i heard in northern cali it's $2000 for dank lbs.? is that true? i don't know how anyone could make money growing with those prices.
this IS true. i found this year that i could get outdoor that i would actually smoke for 1300 a p. made me want to throw up.
you can get some prime indoor for like 22 when they still got OD up there. i couldnt take a hit like that.

First thing is to get away from cfl's and small 4, plant ops. Second is to get through your first grow, 2'nd, 3'rd, till you have enough experience that dispensaries would want your product.
hey hater, i started with 4k watts and the clinics were down as hell with my first batch product. how about saying... be informed and know what your getting into before you really try this out.

Yes, it's true...SoCal too. You gotta have something real special to get decent prices...Or you gotta sit on it till demand creeps back up...
size 32ss all day. if its good, people still want it. if you have something thats Ok, well your pretty much fucked unless you wana get raped

damn...that's crazy. $4000-$5000 for super dank back east. $3000-$3500 for quality.
Well, the best thing you can do out here is stand by your product, and try not to let them convince you it's worth less than you offer. But if you have bills to pay, you can't exactly send a QP to the electric company every month, so sometimes you gotta bite the bullet.

Just my threAd, I am about to rent a house. 3 rooms but only 2 ppl. How should I construct this 3rd room? I know that's vague but I want a clone setup and 2 grow stations. The room is 10x10.

I would use one bedroom for flowering, then set up a tent in each of the bedrooms you're sleeping in to keep mothers and root cuttings...

Ideally, you would both bunk in the livingroom and use all three bedrooms to grow in.

Well I wanted to use that room for veg and flower. Possibly dividing the room in half. Only interested in cycling 10 plants so 20 total. I have a 400 watt t5 with full spectrum aquarium bulbs, 1000 watt MH, and a 4x4 tent. Tent is going for seedlings but I'm just not sold on MH anymore.

uhh it takes 9 weeks to produce num nuts. and you gota pay to trim it. i bet it cost me well over a g per p to make it. and it definitely costs me more than 900 a p to make it? i count my rent in my bills but my overhead is close to 3500 a month. dddamn near 3 month batches.. lets say my bills are 9 grand.. and i end up with 6ps.. more than 900 a p fosho to produce
good point...i wasn't factoring in rent and bills. i was just thinking nutes, equipment, soil, etc...

I think you're a fucking idiot. If said grower can produce a pound for 900 bucks, and then sell said pound for 2400 dollars, HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A HIGH PRICE?!?!?!?

Happens everyday in the mountains here in the Southeast U.S. I think you should invest in some goddamn common sense.
Yea, and I said 900 spent is nothing compared to the profit.
mcrandle seems angry.

topic started was growing for a living. so assuming that after a run or so he doesnt have another yob, hes a full time grower. you got to calculate your rent unless your a snob in my opinion. i live by myself, so there is no reason i would need a 1600 sq house for me and my dog. obviously electric because prior to living here growing i had like 40 dollar electric bills. nutes, equipment, water is about a 50 50.. but then again i wouldnt be using so much water in a smaller house. co2 all the odds and ends, what im getting at is.. if your growing as a full time job paying all your bills with that, if your saying it would cost 900 a p to do so... your full of shit. and if you have a real job and are estimating like that. i still suggest you redo your math, or add it all up for a run, or read the topic of this thread growing as a career.

if it only cost me 900 to make a p, id have over 20gs going into my pocket after this batch. definitely not going to be the case.

the point im trying to make here is to not give this dude who started the thread a big eyed false hope that your going to be a millionare growing weed in a spare bedroom. i know plenty of people growing for years that dont have two nickles to rub together

I would be a little leery of growing in a rental. Is the landlord aware that you are growing? If not, it would suck if he called for some kind of maintenance or inspection and you had to try to break down your grow.

Well I was t talking to you with your bad self. You had adequate lighting and know how. I didn't use your words, but clearly saying get a grow or two for know how. Why get all in a twist over how someone is told to know before yu grow. Damn this place and the trolling whiners.

You would need to be able to move weight to be able to live off growing.
Do you have that sort of connection, that will move your stuff for you?
And i which case, you would have to sell it whole sale.

But if you didnt, and were gram-ing it out. then you would probably get caught quick because of the foot traffic.

of course, this is not what you asked, and is common sense.
But you should still mull over your business model.

But i would second the fact that you need a "real" job, for many reasons.
its always good to have some money that is on the grid, and traceable. Its even good for your neighbors to see you leave to go to work.
its good for your friends to know that you have a job.

People get jealous REAL QUICK. and if anyone finds out that your living off selling weed. they will quickly turn on you.

No indoor under 4 -1000 (on 24/7) all supplies and electric water costs......outdoor is almost free




I been makin extra income from weed for 20 + yrs :) probabaly saved over $150,000 not having to buy it
