How many pot smokers out of 100....

[southflorida]

on a regular basis.....no more than 1% grow....maybe less

possible jail time.....of course....is the number one reason...too many don't want to pay that high a price

not to jack the thread but how many in a 100 do think will grow when i becomes legal. its just not feasible for some but i think most would. then we gotta worry about full time rippers if its outside

when i was in high school i was really tight will all the stoners and none of them grew except me on a regular basis. every once in a while id here hey man i threw a seed out and check out this bud i got. it was always premature airy stuff. but hey it was free.

i take part of that back i also went to the technical center to work on cars and i saw a freind from awhile back and he had a swamp and grew a nice plot every year. but besides him and me, no one. anyway id say 1-2 percent in the US right now

The amount of fellow smokers that have stated how growing is the stupidest thing in the world!
imagine the cops kicking your door in yada....



My experience also has been that smokers are scared to grow.



This is just speculation,


but my number is 3% of smokers also grow.

I'm thinking if it were legal like 10-25% of all people with prescriptions/recommendations would grow. This is pure speculation though so maybe one of our Cali posters could correct me.
But I would certainly be growing if I were medical. Why pay 60-70 an eighth in a club when you could grow oz's and oz's at home for the cost of electricity and nutes?
Only if you didn't smoke that much would you not have much incentive to grow (or you were wealthy and didnt want to deal with the hassle and work involved in growing, or the people you were living with didnt want you growing). But I figure, under medical limits, at most $50/month for electricity and nutes/supplies to grow 6oz's to a pound a month...

I don't there will ever be 25% growing thier own... I mean brewing beer or making wine is easier than growing pot, its been legal for 30 years and still most people don't bother.

Yeah, being legalized won't make lots more people grow, who would want to grow when they can just go to the store and buy a pack of joints or something? I doubt it will ever go past 10-20% of smokers that grow.

Difficult question without getting more specific.

Indoor or outdoor?
I'm sure there are far more growers that perhaps flowered a cheeky plant on a windowsill or in a garden or greenhouse than those with dedicated indoor grows.

Then you've got to consider the country and even the state if you're thinking U.S.

In Spain you find pot plants even in the odd office, just for the fun and decorative value.

 

[Bababooey]

Well, I was talking legal like medicinal legal in Cali, Colorado, Oregon, etc. U can go into a collective there and buy some herb but it's really not any cheaper than buying 'on the street'.
Sure, if you could buy a pack of kush joints for $5 a pack at a gas station, then there's no incentive to grow your own...
But in a collective, where you'd be hard pressed to find anything under $40 an eighth, you'd still be spending quite a bit of money for your personal use.
And you're right that anyone can brew their own beer, but it's a pain in the arse and buying a 12 pack of even imported brew isn't going to cost you much more than $15. Hell, if all you cared about was alcohol content go with miller high life or natty lite or some other cheap beer...
I think a smoker could save a lot more $$ by growing their own than a drinker would by brewing their own. That's assuming that the smoker smokes quite a bit, like at least a quarter a week or more. If you're a light/occasional toker and an eighth lasts you a month, then of course there'd really be no sense for you to grow...
Just my two cents..

I just watched a friend brew a batch of beer, and it worked out so that it costs about the same as PBR. Obviously quality will be a lot higher than PBR, but the price difference isn't much at all. When growing, you can pay 5-10% of street prices.

And what will the street prices be when its legal? Also, I don't know about beer, but you you can make high quality wine for way cheaper and better than even cheap stuff... and what is PBR pabst blue ribbon? lol you can't compare home brewed to that stuff. Thats like comparing homegrown to mexican brick weed.

 

[kmk420kali]

who is gonna pay 500 an ounce for crap next to the stuff you grow yourself for free?

Please tell me how you are growing good weed for free!! I really, really want to know--

That's what I'm saying. Brewing your own gives you homegrown quality at mexican brick prices. (PBR = Brick)

Outdoor growing is pretty much free, as long as you have seeds/clones.

I think your 5-10% is probably a little low.. If mexibrick is your baseline. Especially with california electric prices. Of coarse if its legal, you'll be growing outdoors for "free", which is probably why if it ever was legalized, growing would still be illegal....

My Veg Cab and Flower Cab both use about 150kw/h per month. That's 300kw/h per month for my setup, at my electric price ($0.13 per kw/h) works out to just under $40 a month. Once you've got your vegging plants setup and clones going and everything you can harvest as often as your plants can flower. Say you have a 60 day strain, you can easily yield 2oz with a 150w (0.3gpw) That's 2oz of A+ buds, for $80 + nutes (Mine are $7 for a 9 week strain, how much are yours?)

So $87 for let's say 50g, that's $1.74 per gram. The 5-10% number I gave was just an estimate, but for me? $87 is 11% of $800, which would be what I could get good buds for. ($400/oz)

With a larger light you'd get even better returns.

Look at everything you can in that way. Buy a house, or build one yourself? If you can be the general contractor and do part of the work yourself, you can pay 40-50% for a new home. Why wouldn't you?

Damn, will you please post the shop that will provide you with soil, Bone Meal, Blood Meal, Greensand, Bat Guano, and Worm Castings...and enough to do a grow of 20 to 30 plants-- I figure it at about $100 per plant, plus my time for mixing, spraying, watering, feeding, trimming, pruning, security, and a $$ amount for the love I put in them!!
But Damn man!! If you have a place doing all that for free...please share it!!

You don't need all that... unless your a member of the cult of organics... but whatever. $100 per plant?! If you say so... Jezuz you could build a fuckin raised soil bed/garden(or a greenhouse) cheaper than that.

Right...the cheaper you go, the better the weed will be, right?
