Where is here?! Jesus. $100 an ounce?
Colorado, among other places. Get ready, this is where the market is going.
If in properly sized containers with a 30% perlite mix I’ve heard it’s almost impossible to overwater Coco. What are you thoughts on high frequency fertigation in coco renfro?
I have damn near killed plants in 10 gallon pots with coco by watering too often. So I know for a fact that you can indeed over water coco. It needs to dry some but not as much as soil.
yea did u do all coco because that's a good way to kill plants learned my lesson. just but more perlite in it I guess.
I run 30% perlite right now and have run twice daily fertigations to full saturation with no issues so far.
well don't try 3 or 4 times daily.
Thanks for the knowledge man! What meter do you run?
I've heard grow store operators crying (and rightfully so) that these prices are putting them out of business. Where growing was once a necessity if you wanted any amount of reasonably priced weed (either to use or sell), it is now uneconomical for many, so they have gone from growing to just buying.
Now days you have to have extreme quality with very high yields if you wanna be successful in this industry. Used to be that anyone could play the game but this legalization trend is weeding out all the lesser growers. Even the top notch weed fetches so much less now that most of the lucrative profit that drove the growers is gone. I remember wholesaling pounds black market for many many years with the price locked at 5000 per pound wholesale, I couldn't grow it fast enough. My buyers were selling it at $35 a gram in a college town and tripling their money, going through 15 - 20 pounds a month. Once legalization kicked in, prices quickly went to $2400 a pound, then within another year it was at $1600 and now it's dipped closer to $1000 maybe $1300 if it's banging. So all the motivation is gone for growers only producing 1 - 1.5 # per light of even the best quality. If the quality isn't there then be lucky if you can get $500 a pound, probably just stuck with it. Used to be that you could grow 8 pounds under 4 lights and have $40k for doing it, you didn't even care about the utilities and nutrients, light bulbs and shit, now the same grow puts out $9600 gross, minus costs and it's not worth the hassle. So no longer can a mediocre grower make money. and the good growers have to be on point and the business has to be run like that, tight because the profit margins are way smaller than they used to be. There is also no motivating reason to take risk if your in an illegal state and find your market flooded with out of state weed at $2000 - $2400 a pound. Not enough profit to make it worth going to jail. So yeah, legalization is a double edged sword. I personally miss the good old days of $5000 a pound wholesale and having to keep my head low, but I never got busted and went through that shit although I knew those that did. I just stayed one step ahead and always listened to my gut, never got greedy.
God that looks beautiful. All LED I’m assuming? You didn’t email me yet ;P
Maybe it's different when you're local or have friends or otherwise know people. Everything I got from a dispensary when I visited Denver was drier than a mofo.
If youre smoking a gram a day maybe. They keep changing laws and driving prices up. Unless you want to go chasing deals on weedmaps, its getting harder and harder to get an oz for $100 out the door even on the medical side. I have to buy too much too often to be chasing deals all around the city that often. I personally spend way less than the $100 a week id be spending at the dispensary and end up with way more.
