(In your opinion)Is growing weed for profit even worth it anymore?

Thats crazy your place has awesome power wish everywhere was like that haha.
You got an long long extension cord? I got extra power if you like! Haha!
To each their own, but OG doesn't do it for me, if you have some good haze or other sativas 2500 of well grown biodynamic is quite a fair price imo. When someone goes to the effort of flowering 14-18 week plants, bio dynamically that are grown, dried and cured to perfection they deserve that money if though they produced it for quite a bit less, no one else is doing it and it takes a great skill to balance everything for that great end product. That is just my personal preference and opinion though.
Raise your hand if you know you're in the Canada subforum.
Specialize. The high end market is less effected by changes in the mass. Long flowering sativa, unique terpene profiles and quick adaptation of new techniques. Sungrown is nice and all that but the new legal market is unlikely, in my opinion, to include concentrates as we know them now, and side by sides are showing less cannabinoids/more waxes with similar cuts/soil/feed compared to indoor.
Or follow the money. There are many places abroad that do not have a liberal approach to cannabis, or are so far behind the times one can make an easy dollar bringing them up to speed.

I agree with Mikell.
Growers are spoiled. Gone are the days you could spent 10,000 on a set up, go down to your local clone house grab any Kush and get 2400 for 50 day boot fucked Kush.
It's all about quality now. My partner and I spent around a 1000 dollars a month on seeds and also have friends in cali send us slips of all the new strains. Sometimes we pay 500 USD per strain.
Honestly we can't grow weed fast enough. We are always getting asked for more so we are building more rooms.
Here's our current roster. If you don't know most of these strains you're falling behind;
GGlue4
Rockstar
Grimace OG
Goji OG
Ghost Train Haze #1
SFV OG
GSC Forum Cut
Animal Cookies
Jawa Pie
KosherDawg x Mendobreath
26 Cookies
Albert Walker
Grape Pie
Sunset Sherb
Gelato 33
Wifi 43
Shaved Ice
Space Monkey
MeatBreath
Dosidos NorCal Cut
Alien Rock Candy
Banana OG
White Pie
And we have Peanut Butter Breath, Garlic Breath, Stardawg 91 and Tropicana Cookies seedlings.
GMO and Weddibg Cake slips on the way.
Stay current. Spend more money. Can't pump out PK that 30,000 other guys are selling and expect 2500-2800 a L
Also, move. Gone are the days BC ran the game. I lived there for 15 years. Set up else where. Follow the money as Mikell said.

The Shark Tank television show needs a new (more interesting) episode.
Yeah that would be fun. But it not being federally legal eliminates 99% of investment avenues...

Not if the funds remain within the states in which they were made (within a separate State entity - corporations) and if investments only cross state lines when the funds are reinvested in enterprises sanctioned by Big Brother.

OG does it for my back pain. When im not in pain i can actually e joy being high. Most stuff does not take away the pain and so i cant enjoy being high. I dont fuck with anything other than OG, chem, sour and cookie hybrids these days. Those groups and their hybrids work best for me.
Theres a market for a bit of everything now. The lomg flowers, ogs, commercial, pure indicas, over time im sure they will all start to see a realistic price. You shouldnt get the same for a zip of nl5 and a bag of og. Ones harder to grow, costs more to get the genetics and produces poorer yields slower... things like 12+ week flower sativas should cost even more per gram. Longer to grow and often poorest yields of all.
We should get a fair price for what it is. Thats my feeling anyway
As previously noted, these guys are talking about Canada.
I'd be interested in hearing what you and others think about how cannabis could benefit from genetic modification. I can see large company's trying to patent or trademark specific strains or traits.
Most of the genetic modification I'm aware of was to make crops able to take systemic herbicide applications so weeds weren't an issue in row crops. I doubt an educated consumer will accept glyphosate ready reefer, glyphosate is now required to have a warning label that it's a probable cancer causer in California.
I'm sure strains will be developed without thc, but you can already find low thc strains so not sure of what the point of that would be

Canada vs. South Texas, USA... what's the difference other than we have a MUCH longer growing season... and can grow sativa varieties??
You misunderstood what I meant. Banks and investors are afraid of federal asset seizure. And will not loan money to start ups.

I am against modification. DNA and breeding is all I need.
Fair enough, I am glad you found what you require for your needs, free market should allow you to pay what you feel it's worth, definitely nl5 should not be getting premium price unless you really like it and want to pay for it, while og may yield less and is harder to grow then yes it should cost more but I would just rather pay for haze than og personally, but that's my needs and preference.
