Sounds pretty shady to me and something I would never be a part of. But that's me. If you want someone else using a portion of your property and installing cameras then that's fine.
"Company CEO Redg Snodgrass said that the company will assist the home grower in obtaining a grow license from their local government. The first units are already operational in Oregon, and the company expects the first home systems in California to be up and running early next month.
The company would then manage and monitor the tech-enabled grow systems. Once weed is ready for harvest, CitizenGrown will sell it to local dispensaries and split the revenue with the home grower (to the tune of $1,000 to $3,000 per month)."
"assist the home grower in obtaining a grow license from their local government."
What does that mean? Are they going to pay the costs or are they going to just provide the easily obtained requirements, forms, pay to get the the grow area up to code, etc... to get that license? Sounds like you'll need to spend the thousands it takes to get that license and then they get to use it. On top of that, Oregon has stopped accepting applications.
"CitizenGrown will sell it to local dispensaries and split the revenue with the home grower (to the tune of $1,000 to $3,000 per month)."
How does that work in Oregon where there is a six year surplus already? There is no guarantee that they'll be able to sell the weed to anyone.
From their FAQ page:
That means you are essentially
lending us a small corner of your home, apartment, or farm to deploy our technology for free. That saves us money. And we take care of the rest.
We plant the clones, our Nodes manage the grow, dispensing organic nutrients and optimizing the lighting. Cameras installed inside the Node allow us to remotely monitor everything, while protecting your privacy. When your cannabis is ready to harvest, it’s collected and sold to our network of wholesalers and dispensaries.
So they are basically using a section of your property. They set it up, plant the plants, and manage everything and even install camera's on your property to monitor things. NO THANKS! Everyone is all against Big Brother taking over the industry and these guys want to setup camera's on your property. It's not your grow it's theirs. I'd like to see the fine print on the contract that you'll surely have to sign to become part of this. Anyway, it's definitely not for me.
