300.00$ pounds of cannabis indoors.

[MimbresValley]

Some of you think Im smudging the numbers that it only costs 300.00$ to produce a pound of cannabis(nutrients, water, electricity)

I promise I can easily produce a pound of cannabis for 300.00$
And So can Jorge Cervantes,

If any of you are interested, check out page 157-163 in Jorge Cervantes Indoor marijuana grow bible, where Jorge himself shows its possible to produce a pound of cannabis indoors for less than 100.00$.

I have scanned a couple pages so all you Doubters/Greedy Producers can see for yourself.

Maybe I should forward along a copy of the book to the DOH, ask them why it costs so little to produce, but is being sold for so much.

I believe you.. outdoors you can grow a pound for like 50 bucks tops. Even growers selling at 2500 are taxing something serious. I dont blame them because of all the risk that goes in to growing but one day I plan on getting the prices back down to like 1500-2000 of some top quality

I had some joker arguing that it couldn't be done, had to shut him up.
lol

Back down ????? When in the last 20 years has reefer EVER been $1500- 2000 a pound for medical grade ?? If it is so easy then DO IT ! Talk is easy, results are harder. You shall see ....

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). 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.

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 84 days, 10.08$

Not much more for the fans and nutrients.

So yeah 300.00$ sounds about right!

I originally spelled it out for someone else, but since folks are to slow to realize cannabis costs so much because its a black market item.

I showed the numbers, I have expert growers who support my numbers, what do you have sir? Just an opinion, with no facts or no effort to show otherwise.

lets see your break down of the numbers if I am so far off.

[waterdog]

Dude , I am an outdoor grower... If I ONLY got 3-4 ounces a time .... I wouldn't waste MY time.. Break down of the numbers ??? Ha Ha ha ....They are only numbers ! Reality is much different ...

[weeddaddy50]

when I read the complete book.

That case study is in europe and the electricy rates must be cheeper.

Here is Cali....they have what is called base line....rates 11 cents a kilo watt..which is reasonable....the problem is when you go over a very low base line your first just is 100% to 130% of base line the cost is 21 cents a watt, then 130% to 200% is 30 cents and 200% to 300% is 40 cents a watt...

If you grow with 7 1000 watt HPS (1 MH light for veg on 24 hrs) (6 HPS on 12 / 12) You will be at the 40 cents a watt rate....and that means you are paying 4 times the normal rate for power from PG&E in Cali....Additionally...that study did not take into consideration the number of plants that you are allowed in the 13 Medical Marijuana states...most are 6 flowering plants....so if you had 9 of your close friends + your self...you could grow 60 plants and be legal.....60 plants is still well short of what you need for the SEA OF GREEN to work those numbers in the case study. Hence...you are correct....it can be done....but it would be illegal to grow it in all 13 mjm states without about the proper paperwork....most people do not have 22 friends that you need the recommendations for so you can do a proper SEA OF Green of 200 plants.

Mimbres....

You are just way off on your numbers....well I guess if....you wanted to grow one plant with flors....for a few grams....you would be right...

I believe your post....is like a....Zinger....lets see....who we can irriate...and maybe they will post....or you believe the collectives are charging to much...which growers have no control over....

I believe your experience level is novice...and you really...do not understand...the time it takes to even start a sea of green or a major indoor grow.....I will tell you what.....on your next grow....start a grow log on this site...document all of your costs....take pictures...of your plants from start...document you time spent...you have to put a cost towards your time...do it for 1 grow....I will follow it and compute your costs...then you will know the true costs of your medicine.

I am a legal grower, I can not harvest more than 6 ounces legally in the state I am currently living in. I have lived in other medical states, I have grown 2lb plants indoors numerous times.

Living in NM I have a perpetual harvest, this allows me to harvest every three weeks, and still be within my legal limit.

You laugh when I saw break down the numbers, saying you are an
"outdoor grower dude", I am guessing you are laughing because you do not actually know how to break down the numbers for yourself.

so If you are an "outdoor" grower, I am guessing you must be an expert indoor grower as well since you can comment on how much it costs to actually grow indoors.
And as an outdoor grower how many harvests do you have a year? 1 maybe 2?
I have 17 harvests a year.


also how much does it cost to grow your cannabis outdoors?
Numbers are important Numbers are Reality, they let you know how efficient your grow is, lets you know where you are improving, how much you are harvesting, etc....
If you don't know your own numbers, how can you tell others what is possible, have you ever even grown indoors "dude"
LMAO
