Think before you caregive

[tomcatjones]

This is My Pet-Peeve... You say 2oz a month is too much, well what kinda grow do you got going on because if you are able to grow someone 6 plants, that can easily yield a LB.. so you either have a rinky dink grow.. or you are pocketing all "Their" bud.

If I were able to caregive for 3 ppl & grow 18 more plants.. Under "my standards of what a grow room should be" that is Lbs.. many Lbs.. why would I not provide free meds when I am making so much extra bud?

which is why I have my legal garden of 6 & it works fine for me. I could get 6x 600watt lights & my 6 plant limit would still be fine with me.. all that would change is the pot size.

tired of the scale of growers being this..

sorry.. but i'd probably take a half pound of organic over your 1lb of mcdonalds medicine.

basically... you are all arguing over sooo many variables it is pointless to argue about.

some are new and can't get an ounce off 1 plant.

some caregivers with 3 plants probably produce more weight than i would at 40.

it is all style of growing, how well your grow is dialed in and experience.


when i have two nugs.. one of them weighs 3 grams and 1 weighs 1 gram..

if i have to smoke three bowls to feel anything from the bigger one and then take a hit from the other... somethings wrong.

but hey i have a lot of chemical fertilizers sitting around because i thought it was the way to go... not anymore.

You have no clue what you are talking about buddy, I use 2x 600w over 6 plants using Subcool super soil in 10gal air pots. You have failed my yung grass'hoppa.


sorry my bad I should have done my homework before, I usually only respond to those with threads about plants they grow. You got me..

Could have just answer the question with a "yes" and left the rest of the box empty..
But thanks for removing all doubt.

I know many growers, some for quality, some for quantity. In my experience it is the ones who are rinky-dink & cheap who want to grow as many plants as possible for other people hoping to make bank, when in reality they hardly can afford the equip to grow their own dank & for some reason feel their patients should be the ones forking out the $$ to pay for the Equip. They are the Jokes to me. My buddie who got a loan to open up his 20K co-op grow room is legit as ever & produces meds the correct way imo.. He is not a cheap fk cluttering his spare room trying to pay his bills off other peoples plants.

So yeah imo, you should be able to afford the 5-10x 1000watt lights & the equip that comes along to make that environment secure before trying to up the plant limit. People do it backwards all the time.. they have 1x 1000 watt light and try to findout how to get more plants..

Might I suggest a simple solution? If this is the first thing you've grown in your life - don't be a caregiver for other people. I'm no pro grower by any stretch of the word but I've grown once before with 2 $20 150w hps econolights (converted) with $1 tin pans cut out and used as my reflectors reflector. I had 3 plants in my little homemade cab in my closet that had less than 3 feet of vertical grow space and less than 2 feet of width and about 3 feet of length (i.e. fucking small space) and I grew a healthy little quantity of personal dank on my first run even though I f'd up about everything I could have possibly f'd up from over nuting to bad water quality etc....my point is if you can grow 12 plants for a patient and you actually have the acquired skills to do so properly with the proper equipment, I would expect a good healthy yield each cycle which I would expect to in some way or by some pre-determined agreement, share with my patients in a reasonable manner. What constitutes a reasonable manner seems to be the big variable with everyone. That variable is for you and your patients to hash out...no pun intended

I agree. Though some people think giving "Free" meds is crazy.. when in reality if they had a decent op with decent plants, they could easily give there patients free meds with 0 Loss to them or the op. People are greedy and expect profitprofitprofit, average growers who caregive for some reason think that their job growing pot should be on par with $20+/hr wages, including the 16 hours of over time they put in daily. ^_^

"cycling" 12 plants at once would be an illegal weight. we have explicit planning protocol to be able to not only supply uninterrupted, but several different strains at once, and weekly even.

growing a few buds in moms closet was nothing compared to being a full time caregiver. any marijuana grown under weak lights, or bad water, or poor air quality, etc is not considered medicinal marijuana, which is a professional class of growing in a very clean, pure, and mold/pest free environment.

nobody under 40 ever asked for free product from me. I wont interview anyone under 40, and I complete their paperwork, and they dont see my ss#
