Also Sunlight Supply is selling Gavitas to "electricians" and those guys are flogging them out their back door and fucking up the market here for stores. LOL I had some guys come in with those Gavitas trying to get warranty. When I found out who sold them I laughed hard, so you don't want to buy from me but when you need warranty you come to my shop, yah good luck getting a warranty from some guy who sold it from their house.

The rep just sent me the cost and around $1700 would be retail + tax . There very tiny saving for buying bulk and too. Still stupid expensive.

Ya ALL these LED makers seem to want to be in on your hydro savings achieved from these things. I see ALL of them as overpriced.

@CannaReview Have you tried or seen the results other than on here of the QB boards? Those Samsung top bin diodes work great. Maybe there is some possible retail success selling DIY kits, or assembling your own or other people's DIY kits and selling them assembled?

Very limited market here especially now that lots of commercial growers are gone, getting hobby growers in to grow 4 plants is not happening add in DIY stuff and not really going to happen. If weed was $2500/lb it would be a different story and you'd see the 2-4 lights guys come back like in the late 2000's and earlier. I'm still in research and brain storming mode on how to revamp my business plan for long term but with only 3mil people in BC and 125+ hydro stores in BC alone vs say 15mil in Ontario, it's a bit of a challenge. I have a few ideas but I won't be ready to test them out for at least a month and some of it will depend on how willing some of the manufacturers will be participate.

You know here in Ont, we have a limited number of grow shops. If you google it it's surprising how few there are imo. In my whole area we have 2. And there's 350,000 residents in the tri city area. No shop in cambridge even. Sparse really
Either we have only a few small growers or they all order online. My local shop seems busy. Not sure where the bigger guys get their stuff. You know, the more than 20 light operations.

So you didn't get or see a big influx of newbies coming in? No big rush to grow by new folks ?
I think a lot of folks are just waiting for spring. Boy are they gonna get a surprise.

0 I told everyone in the industry when legalization day comes no one will buy tents or grow 4 plants, besides many other reasons that market is no sustainable for stores regarding personal growing.Yes you see people growing on forums but that is tiny percentage of growers in Canada and most here have been growing long before legalization.

Legalization and those who want to grow is a different market then what the normal market is ie those of us who have grown before legalization, majority will not be prepared to spend the time to grow the plants in the long run.

There are 2 other stores in my location with in 5 KM in a town of 38K. 15-20 KM away there is another 6 stores and 20-50 KM away there probably another 20+ stores. I believe there are 125 store in BC alone.

I am finding out lots of people near me are going to try to grow this year, and most of them will be breaking the 4 plant limits.

Well how can they catch you really?
I am going to do my best to stick to 4 plants but its not like they knock on doors.
I have 60 seeds left and I am waiting for a sale again...its a sickness.
