Kwh=$.08-.12
If all were 1k and on 24/7 at the upper .12 it would still be less than 1500
Thats tx by the way....

This thread turned into a bunch of bs.

Its .13 in michigan. Which at $50 a month per 10 flowering and $75 for 6 veg. Thats 950 just for the lights. Then there are 3 ac units, my 450 watt 24/7 t5 fixture, 6 inline fans and 11 osculating fans. aswell as 3 large dehumidifiers. Trust me that number is correct lol

Oh i never doubted your numbers..
Mine are much lower anyway, i was just saying.
I already said my indoor costs ~$150 a lb with all yearly costs
~$250 including rent. But including rent complicates it too much as each property has a dif number of lights and therefore yield and profit in relation to the rent. $250 was just using 5, 1k's flowering and the 5 for veg at $900 a month for rent.. these numbers, including the $150/lb are not the minumum but worst case scenario, assuming the highest kwh (fluctuates with time of year) the highest rent of my spots, being wasteful with nutes etc and using .7gpw yield. Randomly selected 5 for an example.
Im not going super detailed into my business practices, nor do i pretend to run like one.

I prefer to just look at per light costs, no rent. Only water nutes etc for whats under that light giving between $.26-.37 per gram and i work from there

I have less lights than the 12 year old and my electric is around 2800 per month. Not Michigan though so I can't say for sure he's full of it. That does make sense though if he's only getting a pound per light like he says. Pound per light where I live, and your eating top ramen.

I spend more on nutrients and dirt than him too.. And I get smokin deals and have less lights.. So either I suck at budgeting or he's full of it

Between edison and the hydro store I spend at least 50k a year. That's not including trimmers and rent and living expenses. Growing nug isn't cheap and you guys are dbags for trying to make people think that it is

Well i gave my kwh...so...

Also i make and recycle my dirt..it is indeed pretty much free

Nutes are extremely cheap, depending on how im growing between $50 and 300 per house. Ive actually never spent more than 50 per year under a 1k light. And ive grown organic and synthetic

It is extremely cheap. Dont get upset..you throw out 50k but dont show how it relates. I could say that i spend about 40K on rent alone making overhead seem outrageous. I spend a similar amount as the number you threw on elec every year. But i can sell the product from all that at $800 a lb and still make ~$400K a year after paying everything

I didn't include my rent in that. You don't include your elextric in your bills either? 50 bucks a year per 1k? I use more than thst per run on shooting powder. You sound fucking stupid

What about your costs for trimming? Do you pay to have it done or do you do it yourself? How much time spent trimming per lb? Even if you do it yourself that's labor costs. Trim machines can cut that time in half but then there's the initial cost of the machine. Just curious because trimming is by far my biggest cost.

Our power here in Northern California is around .34 cents a Kwh. Just an FYI. It's some really good power though;-)

It's why we grow the best bud. Always have!
