Weaselcracker, good point! we do deed to be careful. Thanks for the head-up.

delacruz, glad you found Cynthia's email. If enough of us small time people contact her maybe we can bend her ear in our favor. I'm thinking about a letter to the Anchorage daily news sometime in the future.

Dank420girl, I certainly hope the price stays up and it has the chance to if we don't over supply the market. If there is twice as much pot available as the market can absorb the price will drop. Thanks for the tip on the high quality weed. Maybe it's smarter to grow indoors and avoid the...

A woman named Cynthia Franklin is the head of the Department of Alcohol and Tobacco. She's in charge of making the new rules. If you have any concerns you can find her email by a google search. If enough of us make our feelings known, perhaps we will get something that benefits us all. Right...

Delacruz, Wow May 16 that's pretty late into the year. What do you think about capping the amount of pot or growing space per license? The thing is that three 20,000 electric light indoor operations could produce all the pot needed in Alaska. Just 1000 sf of lighting cost about $60,000...

Weaselcracker, I actually own some property not far from where you must have been growing...good to know stuff grows down their too but yes it is a lot wetter than Kodiaks west side.

delacruz, Yep being legal will be much nicer... are you considering trying to get licensed and grow commercially? Are you growing on the town side or on the west side. Sounds like having drier weather might be a real positive thing what with mold occurring in wet climates. I'm starting to...

Hi delacruz... Have you chosen the strain you want to plant yet?

Weaselcracker, Yes I'm hoping to find the right strain. Purple Power sounds pretty interesting...big plants and mold resistant. Ideally I would like to grow 3 different strains. One 50/50 indica saliva, One predominately indica and one predominately saliva. I do like the idea of growing...

Weaselcracker, Thanks for the response. On the west side of Kodiak Island it is really dry and sunny. It only gets about 25" of rain a month where my property is ...so probably about 2 inches a month in summer or less. That's drier than most places on the west coast but then again if the...

By the way I know some people in Valdez. I fish salmon there commercially. much aloha, KodiakStoner

Yes I guess there is a profit for the big guys if growers do in fact get $85 per ounce. I'm kind of hoping the State of Alaska takes a different approach then Washington. If the average Alaskan consumes .4 oz of legal pot per year, it translates into about 350,000 ounces. It wouldn't take too...

I just read that growers are holding ten times the pot needed by retailers for sale in Washington right now. I tend to think the market will drop pretty quickly too. However the first year in Alaska if you're ready might be a bonanza.

Thanks for the welcome...yep I know I need to wait until the laws get more defined but at the same time I'm of the school of thought that, the first to grow on a larger scale in Alaska might have a chance to do pretty well. My expectations are that after the third year there will be so much of...

Greetings people, I just joined this cool site. As you all know, Alaska is going to be a legal place to grow commercially real soon. By August 2015, we should have some guidelines in place. I own property on Kodiak Island both on the East side and the West side. The East side is pretty...
