and that means they pay much less. i am having to sell my legally grown, with a green card, stuff for only $150 an ounce. this is fucking bullshit. i can barely pay my fucking light bill on that! what about you guys? last year i had friends who were asking $180 for outdoor grown crap weed. they couldn't give it away then. there must be so many people growing it now. it totally is not even worth my while to make money. maybe that is the point of the green card, to just grow for yourself, but that is about all it is worth when it is so cheap. i actually would be better off just buying it for $200/oz and save myself the pain in the ass from the spider mites et al. btw, they were selling for $200/z before the law got passed. can't wait to see how low it goes after the new laws take effect. $10 baggies full like the 70's again, except primo bud instead of mexi crap. i'm hatin life!

when it goes "legal" and they tax the hell out of it the prices will go up at the washington state controlled stores. all other stores will be shut down. sounds good?

but i did some math the other day and figured out it cost me 120$ for each pound i grew outdoor this year. the biggest expense being the trimming of it. looks like ill be in the game for some time still.

good luck fella......

2400/lb and you can't make money? Time to take a look at your growing methods. you need to figure you production cost per gram, and find ways to reduce it. Indoor production casts for me are <$1.00/ gram, this includes power, nutes, equipment depreciation, grow space construction based on a 4 year cycle, and labor @ $35/hr.

Adapt or die. Now is the time to get ahead and get cost under control.

hmmm..... good point.

if i paid myself 30$ per hour:

20 minutes to ammend the hole at the start of each year

5 minutes to plant

1 minute to put up metal fencing (support for plant in future)

10 minutes to wrap plant with horti-nova netting (around august)

5 minutes to chop plant and hang

10 minutes clean up netting, root ball etc

so realistically maybe an hour more per plant. now this year i averaged over 5 lbs per plant.

take into account that all my soil, drip irrigation, t posts etc have been paid for from previous years. start up costs are the killer in my opinion. so maybe id add an extra 10$ to the cost of each pound. i can sustain this except eventually i will grow old and not be able to do as much work and will have to hire in some help. i was able to keep up with 60 plants this year, no out side help except to trim. remember this is outdoor, indoor would cost much more.......

You want more than 150 a oz for "medicine" with spidermites? Not worth your wild to make money? If you can't make money off 2400 a pound you should only be made at yourself....

Compassionate care my ass.

Haha........

Many places in California have an oz for sale around $69 more or less. And killer ounces for $150. an ounce. Pounds can be found for $300=450. and whatever you'd like to pay. That was before the election. Odd, how election seems to coincide with Harvest season. jpt
