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?
What is your cost per gram to produce?

By the time harvest came all I can remember is my tolerance per gram went through the roof

I smoke daily, but my tolerance stays basically the same all year long regardless of quantity on hand.

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.

What about people that do this as a hobby?
I don't fool myself into thinking my gardening time is worth money.

Some people grow pounds in their back yard.
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?

People also need to consider the cost of limited use items like LED lights and carbon filters. Plus any other consumables like nutes, pesticides, boveda packs, etc.

Average £1 a gram 20-30 an ounce.
With bulb and carbon filter replacement about £1.20 a gram.

It just occurred to me there is a high profit margin in growing and selling weed. Go figure.
