The stuff I get goes to dispensers. If it gets legalized in CA, I bet it will still be cheaper for me to buy black market than go through the state and get taxed.
Right now, what I do not provide to my patients goes to dispensaries.
The current rate is $4000 per pound. I think that when one of the strains I have going comes to yield, I'm going to ask $4500. It's rare, really strong and the buds are tight, sticky and full of resin. All they can say is no, right?
How much does a setup like that run? Is it hard to get a distribution channel setup for your weed? Do you try and remove your personal life from all that weed growing? Seems like you could never show someone what you do.
600-watt air-cooled lights are about $400 each. CAN-100 filter/fans are $800.
Light air-circ fans are about $100 each.
A 600-watt light will cover about a 4x4' area. Add additional lights as needed and don't try to skimp.
Your final yield is directly affected by the lumens you are providing to your plants.
My friends all know I grow. I'll talk growing to anybody that's interested. But there are only 3 people who know where I live, one of which lives out of state.
My neighbors all think I'm going to school and that's why I don't go to work every day.
They do look the same. I started over 100 plants this year. I gave quite a few away.
Do you have a light setup and a fan? I use a combo, but just use a large shop light. Not enough power to emulate the sun.
I have more than one room. Each one has multiple 600-watt HPS air-cooled lights with 400 CFM exhaust fans per two lights.
I also have CAN-100 filters/fans in each room, exhausting to the outdoors.
I've got some environmental control switches on the wish list for after my next harvest. They turn on exhaust fans, heaters/ac units, humidifiers, etc on as per pre-determined settings. If my room gets too humid, the exhaust fan comes on. If it gets too warm, the a/c comes on.
I'm pretty good at starting tomatoes from seed and even taking cuttings for clones as the season wears on. I imagine growing pot would be just like it. I start all my seeds indoors in Jan. They have all been planted now.
Vermiculite is part of my soil mix, yes.
Tomatoes and marijuana are very similar in regards to growth cycle and nutrients needed.
Faggot how long do you think you can keep growing before the government only lets certain people grow? Like major corporations? It seems they are trying to pass laws in california now trying to limit the amount of medical marijuana shops. 70 I think in la county. Right now there about 250.
I'm in Denver these days, not CA.
That said, I'm hoping to have another 2-3 years of regulation-free growing before the big corporations take over.
I'm still hoping to be able to eek out a boutique biz here, but that remains to be seen.
Clones go for $8-$10 here--less if your buying quantity. I've sold almost $10k worth over the past year. If you have any kind background, right about now you'll be getting multiple orders of 200+ for larger grow-ops.
I don't go that big. Right now I've got the most clones I've ever had.
Good to see you, BTW. Ever have any luck with CFLs?
