Oklahoma Med Grow Job question.

Lol one dispensary for every 1000 people.

You gotta be somewhere near a border of a non recreational state or something.

I just know about ten years ago a buddy was selling to dispensaries for around 2200 a pound and within like two years the going rate was 700. That’s when the little guys either quit, get absorbed by a big operation or have to crew up together.


I think a big issue also is that the average quality of bud has gotten so high that given the opportunity to pay 50 an ounce for “low grade” they’ll be all over it. It’s not like it’s brick weed, it’s still probably better than stuff off the street that was 250 an ounce in 2005.

Lately I’ve been noticing more and more people who aren’t into purely bud with brutal thc percentage. I actually quit smoking a couple years after the la medical boom because I was suddenly getting really bad anxiety and paranoia. Didn’t even realize it was from the high thc low everything else stuff people were focusing on.

As people learn more about mixing cannabinoids and terpenes I think there’ll be a much bigger market for the craft grow stuff. It’ll be such a wide range that there should be plenty of room for specialist type breeders.
And that's exactly what we do... we only do one grow at a time so we can focus on that grow. In 2019, we were getting $3000-$3300 a lb, and as more and more growers came on, it has become a race to the bottom. I couldn't get this one guys attention at $850 (I wasn't going to sell it), but I just thought Id see if he'd jump. But he didn't. We have better luck selling to small mom and pop shops in smaller towns. We can still get $1600 with them on our ~20% THC and 3-5% terps, and down to $1100 on some of our 11%THC/ 3.5% terps. ... Labs are a whole other problem with inconsistent results across the board, but I guess we'll see how far this rabbit hole goes in the next few months.

..... and yeah... 1000 people per Dispo.. and only like 30% of those are card holders. And no, we're not near the border of TX... maybe an hour drive.

One I wouldn’t hire you just because of the master grower thing. You tell me your a master I’ll tell you to get fucked just the honest truth. Second how long have you been growing. What technology have you used? for example trolmaster, titan, anden, quest as a head grower you’ll be responsible for upgrades and keeping gear functional As well as day to day shit. how many mediums have you grown in? How many different lines of nutrients have you used. Avg pay for a head grower in the south is generally based on the amount of rooms in your care and the total scope of your experience. pay is generally salary as well and should include some sort of profit sharing on the bud pulled from the rooms. Have any shots of the grows rooms you’ve personally attended to and managed? Not one where you were sent in to defoliate and what not. But one where you were in charge of the day to day shit in the rooms.
Hi, thanks for your concerns, they are very concerning for you. Luckily, it wasnt you i sent a very detailed resume email too. Of my first grow where i was clueless back in 09, of my later grows where i learned, of my main successfull grow and a grow I set up with my gear, genetics, and plans. Im going out there to be a Grow Master, as a job title. Im not telling you im a Master Grower. Im not telling him that. I sent him my story with every pic i could find of my work. I talked with him in person, i worked on his building back around thanksgiving. Honestly i dont give 2 dogs balls if you really care about my skills. Go rain on someone elses parade and eat the dicks that dick-salesman sells at the parade you find. He Knows im a soil grower, i know hes running Hydro so i have to learn. how many nuts? fuck man enough? how many do you need? HE has the plan, im going to run HIS plan. and learn HIS plan. My old shit is, well OLD shit. Hes betting on my Skills, that he has seen, and the fact that im down with him to run for quality. I ran my rooms bud, ME and only me besides family helping me trim and my Mechanic helping with the actual setup (lights, vents, filters). Go eat those dicks you rainy fuck. Jesus, this guy...

Sounds like you'd be doing the same amount of physical work. Im just putting this out there tho.... OK is super saturated. We see grows shutting down all the time due to the unlimited cap of Growers, Dispos, Processors,... its the Wild West out here. Prices are tough, and getting tougher. Don't want to rain on your dreams, but it's entirely possible that you could come here and work for 6 months, or a year, only to find your grow folding. ... Think long and hard about a plan B.
If i go out and things fail, i do have other options. I have a lead on the windmill jobs out there now, it pays way better, but moves around. And again back turning wrenches and working on machines that i dont have a passion for. Also, if things go bad there, My house in SC is paid for and my current job would hire me back so quick, I havent even told them yet. I could come right back and fall right back into step. I know the other grow he set up, that his ex old lady runs now, is still running. I still havent talked to this man lately, I have been changing my moms convertible top on her Eclipse and its a fucking nightmare.

That’s a plan B!.. best of luck to you!

Just putting things in perspective man. I'm happy you found a guy that will let you run his grow and rock his formula. Hopefully it's been a successful formula for him thus far. I run all my rooms myself I've hired folks to help harvest an de bud plants. How much input though to you have in the grow is everything setup for success on your part. I'm a soil grower as well but I've ran everything type.of system out there minus aquaponics just because I don't want to deal with fish unless I'm eating them. I asked about nutrients because if you haven't ran his formula before one some of these guys get way out of control on the line up when it's unnecessary. Quality bud comes from simply and effective feeding and proper room design. Just make you in it to win it man. I like competition here in the state it helps up everyone's game. do you have any input on genetics ran or anything or are you going to be a lemming and follow someone off a cliff? I'll get to eating that bag of dicks im sure @bk78 has some to chew on.

1600 an 1100 a pound wouldt be worth growing
I hear ya man... we pump out about 90 lbs a year, and it's getting to be "just a living"... No debt, or investors, and we're financially secure. But, I think if we just hang in there for another year or 2, things will swing back the other direction. Who knows. I really only work about 2 hours a day during a run, except during harvest.. and Im ok with that. Anything below $1000, and im prob gonna bounce out.

Yea thats crazy man.
Outdoor in Tasmania is 200 and indoor 250.
From now till march it gets really dry so can prolly get 250 outdoor an 300 indoor.
But it's illegal to.

Aussie government to greedy will never get to do what you guys to they only just starting medical now.
Only be big pharmaceutical company's that get to grow it.
