that's my goals and any help or leads in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
So now that you know about what I'm trying to do, here is a little bit about me. I've been growing here in the lone star state for the past 2 ½ years. I currently use the hempy bucket method as I'm a huge fan of the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method of doing things. And to me the hempy bucket is the very definition of this method. In the last 2 ½ years of growing I have help build/built over 20 grow boxes and grow rooms and have a pretty good working knowledge on how it all works. All but 2 of the grow rooms I've help build use the hempy bucket method since I also believe its the easiest method to start with (although I'm sure they've changed to another system by now). The only other method I've set up and helped a good friend run was bio-buckets which I believe to be by far one of the best methods of growing for its phenomenal plant growth and easy of use once you get it going (its just a pain in the ass to get going/setup lol). One thing I am lacking is large scale growing experience since I've never setup or helped with anything over 10 plants. But being in a illegal state I never wanted to take the risk of doing something or being associated with a huge grow op. Not to say the ones I've set up or helped run are any less illegal lol I just felt they were easier to conceal. So as you can see I basically want to do what I'm currently doing now legally in a more understanding state. As of right now I do all this and work a 40 hour a week job as a supervisor in a plastic making company. And I would love to just make cannabis my full time job.
I love Texas I truly do but being as conservative as it is and from having actually lived here most my life I know its gonna be a while before they jump on the band wagon. The reason I would like to move to Oregon and not Colorado or another legal state is I'm wanting to be apart of the green rush and not just show up late to the party.
So again any help or a point in the right direction would truly be amazing. Our move date is pretty much set in stone so whether or not this helps me find some work, my fiancee and I will be living in Oregon come July more than likely in or around the Portland area. So I would also love to just hear from the locals about the city and state in general since I can look up things about Portland on the internet all day. But there is just no substitute for first hand experience.
Feel free to ask me any questions or leave a comment about the state/city I'm looking for all the info I can get. Thanks again in advance!
