MY actual cost per ounce RIGHT NOW is $12.00 per ounce and that covers all electricity and nutes and soil. Everything else is paid for. I have a well so electric is all I pay for water. My electric bill goes up a total of $75.00 per month for growing. Good herb on the street here is $45.00 to $50.00 a 1/8th. The club we had once still wanted to charge $60.00+ a 1/8th. The difference was a steady supply without dealing on the street. The local police chief sited that 215 was never suppose to be used to make a profit and called the feds to shut them down. Your only suppose to recover actual cost was his actual statement. Not make a profit. Driving a lexus while a patient is searching the couch cushions and selling blood for enough money to buy a gram is criminal IMO. Sorry...but there isn't anyway I will ever agree that $30.00 or more a 1/8th of any cannabis will be considered a great deal. It just ain't going to happen with me. I've run the numbers and know exactly what I spend to grow a ounce and I'm being 100% honest about it.

Are these results collected through outdoor cultivation? If so, I'm sure your estimates are correct. Unfortunately, unlike Shasta and other lush, herb growing counties of northern california, the central valley and southern cali. dont exactly provide the proper geography and/or space to reap the rewards of high quality outdoor. this drives local suppliers indoors to cultivate medication of the highest quality in a stable environment, where the cost of electricity will cost much more than $ 75/mo.
