Hmmmm, sorry I didn't answer your question D, is there maybe a way you could rephrase it? I didn't mean to say that cannabis growers and commercial agriculture were on the same scale or both capable of the same low production costs. I just meant to convey that we are all growing plants that eventually reach a consumer for consumption, and we can draw a few parallels between our industry and larger agriculture in hopes of learning a thing or two about efficiency in production and quality control, since our costs are rising and product value dropping like you said. With that said, growing cannabis indoors can be done successfully for way below what most growers are spending right now because they are using way too many over priced nutrient inputs, the solution to the problem you say growers are facing is that simple. I do agree that some breeders have there seeds priced stupidly high right now, but if the market supports it I can't say it's too high. Personally, I am joining you on the clone monocrop wagon now that I have gone through all the seeds I spent money on last year!Haha not really the answer I was looking for but whatever man. We can in no way shape or form compare indoor cannabis cultivation to growing commercial produce. We're not talking about preserving fresh apples here...we want our cannabis dried slowly, cured and ready for sale/smoking. Residential electricity prices, store bought nutes/supplies/co2/equipment, high mortgages/rent, etc. all prove that quite easily...we pay full price for EVERYTHING to produce this and most of us do not have the luxury of commercial rates/prices on utilities/nutes/equipment, not to mention the tax write offs. You're talking in terms of full on commercial agriculture which I understand as that's what you're going to school for but it's not a valid comparison imo. As I'm sure you know by now, it costs a lot of money to do a run from seed to smoke...well from buying seed to smoke if you really want to break it down. The prices have plummeted in Cali so it makes zero sense to spend more time/energy on it's production than we already do. This is actually causing growers to do the complete opposite and most of the product you see in disps prove that.
We've gotta think of cost vs return in mom and pop corner shop terms here man...not commercial ag.
Just my .02 brotha. ;)

Thanks so much NT, I have been trying to post more info because it seems like there are more than a couple people these days who actually read my super long posts!Amazing amount of information here! Great job Meester Wizard
Thanks LG, I got some minor clawing yesterday on half the plants. . . . was bummed about that but think they should all be ok, growth is still very rapid. This is still shaping up to been a great crop as long as I can keep the nose from diving over the next week. I had a very relaxing weekend with great weather, thanks for the positive vibes!Looking nice and green as always, Meeks. Hope the weekend's being nice to you!

Thanks Pura! It's nice to hear that even when I am growing edibles, they still look like ornamentals! :D Studies have actually shown that consumers care much more about the appearance of their produce, than they do about the taste!Those tomatoes look so damn good
You flatter me JLR, I hope that my contribution to the farm helps others get as interested and enthused about growing all kind of plants as I am!Hands down the most interesting thread on the farm. Your above and beyond anything here at the farm Meeks and I for one appreciate everything your trying to do as far as enlightening the community, please keep it up!
