You have to think about the operating cost. You have to pay for seeds/clones ,soil, nutrients, water, electricity, gardening equipment, etc plus it's going to be some months between planting and having cured product for sale. Then factor in having to deal with the consequences of a cultivation charge in an illegal state.

A few years back I grew outdoor with guides from forums and ended up with 5 OZs dry from 2 plants but I'm sure professional grows yield Way more


Brudda was that you yeeears ago that gave me that guide? If not I need you to pm ya boi.

Do you have to feed the plants fertilizer for it to flower & how long does a plant take to flower . Can you turn a male plant into a female & can you identify a female seed by looking at it

Not how you would think. We put nutrients into the water.

About 2 months

No

And no

Hermaphrodites are such a fukking pain and can ruin a whole room. At that point everything gets stripped and sent to production.

A year

Maybe more money but I was just over it.

Spectrum king and another brand I forget, but they were metal halide

40 lights per room

Veg was 3-5 weeks

Strains kinda gives away my company and I don’t wanna any problems or claims to intellectual property in the future

Damn, all those smells you experienced. That shyt would haunt my dreams :wow:
Old grow i had this mixed strain from female seeds that would give off a tropical tangy sort of smell that was most pungent just before the lights came on. Can't imagine a room full of hundreds of plants, got dang!

Dr. Who was my favorite strain :wow:


The scent of that harvest room when Dr. Who was coming down :ohlawd:


Fun fact. On harvest days, the smell permeates our clothes so heavy.


We walked into Walmart and dude said he could smell us halfway across the store.

It was fukkin ridiculous

@GUWOPPERS how does the industry look from a management perspective? Do you see a lot of growth (don't ask me how) in the industry, and are they bringing in outsiders or is it inside baseball?

I can't understand why any smoker living in a legal state wouldn't have a little grow on the side. That shyt growing before your very eyes, come home and the leaves in the lights :wow:
Did my small shyt on the low with CFLs. Now Walmart don't even sell em. I wonder if folks have success with them cheap LED bulbs? Never even got out of the soil medium. Matterfact I might have to cop a 600w hps/mh rig just to keep on standby

Growth is crazy. The only curve ball is gonna be federal legalization. Big business is gonna crush everybody IMO

Because It's a new industry a lot of outsiders, you just gotta know somebody.
