No I wasn't on here last yr. At all. But basically it's my own spin on that dry trimmer the guy on dudegrows made.have any details of it on here?
I followed your grow two years ago and did notice your absence last year.No I wasn't on here last yr. At all. But basically it's my own spin on that dry trimmer the guy on dudegrows made.
I did a comparison on how much keif was in my trim tray for a qp compared to using my trimmer...and there was only .03 grams more in my trimmer. However it only took 6 mins to trim a qp. And honestly looked better then by hand. Lol
Your a grower.Im a hobby farmer in a tent!
In a way yes... but it seriously works great lol believe it or not.I followed your grow two years ago and did notice your absence last year.
I think I know the one you mean, looks like a foldable laundry bag.
I grew trees indigenous to my area from seeds for years. Dogwood, red cedar, bald cypress, palms, lots of oaks and pines. I would give them as gifts, and folks got to buying them. I sold $600 worth in a two month period, and it dawned on me it had turned into a job. The money was not worth the aggravation. I was having to drop trees off on the way to work. I stopped cold turkey. I still have lots of cypress and palm trees in pots, 15 years later.I grow as a hobby AND as extra income.
I was the same way with taxidermy. People ruined it for me.I grew trees indigenous to my area from seeds for years. Dogwood, red cedar, bald cypress, palms, lots of oaks and pines.

I've got back into it in a small way. I'm growing big acorn oaks. Deer and turkey love them.
For me, trees make the best neighbors. People, not so much.I was the same way with taxidermy. People ruined it for me.
And that comes out to... A quarter a gram. How about that!This is the only reason I'm going to be sad when it legalizes here. Even tho I am surrounded my legalized states, prices are still high here.
$20 a gram
50-60 an 8th
300+ an oz
Etc etc.
And people pay it without blinking and it's always in high demand.
I recently priced my grow costs at around 70$ a plant. But that is over 4 pounds a plant. So all in all that is pretty good.
I want to see your breakdown still, you claimed that was for indoor. Isnt ganja gurl outdoor? Im not saying your wrong or it cant be done, i just want to see the breakdown, and time it takes to "break even" for startup costs.And that comes out to... A quarter a gram. How about that!
Yeah I don't see how indoor can really make much money. The lights and electricity is so much! Heck If I went the rout of most outdoor growers making super soils etc I wouldn't make squat.Id like to see the math breakdown on that. That brings us to 7 a oz, and 112 a lb. We have to be really close to the electric bill at this point, then the costs of whatever hydroponic system or dirt and containers are being used. And im assuming we are talking led so theres that upfront cost that needs delt with. I just dont really see it at that price, but i would like to see your breakdown.
Then Id like to see it further broke down to $$ per week after expenses. I think we should use a average yield at the top value ill let you decide, i think most people are pulling between a few oz an a few lb, please adjust equipment and running costs to reflect your yield number.
If it is possible to make money at such rates i think its moved to industrial scale and the quality will take a hit as they need to pull 1000 lbs + just to make any money
Why would you lol. I get what your saying but a gorilla grower back in the day was pulling (me anyways) $1600 per. At the end of the day I didn’t need to know I was netting 1500 or 1400, all I needed to know was how much the trip to Alaska was lol. Don’t get me wrong as again I hear you but really most outdoor gorilla growers don’t give a shit about the small (comparatively) cost per plant, just saying . It’s different if it’s a legit business, always nice to know net versus gross .Im not saying its not. You grow amazing plants.
I don't grow as well as you and I also have more than enough. I haven't bought pot in well over a decade. Its not about that Its about the true cost of growing that Gram and Labour would be one of the biggest costs.
I Gorilla grew for years and even factored in fuel to the equation.
Outdoor not indoor .4 lb plants indoors for $70 each. That's impressive, let me get my boots. I guess if each plant has a 1000 watter that would be $60/mo for electricity. The plants will need closer to 2 months of electricity. I dunno.
Because you might find if you included your labour the $1600 per, may come down quiet a bit. Labour adds up incredibly fast. If your growing and selling for profit then its nice to know the true profit. You can even then work out what you are earning per week over the year. Some people may get a nasty shock if they included all their costs.Why would you lol. I get what your saying but a gorilla grower back in the day was pulling (me anyways) $1600 per.

Again I hear ya but we are talking an illegal grow right? And while yes your time is worth something, the value of that time must be placed in the perspective of sitting around getting high trimming plants lol. I and my partner can trim a pound in an hour and while I make around 50 an hour at my reg job, I don’t classify trimming as a job as much as a means to an end, that end being large amounts of tax free cash . I think I would know without adding all my expenses whether I would continue or not. I don’t grow anymore for profit, more of a hobby now and to save some cash. But I’ll say it again I see your point your just more meticulous than me lol.Because you might find if you included your labour the $1600 per, may come down quiet a bit.

Each week it is taking longer to tend my patches. It's up to an hour 15 minutes per 15 plant patch. {X 3 patches} That is not counting time to get in and out of the woods. Will take longer when I really have to water. If you counted my time, it would be cheaper to buy.Because you might find if you included your labour the $1600 per, may come down quiet a bit.
