ok so i just watched this show, and when they talk about mendinicno county they say whole houses are used for growing, then it cuts to a grow op in the woods with 4 rooms approx 25x40. they said the op was making millions a year. im sorry but I just dont see it. While i only grow for personal use. Is the business really THAT lucrative? or is the media just blowing it out of proporytion like they usually do?...in a 10x12 room packed with plants according to them it can produce hundreds of thousands of dollara...I am sorry but i believe the media to be liars...mabye a 50 thousand in 3 or 4 grows...mabye i dont even know... or people nickel and dime the whole crop.. i dunno thoughts? how much money could a 10x12 room produce?

You could get 50k from a few plants outdoors. Its possibleto get around 10lbs per plants if they know what they are doing. And those guys out there know what they are doing.

if you look up on some monster grows they put out a shit load... i rememeber reading this thread on here about someone in australia that grew monsters for the fun of it and didnt smoke that much but handed a lot out... and when it came to harvest he got tired cutting it all by him self he burned all the leaves branches and all smaller lower buds in a big bon fire... he had like 3 plants each putting off like 5-7 pounds each.... i u veg indoor during winter and then put outside in the beginning of the spring.. man u could get some monster fucking plants.....

Well depending on where you live and if your up to date with your area's price per pound then yes without a doubt you can see how money can be made in large amounts

Thats a laugh. a 10lb dried plant would be a 10ft tall Sativa that takes 6 months to flower. Thats not something your going to see inside. Also I think most media reports like that are basing it on the street value per gram; but a grower of any scale doesn't actually push their own product so they sell for less then street value and let some runner do the work. Million bucks would be possible, but no way all those cats are pulling that much in.

the media usually reports dollar values in terms of street value. the media loves those big numbers.

If you want high yeild you wouldnt want a sativa, and we are talking outdoors.

Heres a thread on icmag that features TomHill and Butte, they both share plenty of pictures of 10lb plants, have a look for yourself. Also FDD grows some monsters over here.

i think i saw the same show on msnbc or (some station) anyway if i remember correctly it said something like the grower makes $2300 per bow here in tx you can sell it for $6000 to $7000 maybe even more. A cat tried to sell me a zip of some trainwreck for $500 (wasnt even all that and it was the homie) i can see how you can get upto the millions fast maybe not the grower but the middle man or the dealer could, within the the industry theres millions being made. Ive seen 30 bows sitting on a table straight from cali so someone out there made a lot on one trip. So it is possible.
