Become a breeder?
I’m on my second plant. Just set 2 seeds of different cultivars for germination. I’ve got Medical.
How does one get licensed to do more than the residential limit so they can do a breeding business?
I feel like I’ve generally been confused in life for the last 10~15 years or so… My younger years were all about Technology and I’ve been trying to find something that clicks with me as something I feel like I could enjoy doing for the rest of my life.
Last night I felt an electric excitement about popping a micro-grow of 2 seeds, you’re starting life and there is nothing like it. Also for the last few years the medicine I get has been of more and more questionable quality to me. Sometimes its headache weed and other times it makes me argumentative… I need stability in my medicine in regards to the effects it causes, I’m tired of the surprises.
How does someone go about getting that license to be able to do good phenotype hunts and breed so new cultivars with limited “bad” effects can be created?
I have a friend that is super obsessed with the E85 Cultivar and want to develop similar for myself that just has all the good(for me) medicinal effects when I need them. If I want that then surely someone else does too!
I’d like to focus on auto-flower but bring in new photo period cultivars so I’d need the space and plant allotment to allow for such cross breeding.

If you want to start a seed business and be 100% compliant, partnering with a licensed legal farm (in a locale that allows it) is pretty much the only way to do it. You’d have to be an employee of the farm, and your activities would have to stay within the laws and limits that apply for that business.
if you want to do large pheno hunts or seed projects in your home grow, you kinda have to accept that you will likely be violating the rules in some way or another. sometimes there are legal loopholes you can use to give yourself some degree of legal protection, but it’s typically not a sure thing and there’s almost always still some potential risk.
in other words… if you are going to start a cannabis seed business you’ve got to either fully commit to a partnership with a legal farm and follow all the rules, or you’ve got to accept that you are not 100% compliant and will always face some degree of potential legal risk.

To be honest I’m not sure how to take this. I’m on disability and my reality is basically… I find something I can do or I’m stuck on disability. The reality of working for someone isn’t something I’m capable of doing anymore. I need to be my own boss and that is what pointed me in this direction.
Who do I have to answer to initially? Just myself, I’d want to produce a quality set of seeds if I was starting a genetics company though. It does seem like a *something I can do* if I am not forced to be an employee for someone. I can guarantee with nearly 100% certainty things are going to go severely wrong if I was put in that situation. I’m not the happy little follower they want me to be.
But I do believe I have a lot to bring to the table. Certain popular cultivars these days don’t hit me well at all. I’m sensitive to that stuff so I think that is a positive as I could grow/cultivate and breed cultivars that… For people like me are becoming a rarity.
First and foremost its about medicine and the medicine being stable. I goto the retail outlets and its not. Sometimes its headache weed that you opened and can’t take back and are stuck with it… But you bought a month of that for your life… Or argumentative weed… So everyone in your life for that month is going what the heck is up with you? Why are you so uptight and want to argue about everything?
