I consider my time to be worth $500.00 per day, minimum. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but just the dirt in one of my 32 gallon pots costs about $60.00. Add to this organic fertilizers, pesticides/fungicides, PH up/down treatments, utility costs for HID lighting, propane or natural gas heat of a greenhouse, electric costs and infrastructure costs for a professional greenhouse structure.......ie....fans, dehumidifiers, automated venting, C02 emitters, timers and most of all the time it takes a grower to meticulously inspect, care for, feed and finally cut manicure and properly cure each plant so that it yields extremely high medical grade product with no residues and I'd say that the combination of all of these expenses .....especially when you calculate into the equation a grower's time, might work out to a bit more than $400.00.
these guys that think like that 400$ guys they are setup in a closet with a couple of cfl's pulling about 2 or 3 oz's every 2 months.+ they think high times is a growers bible lmao.
