It's not "legal" if you can only grow 3-6 plants and have no more than a few zips at a time.
We can have 24 flowering, and 24 vegging (as a household). It's plenty. Hell, I grew out a mother for a long veg/flower, and got just shy of 2.5lbs out of her. Got 4 more in the tent flowering... we'll be good for a while. Im gonna stop growing for a few months till we start getting low.

I’m not talking shit. Not trying too at least.
But you prob couldn’t even get rid of that for 600 here. And this is time of the year is traditionally towards the end of the drought here in Ca. Outdoor hasn’t hit hard yet. But all that is even fucked now.
I hear you. I have a broker beatin' the streets right now trying move my 36lbs I have in inventory. This plant that made 2.47 was an experiment, and for our own personal use. ... but, yeah... it's tough out there man.

Keep in mind, i’ve been doing this shit for 30yrs here. I’m about to quit. Our power cost here is fucking nuts. Really eats away at profit and mofos are offing indoor fire for 1K! Its all because the legal ops are dumping their stuff on our traditional market now and more states going legal at the same time.
I can grow a lb for 200-300, can cost ALLOT more for most, but after people get paid i aint making shit anymore. It aint fun when your nuts aren’t on the line AND you aint making shit

This is why after owning a grow op for the past four years, and Im shutting it down. The market is super saturated. We used to get $3000 lbs back in 2019, and it has slowly withered away into the 3 digit numbers... some are panic selling and dumping it for $100 a lb for indoor. Craziest shit I've ever seen.

Right?
If everyone only knew how much surplus outdoor tradional market people are still sitting on from last year they wouldn’t have grown this years crop. I feel sorry for them. I seen it coming and said nope.
Lots of indoor vac sealed and frozen too. This is not gonna get better

Nope... it's just going to get worse. I sold my license already, just trying to move equipment right now, like trimmers, roller benches, lights, dehuyes, etc. Im over it. I'll just grow our own under a patient license.

That's the goal of the big ops. To 1% margin your ass out of the game. If you're lucky they'll "ask" you to grow for their "craft" line and give you a kick back because they know you can't sustain otherwise. Many of the big ops are government or pharma funded so they have the funds to lose a lot longer than us.

Thing is, at least here in Ca, prop 64 gave counties the option to say no. No to legal grows an/or no to dispensaries. Even if people like me wanted to go legit we cant.
Fat cats get fatter! :-( So many huge permits givin out, so much bud being grown legally they have to back door their stuff onto the traditional market which fucks so many people its crazy.

I've seen that michigan is flooding the market with pounds as low as $300 and $600 being an average.
Its not the worst weed, the same dense stuff that smells like its been cured in a barn ( that musty smell) but appearance is just like everything else that those hard quarter sized buds. Which the consumers in the black market don't give two shits about, you could have a bud that glows blue with magical powers and they would still take the lower priced stuff.

There so much surplus and so much big money behind what some people claim is an effort to wipe out everyone and then control the market.
What im curious about is those people with the big money, they have investors, and investors want to see profit and i just dont see how they are seeing it ? Any economy smart folks able to break down how this crash is gonna go, and where it will end up ?

I see all you guys, talking about it takes x amount of money to run per lb and i just dont see those numbers at all unless you factor in the cost of living and your counting all your bills rent food entertainment and everything. My guess is someone who is renting and supporting themselves/family bills groceries all that just growing alone would just scratch by at about $5k a month? ( <- rent and electric bill) So if perpetual weekly tables, and say its LED and your grabbing 1.5 lbs per table on a 8-9 week at $50 an ounce, it would be pushing it to stay at that number.
But 8 hour trim day every week and 2 hours a day working in garden, thats 88 hours a month / 5,000 = its still 56 dollars an hour if you look at it like a job. Not gonna get that at a 40+ hour a week job.

I can go to local dispensaries here in Oklahoma and find it between $540-$720 an lb. You can't buy an lb because of law restrictions but you can buy ozs. The $540 stuff is shit in my opinion. The $720 stuff is decent stuff. I have friends that have brought it over and it had decent flavor and was semi smooth. Did have a better than average high but did not have any real kick to it. But people are flocking to buy the $540 shit. I don't get it. I would rather have quality over quantity. But most people would rather smoke shwag and save a couple of bucks then spend a little more and have an enjoyable smoking experience.

Dude.. I think I got you confused in another thread, so pardon me for that. But yeah... it's become quite the shit show of legal Cannabis.
