How do you pay for your MMJ?

We were comfortable with .784gpw as our target, with a 56 day flower cycle.
Yes they can run hydro setups.

Yeah, that's a pretty good number commercially. Hadn't looked into the hydro thing, I thought they might have restrictions on that, interesting, hydro for med grows...

Oh I get what you're saying, yeah, if you can improve/reduce your timeframe while maintaining a decent gpw, for sure. That's primarily genetics/strains, there are some tweaks you can do as a grower but genetics drives this the most I think. I'm assuming in my scenario running shorter flowering strains and 8 week veg to hit around 4 zips per plant. What I've found out recently after switching to CMH for flowering, but maintaining LED's for veg is there's something going on, possibly the change or mix of different light sources/spectrums, it's given me a huge increase in production and the CMH tech is suspected to reduce flowering times, which I've also seen. Trying to lock down the process I used in my first round with this config, and reduce variables for this run to see if both of these factors hold. The last round knocked 6 days off flowering for a same strain, clone from same mother, with all other variables/process being equal, other than the switch to CMH for flowering. idk exactly what's going on as you know it takes time to prove out theories in this game but so far this combo is looking really good. I expect to hit 1gpw this current cycle and hoping for as high as 1.25, in the same or shorter timeframe, that would be f'n awesome.

Fascinating stuff...I have never hit 1.25, all the best.
For sure it's the strains and genetics...and instant reloading.

Thanks, yeah the re-load time is critical when going for efficiencies. I like to play with new tech and have gotten burned with LED's. This one (CMH) is blowing away my expectations, hopefully that'll make up for my less than stellar results from cheap/chinese LED's for flowering. I have one of four plants in there that's not typically a good producer so it would be far-out to expect more than 1gpw, but I'm not giving up my Jack The Ripper pheno, regardless of the effects on gpw

Damn, nice yield from 2 plants, must be monsters and trained well, or a hell of a strain/pheno, that's like 380g's or so per, sweet. I prefer a smaller number of plants, even if I have to veg longer, so much less work and i can focus more on training to make up for the time in yield.

With the MMAR, numbers of plants are important...4 wk veg, yes monsters

At less than $800/mo disability income and a 10g/day script, I couldn't afford the luxury of being legal under the mmpr. My thoughts to those that are stuck in it is buy LP weed once, then reuse the bottle for quality, cheaper bm weed. I'm sure other medical insurers will have no choice but to cover marijuana as pressure mounts. I may just write a letter to Harper asking why he thinks it is ok to supply our vets with free medicine when he has severely impacted the ability of the country's sickest and poorest to obtain it.

+1. I hear you. Living off disability is hard enough, paying these outrageous prices for meds is impossible :/
