Is selling really that profitable?

honestly this question shouldnt have been asked. math. math. math. the max amount made on a pound is 5120 if sold it in eights. (which isnt always doable) now lets say you bought that elbow of super for 1800 (granted idk what u pay)that leaves you with 3320 in your pocket, do that 2-4 times a month and your racking it in brother. A day job is nice to justify spending that money. ALL MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITYS COST MONEY.

Happy Growing

If you think growing is already easy now,just you wait until you try it with a timer for the lights. That way you wont forget to "flick the lightswitch" while youre churning butter and making soap out of lye and tallow :)
I would think a light timer would be first priority> Before going into flowering.
They cost $15-$20> Then you never have to flip any switch or pull plugs in/out.

If you have paid off all your grow shit, and you have a 4x4 area with good lights, you can make money, as long as you have steady customers. I wouldn't grow a lot if I didn't. In that area I can grow 16 plants @ 2.5 oz average x 3 times a year with electrical averaging $200 per month. Yes, you can make money, but only if you can sell it.
16 plants @ 2.5oz each in a 4x4' area?

Impressive.

Please elaborate....

S-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y. Also the fact that I have done several hundred autos and multiple strains with many rooms of them. Like the one in my avatar. Look, if you want to go down the rocky Auto road, cool. I would heed my warning before jumping right in. Maybe start with 5 or 10. See how it goes. Remember if you grow for greed, it all goes to seed. Good luck ol chap!
you just have to self pollinate/ force herm early on the pheno you like then the results are more uniform

I was going through an ounce or so a day wqhen I was slangin a couple years back. I usually just supplied all the crew around my suburb and the surrounding. If I sold an o in just grams I would clear about 400-420 and buy another o for 200. I wasnt growing so I did have to go see someone to pickup but I was averaging about 200 profit a day, maybe a bit more. But running around for small amounts ends up being a pain in the ass. You do make more money with smaller amounts but it does get annoying having to run out at 10:30 at night for 15 bucks...

It basically boils down to a)run around all day for smaller amounts but clear a larger profit or
b) fuck with larger amounts, get bigger sums of money in one hit but risk more if you get caught

Im from Aus as well so prices I was talking may seem different

The kid of a guy I've known for a couple of years just got pinched moving 10-15 lbs a month. I guarantee dealing at that level is only going to cost him.

Thats it...Selling smaller amounts is the way to go. You still can earn a hefty profit if you have enough clients but people just get greedy. When dealing with large quantities its not 'if' you get busted its 'when'
 
But you still would be yielding a certain amount which in turn would be sold at a certain price correct? Yes So you would make a averages profit. Any idea what that is? NO
Whatever money I've got left over when the next run is done, thats my profit. Which is either spent on an upgrade Or its whoopie time and we get something we want instead of need.

And too"Get a job hippie" Oh I could get a real job, like my big brother Bob, in fact I get called up on the regs. But I get to decide if I want to or not.

Shit I already dropped money on equipment and just spent more last night on nutes and another bulb for backup. In general, how long does it take you to unload your harvest?
 
You can bubble anywhere with HIDs and make money though, even a small room with a few tubs will set you up... But again if your not growing top level, you'll find problems moving it.
