How many people sell their product?

You gotta understand that your hypothetical question is still a little while off. Get there first, then come back and ask a question. It is NOT a bad problem to have.. throw them in some Boveda jars, and put them somewhere dark and cool.

Your calculations are off due to your lack of understanding of the growing methods.

You're going to have 12 plants under 600w. You're only going to have 6 for the first 4 weeks.

To pull 4 oz per plant, youre going to have to veg them for several weeks. And if you veg them for several weeks, you ain't fitting 6 more in there once the originals stretch.

6 plants with 4-8 weeks veg will cover every inch of useable light in a 600w's effective area (around 3' X 3')

Even if you did. The 6 new plants you squeezed in there would only have been growing for 4 weeks max. You'd better be using cuttings because you aint pulling 4 zips per plant 4 weeks from seed. But they wouldn't fit. They would get no light, the whole thing would be a mess and youd end up with mostly airy, light buds that don't sell. If youre lucky, the few colas that were able to get in the light wont be rotted out from botrytis.

A "Sea of Green" is a perpetual method. You focus on low yields from a lot of plants rather than high yields from fewer plants. You cant have both.

If you get 12oz from your first harvest under a 600w, youre doing well. I would plan for 8.

If you want to do a perpetual harvest do 2 plants every 4 weeks. That is doable and you could 4-8oz per harvest. Thats up to a pound a month, which is about 1g/watt and would be impressive and/or lucky for anyone with little experience.
Did you see my setup I posted a link to? I will include the image I had in the thread on this post as well on the main post.

If I start 6 new seedlings every 2 weeks, and have them under CFL for 2 weeks as well, they would be able to put into my veg tent for 4 weeks, then moved into the flowering tent for 8 weeks. I do know some might need to veg or flower for longer.

Lol, I'm sorry op but the title of this thread is very nieve. Why would any of us line up and tell on a public forum that has been read by the feds and probably still is that we are making illegal money off an illegal activity. People have been busted from here, NOT because of here, but drawing unwanted attention by being bragadocious is never a good idea.

I know I was off by ALOT. But when I got the calculation of 5.2lb I was shocked. I doubted I could even move that much so quick and so often. With 4oz off ea plant at BEST is much more reasonable.

Thanks for your input.

Nobody wants to get busted if they are too big... and nobody wants to sell by grams IF they got 5lbs+ per 4 weeks.... Not saying I will as I got my calculations wrong. I think that was a good question to ask especially as I live in GA where anything amount is a felony

I didn't expect people to line up or tell me every last detail. I just wanted to know what some people did besides sell.

Dude, move the F. out of Georgia and to a safer state if you want to grow big. I wish confinement upon non of us that run the risk we do. Good Luck and Happy Growing.

Why not just store your excess? Get your growing costs back from the donations you get from your close friends. Greed has taken down many people. Once you cross that "line" the law puts you in a different category. Just look at how many people are locked up right now for selling small amounts. You could easily find yourself in the same position. Is it worth it? Especially for the amounts you are talking about. A few thousand dollars is not worth risking my freedom for.

Lol can't let my mistake go huh curiousuk? I don't plan to become a big massive grower. Just enough for me to smoke and sell to CLOSE friends to pay for the costs. I miscalculated what my setup would produce.... Let it goooooooooooooooo lol

600watts plus fans and such, would only have to move an ounce and a half to pay for your cost of grow. Don't get too cocky out there.

You're not going to be getting 5.2 pounds. This is a pipe dream, and a dumb one at that. It's not wise to discuss illegal activity in a public forum.
I'm not religious, but I recommend listening to God here ;)

fwiw, when the costs are covered for my hobby, that makes me very happy. I'm not a greedy person.

I must have misunderstood how gram per watt worked. I thought when people mentioned theirs it was per PLANT not the entire harvest. It doesn't make sense mentioning your GPW if you don't mention your setup.

I even thought 5.2 lbs per 4 weeks was a bit too much.

Also @curiousuk, I am not being ignorant when you say I should get past the 1st grow THEN ask questions. Usually when someone asks a question, they want a real answer rather than a piece of advice that is obvious. Who REALLY wants to be stuck with 5.2lbs (btw keyword STUCK, as in you can't sell it or smoke it)?
all good man this shit can get verry confusing....what he means is just start growing (small side) and take it from there. you eventually become knowledgeBLE its just one plant....dosent take long to understand how it works.

LOL I needed a good laugh today.. You gotta grow the weed first, BEFORE you start selling it Scarface.
thanks for no usefull information

I grow once a year, first two plants, but now I'm upping it to four. I'm not a daily smoker. I vape the trim, make butter from leftovers for edibles in order to use up the whole plant and waste nothing. I do not sell and never will. Sometimes I barter with a friend. If a friend does something extra nice for me, I reward with a generous sample. I basically grow enough to cover my needs through the year. And that's it. I know people here grow as caregivers for friends and family, but a lot of them either donate or just charge enough to cover expenses. And I'm sure there are some people here who grow big ops for street sales. I just don't think I know any of them.
