your going to stay in college, if you had good grades and your girlfriend is paying for you to go there then droppoing out will not happen, it is a privilege.


making a living from guerilla growing in america is not going to be easy unless your trailer trash, go read these two threads, 1 2, notice those prices dives? , what state are you in, how long until your hit with out of state bud or other folks growing?

Say you do drop out, do commerical growing wtf happens when AAA ounces are under $100 how many years do you think you have untill then?


compromise = stay in college, use the money from this years outdoor to rent a place and do an indoor grow.

I didn't say my girlfriend was paying for college, I said she helped me out with this years grow..driving..ect to pay for tuition.. but since marijuana laws are gradually getting better shouldn't we make as much as we can before it does go all legal? just saying. i'd rather have a nice 250k buried in ammo boxes somewhere while I can get it. apologize if I sound nieve about this, but I really can see how it could happen..... this season x2000% the work? I think it could be done....

I don't feel as safe doing indoor grows :/ also not experienced at all with indoor protocol

Dude....I was you thirty plus years ago.

You can do both. If you keep your priorities straight.

Get your schooling done. That...even if you never use it...but you will...at least gives you something to fall back on. Next year, find corners to cut....you already have one spot you know paid off. Replant that. If you have the time, find another. But school comes first.

Then, after you graduate, go crazy, see if you have what it takes.

Cream rises to the top. Great weed will always be in demand....even in a flooded market. None of us know what will happen down the road....Will it ever be legal? What the market will look like ...then. Don't worry about it.

You pulled two lbs. dude...good for you. Great job. Seriously.

But it ain't always like that. In your calculations...there are some abstract numbers your not seeing....Yet.

That's not real life. Your young and a tad bit nieve.

I kinda envy you.

What ever path you choose. Good luck.

it was easier years back, now...not so much.

[I'm Dykster]

Stay in school.

Have you seen the brown dirt warrior YouTube vids...stay in school

Its more work than you think. Also, 50 lbs is really not that much and $200,000 is easily spent. I remember thinking just like you are thinking now, 10 years ago. The numbers dont add up as easily as you are thinking.Investment, trimming costs, time, and risk all add up. You may feel like a happier person while growing as a hobby... you will find out if this is the truth when it is your job. If you really can get 4k per and can move them fast you will be fine, but thats only if you can pull it off. Lots of times, people spread themselves too thin to be successful.... Try as much as you can handle without becoming so busy that you have to take shortcuts to do things right. Or just get to a med state and kick back at one location while using your contacts to get the premium price.

I quit school and moved to where I am right now... and while I am happy where I am at, i wish i would have finished grad school, especially with how much it costs now as compared to a decade ago. If you are almost done, finish up and save a little more cash before you prematurly change your life and possibly miss out on possibilities that come from a degree. I really wish i would have stayed in school because if my situation ever goes south, I dont have many options. Good luck.

hey go ahead and give it a shot. check out aeroguerillas thread, he put in a ton of work and at the end of the season choppers came in and got his shit. they dont need warrants or anything if you are guerilla growing. might be easier to pull off on private property....

also you do sound naive, you cant bury money in ammo boxes....you need to triple seal that shit or you will have a soggy mess of useless garbage.

also your already thinkin about the end game before even realizing what ballpark you are stepping up into. this is a constant variable i see in growers that often fail...the whole "i can make 250K in one year...YEAH!"....

you could also waste your entire year having spots jacked, or most likely rotted out with mold, etc. 2 lbs is easy as hell to take care of, only takes a couple hours to yank that out of the field. 50 lbs will require you to be onsite much longer periods of time increasing your risk.

not saying trying to grow for a living is bad...we all do. but guerilla growing is not something i would rely on for steady cash, sounds stressful as hell. rent a cheap property out in the sticks and set up a small greenhouse or do some hedged rows and try to make it look like legit crops you will have a way easier time cropping 50 that way. if your in nonmed state check your local laws and see what the number brackets are...for example if your state says 1-50 plants is 5 years whereas 50-200 plants is 10 years than keep it under 50. keep your game plan tight and your alert up and please dont become another victim of the drug war, many others before you thought they could do the exact same thing and are sitting in prison now because of it. you are at higher risk of being a statistic because of your lack of experiance in the game....stay safe out there and good luck.

If i were you, i would give it a shot while staying in school.
If you can pull this off and end up with 100k-200k, as long you don't have dreams of having a 500k house in the suburbs, 2 kids and a wife you'd be set for life.

Having a small house built for you is dirt cheap.
You could easily have a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a kitchen and a living room house with 30k. Plus an extra 10k for the land.
Then you could install solar panels, retire and use the money you have left to live a modest life.

Or you could keep working and do whatever the hell you want because you'd still have a lot of money to spend monthly even if you worked for minimum wage.
All you would have to pay for is food, clothing and other essential stuff such as soap.
