you guys should read this article.

so bosque, since it costs under 30.00$ to produce an ounce, and if the company is only reimbursing board members on their expenses. Where is all the money going? why are the prices still so damn high?
Since you on are the "executive board" of directors, would you care to share?

And have you read the bylaws and articles of incorporation for both companies?

I have grown 8 years, I can easily grow a pound of dried cannabis after expenses(electricity,nutrients,etc..) for less than 300.00 a pound, Guaranteed
and the companies are charging close to 6,000.00 a pound.
Again I say, where is all the money going??

Deming, You should work for dateline, sounds like you ask the real hard hitting questions that inquiring minds want to know.:thumbsup:

Dear Deming and Blackhash,
Iâ??m really conflicted about you guys. On one hand you two sound like you would make the ultimate kick ass producer.
A pound for $300!! Oh my god PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

Why have you guys not applied for your producership?

I would like to be first in line to sign up as a patient and would volunteer to be on your board for free. Hell Iâ??ll even work 10 hours a week volunteering for free, just to help make this happen.

The conflicting part comes in when I read all your posts about how much better you can do and yet YOU DO NOTHING.

Come on guys!
What gives, donâ??t you think you are being (just a bit IMHO) a little selfish?
You can grow $300 a pound of high grade medical cannabis, and you are not growing for us poor folks here?!?!?!?


What do we need to do to make this happen???

[MimbresValley]

I harvest 3-4 ounces of dried plant material off one plant every 3 weeks, in a perpetual harvest, One plant is put in the flowering room, then three weeks later another plant, etc...
So over a 12 week period I have 4 harvests, when you total the 4 harvest I will have between12-16 ounces of dried plant material(which I smoke all of during that time:jointsmile. I never go over my plant numbers this way, never having more than 4 mature plants in the flower room.

And yes it is costing me less than 300.00$ to produce it.:thumbsup:

At first I thought Deming was under shooting but after doing the numbers for myself his numbers are correct, that is not taking into consideration securtiy, gas expense, etc.that the producers charge, I think the producers should def be able to do it for a 1,000.00$ a pound no problem, so 2.00$-3.00$ grams.

Me personally I just use one 600w HPS and a small seperate veg room with a couple cfl's

.7$ an hour for electricity to run my 600, 12 hours a day in the flower room
so .07x12x84 = 70.56$

.7$ an hour for electricity for the AC which runs 24 hours a day for 84 days. 141.12$

.1$ for my carbon filter/inline fan 24 hours a day, for 63 days, 7.56$

Not much more for the fans and nutrients.

So yeah 300.00$ sounds about right!:thumbsup:

If you read his posts more carefully,you will see that blackhash doesn't reside in NM.Can't speak on Deming's info.

[MimbresValley]

Does everyone understand how to figure out how much they are spending on electricity, do I need to give a better example?

[veryangry]

Not for me,you don't.

Deming, I keep reading this post and thinking BRAVO! Glad someone is saying what needs to be said!:jointsmile:

Not sure on this but I think deming is trying to get his app. approved. And as far as blackhash you right he is not in N.M. It also takes quite a bit of cash to start a nonprofit.And even if you did have the money it is not easy to start.DOH makes it very hard to get approved by them. Also I think that DOH wants to keep the price high.
