All well and good but you will understand why your opinion in a "Wholesale" thread is next to meaningless as your experience has nothing to do with the subject.
I'm glad you grow your own. Keep smashing and you'll never need the retail or wholesale market again!
just because everyone could legally do it doesnt mean everybody would do it. do you see many people growing vineyards in their backyard and making their own wines.
People wont even grow their own vegetables and most of those are pretty easy to grow compared to cannabis, and grapes. especially since people can just buy GMO veggies that are pretty much stupid proofed.
This is a bit off topic, but.... If a person grows weed right now, it doesnt pay to grow veggies because the time and space spent on the veggies could have been better used on more weed growing. The weed is so much more valuable that the money made could buy ten times the amount of food a person could grow in the same space in the same time.

plus most potheads i know dont have the work ethic to maintain a good garden, ive had countless buddies put a few plants out in their backyard to loose them to mites, aphids, deer, and just plain neglect. and a bunch more who tried to run a small indoor closet and just fry all their plants...
....that had enough common sense...
A lot of plants need more special attention than just watering and fertilizing. And lets be honest, thats all cannabis needs outdoors if you're using suitable genetics.

oh really, only watering and fertilizing? please post some pictures of your commercial gardens where you only have to focus on those 2 things....
you can throw a plant in a 10 gallon, give it some water and nutes, and forget about it mostly and yield a decent amount of decent pot. ive seen herb grown this way, by novice growers who just throw a plant into their backyard. its always subpar, fluffy as hell, not fertilized properly, with aphids and spider mite damage, super leafy....straight to the hashpile.
but if you want to grow 200 pounds of good quality pot you are gonna have a bunch of other things to take into consideration. to say that i only need water/fertilizer for my outdoor gardens is pretty much a slap in the face to me and my partners we bust our asses out there to grow these plants and it sure as shit more than those 2 aspects.
I do it too Bro!Light deprivation is always my favorite. Somehow, it just worked out seemingly better and faster than indoors. Larger t.r.I.c.h.s , amazing product. Killer hash. Next year I will quietly do two light deprivation houses up in the woods. I never discuss this technique at the shop.It's my California grower secret. As if one couldn't read about it and learn. Hah a. People are lazy.
