actually Doc, you're wrong on one aspect. Get plenty people here who grow indoors! Doc, prices on BI has nothing to do with where it's grown(inside or out). Let me educate you on some basic cannabis facts. Economics 101, it's called "supply & demand". On the Big Island cannabis far exceeds the demand here. In doing so it drives prices down. Were on Oahu, demand exceeds supply driving up costs. You understand that right?
As for the comment about a T-shirt & a few bars of wax. Perhaps you're not old enough to understand that joke? In the old days when buying a surfboard. The shop would throw at you a tee-shirt or two, and plenty bars of wax.
Why do I always have my ounces several grams over? Because I was always depending on others for distribution, again because of supply & demand being the driving factor Middle men tend to "pinch". So I make it a bit over and everbody is happy. Plus, if your a middle man who do you wanna work for? The guy who stuff is over, or the guy who packets are on point? I do to stay above competition.
Did you guys ever write or call some product companies on mainland for "Free Samples" like I suggested you do? You see, I don't grow large weight anymore. Just personals. But with each grow I do a side by side grow competitition with different nutes I got for free or just postage paid. It allows me to find out which works best for different strains.
puna, I know about supply and demand, that's what I was saying by anyone can grow there!! the supply exceeds the demand.
and prices do matter if it's grown indoor or outdoor. outdoor you pay for nutes, and soil ammendments. indoor, if you're on it, you pay for the soil, nutes, electricity for lights and ac and fans running, CO2, pay for setting up a grow room, etc., etc. I'm pretty sure you trying to make a profit right? so you gotta price your product accordingly.
as far as the wax comment, sure I understand it, lol!!!! to this day they still throw you wax, leash, t-shirt with a purchase. especially a t-shirt, free promo. never purchased a board lately, huh? lol
if I'm a middle man, I want my guy to be on point. not over, not under, but on point. that way there is no " oh, but I always give you over, try helping me out some.." blah, blah, blah. no favors, just business. and in kkdays operation, there is no middle man, he is the man. there is no need to scale over unless you trying to hook someone up. you scale them over, they will expect it everytime.
never did do the free samples. reason being, they wouldn't last throughout the whole grow. but the grow shops do kick free samples of product all the time. just don't use em.
