But it's more than that, isn't it.
You would not be the only one trying to do this. Many, many people will try this, thus driving down prices.my indoor costs me 37¢ per gram including all yearly costs.. we sell expensively say $20 ag cause we have bills to pay (I don't sell my weed usually and when I do at brick prices) but they charge so much to be able to make a decent amount off the relatively little product being pumped out...about an acre can support a thousand plants if slightly tight.. outdoors it costs much less than my 37¢ per gram.. but what if I could produce 5lbs off one plant. 5lbs per plant at a dollar a gram is $2,240.....it costs an outdoor grower much less than 30 cents per gram..but I'll use it for simplicity and also because if I was growing indica and able to throw an extra harvest per year I could cut my 37¢per gram by 9¢(my indoor crop including all yearly spending is 37cents growing landrace sativas not maximizing my shit) And before i grew indoors I grew year round in west tx so I know its possible....this means that this same profit could be seen off commercial indoor grows
So that leaves me with $1568in profit per plant..... ...1,568 could be cut to- paying for trimming at $500 per plant...$1,000x1,000plants .........so a million dollar profit off potentially 2 acres or just under at $1 per gram...so you see how scale effects prices...of course depending on how greedy you are ..I am eagerly waiting for texas to go legal as I'm sitting on 10's of thousands of acres. Farming is huge out here and I expect local "farmers markets" of weed to be somewhat profitable but like everything else in the world it will be dominated by those able to produce quality product and have the pockets to pump it out. Now this will drive the market and companies to diversify themselves. I imagine curing practices and flavors etc to become marketing strategies and we may see huge advancements in cannabis cultivation like we have with tobacco or other produce
I'll be happy receiving ¢50 profit per gram... and could easily become rich at that price point
Yeah, there is the large element of satisfaction and enjoyment. I hardly buy veggies between April and October as I grow them as well. Not just to save the money but for the flavor and varieties we can no longer buy
Do you mean not worth it for personal use, or as a means of income?
I know of different size growers.Excellent points guys, and thanks for the comments. I was discussing this issue with a friend and many of you touched on items I didn't even consider.
Obviously, most of you grow for enjoyment first, and price would have no impact on your choices. But there are growers that operate purely on profit, and need to make money to support themselves. I was mainly trying to probe that population, and see if there was some threshold price floor for smaller operations.
These responses definitely make me more excited about participating in these forums
oregan has the cheapest dank in the country.... 100 an oz... for sick ass ooutdoor!!!!! and sometimes even sick ass indoor......
I should have clarified, I will always grow for myself...even if it costs $200/oz to produce. Someone here posted a production cost of 38 cents/gram, my electric cost alone is more than that. And right now I'm running Malawi, which takes a solid 16 weeks as opposed to the standard 8. So no, if I were to sell it I certainly would not go less than 200...unless it's a terminally ill med patient who could not afford it otherwise.
Now. Theynpsy premiums and don't argue weights now. I'm pretty sure that would change if it became so readily available to people because of legalization. Look at alcohol. Kids don't argue this or that when gettignfg alcohol underage, they just slip the guy a few extra bucks and they're sorted. Not to mention have you ever sold to kids? They want to split a gram between the group, pay you in installments, in change. S friend and I tried this once, its impossible to move any form of weight.
