Hey guys I live in Texas and am interested in starting a CBD farm. Any docs on common pitfalls or issues would be great. The main reason I'm here tho is to ask for security ideas. Getting started is expensive so can't afford top notch security or a guard or anything. Other than a fence and cameras any ideas?

Sometimes you have to do your own wetwork.

Don't tell anyone you're doing it.
Honestly, a CBD farm won't have much to worry about, so maybe you should put up small CBD signs all over the place.

While I love my Pitbulls. Many of them are to friendly to humans to be guard dogs. Id get some Kangals. Nobody getting in, or out. Theyre expensive, and be prepared for a large food bill.. Theyve got the highest bite force of any dog at 743lbs

As i approach this notion as a remote possibility in my future I've given it some thoughts. My approach will be making the grounds and access to stuff a difficult maze of sorts.
You can do small trees that make vehicle passage impossible or so difficult it forces alternative routing. Multiple privacy fences as walls to force left and right turns. Layered fortress design, but with green lean.
Gates, lots of gates, big and small will add time to a would be snatcher.
I dont know if ur greenhousing it or naked out in the yard, nor do i know how big a space ur talking about...i have 40acres so there's no way i can secure a large grow unless i go greenhouse...which...idk, maybe if i hit the lottery, but for now all im gonna do is purple paint on fenceposts.
Texas and other states use purple paint to warn hunters. means don't even fkn think about going in there to hunt or even go get ur wounded deer without contacting owner.

Telling people is the biggest problem. Nobody keeps a secret.
You tell me, I tell them, they nonchalantly tell everyone while driving through the area. "There's a mega-pot farm around here somewhere." Maybe it;s only four plants. Doesn't matter. People are people. And the people will steal four plants with four more weeks to go then throw them away.

Since bananas and banana water is the latest RIU craze - opt for some pissed off gorillas.

Buy a shotgun or a pistol, that will give you more than enough security, or if you get super paranoid, go for the AK47 option

Common pitfalls would be investing a bunch of money to grow hemp and then not having an outlet for it once it's harvested and being stuck sitting on it with no place to sell it. There's a glut of cbd/hemp in the United States.
Are you going to process the CBD yourself and produce products?
I'm waiting for a legal path to open between me and California. Once that happens why bother, just import.
