Ok, well here's where my mathematical idea comes into play

1.) Let's say total street value is $2,000,000

2.) And let's say that they were planning on selling individual grams at $30 / gram (assuming it was going to be dank)

3.) Here we go

â?¢ $2,000,000 / 200 plants = 10,000 $/plant

â?¢ (30/gram) X (28.35 grams/oz.) = $850.50 / oz.
***(There are 28.35 grams / oz.)***

â?¢ ($10,000 / 1 plant) / ($850.50 / oz.) = approx. 11.76 or roughly 12 oz. / plant

Thusly in order for this crop to be worth $2,000,000 AT THE LEAST...Each plant would have to produce approximately 3/4 of a pound EACH

I don't know about that one...and on the news they make it seem like total street value is higher than merely $2,000,000

wow ive been growing the wrong kind of weed dam back to square one i guess

[SunnyD]

Ha, those calculations were meant to show that the media and DEA's reports on street worth of that farm was WAY off that's all.

The only people who sell $30/gram are greedy bastards really...All though there are apparently a lot of people who are plagued with those prices here...

As for the crazy dollar amounts being quoted, there have been more than a few big grow set-ups busted around here in the last year and it seems to be the norm for to say the least, over exaggerating the value of crops, one example a bust a few miles away from here was put at X amount of plants worth 1 million pounds we calculated it at around a third of that but it makes for much better news coverage and sensationalism. It gives the anti weed establishment something to bang on about for months.

Haven't been around in a while, but I saw this and thought it must be shared.

Anyone who grew up in the suburbs knows that the mall parking lot is the perfect place to meet your dealer and pick up a dime bag (maybe we're revealing too much). But you never think that the weed may actually be coming from the mall.

Things are a bit different in Miami, though, now that cops have discovered a hydroponic marijuana nursery hidden in a Mall of the Americas' storeroom. By tapping into the building's power supply, growers were able to hook up enough grow lights to cultivate over 200 budding plants. Authorities say the crude wiring could have caused a fire, but they haven't made any arrests and aren't revealing how they discovered the doobage.

"That's bad. I don't want my kids around that. Bro, that's a first," said eloquent shopper Fonsy Martinez. We're with you, Fonz.

While police are presumably investigating mall employees and maintenance workers, we've got our eye on the owner of the food court Chick-fil-A. He clearly reaps the benefits when there's a mall-wide outbreak of the munchies.
