Now 1000 per month for electricity, again if your looking to produce large quantites of cannabis your electric bill will not be this low.

I dont know of any trimmers who will work for 1000 per month, unless they are working very slowly or very few hours. The going rate is usually 200 per pound and it usually takes them a day or two to trim a pound. So if you can do 3lbs in a week your looking at a salary to 2400 per month, per trimmer.

Now yields... you say 48 plants mature to get 50 lbs. Your looking at a long time in veg and having to use a commercially viable high yielding strain to achieve these numbers, and this is using up every inch of the warehouse youve indicated. If your vegging plants for that long your going to need a pretty large sized vegitation room. Now you say "high quality top notch" cannabis. Well most people do not tend to designate high yielding commercial strains as quality, many of the potent resinous strains that patients tend to benefit from are usually low yielding thus making it an even harder job to produce the quantities you speak of....

I think some people tend to look to much at the quick numbers without really acknowledging all the over head and time spent. Theres alot of money that goes in, but there is sure a heck of alot of money that gets spent...

I emplore anyone who believes that there is such easy money in this industry to test their luck. Most find out that the money is not quite as easy as they expected. Think about it, if there were such huge profits to be made, the growers who have been growing for 40+ years would have retired 20 years ago...:thumbsup:
thats pretty much what iv'e been saying me not thinks many people really know what there talking about most of it is bs street talk thinking they know something.hell just a 1ksqft building would produce a 1k a month electric bill by it's then to hook up enough light to pull 50 lbs lmao yea ok.lets try 4 to 6k a month for that kindda light. it's funny to hear people think...
