I'm in my late 30s, only been smoking 2 years, once or twice a week. I'm located in the midwestern US in the cornbelt. What I don't understand is....what's all the hype about how wonderful pot is ? What am I missing, if anything ? All pot does for me is: 1) makes me sleepy 2) makes me eat too much and gain weight 3) the stone lasts maybe 2 hrs. off 4-6 good, deep tokes. Is that all ? 4) I've never felt high, just stoned, like I drank a half pint of Jim Beam-a downer. No euphoria or "high." Just the want to eat then sleep. What good is this you can't stay awake to enjoy it ? I smoke and go to bed by 9:30 on Sat. nights (whoo hoo). I have the "bible" by Cervantes...I get from it that indica is a "stone" and satava is a "high" Could this be my problem, I'm getting indica type weed ? Growing: Here a quarter oz. sells for $50-$60. That's $3,200 on the low end for a pound. What's $3,200 and the risk of getting caught ? $3,200 aint shit money. What am I missing here with this ? I've thought of growing but do the math: 1) 3 months to raise a pound indoors...and a lot of plants to get that pound.... 2) For all the work and RISK...that's only $1,000 a month GROSS (not profit) *At my real job I make $6,000 to $10,000 a month gross-depending on sales* What am I missing here ? Tell me again how great pot is. I want to grow and make some extra $$$ but I can't see it making sense from a business standpoint...not enough profit in it as far as I can tell. What am I missing ? "The Bible" makes growing look like hard work that will take some $$ to get set up in properly. Feel free to hit my email...it's available via my profile on here, not hidden. What am I missing or is everyone but me too burnt out to see it my way ?
I dont know too much, but once you get your setup going, it isnt too hard to maintain or too expensive to keep up, so u have weed producing which u barely put money towards, and which u can sell. If u sell it all at once, its alot less profitable then selling Gs and 18ths to buddies here and there. and u smoke for cheap.free.
ya it is definatly indica dominant strain your smoking since you get tired so quick. I ussually dont get tired till the end of it and then I go to sleep or smoke more. One youve used it alot and enough you will be able to take that like it was nothin at all. Sativa is a more up high is true so if you like that kind of high you could grow some of those.
Perhaaps you outta re-read that book and pay special attention to perptual harvests.With multiple flower/veg rooms you could harvest that 1lb every month or as frequent as ya desred.Being as you claim to make so much $ per month at your job,why take the chance?I think you already answered that ? with the claim of your existing income.
I do make what I state and claim it all on tax records...but about 40% of what I make goes towards over-head for my small business...so it's not all "glory" as you might think. I read the perpetual garden part..but I don't want to get into having it on hand at all times. Also, with so many people selling today and the cheap price in my area...$50-$60/qtr. oz. I'd think the market would be glutted with sellers and not enough buyers or am I stupid ? (I'm new remember). Since I haven't liked the quality of the smoke here, had 1 good qtr. in 2 yrs., I was thinking about getting some GOOD seeds, like White Widow etc. I figure if I can provide GOOD stuff and not the run-o-the-mill crap, that I might be able to command $75 or more per qtr. Is this whacked thinking or true ? I know the type of growers we have here and I'd say they just grow whatever, never sex their plants etc. i.e. sloppy burnouts who grow and sell low quality stuff (see my original post this thread). I thought maybe by gaining a rep as having hard hitting "good shit" I could command some customers...people I know as chronic heads..never a NEW client. I understand that satava (high flying, not stoned/drunk high) grows better outside, too tall for indoor. All I have is a very small indoor closet to grow in, thus I can't grow satava (I guess...haven't started my grow show yet). I have lots of other questions too...about hash making, current midwest/Cincinnati/Dayton Ohio prices for hash etc. Can't get hash here so I thought maybe I could fill that niche. Hit my mail if ya want.
Why do I smoke 1-2x a week ? B/c beer makes one ill with the same amount of intoxication. That's one thing I can say for weed, I can get messed up as much as I want, and 4 hrs. later am normal and sober again with no hangover. Not so with alcohol.
Buddy the larger the amount u buy the bigger the profit should be, we pay $50 a querter oz here and a pound can go for as low as $1200. Isnt it the same like that over there?
A p for 12 would be middies around here. Good indo nuggets go for 25-27. Headies go for outrageous prices, really outrageous. Other places in america don't have it so well though, 3500 seems to be going rate for indo nugget in a lot of other places. And to answer the poster's question: Marijuana isn't a big money-maker unless you've got a hell of a lot of space to work with. Getting a pound from fresh plant to dried, cured buds is normally a LOT of work. A lot of growers don't grow for the paper, and the ones that do generally do a shitty job at it.
Yea thats for sure, up here in the Sierra's, a quarter of chronic runs like 85-100 and a zip is 300+. Unless you know someone who can get some kind buds from Cali. for cheaper, thats the best your going to find here. Lot's of money to be made if your into the business.
Thanxxx guys and gals. I may try growing after all, at least 1 or 2 times. I have Cervantes' "bible" and think I can follow his detailed plan. I was thinking of getting white russian seeds. I only have a closet about 5 feet high by 5 feet wide, so I need a low, squat but VERY potent variety. Ideas ? Suggestions ? I am in the midwestern US and it is winter here, so no outdoor growing at all-too risky in the summer !
cervantes indo bible must have been written under the influence of somb of that bomb indo lol... it seems sort of unorganized at times, like he's just going off into random direction. Maybe I'm just not on his level heh.
good weed will give you a high lasting 4hrs if it is sat dominant>60 to 70%< and will not make you 'tired'. any weed purchased is liable to not be 'good' inthat it often is:1) seeded, kiefed, improperly (or not at all) dried and cured and what else whatnot!! growing your own should only done for quality and if done for any economic considerations, will disappoint one way or another. b1
