throatstick Reviewed by throatstick on 06-02-2010. The economics of MMJ? Like most newbie license holders I was initially ecstatic. Ya mean I can buy shit legally???? Suddenly, shopping became interesting, so many dispensaries, so many strains. Kids in candy stores seldom think about price but I'm a retiree on a small, fixed income so eventually I started noticing that $60 an eighth adds up real fast. Ecstasy switched to indignation. Why does this cost so much if it's legal? It's a weed, for decades we've been told how easy it is to grow. More importantly, no Rating: 5

your forgetting about down time there is gap in production to patient time. your legal fees , consultation,and biz plan way too low. 50-100lbs are you kidding?? at that rate you will need a much higher service bill. and as a pro you will need to accomadate pros and cons that are inherent with growing. losses are the same for indoor as for outdoor.

meded so you can mededicate to mededitate

He's also forgetting about nutes and (if he's growing in dirt) soil....big expense there unless you have lots of rotted manure laying around. Also there's the Serenade and/or other PM control remedies he may need for his outdoor grow if he doesn't want to just shitcan the plants if some of his strains start showing those wonderful little gray spots and the "organic" insecticides he will need for the rest of the winter the minute he sees the first mite damage in his indoor grow room....oh yeah.....20 x 1000W HID's with 12 of them running 12/12 and 8 of them running 18 x 6 is going to cost around $1100.00 per month......plus the occasional bulb replacement (these ain't cheap)...plus he's going to need a couple of extra ballasts and a few extra bulbs on hand at all times...just in case.

this was just the top.i veg all clones 1 month with training and thats it.from seed i might go 5 weeks depends tho.you can think or believe what ya want.i have no reason to lie...i could grow alot bigger than that and it would still be just as potent as those guys saying things like"i don't grow for yeild i would rather grow for stronger meds" what a crock......you still think im full of shit go look up doubled's grows or heathrobinsons grows.just because you have never seen it or cause you don't see these kindda grows on canna.com don't mean it is'nt so..

Both DoubleD & Heath are growing some monsters! But it's taken them trial & error, lots of learning experience and getting everything dialed in. Luckily for the rest of us, we can learn from their mistakes and get great yields. :thumbsup:

yup,,,so you know im not making shit up then.and yes they have alot of money tied up in what they are doing but it works.heck i pulled 30 oz's off 2 plants on my very first grow.it's all about how aware you are and if you have ever had a passion in your life then you know how knowledge thristy you can get.it's like you're brain becomes new again and you can't get enough.the whole he's got a green thumb is not true. it's more like this person took the time to gain the knowledge needed cause they want to be great at what they do.thats anything in life tho.most don't have that fire thats needed they just don't for whatever reason.

Thanks for the info-I will look it up--but I am assuming by your comment that says "doubled's grows" that you are using 2 clones per each which equates to two plants? I am talking about 1 plant. I know one dispensory--owner grower in another state that produces alot for their patients-and has been doing so for years. Even they state do not expect more than 4 0z. per plant--regardless of the plant. They use the most expensive soil-- nutrients (again the most expensive) and 1000 watt lights everywhere--heating--cooling systems--fresh filter air, CO2 etc. etc. 4 oz's max per plant.

Even the dispensory I use in Colorado can't seem to get more than 13 grams per plant from SSI. And he has been growing for years also. He is always behind the 8 ball because he runs out so fast--and there is so much demand from his patients for it.

To add to my comment--I am talking about professional growers that have had years and years of experience with indoor growing--that have tried everything in the book to get their yeilds per plant UP. To add--their veg time is a minimum of 6 weeks.

Yeah--whatever--LOL

throatstick - what method are you using? dwc?

Yea I did 4.5 pounds per plant last harvest. Oh shit I forgot I weighed the stems, the dirt, the container and so on. Well it sounded good. But I did have a dream one time awhile back were I did several pounds per plant indoors.

If you or your friends are growing and getting 3 pounds per-plant indoors then please do give all of us some growing advise. Hell, I will even settle for 12 plus oz per plant.
