Anyone quit their job to grow full time?

UncleBuck said:

what a fool i was to quit my job to grow full time without investing $100,000. surely i am screwed.

one would have to be CRAZY not to run 20k watts worth of light and grow 100 pounds, as we all know pounds of weed sell for $12.99.

there is no way my 2500 watts and pc fans could ever produce enough for me to be self sufficient. ignore me, i am just a figment of your imagination.

wow a whole 2500w and some computer fans!, bet you grow what 2-4lbs TOPS every 3mo... bet your living the life of luxery, hows your trailer treating yah?

$20 bucks in Nutes $20 in dirt, shit you will be growing pounds for under $100. get your next pay check than quit.



lol my Nutes were over $200 , and my dirt mix is close to $200. And I anit doing anything big..

$300 for a HID light, reflector,balast, bulbs,
you need timers, power strips, light hangers, ph up and down, thomometers, 30x microscope, good ventalation,

If you want to do it as a Job, i would say get a 24x24 garage, with 4 1000 watters on light movers.

i dont get how you paid more on nutes and dirt than an hid?????

I did the opposite, I picked this up as a job since I moved to the middle of nowhere with no jobs.
Figure any revenue is better than no revenue right?

Moving into a house in 3 months, that's when the fun starts... my own room just for growing.

bahahaha

my bills are paid, the beer is ice cold, the golf clubs are in the trunk and ready to go whenever, and my backyard garden is the envy of my neighbors.

what else could i want?

guess you got kind of caught telling your tales out of school about needing $100k to start up, and so now you are just attacking me to feel better about yourself.

good luck with that.

oakley1984 said:

lol you need about 100k to start up to do it for a living
most guys i know growing for a living are doing it in 30x60 + areas, with 20,000w+ of lights and around 18,000cfm of airflow...
not to mention, when you grow 100lbs... you think its safe to sell that amount?

its just not an area of feasible employment without some really crooked friends...

lol is that 100k including buying the house you gonna grow in if yes then that makes sense.............in FL ounces go for $300-400........ ive never grown big but im sure with about 3 grand i could start making 2 pounds a month thats a decent tax free living were im from...............

Depending on where you live you can actually make a good living doing this, but it is a lot of work and time invested. If you already have a room or garage your halfway there. The expensive part will be the setup - lights, fans, nutes, clones or seeds, etc. I know a family that has a co-op and they make a good living off of their summer yields, and it is all legit!

As a wise man once said, it takes money to make money but you can turn a little into a lot

Peace out

you can start a grow opp for under $5000 , mine is about $1500 in to it and I have 1 plant.

your the one who attacked me you dumb shit. and we live in very different areas. a pound of bud here is only worth 12-1500 so with a 100k investment (and ive seen ALOT of those around here) growing 100lbs only yields 140k Before expenses, split that between the 4 guys working the show and all of a sudden your not making very much money are you?

oh and by the way this was never about being able to manage to pay bills you dumb fuck, it was about working FULL time as a grower... something you wouldnt know a thing about.

good shit.

and I think they are talking about good quality weed, not some 12-1500$ a pound shit... good weed goes for like 3,000$ a pound around here easy.

Thanks, I come up with some old shcool shit when I'm blazed as hell

Don't ditch your job just yet, get a few nice indoor grows in, see the returns, make some connections and go from there

LOL ok there Mr.T "i pity the FOOOLLL" hahaha lol really with that.??

Yes im guessing u never had grew over what 5, 6 maybe 7 plants lol thats great. Try growing on a much larger scale 99+ plants and well see when it all adds up how cheap it is

Yep, you need to setup your connections and have an established grow before you do anything foolish!

Peace out

funny, everywhere I read online it says in BC canada the cheapest you can possibly get a pound is like 2000$.
BC canada can lick my nut for all I care quit flaunting it like you live somewhere great, it doesn't matter where you are i'm sure if I grew some fucking crazy bomb heady danks I could get someone to buy it for 3500$ a pound where you live.

go troll some more somewhere else kid.

so your saying you would spend more money on soil and nutes than on light fans and filters????????????maybe after multiple harvest but not initially.

your right ive never had to grow 10 plants at a time i grow for me i got tired of my friend calling a friend then calling his mom to get that FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then they knock on my door with garbage..........other than that i make plenty of money at my job now so dont need to grow massive amounts of pot........but if i wanted to im sure i would not need more than $1500 to $3000 depending on how fancy i wanted to get and how much fabrication i did my self....ohh almost forgot FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

I'm sorry but why does everything revolve around money? You guys are growing for the wrong reasons.....

my whole outlook on growing this, is if it becomes a job all I want is a roof over my head and food in the fridge.
you guys are growing for the wrong color green.

Yes lol i am saying just that, well except the light part. But as for a filter/fan combo for even a 3200 sq ft room you should need more then 3-4 which usually run around 250$ each and there good for a few good months for sure, as for nutes. Say your running hydroponics drain to waste set up with 99 plants. thats gonna be about 175gallons of water every so often. hydroponics nutes are usually 11ml per gallon so if you do the math here 175x11=1925ml 1.92L thats almost half a gallon of nutes And nutes arent cheap so yes it will add up greatly quickly. I really don't wanna be tossing nute brand names on here or prices because there is sooo many different shapes, sizes, prices in nutes. But look up house and garden A&B is about 33$ a liter.

I understand that and good on you for having a good job with todays economy. But many peoples jobs especially in California consist of being in this industry which can also be a very well paying job

right back at ya Mr. T.
