Dispensaries already lowballing growers

[khyberkitsune]

My personal time is where the majority of the costs are incurred. I look at it as a part-time job, not just a hobby. My regular full-time job pays me a hourly wage and I use that hourly wage to calculate my labor costs, since I could choose to work more at my full-time job instead. Fertilizer, electricity, water, equipment and real property overhead are just the start of costs incurred. But you're right a hobbist should only be spending approximately what you posted.

Ah, but I'm not a hobbyist. Labor, etc included, I spend practically nil time on my systems. No automated stuff, just well-set systems that pretty much run themselves. The only times I need to pay attention are during my weekly res changes (some plants drink so slowly and eat so little that I go two weeks for those) where I check my airstones and then refill with nutes. Twenty minutes tops for 12 plants in varying stages.

But I do see what you mean by labor costs. Doing DWC means heavy lugging!

Dispensaries already lowballing growers I was asked by a dispensary that wants to team up with my grow operation if I would accept $140 and oz.!! He tried to convince me that the larger groups in this vertical structure will drive prices down real low. Any other growers getting this kind of lowball offer for meds??? Rating: 5
