Beginner grower, introducing myself :)

Hey guys & gals,

I am new to this forum but been browsing rollitup, 420mag and grasscity for a while now, mostly growing sections...

I've been a street dealer for a while now, have great deals for pounds but as everyone knows, it's much cheaper to grow by yourself, so here I am!

As of right now, I own a few real estate properties and bought a Gorilla grow tent 9x9 @ 4995$ full equiped by fullbloom hydroponics. Bought the small pots for clones/seeds and the big pots for veg & flowering.

Everything is installed but still have to manage how i'll install other stuff in my basement for drying & curing...

ANYWAYS!

I am here to learn more about the art of growing big plants and taking care of those babies, which are, cannabis plants.

I am already fully setup for temperature in my basement, everything is insulated so no IR officers can catch anything, the exhaust is equiped with a high-grade carbon filter going INSIDE the basement, not OUTSIDE the house. For the electrical bill, it's consistent when on 24/0 and still consistent when 12/12 because I setup a transformator with a timer that makes it like I spend 12 hours a day of 2500w for the tent and 2500w 12 hours a day on absolutely... NOTHING! So no spikes in term of electricity, no IR detection and no smell.

I think i'm fully setup!

I also use a VPN on both my personal phone and personal computer, I have phones with different company SIM cards which I switch every 2 months and mass sms all my customers using the NEW NUMBER.

Anyways, I treat street dealing as a REAL BUSINESS. I also whiten my money using a registered business to my real name, with fake-proofs of payments. I have a website, business email, business registration number, business phone, and I declare my taxes every 6 months, as well as pay my accountant every month to take care of my books. (don't ask for the business niche, I won't tell!)

I have my own lawyer that's specialized into cannabis businesses, with a cashdown of 8,000$ incase something happens to me, he's all setup too...

I've been in the business for years, I pay my pounds (458g) for 1300$, which is really cheap here. But I guess growing is still more profitable. With my calculations, as a beginner, I should end up @ around 600$/pound after all expenses.

For everything related cannabis, as I said up there, I use a VPN. I also use a safe-mail email, I turn off GPS on my burner phones and data off too. My customers know I am open from 3pm to 8pm 5 days a week. Before 3pm and after 8pm, the phone is on airplane mode. Everything related to the cannabis business is paid in CASH and/or vanilla gift cards.

All the material is shipped to a friend's appartment with his name. (I pay him well too, in cash off course)

I developped my own secure rules and system to make sure I do not get caught. And even so! It wouldn't end up badly.

I've read a lot about law enforcement and what they can do. If they ask to search you car, you say: "I do not accept for a search of my car." and if they tell you they'll call a K-9 unit, you can tell them: "Am I under arrest? If not, I'd like to continue my road, officer." and if they say YOU ARE under arrest, you say: "Under what charges am I under arrest? I want to call my lawyer, I will remain silent.".

For my burner phones, they are backed up to NOT lose my clients's database but they are 256-AES encrypted. When people enter 3 times the wrong password, the phone wipes out automatically. I am the only one to know where to get the backup. And the backup has a password too.

For the money that's not whitened, I do NOT keep it at home, I transfer it in BitCoins and make paper deposits.

I think that's all...

Anyways thank you for welcoming me here, I'd like to contribute to this forum MAINLY in term of security and legalities. For the rest, i'd like to develop my growing talents to get more yields off my grows.

Tell me what you think of my business plan, if you read it all hahah!

Call me Asphalte BTW =).

I am in Alberta, Canada just moved from Ontario not too long ago. I'm wondering what i can legally get away with growing before I face serious jail time. I have 2 mothers and 12 plants. I found this link >>>http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-95148.html

if i put a lock on my bedroom door would they need a seperate warrant?

do u know if these are still in affect? If you are in the states, my bad.

Ya I was thinking 2 mothers and 12 clones in alberta being close to BC and all shouldnt really be too concerning. The link I found says 1-3 plants would be 12 months in jail and/or up to a $5,000 fine. 4-25 plants is up to a $25,000 fine and/or up to 18 months in jail. So if I am growing 14 plants I may as well grow 25 by the way these laws go lol.
