I bet throughout the whole grow your probably paying 200$ just for the electricity.

Im going to calculate the costs and assume that you use a 1000 watt light

2 X 10 gallon pots = 15 $
4 bags of qaulity potting soil = 50 $
1000 watt lightand bulb = 250$
3 part nutrients(advanced) = 60 $
bud candy = 20 $
Electricity costs(4 monthes) =100 $
your time(8 $ per hour, 1 hour a week) =128 $
(personally i like to value myself at 30 $ per hour)


if you really think about it, growing good pot costs a little more than you think. Me and my growers have about 3500 invested in a 2600 watt growroom where we harvest around 6-7 pounds every 3 monthes. If you also consider that we pay people 20$ an hour to trim (usually around 15 hours total) . i could pay them less but theyre a sollid trustworhty crew. Thats the reason why i charge 250 an ounce, because if i charge less i feel like im getting robbed.
Wow so you split $903 between 3 or more people to get 6 -7 pounds? Do you really feel ripped off if you don't get $250 an ounce? WOW, seems you are paying around $9.85 an ounce to grow....Just using your numbers....That is pretty good markup in any book!!!
