Rolling benches, utilize more space. Benches shift a foot in either direction, to open up a 2" aisle for working.

Does anyone think that with future legalization (America anyways) that the prices of cannabis will eventually fall to a price point where the cost of firing up these rooms ($$$) cannot turn a profit? And can you turn out the same quality with a high tech greenhouse with all the gadgets and operate it at a fraction of the cost...to where its profitable?

In say a 30 lighter Gavita room..with the air conditioning..and the rest of the electrical costs..from small plant to harvested..trimmed..dried and cured flowers sitting in a jar on a store shelf (or wherever else) what is production/operation costs per pound?

hope you got a business license. You could get all that gear 50% off
Its not initial cost of equipment. In the grand scheme of things..thats a drop in the bucket. Its operating/production costs monthly/yearly... relative to current/fluctuating market prices of cannabis.

I think when the smoke clears and the cash grab is over growing grass will much like home brewing beer and wine. There will be some home growers trying to break out and do something commercial but it will be just as easy for anyone to grow there own boutique Flowers.

It's already happening as the overstock or tested negative commercial that dispensers won't touch is finding its way into the illegal states. The high grade commercial is better than the cartel weed we got when we were kids pre 90. But it's not better than what someone can do in the comports of there own home and not as clean. Where would you rather buy your grocerys Kroger or the local farmers market ?

This is not a dig at itmehigh! He is doing some impressive work and the results speak for themselves.

Complete 24 light room build can cost upwards of $50k, depending on bells and whistles. production cost per cycle aprox $0.50 per gram. Room will pay for its self and then some in 1 crop, ( 3 months) Average 2.5lbs per fixture. Cost per pound $225-$250.
