Ain't it the truth!
Had to laugh at that one! Think I can sell my Brandywine tomatoes for $100 a quarter? Cause that would solve ALL my financial problems
Let's face it. With Pot or any "illicit" substance, what you are mainly paying for is the risk the seller is taking. Supply/demand, of course, is going to dictate the price of your trees and it's only worth what someone will pay in the end
Yep, so easy you just put it in dirt and let it take care of itself.....
Now we know why you have never completed a grow....

Plant it in dirt a let it take care of it self, LOL, spoken like a true non grower , if you were a grower you would know there's a lot more work than that. And complain bout prices do you understand the cost and time that us growers put in , electricity cost , nutrient , genetics ($$$), light bulb replacement , and the time ( 10-12 hrs a day muthafucker ) , and then you get people like you that think it should just be free .

Maybe I misinterpreted the fellows words, but I honesty don't think he was trying to make light of the work you guys put in to grow. I thought it was more of a tongue-in-cheek remark.
As a new indoor grower, I gotta admit that I'm finding out exactly how much time and money goes into growing. More than a half dozen plants and I'd have to start putting in for time off work lol.

The prices of MMJ are high because the shit aint that easy to grow. Trimming alone can take a whole day if not more depending on plant count. Just getting your hands on good genetics is tough. Growers take losses too like bug infestations, plant disease, or bad genetics and having a plant hermie on you, etc , etc the list goes on.

Nothing bugs me more than gram people. I've gotten to the point where I'll just say 1/8 minimum. Not worth my time

Man, you guys don't even know how lucky you are. UK prices just doubled from around 140 pounds an ounce to 280 as a standard price for medium weed when they re-classified it from class c to class b. 320 are more likely and you have no idea what you're buying. If you're lucky it is something nice but it can also happen that you get somebody's unflushed chemical weed which doesn't even burn in a spliff. If you complain the dealer will tell you that he got ripped off himself.
In Germany it can be even worse. In most of the bigger cities it is easier to find but if you live somewhere else it will be at least 10-12 Euros per gram and bloody hard to get anything at all. The police have introduced on the spot piss test for drivers so plenty of people are losing their licenses. The fun with the piss test is that it doesn't show active THC but the waste products so it will show a spliff you had 6 weeks ago. Dire situation, especially in the south. 2 of my old friends lost their license and had to stop smoking weed in order to get it back. If they catch you a 2nd time you lose your license forever. So many people turned to alcohol.
Come over to Germany, I'll take a few days off and show you around. I'm sure you'll have some sympathy for gram people then.
Oh and Germany uses the metric system so nobody will have a clue what an 1/8 is anyway

Anyone knocking the growers and their prices needs to grow their own and stop buying it from them. If you don't like it put in the work yourself and get your own. It will cost you a nice penny to get started and after you get a few runs in you might even be able to grow some decent bud. Have fun with the bugs, temps, humidty, nosy neighbors etc.
People feel so entitled that they would rather drive people to grow all commercial strains than to actually grow some dank. IF you wanna pay 150 an oz then you better be ready to get some midgrades or low. The market not only dictates price but quality, if you go to any collective in california and think that their top shelf is the best of the best you are a fool. The best of the best comes in boutique runs and stays behind the scenes because people aren't willing to pay for quality anymore.
I started out paying 20 bucks a gram and 360 an oz that was about 13 years ago, if you ask me prices shouldn't go down they should go up because I don't see a break on my electricity bill or my rent. I also have to pay more for food just like the rest of you ... so tell me again why you think you should be getting handouts?
You can come help with the garden and earn yourself some buds but a handout is only given to those who can't afford it and can't work for it imo. Those people include the homeless population and the veterans. They seem to be synonomous nowadays.

I have to day a few things.
If a patient or friend needs it, I can give it on credit or a hookup when testing strains.
Cannabis is very cheap to grow, with the caveat that you've sunk the capital in equipment, good genetics, time, patience, and getting the learning curve. I did the math, including electricity (capital costs are paid off with first successful grow, but depreciation account is considered in the cost), nutrients (Jacks baby, I don't mess around with nonsense bottles), and miscellaneous electrical expenses, a plant from start to finish will cost around $14-20 including veg time.
You guys have risk, well we all do, even with laws to supposedly protect us, but as my garden is more productive and if there is a bumper harvest, I tend to lower prices as the people I deal with, I care about. They get a price they can't get elsewhere and quality for the dollar.
Eta the price per plant does not include my time obviously. And flushing isn't necessary unless you as a grower fuck up your medium with over fertilization. What you are referring to is an improper dry/cure to cause that effect

Don't get me wrong, i am not criticizing you at all. This is the way it should be.
But the weed i was talking about was definitely over fertilized. Nobody can mess up a drying/curing process like that unless you dry it in the exhaust of your old diesel van.

Actually, what he's referring to can very well be exactly what he said it is. I can't speak for dirt/soil, but in DWC I wouldn't consider anything less than a 10 day pure water flush at the end. If a joint won't burn a white ash, and instead gives you charcoal tips that won't stay lit, you've got unflushed [ and basically worthless ] weed.

Well I don't do hydro, and I'm sure changing out reservoirs is important. What people think is "chemicals" in the end is a poor dry/cure or a grower using foliar spray.

I started growing my own due to asshole gram dealers charging 20 a gram around here, and no discount for buying a quarter. fuck that, i go through a 60$ bag in a couple hours... complete nonsense.
and I don't hook anyone up cuz no one knows what I'm doing.
