if he has five patients its not :what is an ounce" its what is 5 ounces. well, what five ounces is, is about a pound every three months. every harvest. you clearly have no idea what your talking about so just stop.

hic, i wish i was on your side here but a 400 watt setup for $210 bucks will fill about 3 pots and cover about 3x3 ft square. you will pay about 100 in electric for that one light in 3 months and after three months of no nutes you will maybe reap about 3 ounces. thats an ounce a month and three total and it cost you over three hundred bucks, one hundred per ounce and it wont be quality with a 400 watt and no nutes.
bottom line ....if you want free meds, find a caregiver who is new at this and is offering an ounce free per month. be prepared for frustration as the caregiver begins to realize how difficult it is to offer an oz a month for free to each patient.
find me someone who has been giving 5 patients a free oz each, each month for a full year. i need to talk to that guy.

When finding new patients, what is a good selling point? Do you offer any monthly perks? Edibles? Or from your experience are most patients just happy with quality medicine?
Lastly, I will most likely be going the Sativa route for one strain (probably a 14-16 week Kali Mist), but I'm not sure how to justify the added time & cost. Is it fair to ask for different donation amounts for patients, based on the flowering times of the various strains? Given current trends, what might be a fair asking donation for a four month flowering strain, where I'm assuming a two month strain donation might be around $200/oz.

bottom line people like free. i suppose that a good selling point would be free. anything free you can offer. i, however am not interested in panhandler patients. i want to fill up with five patients who ALL pay for EVERYTHING they get from me. my bottom line is 10 a gram. its truely costing my almost that to grow it. if they want 5 grams i want 50 bucks and if they want 2.5 oz i want 700. i just paid an electric bill that i neglected the mrevious month. it cost me damn near 800. i spend alot of time gardening. damn near all my free time. all the meds i produce are killer. i spend good money on soil and nutes and packaging. one year i spent my whole 3k tax return to get started.
some people want to do thing illegally by getting patients, offering free meds (otherwise they wont get said patients) and then selling the rest of the meds (overages) on the black market or to other patients who arent registered with them.
so people, if your looking for free meds from your caregiver then your looking for either a)someone who operates illegally or b)someone who is rich and extremely generous (willing to pay hundreds a month and do all the work for free) and has alot of free time.
so next time you say "your caregiver SHOULD give you a month for free, they are your plants" think again. your wrong. you are asking someone to do a job and either not get compensated or to get the money illegally.

This viewpoint is from a marketing point of view (looks silly/unfair to the uneducated patient, who doesn't understand the variation of flowering times) or from a legality point of view (marijuana is marijuana and medicine is medicine, so "forcing" different donations from a patient for their medicine is troublesome)?
I'm really curious, because the thought of having a fairly unique Sativa like kali mist (perhaps even as a selling point) just appeals to me - especially since the Sativas can be used for things like anxiety and depression from what I understand (I have limited experience with the actual effects of Sativas).

if thats the case you would be charging more for better meds or more exotic meds, or for your extra time and effort in treating certain ailments. but not for longer flower times. IMO

Are you on crack? Ya I do know what I am talking about. You can easily run a perpetual cycle and pull a lb. per patient down a month. Obviously if you don't know this you are doing it wrong. So ya an oz. per month per patient isn't anything. You are caregiving for them. They are your patients. You shouldn't run up the bill on your patients. You make it back in the sell off of overages. I work in a dispensary and I grow for patients. I know what I am talking about. If you aren't making enough during harvest to be kind to your patients, it sounds like you don't know what you are talking about.

Costs well under a hundred bucks to run a lb a month,unless yer an idiot or retarded.
I get kinda pissed off at some of the scumbag shit I see so called caregivers spouting outta their fuckholes.
Seriously if you can't make a profit off 100 a oz ya should not be in the caregiving field.

I get it dude, the shit ain't free. I know this. But if you are doing it right, it should just take care of itself. I am far from rich, I've always been poor. I am a caregiver for 3 other patients including myself. The standard rate I give them is that their 1st oz. is free. The second ounce is 250, and if they need more than that it is 400. I don't know what kind of patients you deal with man, but mine are far from rich, and they actually NEED the medicine for various conditions. I am very happy to be able to help them. It is a job, but I kind of look at it like I am helping people and that satisfies me.

without calling people names (i know its hard for uneducated, arrogant trash) explain to me how its "well under" $100 to produce a pound a month? i run three lights and my electric bill alone is over $300 a month.
i seen your journal, you grow in tents.

Ya I'm with rzza on that one. I'd like to know who is producing a lb a month for 100 dollars. Maybe outdoor on average after harvest is done, but not indoor.
