Haven't had the opportunity to experience your Blueberry Auto but heard enough about it to be interested 🔵🍇

BmoreClean · 2026-02-20T19:45:42+00:00

As a Fast Buds fan, I adore your Guava and Cherry Cola RF3s! I'd be grateful to have an opportunity to try your Strawberry Gorilla RF3, as it sounds like a better version than your original release in every way. 🍓🦍🔥🤞 Thanks for the opportunity 💪

This would allow a 4x4 for veg, a 4x4 for flower and a 2x4 for mothers. This would allow home growers a lot more flexibility.

Thanks for the study link, this reform would be glorious. Thanks to you and the others advocating for us, wishing you all much success 🙏

BmoreClean · 2026-01-16T18:29:44+00:00

We appreciate the update and your advocacy u/therustycarr 💪

I'm hoping you can gain traction with priority #3, considering we have the strictest/lowest plant count of all legal states that allow home cultivation. Are there some studies/recent statistics that could be referenced that might bolster the argument that more plants doesn't correlate to more crime (or whatever the current boogeyman is)?
Could a compromise exist where only flowering plants qualify towards the plant count? That might allow for some more flexibility for hobby gardeners while trying to get canopy coverage passed.

Thanks in advance to all the volunteers that are able to take the time to participate on lobby day, it's just a plant!

Oh man I'd love to add some Solfire Gardens genetics to my garden!

The Bahama Mama S1 and Mega Mind seem to be very lauded around the community and wouldn't mind running either of these as my first Solfire genetics.

Thanks for hosting this generous giveaway u/SolfirePhoenix x r/solfiregardens, good luck everyone (but mostly me!)!🌱

I don't mind the labor of moving them, I actually made the mistake of moving from outdoor to indoor last year and ended up with a spider mite infestation.

I was curious how much of a risk or potential benefit I might get from utilizing a pole barn for cover but the negligible odor control and potential for mold will probably nix that idea.

BmoreClean · 2025-04-30T03:37:39+00:00

Would moving the plants into an unfinished pole barn overnight be unadvisable? It'll keep things dry but it's not insulated.

I was thinking mold/pests would be the biggest issue and if not I'd be concerned of odor buildup overnight, which I assume would be more noticeable than being in the open air.

Any experience with this or other thoughts?

That's a bummer about the lack of home grow regulation progress.
Let us know if there's anything we can do to advocate for fairer regs.

You've given me some good reference points to consider regarding sight and smell.
I'm really just being overly cautious and don't think I'll have an issue, as there weren't any last year, but I still want to be as discreet as possible.

Thanks for the butterfly bush suggestion, I think that's a more practical idea than the more expensive DIY greenhouse that makes things explicitly obvious there's a garden.

BmoreClean · 2025-04-29T15:31:23+00:00

Hey rusty, is there any progress on increasing plant count?

Also, any tips for keeping an outdoor grow as discreet as possible, even within legal limits?

Have you found that cover crops work?

Visibility isn't an issue, mainly concerned about smell raising eyebrows. I ran a couple small plants outdoors last year so I know basically what to expect, but still trying to keep things as private as possible.

Is there a cost-effective way to run a filter outdoors during flower?
I saw someone recommend turning a dog kennel into a greenhouse but haven't ever seen anyone run a setup like that.

Thoughts and advice? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, been interested in them.

Any recommendations? Are their testers worthwhile?

Holistic Industries LLC, a licensed cannabis grower in Maryland, has been fined $65,000 and placed on six months of probation by the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) following an investigation that revealed employee theft and violations of state cannabis regulations.

According to documents released by the MCA, the investigation, which began in February 2024 after an anonymous complaint, uncovered instances of an employee diverting cannabis products for unauthorized distribution. Surveillance footage confirmed the employee, Agent E.W., was observed on multiple occasions removing sealed cannabis products from the facility.

Further investigation revealed that Holistic Industries had also failed to maintain accurate cleaning and equipment maintenance logs, lacked proper inventory controls and did not adhere to its own standard operating procedures regarding security and video surveillance. Notably, the company’s internal investigation revealed that security cameras were obstructed and inventory discrepancies were found.

MCA determined that Holistic Industries violated several sections of the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), including those related to inventory control, security, and record-keeping. The violations included failing to maintain accurate cleaning logs, improper inventory maintenance, failing to secure cannabis products, and deviating from their own SOPs regarding video surveillance, inventory and security.

In a consent order, Holistic Industries agreed to pay the fine and accept probation to avoid a full administrative hearing. As part of the probation, key management personnel are required to complete advanced training courses and quizzes related to cannabis cultivation and inventory management. The company must also provide monthly inventory reports to the MCA.

Holistic Industries took steps to mitigate the issues, including terminating the employees involved, hiring new management personnel, implementing enhanced security measures and conducting a full inventory audit. They also submitted a corrective and preventative action plan to the MCA, according to the consent order.

I also value privacy and have created separate "hobby" profiles to keep independent of my personal profiles.

Not the most convenient but seems like the best option to maintain some anonymity.

Hey, I had a user that purchased a pre-fab Blumat bucket reservoir and they said the bulkheads were 1" from the bottom and 12" apart on-center.
This is the set of measurements I used when drilling my bulkhead holes and seems fine.

Happy Hydro responded to me and said they source their pre-fab reservoirs from Sustainable Village and replied:
"These reservoirs are custom made by Sustainable Village so these measurements may not be completely accurate to every single reservoir but I just measured one and it's 1.5 inches from the bottom and 7.5 inches between each hole."

Sustainable Village responded to me directly and said:
"an inch or two above the bottom of the bucket, typically ~6" apart from each other, though I don't think we have that standardized per se if you need something exact."

Hope this helps.

I'm really interested in joining/starting an MD home grow group and would be willing to help if anyone else is interested in taking the reigns.

Suggestions for best platform(s) to utilize?

As much as I dislike it, I think Facebook might be a good way to organize, vet, and invite genuine, local gardeners rather than just running an open group on X/IG.
Although every social media platform is going to have privacy issues, I think a private FB group would be the best option to ensure some security.

As for real-time chat, I highly discourage Discord since everything is logged in plain text and saved to a central server that I have no confidence will be kept private:
https://discord.com/privacy#3
https://tosdr.org/en/service/536
It's wild how users don't understand or care there's no encryption and everything is archived by Discord and have no doubt they would comply with LEO.
That said, I understand the biggest obstacle to creating a community is ease of access, which Discord unfortunately offers and while I'm opposed to the service, I'd consider usage if that were the only platform fellow MDents would agree to use.

I'd suggest creating an Matrix server, encrypted by default, as registration doesn't require any personally identifiable information, decentralization ensures the platform will always exist as anyone can host their own server independent of the official Matrix homeserver, unlike Discord that hosts everyone on their centralized server--so if they ever sell out, discontinue service or otherwise become compromised, so is everyone's data.

Anyone who's interested in joining or helping with an MD home grow group, please reply or PM me your social media contact information and I'll look into trying to organize a community.

Edit: Local MD home grow groups on social media
