Hello everyone! So excited to be here 
My name is Skyler, and I live in the newly legalized state of South Dakota!
I’m an avid gardener and a hobby grower of ≈15yrs
I’m sure I’ll have an annoying amount of questions in time, but my first question is this:
What advice would you give growers about to begin in a new state? What do you wish you had known/been told when your state legalized/when you started growing?
Thanks a bunch! And I look forward to getting to know everyone

If you have the capability, buy the best first. From lights, nutes, soils, and most of all genetics.

What he said. Plus i wish i would have came before spending money on lights. Light light lights. Number 1 in growing. Dont cheap out on them. Other than that dont go over ur legal limit of flowered plants u can veg as many as u want i believe unless they have a regulation on that. But remember if ur growing inside. Lights. Oh and welcome bud.

Lights are the actual food source. Nutes are vitamins.

Here you get 4 plants must be outdoors and 300 feet from any dwelling. Medical only. And must be 25 miles from dispensary. Liscence is $100K A YEAR and only 13 Liscences total for entire state.

That is just ridiculous. Really making it impossible for smaller growers to be part of a new industry.
What advice would you give growers about to begin in a new state? @sumwonyustano
Best advice for me would be to start with good genetics. Its something you will learn over time and get excited about with new genetics along the journey. But do your research on the different types etc. Also eventhough it is legal, I would keep my growing to a close circle of friends and family.

From what I read you’ve been growing for 15 yrs? So u know the basics and beyond. As far as newly legalized state, know your laws! Keep on top of them. They will change as the state gets a feel for what works for them. Keep a copy of the current law next to your front door. Or any door an authority would knock on. Sometimes the enforcers of the law aren’t as caught up on it as they should be.
Congrats! Hopefully 2021 will be the year of federal legalization

That sucks! We’ve been fighting for it for years, finally won. We’ll have to wait and see til the laws get changed though to see what we actually won

That’s crazy. Our laws state they have to be inside where no one can see them behind lock and key

Same here in California… allowed 6 indoor but locked up… but its better to get your medical rec… allowed 99 plants… some shops here are medical only still
Quantum board LED all the way… a bit pricey but saves on electric bill and puts out some serious light… how big of a space do you grow area are you working with?
