Road to Riches

You knoe guys ive had a few beers and im not even smoking these days and since im not farming fuck it, i got a question, I know this is looked down on and im sorry to those who are legit, but ive taken my shot a growing and i bailed before i could see any real fruits of my labor mainly due to the fact i received a knock and talk from the police, i was scarred but i knew they wouldnt be knocking if they had any real evidence/warrant, so i told them to leave and they did, after that i very reluctantly filled a milk jug of gas at the chevron and set fire to my babies in my backyard, to this day idk if i could have gotten away with it but ive spent a day in county for minor offences and well pussy or not i realized i could sit in jail knowing the writing was on the wall, now i ask this community very bluntly, if i decide to do this again, will the juice be worth the squeeze, i mean how many of you are actually making enough to make the risk worth while, i see no other real opportunities like weed in my life but idk am i hopeing to squeeze blood from a rock?

road to riches? what do you want to do with riches? buy stuff? come on man........earn enough to live sustainably, and take the rest of that time for you. stay small, earn enough to live, and enjoy. move to MMJ land, if you really desire to grow with peace of mind.

Well, I smoke and grow for personal and dont sell anything. i do give it away fairly often as i got more than i could conceivabley use and i find its simpler to just help out my friends who are worthy of it instead of taking the risk of selling it and all that. People always try to offer me money but i decline. If im really low on cash and i have to sometimes i will accept money offered. something the person and i will usually joke on as i always refuse to take their money even though they insist and on this occasion they won and i accepted it. that being said. Yes, you could grow commercially and turn a good profit and make lots of money. i do not personally think the risk of it is worth it to me. large scale grows result in manufacture/distribution charges. however to others it is worth it so ultimately i think that it is something you'll have to decide for yourself.

Idk bro... Personally I Have been growing (medically with card) but have not made a good profit. I have had a few grows completed so far in the past 2 years, a outdoor and several indoor. It makes me money, but honestly I often wonder if I put more money in than I get back. You could prolly make just as much putting in the time at work. Where I'm from a good harvest From a 1k light (1lb) would be about 2400. Divide that by the 3 months growing time and that's 800 a month of all goes well. That's the same as a minimum wage job part time here. Do the math for yourself. Would you work at mcdonalds for the risk of jail time? Cuz they pay the same unless you really chase the dream

Thats a cheap pound for indoor $2400. sb $3500, what are you growing ,mexican?
Id rather make it on my own as a grower thanks instead of maccas, i would end up dunking the managers head in the deep fry.

Strains: sour strawberry (bog) sour bubble (bog) "blush" aka blue kush (bog) papaya (barneys farm?clone) pineapple chunk(barneys farm?clone) LSD(barneys farm?clone)
Why ya gotta be like that... It's my geographic location, middle of medi-vill maybe that makes it cheaper here idk... Thats a price I could get for blue dream, trainwreak, ad/pak, list goes on... quality goes as cheap as 2k, quality outdoor as cheap as 1800. I was offering the OP some examples from my situation, maybe yours is different then mine that's all.
Growing is a fun and productive hobby that can earn some good money, but I don't consider it something I would bet on consistently paying for all of my wants and needs. Then again my name is growingforfun so it's kinda a good example of my view on it all right there.

I have just about enough money 2 pay my bills etc, but cos of recession, higher cost of livin, n wage cuts, i never seemed 2 have enough left over at end of mth for the small luxuries in life.. so i weighed up all the cons/pro's n was it gonna b worth the risk.. in my case yes.. ive stayed small (6) ,don't have a crimal record, kids all flown nest, wot penalties would i get, etc..only u can answer your own question??

Watch a few seasons of breaking bad and cook meth. Thats where the riches are. But on a serious note, grow for the passion and the love of the plant/culture. Get a decent job somewhere and get by. I think thats your best choice IMO. Growing should be something you do for you, not to do to get by.

Funny, I think a jury of my peers would be less likely to convict someone obviously growing marijuana for personal use who has legitimate medical needs in a non-mm state then someone who is growing it strictly for profit. Maybe you just grow 3 or 4 plants and be happy with the few extra dollars you get from what you don't smoke. If you go investing 10 -2 0 grand in a commercial grow and it gets hot can you walk away from that? Most people strapped for cash who turn to growing cant afford to walk away from that kind of investment.
