WTF you going on about? I know nothing of the weed market outside of Canada so I don't comment on it and even for the most part outside of BC as West Cost, Central, Easter and even Atlantic have had prices differences all at once but I know the market where I am.
2 week veg and 8 week flower, ok ok say 11 weeks for 9 week plants. With 25 lights most of my customers can get 50LB Dry from those 25 lights in that time frame using DE bulbs or 680W+ LEDs This is pretty much the standard now for anyone who has moved on from MH/HPS HID lighting to DE
4 hours every two days means you go in to your grow room and water, clean up the plants and adjust what needs to be adjusted. on 36 lights I use to water, defoliate and other shit in about 2.5 hours.
50LB dry = $30,000 CDN (at $600/lb) take out 10K for hydro/clones/nutrients/soil and hiring trimmers. A set of

Hell even back 12 years+ in BC if you got busted by the Green Team and you were clean and not already on the radar they would take the plants, destroy the equipment and then leave.
if you think that $600/lb is not worth it you'd make 10 more posts about the Canadian market if I told you how cheap some of the Asian communities sell their weed for and how little they'll make on it yet they have their own huge market.
2lb per light
Hydro say $140per bulb per crop with ac/heater overhead that's $70//lb
$3 for a clone if you buy them
$10 for nutrients per light Plant Prod MJ set will set you back about $500 tax in and will do 3 crops on 23 lights but lets you it'll be 2 crops on 25 lights.
$40 to trim each light say you pay $2000 for someone to come in a trim the plants after you hand dry them.
$1000 for promix so $40 per light in soil.
