Electrical, nutes, supplies, equipment, self labor, harvest labor… there’s more to it than you think.

There isn't more to it than I think, been doing it over a decade now.. that's why I said it depends on if your paying people and counting your own labor as a cost. My electric was under a grand a month for 12-16 units a month. Only cost besides electric was Rockwool blocks at 2$ a pop and nutrients which I never really keep track of, I get a bag of calcium nitrate, MKP, Potassium Sulfate, Pekacid, chelated traces, and some others when I run out, but its pretty minimal.. equipment is an upfront cost, once in a while something breaks but again its pretty minimal. If I was using bottled nutes yeah it'd be a bit more.. Im still confused when I see commercial grows using 55gal drums of bottle nutes lol, I always assumed they just got it at cost or maybe some incredible deal or something to promote the brand lol

also, with droughts/climate change/inflation/supply chain disruptions, the price of fruits and vegetables is skyrocketing at a time when cannabis prices are plummeting. so, why not operate as more of a caregiver (even if illegally), providing patients with variety pack ounces AND $1/lb produce

Maybe Im misunderstanding you. Are you saying that you'd sell your hard earned work for $1 a lb.?... and IF I am.. what would you sell "variety packs" at?

Depends on the size of the op. I, personally bought 6 gallons jugs (x's 3) for the Flora Trio line, but I did this because it was cost effective... Bulk buys = cheaper price per gallon.... it just makes sense.

I think I lost ya.. my question wasn’t why they buy in bulk, it was why they’re buying liquids at 100x the markup of the dry salts they’re made from..

Yeah. You lost me. I can buy bulk for $21 a gallon, or $35 for individual gallons. Why do they charge $105 a month for DishNet?... because they can. It's a business like any other business. Capitalism just doing it's thing.

Over your head again.. the question isn’t why they markup the product they produce, it’s why a commercial grower is buying liquids in the first place lol. How much money in nutrients per pound of harvested weed are you at with bottled nutes?

My biggest question right now is how do you only have 11 posts, but 1511 reactions. Is there a flaw in the Matrix, :bigjoint:?

No, that would beat Uruguay's dollar per gram program! haha. I'm saying, sell variety packs + produce (fruits, veggies) at $1/lb. It's my take on being a caregiver. Veg indoors, bloom in greenhouse. Also, grow produce in there. Quoted myself below where I may have stated it more clearly:
