    Default Make money growing weed!!!

    I started this thread to talk about how to make money growing weed, hence the title... If your reading this right now it is because when you saw the title you thought one of two things: A) I wanna get rich growing weed! B) Its not that easy, Lets see what this dummy is gonna say.

    Well, those of you whom fall under our first category are gonna be dissapointed! But if you wanna continue reading I will share with you how I live comfortably, Have a continually growing savings account and stock portfolio, all the free smoke my lungs can inhale and live debt free.

    First of all I started a service based business a couple years ago with profits from growing. I dont make a whole lot of money. but I make more than wages from an hourly job would pay. After deducting all my living expenses i.e. mortgage, utilities, insurance, gas, groceries,ect. I only would have about $250 a month for extra money to buy things I want. That dont go far when the kiddos need a pair of shoes or the wife wants to go for a nice dinner. So I started a perpetual grow in the basement. I sectioned off a room in the laundry area and set up two tents. I run two 4'x4'x7' tents. 8 plants per tent, and harvest every other month. I use hempy buckets with GH nutes and get around 3-4 oz per plant. These days its more towards the 4 mark. I run 2 600 watt lights on a single 1000watt ballast with a splitter.

    So every 2 months Im bagging up 32oz. I cut them cheap to ONE person for $250 a oz. So Im getting $8000 every other month, or $4000 a month. The key thing is though that my day job covers all my living expenses, allowing me to save, invest or spend this money how I see fit. Ive been doing this for 3 years now and cant believe how fast you can really accumulate savings if your disiplined enough to not spend it all frivolously.


    So the whole morel of this post is if your looking to make money or a living growing, think long term. Dont think you just need to go balls to the wall and put out 100 plants. The keys to long term success are:

    * Maintain a day job. Even if its a little shitty job. By having a job your blending in with society. Your neighbors dont suspect anything b/c they see you leave for work, and the government dont suspect when your bank account starts to accumulate, as long as you let it happen over time.

    * TELL NOONE ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING!!

    * when getting rid of your product, dont nickel and dime it out. Get rid of it to one person or as few as possible to minimize your risks. Never tell the people you give it to you grew it, tell them your cousin has some crazy columbian cartel ties or something.

    * TELL NOONE WHAT YOUR DOING!!!

    * Stay patient! think of it as a second job! Making small amounts of money over time is alot less risky than a huge grow op. You fly under the radar as long as your smart and careful. Plus I dont know who I could drop 20lbs on at once anyway!

    * DISCIPLINE.


    I hope thins may inspire a few of you out there reading this to take a different perspective when considering growing for a profit to think long term as opposed to that one big score. Be smart and stick to whats comfortable to you and let discipline override your ambitions sometimes and you will be well off in the future. Remember, you cant make or spend money from a jail cell! Be smart and over time you will be rewarded as long as you dont blow all the money on hookers and booze! Set a certain number of how much you wanna put back each harvest and stick to it. Its hard sometimes but after a couple times and you see that acount growing it makes it a little easier!


    Hope this helped someone! Anyone have any questions feel free to ask! Comments welcome as well!

    Does "not telling anyone what you are doing" include posting your endeavor online so millions of people can see it? Just wondering.

    Ya know, I thought of including "not being a smartass, just really wondering" in my post, but decided against it and the reason...nevermind. Don't drop the soap.

    Changes shit big time when the market crashes around you, here pounds are running between $1500-$2500, takes a big chunk out of your profits......
    Good thread though, think you made it look a little easy though, you have to know someone you can sell it all to that you trust to not rob you......

    The market in SoCal is really shitty too. Wouldn't it be prudent to take your late Fall/early Winter harvests and sit on them until most of the outdoor, and greenhouse(outdoor) stock is gone and the prices start to climb again? I know that it's not good to sit on too much weight, especially if that weight is putting you over the legal limit, but it just seems to me that patience could really pay off.

    It is a good idea, and there is rumor of prices headed back up, but if this last year is any indication (not to mention the thousands of illegal ads on craigslist) prices won't be going up for quite a while.....

    Yeah its not that easy thats for sure. It took me about 4-5 years just to build up to this point. Its just like any other business, you gotta build up slowly from the ground up. It takes the person I sell to awhile to move it all, thats why Im only harvesting every other month.

    You should pay attention to this troll. Drug dealers like timmy are ruining it for patients who depend on the med mj just to make it through the day. And you all think the feds don't know what you are up to? Lol. You are terribly mistaken.
