Guy Bragging on 9news about growing gets busted by DEA!!!

If he was harvesting every 4 months and had been doing it for 1.5yrs - thats at least 3 harvests. And he had 224 plants. Let's say he only gets 4oz per plant. Thats 56lbs every 4 months.

$3000 per pound
56 ponds

Carry the 1
Cross the Tee's and dot the I's

$168,000 every 4 months
Minus $8000 for electricity

Thats about $160,000 every 4 months or so.

Well if he has 224 plants, you can be assured that at least 80 of em were clones or vegging. Then another 15-20 plants in mother. Im guessing he was flowering maybe 90-130 out of that 224. So he was probably making some good money, but no where near the amount they are trying to make it out to be.....

Not to mention your forgetting money spent on nutrients, supplements, soil or hydro medium, cloning gel, grow plugs or rockwool, lights, fans, meters, trimming scissors, bags, dehumidifiers, humidifers, blowers, and all the other small things (chains, zipties, stakes, etc etc...).

So in the BIG picture sure it looks like hes a millionare. But first hand knowledge and experience can easily dismiss those claims....

If you guys believe anything the President says, you are an idiot. The president is a professional liar. It is his job to lie to the American Public. There will be more busts in Colorado. The fight is not over, it has just begun.

He is a lying ass sob. You guys up there be thankful that you don't have the damn border patrol to dodge too. The pillars are backstage in hollywood and the honeymoon is over!phUCK NOBAMA

agreed but you can't tell that to the know it all's of the boards...

palerider is steering you in the right direction (way to go, buddy!).....

something i discovered that nearly doubled my yield was increasing my air exchange. when i have the coin, i'm going to break into the world of co2 dispersion. i hear that's where it's at........

otherwise, genes is genes......

yes genes are genes,but alot of what a plant does is dependant on the growing enviroment.out in nature it will only be so good without humans touch.you take that same strain"genes" into a controlled enviroment and give it the optimum conditions and you will maximize the plants growth.

as one of the biggest misconceptions as stated above and quote"Quantity will always be secondary to quality for me" as if you only can have 1 or the other. you can very much have both without compromise.

but then again what do i know you're the brains of this board so you know im just making all of this up.i mean how could i really know anything being that writing is'nt my forte....:jointsmile:

btw just to let people know most of what people get out there is a plant anywhere from mexi dirt 25% maybe of the plants potential and on up from there dependant on how it's grown. i know this for a fact as i had a friend that was getting mexi b4 and was trying to tell me the same bs about genes are genes. which they are but most are not grown right.i took some seed off of those and grew that same junk out and it was top primo meds so go fig.

ps bottom line is people that say it's a weed how hard can it be?well yea it is and if you took a handful of seed and just chunked them out in a feild you will see just how hard it really is for even just a few to sprout up. the ones that do take are not growing to it's full potential and most of those don't make it.as such are trees i have said this b4 too just think of how many seeds are dropped from say a pine tree.the germ rate is so low i'd say maybe 10% if that.so it's not as easy as people think in the wild.

Are you being sarcastic? Ive had three beat cops walk past me and friends smoking bubble hash out of a 3 foot custom roor and didn't even get so much as a second glance...

..and hempfest that takes place every year. I attended in 09 and it was a record attendance of some 400,000 people and weed being smoked and sold everywhere in sight.

I love washington, it is really a beautiful state and I like to make it up there at least for a week or two to camp and attend hempfest. I think its something everyone should do at least once.
