the doom and gloom in here is just getting comical. since when did this community just step aside for suits? Sad to see so many here scared of a little competition/money and playing in the real business arena.

Oh homie I'm not afraid!!!!! Bring the competition I will do my best and will be sure that the cream rises to the top. I'm just being realistic is all, at the moment and for many years growers have enjoyed a monopoly of sorts all while making an obscene profit margin those times are rapidly ending.

So @QLTYlab you're right, not time to give up just time to become realistic and learn how to operate with proper margins.

yes. but these guys are running around like crazy in my state....., like the housing bubble, everyone wants in because it free money if it works. generational wealth for those holding 22 grow licenses and longer term servicing 13 million people.

in 5 years or so u will see massive, massive grow operations in my state.

how much will these cats be making. ?

Do you work in the industry? Or have more insight then just being a grower? No one is 'rolling over' here just foreseeing the future and making plans or they're speculating based off of the industry in their community. You seem to be the only one arguing here, everyone else see's the direction we're headed and are planning.

u see them on the forums now, asking basic questions. no clue but plans of starting something big....... many try at all levels and they normally fail then go under. many peeps hit colorado a few years ago with one million in hand, 8 pro growers later the small warehouse is collecting dust and the million is gone also ....

nobody should be scared but they should plan.

they will pepper the t.v's with ad's about unsafe, untested black market canna ....., forced testing for anybody selling it legal big or small, testing for chems or whatever, spot checks in the name of safety, just added cost .... regulation.

Good! testing needs to be standardized.

Ohhhhh Sea, we certainly advise those with deep pockets and you would not believe their inexperience with cultivating. They fight us on every aspect of the build because they have no idea... What are lumens? pH? ppms? VPD? What should my temps be? What's the difference between growing with vertical bare bulbs or horizontal? It's obvious the failure rate will match that of start-up restaurants.

well they can test for chems at this point. indeed, your talking a couple hundred thousand just for equipment, lab workers, then it needs calibration ( regulation again ) , the cost for everything is massive.

all your delivery cars tied in gps with state police. different routes taken every time. truck breaks, first call goes to state police .... stainless steel kitchen for extracts, more inspections for quality, electricity, so much shit .... so many workers needed for all of this.

Everyone here works in the industry in some form and yes I do. I am arguing in order to fight for a future that isn't selling out to the highest bidder for a comfy job. Would you rather just have a bunch of members agreeing with you? I thought this was a debate. Keep going in your direction, it isn't the one everyone is taking as you see it.

Testing equipment has and will get much cheaper. Labs will become competitive as we are seeing with more opening up. I still don't see how all of this is a bad thing just because its not a free for all anymore, it is no different than many industries operate today.

I believe that labs will soon be laid to rest due to the iphone cannabis testing app that is coming to an iphone near you! Testing will take seconds and be able to be done in the palm of your hand, hey there is a great idea for a new business!

Why would they see my direction? Not many have access to the information I do.

its like every industry.

how much equipment will be needed if you are testing every lb. ? and you have a greenhouse thats 12 acres long 4 wide ..... ? how many workers just for testing ? how big will your co2 extract facility be or hash ? just for the side shit ......

I find that the whole notion of Corporations cranking out AAA Fire meds to be
a bit funny.I'm not saying they couldn't do it,or don't have the capability, or won't do it someday,but......
Once you have a corporation,that is publicly traded on Wall Street with public investors,the bottom line is always making the most bank every quarter,for the shareholders....This seems to me to be at odds somewhat with what I would consider producing AAA quality product......

This is a great thread @GR33NL3AF ,and it will be quite interesting to see where it all ends up in a few more years..
I'll say this,it's gonna be interesting for sure.

I agree though,a change in Administrations in DC could put the game on hold for awhile
I doubt many of the biggest of the big boys will get involved until the Federal laws change,and the FEDS assure them their investment is safe from seizure,and forfeiture......

Well look at the price drop already in colorado and cali in the last three years......

People forget 90% of the everyday smokers do not give a crap about history or names ...... they are not snobs on a forum every day talking seeds ect .... in these economic times we live in money talks and everyone will buy the cheaper buds ....

Should be interesting as waayne says .....

& waaynes customers are spoiled by an A+ grower .... how many peeps really get the top shit ? the rest, they will smoke cali bud and get fucked up regardless & wake up & drive into work.
