It should be a good business until all the wannabee home growers find out it's not so easy and the market gets flooded with slightly used grow equipment but then there's another opportunity buying it back at 10 cents on the dollar and flogging it to the next nOOb for 25% off retail. :D

Bookkeeping is not for me. I'm a hands on kind of guy that is more comfortable dealing with physical objects rather than a bunch of numbers. When I worked as a chemist in a hazardous waste facility they offered me a job as a supervisor and I turned them down even tho it was twice the pay. I knew what those goofs were like and I'd rather be down in the trenches with the boys.

The hydro store thing is just an idea I think is worth looking into and something I think I could be good at. If the business doesn't pay off I'd be screwed but I've been screwed before and not looking to get filthy rich tho a decent income would be nice. Got nothing going on here and little opportunity to get anything going. Not to mention I have hated living here for at least a decade and pretty sure that hate is killing me slowly and the main source of my chronic depression tho that stems from being near beat to death by a big man with a hammer almost 40 years ago.

I'm pretty sure that if it becomes legal for anyone to grow 4 plants at home next year there will be thousands of Canadians wanting some free pot. Or what they perceive to be free pot. I'm also pretty sure that the average person would love to grow a few of their own plants in the house if the threat of home invasion by our protectors, jail and a criminal record wasn't part of the scenario.

The lotto tickets aren't going to cover my retirement so got to do something.

Maybe it would work out, just investigate it and make sure it's actually profitable before risking your house. Sounds like you have enough problems as it is without also being homeless.

This is good, because the Govt stupidly made weed legal to sell between Provinces. Now BC companies can flood the largest market, Ontario, with outside weed and teach Canopy a lesson about selling out to US investors like BlackRock, which I think you'll agree sounds very evil, probably owned by Arabs. Why else "black rock"?

Look for solo farms on youtube (brownguy420). Pretty sure they are doing everything the presser claims they will have. They will probably even go solar because the power company won't give them the juice they need.

It's either a pretty bold lie or total ignorance of the industry they are investing into... Or both.

Gotta love retail too can be utterly dreadful at times but the market is vast and bigger then most think once culture shifts abit.

Probably be better off making nutrient solutions. Nice and simple, mix a bunch of stuff together and slap a label on it. That's actually the only thing I need the stores for. I also buy seeds now and then but damn sure none of the other overpriced and generally useless stuff in those stores. Pretty much everything else I can get from conventional sources a lot cheaper. Say you want some lighting equipment. A hydro shop is the last place you'd want to buy it from, because it would be jacked way the hell up. Basically they're sucker shops for the most part. People may have been willing to ignore the prices when weed prices were high, but now those shops are a needless extra expense.

What I would really like to do is set up a small lab just to do testing for THC and CBD levels so guys like myself can get accurate results for plants they spend months growing out only to be disappointed with the medicinal qualities of it. If I could get a test like that done now for $100 or less I'd jump on it. Keep the moms and grow out some cuttings for sampling and then know for sure. Once you know you can blend pot with different levels to get the ratio of THC and CBD to what you want.

I bought a gram of a hi-CBD strain from a compassion club in BC last summer and liked it in the pipe so bought 10g to bring home and make into cocobudder. It had been lab tested and was 12% CBD, 7% THC so almost a 2:1 ratio. 1.7:1 actually. Was far and away the best medicine for my arthritis of anything I'd ever tried. The buzz was more like being tipsy on booze or like the buzz from the demerol the doc won't give me any more. Really pleasant and like the stones of my teen years when everything was funny and you really felt happy. Chronic depression is the other main thing I use pot for and it killed that. Two birds with one stone there. :)

The strain is called Sweet Skunk CBD. The LP Tilray has it but they only say it's +CBD and <15% THC. Not too f'n informative from a so-called medicinal pot producer

Big problem is getting the financing to set up a lab like that. Looking at a minimum of 250G I'm pretty sure just for equipment. I doubt very much that the bank is going to help. I have a diploma in environmental chemistry so should have no problem getting thru the training on needed equipment and becoming certified. Hire a chem student to do sample prep if it gets busy and I could prolly let them take left-over samples home for pay. ;)

Another pipe dream so might as well load the pipe and see if I can come up with any better ones. bongsmilie

Find out where John Berfelo (YouTube channel) got his HPLC unit from. Maybe you could work out an arrangement.

Anyone can get those units but if you don't know what you are doing the results will be wrong.

Yeah I noticed later that they're not even that expensive now, a few k. I don't know how much demand for tests there would be though. If it's that easy to get into then you'd think there would be plenty popping up.

I guess it could be a good business, depending where you live. Supposed to be over 10% annual growth over the next few years apparently. But as this article says, you have to hire chemists and stuff. At least you probably do if you want to be able to "certify" results.
