Hows that? Dude in LA most "Dispensaries" charge 60-75 a 8th
and here in IE most are 60 8th and 120+ 1/4th, I cap mine at 95 and I do 55 Caps for 8th, but I'm a thug? lol ok If you say so...
Eventually though I think I will drop to like 45 for Top shelf, but I grow so many different types that even with a Sequential Harvest I only have Oz's available at a time and I cure 30 days Min, plus the Fact I grow it all, and its Organic, and I spend idk 10hours+ a harvest Pruning and getting rid of anything not up to standards. (usually all nighter's with Red bull and the ipod )
These dispensaries buy it wholesale from growers who sometimes frankly don't give a flying and use Synthetics that are pretty much steroids and Just try to grow the biggest fastest they can. Tsshhh I found like 6 seeds in some Lemon Kush I bought when I was in Pasadena from a "Dispensary". I'm Not saying all growers are like that, some do care but honestly most Farmers(not small opers) dont...The dispensary buys by the lb's for like 1200 and jack it up to 60+ a 8th and like 370 - 400 oz that's like 6400 a freaken lb! so they make 5200 in profit... so idk how I'm a "thug" because I pay for the lights, tents, water, electricity, soils, pots, ect I use to grow with.
What U want me to do $30 a 8th and be broke? dude I have 60+ strains I grow and give away 8ths damn near everyday(if not everyday lol) to friends who cant afford med's, like my good friend who rides dirtbikes and messed up his back. Or my Dad who suffers from Knee and back pains, plus his feet swell so I bred and designed a strain exclusively for him. NO charge no nothing, well... guitar lessons lol from the dirtbiker :thumbsup:.. Not to mention I'm a college student bro not some millionaire who doesn't have to worry about anything I live harvest by harvest man, barely pay bills and still try to keep my bizz afloat. So Before you go bashing , try growing more than 20 plants and go to school, pay bills, take care of your diabetic father, kick down your friends , and of course indulge yourself. Then tell me how much you'd have to charge just to survive when all's said and done... Honestly I hope the day comes when I don't have to do this and people can grow their own. I'd like to start a seed Bank but Seed trade is illegal still so I just have to grow and supply people who cant or don't want to themselves.
I mean if you want to pay my Electricity and water, and Gas(for delivery) and soil and... everything hey by all means I will totaly charge 40 a 8th, hell Ill do 35 top shelf all day, and make em 4.3gs ^^
