Ok,
So I may have smoked just a little too much already this morning and I am bored ...... so ......
The going rate around my area is 10 per gram (which is actually close to what I paid in highschool thirty some years ago). That's for Mid's ..... the top shelf stuff can go for 15-20 a gram depending on where you go. But even the schwagg around here is still really good. So, now that I am growing my own ...... for me. I started to think about how much I have invested in my weed. Is it actaully cheaper than 10 bucks a gram. Or, am I paying premium price (growing costs) for my own home grown stuff.
So far, I have 400 or so invested in light and fan. 130 to build the box. Another 200 or so for pots, screen, dirt, nutes etc ....... probably into setup about 600 bucks.
But, until I get my first harvest and can divide my cost by my yeild ..... I'll have no idea how much my own bud is actually costing me. (not that it really matters ..... un-Kiefed, organic, home grown is always gonna smoke better .... regardless of my cost). I'm only growing three plants right now. But, my grow box has room for 6-8 at a time. For me, my cost of equipment ..... and my available growing area may be a little off. Since, I wanted to and need to keep it small. I could have gone bigger for more plant per equipment cost. But, bigger in my case isn't neccessarily better. Plus, I'm in WA state and I'm legal to grow 15 ..... and want to keep it that way. So if I grow 6 at a time and keep 6-8 clones getting ready for the next batch, it keeps me inside my legal limits. Which takes "getting busted" out of the mix ..... which keeps my wife happy.
Anyway, I was just wondering what it's costing others to grow thier own. By cost .... I mean per ounce or gram ..... or something like that. Just wondering if anyone else has bothered to do the math (not my strong suite).
So, lets say I get an ounce each from these three plants (which would make me so happy). If I were to get an ounce from a dispencery, it would cost me 300-350. So, for the 600 I have invested in my setup, the first two ounces would pay for itself. The third ounce, would basically be free ..... and every ounce after that. With the exception of electricity, water and nutes.
Does that sound about right ????
Anway, sorry for the long rambling. The Maui Wowie I used to wake and bake has really kicked in. Now, I'm up and chasing random thoughts, bored and trying to start some conversation ..... LOL.
Somebody please chime in here so I can stop typing ...... LOL
