What is your cost per gram to produce?

I never thought about it until now. All I know is it's thousands less than buying it. But surely some of you have cost per gram figured out?

I figured if I sold it for $4/g I would be making less money than working at Mcdonalds. Time and labor is hard to put a cost on. The nutes and light bill aren't much but the hours tending a crop when I could be out making wages determines whether is is worth it or not. Whenever I hear of weed that is$4/gram or less it isn't the type of weed I like to smoke. I think the floor is in.

For me its about $300 a grow for 6 plants....

veg 60 days 24hr...

2 x 125 watts light = $40
175 watts fans / humidifier / in-ground swap cooler = $37
100 gallons distilled water / bulk = $25
6 new 5G cloth pots = $12
#2 perlite 1cf = $14
soil, compost / free from COM, I do lots of work for them

total $128

flowering 70 days 12hr cycle

2 x 250 watts light = $97
240 watts fans / humidifier / dehumidifier / in-ground swap cooler = $74

my time = priceless

total $171

veg / flower total $299

output...

30 - 34 zips of classy buds...
06 - 08 zips of popcorn / finely trimmed trim

But that's all a ballpark figure because I give away half the bud I grow to my fellow vets, and other people, as I know they simply cannot afford it, I am a registered caregiver, so that truly matters to me.

YES! This is what I wanted to see. I am rock hard right now!

How are you getting 42 zips out of six plants? Are you a wizard or something?
