dont you think the first three steps can be avoided? lol.

I agree though...growing for profit is best done as supplemental $. its too hard to LIVE off of it unless you're fortunate to find yourself in a great position where you have loads of land to harvest 50-100lbs where parting it out for cheap is no problem.

the ones who get rich grow it by the field. small indoor grows wont pay your way through without taking way too many chances and eventually going to jail or getting robbed/killed.

I enjoyed reading this, and all the replies to it. Im a young guy, and am currently finishing my first grow. As I was in the process of buying equipment and talking to local growers, I found a couple that used the cultivation of marijuana to make start up cash for their businesses. Not to live off of. They were successful at doing it and have businesses that are doing well. I think its a great idea. Whether other people think its right or wrong...thats on them.

I have to comment on this, there is a hydro shop here in town that the owner is under investigation by the Department of Revenue for where his start up capital came from to start the shop.
Make sure you consider this before you think you can just take your less than legal money and make it legal, its not as cut n dry as it sounds here.

Do you think the type of shop has something to do with why the Department of Revenue is investigating him?

Absolutely, had he bought say a used snow plow or garbage truck or something along those lines, he probably wouldn't have raised an eyebrow anywhere, but hydro shop = big red flag. Just think it through first, don't want to get into a fight with the irs.
On a side note, welcome itofficial, check out the Colorado section, we have a great group over there.

Definitely, I agree. Im extremely new to growing and everything. It didn't even cross my mind about the Department of Revenue getting involved. Im glad you put that in a reply. Thank you, I appreciate it, and I will check it out.
 
I started this thread to talk about how to make money growing weed, hence the title... If your reading this right now it is because when you saw the title you thought one of two things: A) I wanna get rich growing weed! B) Its not that easy, Lets see what this dummy is gonna say.

Well, those of you whom fall under our first category are gonna be dissapointed! But if you wanna continue reading I will share with you how I live comfortably, Have a continually growing savings account and stock portfolio, all the free smoke my lungs can inhale and live debt free.

First of all I started a service based business a couple years ago with profits from growing. I dont make a whole lot of money. but I make more than wages from an hourly job would pay. After deducting all my living expenses i.e. mortgage, utilities, insurance, gas, groceries,ect. I only would have about $250 a month for extra money to buy things I want. That dont go far when the kiddos need a pair of shoes or the wife wants to go for a nice dinner. So I started a perpetual grow in the basement. I sectioned off a room in the laundry area and set up two tents. I run two 4'x4'x7' tents. 8 plants per tent, and harvest every other month. I use hempy buckets with GH nutes and get around 3-4 oz per plant. These days its more towards the 4 mark. I run 2 600 watt lights on a single 1000watt ballast with a splitter.

So every 2 months Im bagging up 32oz. I cut them cheap to ONE person for $250 a oz. So Im getting $8000 every other month, or $4000 a month. The key thing is though that my day job covers all my living expenses, allowing me to save, invest or spend this money how I see fit. Ive been doing this for 3 years now and cant believe how fast you can really accumulate savings if your disiplined enough to not spend it all frivolously.


So the whole morel of this post is if your looking to make money or a living growing, think long term. Dont think you just need to go balls to the wall and put out 100 plants. The keys to long term success are:

* Maintain a day job. Even if its a little shitty job. By having a job your blending in with society. Your neighbors dont suspect anything b/c they see you leave for work, and the government dont suspect when your bank account starts to accumulate, as long as you let it happen over time.

* TELL NOONE ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING!!

* when getting rid of your product, dont nickel and dime it out. Get rid of it to one person or as few as possible to minimize your risks. Never tell the people you give it to you grew it, tell them your cousin has some crazy columbian cartel ties or something.

* TELL NOONE WHAT YOUR DOING!!!

* Stay patient! think of it as a second job! Making small amounts of money over time is alot less risky than a huge grow op. You fly under the radar as long as your smart and careful. Plus I dont know who I could drop 20lbs on at once anyway!

* DISCIPLINE.


I hope thins may inspire a few of you out there reading this to take a different perspective when considering growing for a profit to think long term as opposed to that one big score. Be smart and stick to whats comfortable to you and let discipline override your ambitions sometimes and you will be well off in the future. Remember, you cant make or spend money from a jail cell! Be smart and over time you will be rewarded as long as you dont blow all the money on hookers and booze! Set a certain number of how much you wanna put back each harvest and stick to it. Its hard sometimes but after a couple times and you see that acount growing it makes it a little easier!


Hope this helped someone! Anyone have any questions feel free to ask! Comments welcome as well! :peace:
Where do you live? shits 100 an oz for outdoor and 150-175max for good indoor. im jealous.

Last year sometime I thought I was going to get rich selling spice. I picked up the raw jwh-018 and made myself about a half pound for starters. Safe to say I'm not a hustler! I couldn't move that shit for anything. Then of course they make it illegal. When it comes to weed I know more people that grow than smoke! I absolutely wouldn't be able to deal weed in Cali.

I own a mmj store ....ya alot of people can grow but they grow shit... I have 3-4 quality growers that supply us...the rest of the suppliers grow I would say mids at best.

People seem to think they can buy some seeds from a supplier like Attitude....grow them out and bam they have killer weed.....Not always the case....

Example....We grow pre98 bubba have had the strain for 8 yrs same plant....people come to us with bubba and tell us its pre 98.....theres no way in hell its the real deal then you talk to them and find out they grew from seed:)
 
Well, redneck, can you tell who this person is, where he lives, what his business is, or anything about him? No. I appreciate his info, they are truly words of wisdom. If you are soooooo concerned about security, why are you even a member of this forum? Don't be hating man, that's not the way to roll. We are all in this together, so how about a little kindness and support for your fellow weed warriors? I don't want to start a fight, I'm just sayin'....
No, I can't tell who this person is or where he lives, but the government of The United States of America with unlimited resources and the ability to spy on anyone whom they see fit, can. I wasn't hating, but when the feds log on here and see someone making the equivalent of their annual salary selling marijuana illegally under the guise of "Medicinal Purpose", it will ruffle some feathers, which will only ENCOURAGE them to kick in doors. You can't have it both ways. Either this is a forum for medicinal marijuana patients or it is a place to come and learn how to sell drugs.

can i please be the first person to tell you to SHUT THE FUCK UP and go home. no one wants toolbags like you on this forum. retarded idiots going on about mmj patients. you do realize that the majority of users aren't patients and don't live in mmj states? and to all those who do live in mmj states...guess what...you're not legal either. growing weed is against the law...PERIOD. so everyone who grows is in jeapordy of being hit by the FEDS idiot! having 2 4x4 tents in your basement hardly qualifies as the top of their list of people to bust.

timmy, thanks for sharing man. cool setup. i have tons of friends who do the same on smaller and larger scales. i pretty much do the same but i don't need the money but it's noce to have a little extra cash on hand. i think the best point you make is about being able to get rid of your entire supply to 1 or 2 people. i've been growing/selling for 12 years and that has always been the most important part for me. i always take care of my friends and family first; then whaterver is leftover goes to 1 person and has for years.

Very nice manner of speaking. Have you ever known someone who was terminally ill? I've heard people who are ill complain about not being able to get their meds, because of raids conducted by the FBI etc... MMJ patients (and the idiots who go on about them, as you put it) after decades of lobbying, make it possible for drug dealers like you to grow and sell drugs with virtual impunity with just a doctor's recommendation. Just don't rub it in the faces of the feds, it only weakens the cause, that is all I am saying. I wish you luck on your venture, but I recommend you going back to school to work on your punctuation and grammar. If you are going to spew insults and name-calling at people from the safety and anonymity of cyberspace, at least do it correctly, tough guy. I sincerely thank you for clarifying the purpose of this site/forum as it being a place for drug dealers to congregate and "retarded idiots who go on about MMJ patients" aren't welcome. Kindest Regards.

really dumbass. the more you talk the more we all realize what a complete freakshow you are. making assumptions about someone you have never met is pathetic. assuming to know the extent of my education and correcting what is clearly acceptable grammer and punctuation for a forum just make you look like a jackass. dude...SHUT THE FUCK UP! you even go on rambling about mmj patients and blah blah blah. then you try and call me a drug dealer and say i'm hiding behind my computer. you're fucking classic! i don't even live in the U.S. anymore retard.

you sound like a soap box preacher. never once do you actually address any of the points that i made. just babbling about mmj cancer patients. i'm all for a cancer patient being able to smoke weed. but guess what idiot...i'm more for EVERYONE being able to smoke weed. if you think i'm hiding behind computer (lmfao) then feel free to send me a PM and the next time i'm in your area we can talk about this face to face. find out who's really hiding. if not...like i said before; STFU!

Unless Im mistaken the math is wrong. You say 2 tents, 8 plants per tent(total of 16),4 oz per plant,harvest every 8 weeks. That would be 64 oz. I think you meant 2 oz per plant if you're getting 32 oz every harvest.
