damn thats a pretty big grow....looked like 100 lights on that one floor.....interesting how they were growing in those big tubs stacked onto milk crates...thats a weird one..

 

[TickleMyBalls]

I heard about this grow through the grapevine before it was busted. It was a serious operation. It was 3 floors 200+ lights.

 

[MIway]

well... 10,000,000 est street value... at 200 lights = 50,000 per light... if we go high street of 4per zip... that's 125zips... roughly 8bows per light... all day long, no prob. ;-)

 

[Yes4Prop215]

with a 100 lights pulling 2 lbs a light at 4k a pop you are pullin in 800k every harvest before expenses.......pretty sizable profit right there.

that grow was not pulling close to 2lb...looks like maybe 1lb a light tops....even if its beaster shit they pump out for 2500 a pop they are still clearing a quarter mil every harvest...



but yeah no where near 10 million...typical cop bullshit.

observations:
1) Andrea (reporter) is feelin good today because she just banged someone on the news team.
5) Counting, addition, and multiplication are difficult for somebody (10 mil???) to grasp

Well if you heard about it, no wonder the idiots got busted. Keeping your mouth shut is the #1 way NOT to get caught.

Never once was tha fact that Mich is a Med state brought up..HHmmm

 

[Oliver Pantsoff]

Hate to see that...All that hard work they put in>>

[Puffaluffagus]

Typical idiot fox news reporting

 

[Yah`mon]

If it was outta staters doing it illegally, then good. Puts those real mmmj growers in Detroit in a better position. Spending money locally!

(not saying I'm happy anyone got caught for growing, just rather have local people doing it)

The guy saying he never smelled marijuana coming from the building... my first thought is his own grow is making him immune.

That was a shitton of clone trays they showed, wonder where the other warehouse is.

Anyone read the comments at the bottom... good points from the people, why isn't the DPD going for crack/coke/heroin/Oxy dealers?

Yah`mon

lol... seems that quite a few michiganders use the term shitton - don't hear it too much from other areas.

And yeah, they got bigger fish to fry. But when you can go into the city and buy a house for a few grand, this is bound to happen. Did some work on an old apartment building near downtown. Place was vacant, fenced, boarded up and had a huge courtyard in the center. Would have made a killer grow location. Could have probably even pulled off a big outdoor in the middle of the hood.

seems like a good idea so you don't have to move your lights, just adjust the canopy at each plant.

Now I know who bought 250 radiant 8's and 300 hortilux bulbs from me...
maybe they'll reorder!

 

[TickleMyBalls]

Was talking to some people that know the crew that ran this one. They have been running commercial spots in the d for a while. Ive smoked many batches of their herb and moved a bunch. Never great quality, but they obviously stepped it up when medical hit here even though it's still an illegal grow.

 

[toohighmf]

I wouldn't consort with those known associates for a minute... no one needs heat. no one is impervious to the LAW. I find it best keep as anonymous as possible regardless. not lecturing you TMB, just pointing it out to others that may not have the common sense, or experience.

 

[InnocenTurd]

It's funny how the more "commercial" a grow op becomes the more ghetto it gets. Fucking milk crates.

watch the video around 2:30 the black guy news anchor says "thats a lot of pot!" and you can hear someone in the background of the studio burst out in laughter....

im guessing these guys weren't paying any attention to michigans marijuana laws? what is the deal with all of that anways isn't michigan legal? i dont know too much about michigan...
