Dispensaries way over priced

I also never said if you get less than 1.0 gram a watt you are a bad grower, I can not break .6grams in soil/soiless mix/hempy buckets/ chow mix/ straight coco.
But give me a recirculating dwc, or a LP aeroponic setup and ill smash 1.0grams per watt, its all in how a person grows, there are many ways to skin a cat, and grow a plant.
Some ways are just more efficient when it comes to costs, but I wouldn't say hydroponics is better than soil, just more efficient. Sorry if rubbed you the wrong way, best wishes.:hippy:
Now if you are growing specifically for patients, then I think efficient growing techniques are more important, because the cost of production is passed onto the patients.
So anything that can increase production, while lowering costs would be good for the grower to implement, not only to pass the savings onto the patients, but also to make more money yourself.

Things like running a recirculating system as opposed to DTW.
Using waterculture as opposed to a simple wick system, or an even less productive media like soil.

I can honestly tell you that it doesnt cost alot to produce 6 lbs of weed every 2 months with 16 plants using a soil less medium

1 time cost for 2 -1000 MH $450 & 16 potters $60

Using my strain of 10 yrs clones cost $0

Cost of sunshine # 4 $100 (3 bails)
Cost of electricity for 4 months $500 ($125 a month)
Water and fert $100

$700 cost for 6 lbs or 2688 gs thats a cost of only $3.84 a gram

Thats over a 1 g per watt too:hippy:

Medical MJ patients should not be paying that kind of money for medication.
The Greenthumb Collective will not charge it's members that kind of money for meds. It's not about making big profits. It's about medical patients getting ther meds or their plants,at prices they can live with. Please visit Home

Thats the Growers fault not the strain. I have 100% Mexican Landrace , its a Sativa and its pretty beasty I have to send it off for test results but Let me tell you THEY mess the herb up! The strain its self is actually really beautiful, nice thick long white "Hairs", pretty short Nodes with a lot of bud on it... grows about 5-6 feet tall under max conditions, smells like gas and mmmm pine/wood with a hint of earth. Nice Sativa high, not like the higher end Indoor strains so I'm guessing like 13-15% THC.Its not bad at all just by time it gets here its thrashed....Figure its 15% to start with ok now there were a few males in the crop(they don't weed males out they don't give a f^&*) seeding drops the THC to 12%. Now the curing is FAST and barely done, poorly stored, compressed, not dried correctly drops it to the 5-7% we normally get here as "shiv,stress,dirtweed,grass,boo boo, bunk, shit(not to be mistaken for le "Shit" which is an actual good strain lol) shwag,shwack,bush, or "That garbage ass weed" as people refer to it as here in SoCal.
I wish Cali would let us sell/trade seeds "legally" this cloning thing is not such a hot idea. After a while people are going to end up getting these 1-3 leave short little bastards that are like gen 6 er 7 with 1/2 the potency the F1 or F2's had....
Just my 4 cents lol
One love...
:rastasmoke:

Get real dudes...it's the "non profits" that are making millions and millions of dollars..not to mention the gov.....
God bless the farmers..
I pay a fortune for medicine. 55 an 1/8 plus TAX!!
Non profit my but!

I am so weary of spending $55.00 an 1/8th for top shelf and not getting high! I look at the weed, nice and sticky, smells wonderful....They say it's the bomb....I get home, light up, and I cough, cough, and cough,...plus the shit tastes like incense or chemicals...AND I DON"T GET MEDICATED!!!

Please help? What is up..This is happening way too often....:(

I think it's one of two things:

1) You have built up a tollerance to THC. It happens. It's like drinking alcohol. The first time you drank a beer - you were probably drunk off yer ass. Does it take a little more now? Sure it does. Any drug (well, just about) can be that way. Caffeine, nicotine, heroine, vallium, and yes, THC. Which leads me to the next question ... do you smoke a lot? Why? To get high? Do you NEED it to get thru the day? Now, I have a suggestion: IF you are ONLY smoking it to get high - stop for a week. Find another way to get yer buzz on - try donating time at a homeless shelter, or bunjie jumping ... If you CAN'T stop for a week - you are an addict.

2) Your "top shelf" stuff is indoor grown, right? Grown in chemicals, sprayed with chemicals and lit up with thousands of watts of electricity. Try some good quality outdoor stuff that's been fertilized with cow chit and bathed in The Sun. There IS a difference. One is healthier than the other - you figure out which is best for you.

I suspect it is number one however. I am addicted to tobacco (though I quit over 20 years ago I could go back to it in a heartbeat) - I still am addicted to coffee. Yes, I REALLY NEED coffee. The world is in danger if I don't get my coffee. If you feel that way about marijuana, you need help - or at LEAST you need to admit what the problem is.

That's MY $0.02
