East coast Could easily be 3600-4 fire gas etc Quality zips are 3 easily… I’ve even seen the effects of this inflation bullshit too lol..
Where are those 8-1200/lb indoor mids you speak of. Sounds like what I was quoted on dep the other day.

Colorado is also in a drought. 65% of the state is in either exceptional, or extreme drought. Oregon, and Washingtom State are also in a drought.
According to a U.S. Drought Monitor map published by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the 11 states experiencing extreme drought conditions are New Mexico; Arizona; California; Nevada; Utah; Oregon; Washington; Montana; North Dakota; Colorado; and Wyoming.

What?, it's not even worth growing; let alone trimming and curing for that price.
GTFO out w/that cartel shit.
Has to be outdoors. Otherwise there’s really no margin transportating it from the west

We get some really good OG Kush here in North Eastern Ky from Colorado, and it retails for $2200 an lb. $240-$250oz. It super choke. Good stuff. Gives some people anxiety. Long lasting.

But you can only run outdoors once/year, unless you're near the equator.
There's no margin period anymore for that pricing, that's $37.50 an ounce; what I used to pay...in 1982!

It costs me about $150 to grow a pound. Street weed is $250 an oz. Dispensary weed is $400 an oz.
I'm no math wizard, but there appears to be an absurd amount of markup at every level.
I save thousands of dollars by growing my own and I know it's clean. I will continue to grow if weed ever gets dirt cheap on the retail level.

$150/mo for me on electric X 3=$450 plus all my time.
Plus a bag of sunshine medium = $500/lb.
It’s possible. I’ve seen weed sell for 50/oz 150-200lb but there’s something generally wrong with it (seeds, old, burnt, improperly cured, etc). Outdoor at 600 is pretty plausible though given that people shy away from outdoor grown weed.

Your electric cost per light shouldn’t exceed 40-60 per light per month depending on your cost per kWh and that’s running hps

Ok let’s select local “high usage” (indexed on property history) $0.42/kWH.
A 1000 HPS draws 1300 watts once you include ballast and fans.
So 15 kWh at .42 is an extra $6.30 a day which is more than triple your high estimate.

If you buy in quantity its even cheaper. Don't be mad at me I didn't set the prices. Was just answering the question. I neither buy or sell it.

$2600 for a lb of top shelf fire around here. But what most people in this thread call top shelf is mids. If its truly some top shelf exotic then it will always hold its value.
Check the dark web for reference. You can get $800-$1200 lbs all day and everyone calls it fire and best value on the dark net. Then get a $2800-3500 lb from a vendor and peep the difference. 90% of it ships from Cali. Theres just a huge difference of what people are calling fire and what is truly exotic top shelf weed. It's easy as hell to grow weed. It's hard as hell to grow good weed.

I've never bought a pound of weed but from my calculations, if I were to grow a pound of top quality in house genetics I would probably want about £4,000

Not my lights, I supplement HPS with additional UV bulbs designed for iguanas.
Plus there is added electricity for climate control, and a separate veg room.
No expense is spared, so that all products are organic; and of better quality than dispensaries.
