@RojoLoco There's farming, and there's "farming" - though you are technically correct.
That's just a matter of scale, and I would hope that in the newly free state of Colorado, the ganja farmers are doing it big.
We only differ in semantics

Wow - Best of luck to you @Nic
-
It's farming, but with some interesting constraints. You have to secure your plants in a way that other industries don't require, and you have to track them from seed to harvest for compliance reasons. The other interesting factor is that because it's been illegal for so long, there's not as much public knowledge or scientific research like there is for other crops. That's part of what we're hoping to change with the Growers Network community.

Congratulations @Nic!
-
@Nic you've been nothing but friendly and helpful to me.
Good luck in your new endeavor.!
Or as @scottalanmiller would say ... endeavour.

Congrats and good luck!

That's weird, I thought that there was more knowledge than with other crops. You know in hydroponic circles, nearly all industry knowledge comes from marijuana farming. Everyone that grows tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, etc. learns from marijuana educational materials.

That's probably true in more recent history, but there's not the longer term build-up of knowledge due to it having been illegal in most places for so long. Plus the grow operations are becoming bigger now (or at least the legitimate ones are). Whatever the current state, we're hoping to collect and improve on the knowledge that's out there and provide a place for professionals to share knowledge. The Spiceworks of Cannabis, if you will

But that is more info on indoor growing in general. Much less is known about the specifics of cultivating various cannabis strains than is known about tomatoes or other veggies.
And please don't call it marijuana, that's the slang term popularized by the fear mongers that made it illegal in the first place.

So cannabis is the correct term for the plant as a whole as grown? Funny that I'm not actually aware of that.
-
And then hemp is a specific strain?
-
If only there were a community where one could ask these questions!
-
Congrats @nic and good luck! I'm sure that you will love getting to work from home.

Hemp is a general term for cannabis ruderalis, which is mostly grown for fiber, not flowers. It's also the term for the fiber itself.

I'd love a 1 yr trial of a nice, heavy Indica, please.

There was subtle Internet humor in my joke.
I wasn't talking about Webroot codes.
