The prices are so expensive..Makes me want to grow my own..Go out buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment, spend a year or two learning how to grow a crop of high grade meds in large quantity(learning how to use nutes, and sups properly), dealing with spider mites, fungus, mold, pump failures, etc. Spend 5-8 hours a day tuning, and retuning everything. Every day no weekends, no vacations. Dealing with the hassle of cops, and neighbors, and people checking meters, and kids, and anyone else that walks by. Dealing with the smell. Spending an extra 600-1500 a month on electrical bills, 90-150 on CO2(thats just for refills), re buying nutes, and sups...dealing with crop failures, and low yields, high temp(over 75F can kill with all those HID lights, CO2 generators, etc..)...and on and on..friends ask, "can you kick me down another OZ?" "oh, and yea sorry I told half of the valley about what you do", "sorry the cops came by, or those guys that broke in"..
Getting shit for selling half of the meds for 4200 a lb and giving the other half away to Cannabis for cancer victims or people with Lupus(anonymously). So you can afford to do it all again..When all said and done you made the equivalent of 4.25 an hour and have some pretty decent meds that might barley last until you finish the next crop..or you could pay 60 an 1/8th(or hell, get something slightly cheaper that still works at 45 an 1/8)..or not...; )
