How much does it cost you to prouce per ounce?

If you sell in any manner, legal or no, labor has to factor in there somewhere. So at $40/hr, over a 60 day period (if I do a 60 day strain) an oz costs me $128 and change in labor alone. Before I get blasted for being a financial rapist, I came up with that $40/hr figure as that is $20 less than I bill my time out at the shop. In this economy, it's a wage that will allow you to live decently. How many of you want to live in bare subsistence? So......to make a PROFIT, you at least double your costs (Many retailers triple costs), which will put the rock bottom price of an ounce of my bud at $280.


******If anything I count the time spent in the grow room as money saved....otherwise I'd be out in a bar or snowmobiling or riding my Harley, etc, etc....going in the grow room is better then going to the movies with the ole' lady IMO.

Sorry dude you don't get to bill out like you do in your shop. If you were paid the highest listed wage for a hydroponic master grower running a 2 Million sq ft green house in MI you would get 18.75 per hour. Gardening even for cannabis is not anything at all like tool room work. 40 bucks an hour is living large in any book. hell its a damn good living in Hawaii were the cost of living is 3 times higher than MI. Second problem with your greedy formula the average profit for the manufacture of a product in Mi is 28.3% Its greed like this which is why MI wants to crack down on all of us.

My hard costs for nutes, co2, electric cost about $25/oz......this doesn't include one minute of my time, doing all the hundreds of hours of harvest, dry, trim, manicure, cure, trimming and maintaining and general maintence of plants, washing and changing out hydroton, nor does this include one bit of time taking care of mothers, and doing my cloning. It takes over 50 hrs to just do the harvest.

It takes as much time per week as a a part time job with no question.....and what about the cost of the risk of dealing with LEO? Think all this out beore people judge one another for how they do this. Not everyone has a high tech system to maintain, so their costs and time are much lower, but their meds aren't even close in quality.

Anyone noticed how much equipment is for sale right now online......everyone and their brother thought it was a grand idea to just grow some meds, and soon figured out it actually takes a lot of money, time, and knowledge. Many are getting their in over their head, and are giving up. By by! Gee.....it's just a plant, how hard can it be LOL!!!!!!!!!
 
shooting for 31$ on this next grow. i'll figure out past grows in a minute a little muffed up at the moment. I've never figured this out before, I need to get those numbers way down!
 
Anyone that advertises on craigslist or budtrader better post is costs the $300 or $350 per that you are asking. lol
print that shit up and hold on to it.
