Good day all. I am relatively new to growersnetwork and have been catching up on all the material here. You all are amazing and helpful with sharing your knowledge. I have Hemp Cultivation License here in Illinois along with Hemp Processing License for three years. We have several locations and as we set up shop I would like to know some best practices, things to be mindful of, growers, equipment and SOPs that benefit the business while we build out our facilities. We are in the processes of applying for Cannabis Cultivation and Dispensary here in Illinois as well. Illinois will be recreational use January 1, 2020.

Don’t forget if you are a business owner for a dispensary in the Illinois cannabis program - Training will now be required for the entire program (rec & med) through the responsible vendor program! - The department is reviewing the applications for the companies to be accredited right now! - Info will be available in September regarding the required training all employees must go through.

Yes, thanks @thegirlwhogrows. We were wondering when and who the approved vendors were going to be for training. I know they are opening the opportunity for training and funding under the R3 program as set out after July 1st but we haven’t seen anything tangible yet.

Hi,
Hope all going well your end and things are blooming nicely
Thought I would touch base with you and see if you would be interested in my range of seeds.
I run https://www.sensibleseeds.com/ which has most of the established seed banks, though I have been active in the cannabis industry for over 25 years and have built up a large network of breeders , so can pretty much source any strain to suit your needs; access to over 6000 plus strains covering all your requirements - THC, CBD, Autoflower, CBD Hemp ( Farm Bill compliant ), Landrace etc.
We ship worldwide and our packaging is very discreet and stealthy.
Fellow GN members will be given a 10% discount on all orders and large / Bulk orders will get a better discount and extra free seeds as well.
If interested please drop me a message and I will do my best to advise and happy to jump on the phone for a chat if easier.
Cheers

Yes - the application process for the companies wanting to get accredited ended on Aug 15th and I believe the department has to approve within 15 or 30 days (I forget the end date - I do believe it’s September 1st, don’t hold me to that though) the programs and then that information should be available to the public! Next month we will see more info coming out about the subject!
