I only browsed the first page and the last couple, but you have my compliments. Whats your overhead per grow? Have you ever run a comparison between lots of little plants vs fewer big plants in relation to money consumption? I used to run 10 plants in 3 gallon air pots in soil. I found my nutrient overhead dropped 45% when i went to 3.5 galllon hempys. Also lost the cost of new soil as i was able to constantly reuse my perlite which results in a 94% drop in overhead.

I buy 3 part AN PH perfect line 1L once every 2 months. at 47 bucks per buy i spend roughly 60 bucks a month in nutes and electricity. I have a end run of roughly 10 oz per month. So at the end my smoke is costing me less then 5 bucks an O.

Edit, i did not account for my yearly bulb purchase or the bag or perlite i buy every 6 months or so. (i lose just a little perlite per plant)

My overhead is about 100 a month. That is power, fert, and blubs. Power is cheeper here, i use a lot of compost so ferts last a long time, i recycle my dirt so all and all it is 4 - 8 x less than buying weed for me and the wife. We smoke alot;)

I am now at the point I will reuse my soil. I bet I am around $100 a month average cost now. I am not sure what my average take is yet. Will see if i hit 3lb's or 5 lb's this run i know i just passed 3 lb's and if they go 2 more weeks i should hit 4lbs which means it costs me $400 after the investment of pots and equipment. My costs will go down as i wont be running the ac next month that saves $10-15 month.That means its $6.25 an oz. wow that is way less then I would have guessed. But i must also make up the costs of equipment i got a couple grand into it over all.

I just started two hempys. How do you reuse the perlite? Is there a trick to removing all of the old roots? And 5 bucks an O. Jesus!!!! I'm at like 3 - 5 bucks per gram. I am doing it wrong. Well either that or it is because my electrical costs $0.22 - $0.30 / KWH. Very expensive here is SoCal.

I do big plants if i did 3-4' tall plants I would be like $20 an oz. i like to fill an area good. I did a test with smaller plants and I dont care for that at all. i might get 1/2 oz to 1 oz from each small plant. for the area they are in its not efficient enough for me. If i did smaller it would have to be scrog.

The biggest draw back for a indoor grower out west.i dont think doobie's is that bad. I could handle living in oragon. If my trip is nice out there i would like to see him next and check that area out:-)

I just shake it out of the root ball then rince it over a screen. I do one at a time. It doesnt get every little piece, but good enough for reuse.
