no one is paying the higher prices for indoor because all the outdoor is just as good and much cheaper. it all looks the same now. you could call it indoor and they'd never know. buyers aren't risking it. they are just going with the top quality outdoor for now. if you're lucky enough to find anyone who needs it. i haven't been.
Dispensaries can tell the difference very easily. Outdoor isnt as high quality because you get bugs, dirt, mold and other shit in the product, thus it cant get the price of indoor. Generally speaking, right now outdoor is about half the price. That being said outdoor is still a huge $$$ crop because you get alot more dope per plant.
The thing about selling on the net is aslong as you obey your counties laws, and the buyer obeys them, your in the "green" so to speak. So if my buyer asks me for 100 clones I tell them that I can only sell them 30 per day etc. If your sellin to someone from a stricter county you have to obey their rules when in that county. When asked, I never reveal how many clones I got, or anything to do with my operation.
I doubt the cops give a fuck about power consumption or anything like that. Ive asked my local police about it and they say they have more serious problems to deal with then dope. They caught my friend with dope at my house, he had no med card just a baggee and a pipe. They let him go!
Fortunatly dope is practically legal for anyone in Cali. Ive been at a 420 rally where everyone was blazing it up right outside the San Francisco City Hall doorsteps, in public on a Sunday afternoon. Cops whizzing by on their bikes not giving a fuck. Since its so decriminalized everybody is doing it, so demand is very high. I dont know anyone who doesnt smoke anymore.
Unfortunately since its so legalized the day of the grow op is about over. 5 years down the road I see dope being so cheap nobody will want to grow it.
I'd still be weary, Ive known cops to pull over suspicious dope runners just because. When they pull them driving over from humbolt they usually are with 10lbs of dope in the trunk and 10k cash in the glove box. Cop searches your car, finds the money first, puts it in his pocket right in front of you, smiles and says "have a nice day". Thats how the pigs operate here. Growing enough to make a profit takes alot of money to begin with. My buddy who grows for profit spent $40k on his setup. Thats not including the cost of those nutrient mixes or the time he spends. He doesnt like growing though, he'd rather be working. I on the other hand love growing, its like a hobby to me, I enjoy opening the door of my grow room and see my plants all green, healthy and bushy.
The best place to be in this business is not being a vendor, its being a end supplier. Dispensaries, and delivery services make millions. I know a guy who buys clones from vendors and sells them to his contacts. Sells 900 a week right now. The guy makes over 300k a year, its sickening, lol.
