Hello RUI, I am fucking furious right now. So I started growing about a year ago, with money signs in my eyes hearing numbers like 2800-3200 a lb... I started small with just a 400w in my closet and then gradually kept stepping up until I got to the setup I have now which is a 600 and a 1000 in a small room(not using the 400 atm) in a perpetual grow. So this last harvest was a personal best at 10 ounces off the 1000... I know I can do better but its only like my 4th time. And it turned out perfect.. real bomb, I was even able to flush a little more than 2 weeks. So finally feeling confident enough to take my stuff around to the clubs I set out on my adventure. Only to get low ball after low ball... I'm talking super low balls... like a donkey with elephantitis. I had one dude offer me 900 for a half pound... I had one dude offer me 300 for 5 ounces(which would be about 900 a lb FOR FUCKING 100W INDOOR)... the rest just said no thanks. Why do they make this shit look so lucrative in the media and what not.. then you start growing and it seems impossible to even make what it cost you to fucking grow it...
So what the fuck? Anyone else have this same experience? Am I just going to the wrong places? Why does this shit feel like a pyramid scheme-type scam to me? I swear to god every place I was in had more vendors than customers waiting and they were all the same age as me with the same nervous hopeful look on their face.
I also took the liberty of checking out a lot of the places "top shelf" shit and mine could easily just as good or better. I even took the time to dry it slow and cure it a little. I had a dude tell me they would only sell my stuff for 25 an eight... then I go look at the menu and I see 450/oz 450/oz 420/oz 420/oz 400/oz 390/oz 380/oz 360/oz 350/oz then like 250 for generic outdoor shit... So are they aloud to do this? Just lie to people?
Plus aren't they non profit? How the fuck do all these places charge tax??? Why is it they can (supposedly) buy a pound for 900-1800 of indoor then go sell it for like 4500 minimum... Thats price gouging... The average gross profit any company makes on a product is 60% more like 7% if you want to talk about net profit... But these fucking guys are turning shit around for at least 200% gross profit? AND they don't pay taxes cuz they are non profit? That just seems criminal to me...
So I guess there's a lot there... But I'm starting to feel like all the fuckin drug dealers just moved into cannabis clubs... act like its some booming industry that needs all the growers and suppliers it can get... They show nice little wholesome mom and pop growers on fucking csnbc and msnbc specials and shit who "oh gee golly were just down on there luck and started growing then everything magically worked out..." I think its all bullshit... I think the clubs supply themselves... fuckin trick hopeful people into growing it to make a living as a "vendor" then you go in there and they just spit in your face and dont give a fuck if you come back or not cuz they never needed your fuckin weed in the first place... I bet all these assholes are the same people who own the hydroponic stores... its probably just a big run around scam...
I hope that I am wrong and have just been unlucky in my selection... but I have invested so much into this and it was kinda like a last house on the block effort for me to do something with my failure of a life. I'm about to go straight denzel washington in this mother fucker
