Papa, the way I see it if you don't have the connections or the money then u got to be realistic about the green dream. The market is so super saturated and well established for any newbies to break in seem a slim chance unless like I said you got that connection or a lot of money to play with. You really need to find a career that will make you good salary to buy that house you want and then focus of your love of the plant as a second or third career. Its like being a stuggling artist, musican or actor.. ITs a very competitive filed to crack into when there are so many people trying to do the same thing you are. If I see any big possible breaks to help you out, I will shure to let you know. Good luck.

this is a lie . even with pounds @ 1000$ direct to caregivers 100lbs will buy a house and invest substance to any farm based bussiness venture... just gotta go bigger and harder now then folks THROW money at your "idea" oh selling any annual for 500$ a lbs even paying 200$ to trim it is a HUGE margin for the real big players .... who are NOT involed yet. and could destroy all our "dispenso heros"

hope and dope are what i am all about@Joedank, that gives me hope.What kind of mushrooms are those?
those are mostly chantrells , the bigger ones are king bolitus or porchini if your italian all found about 10,000 feet in colorado...remember folks NEED farmers and land stewerds now more than ever ... of all types . even the dudes getting "rich" in the 90's could hardly spend it fast enough to make it worth all the risk of owning the land the grows were on... investors are pussys just write a good bussiness plan and you will get all the money you want . but then you actually arent your own boss anymore...

i'm 55 years old and have been making my living for over 20 years growing money trees !! been all broke up from commercial fishing all my life and then uncle sam puts all these rediculous quatos on us so it basicaly put us out of buisness but being a farmer i can grow year round between maine florida and ca. i can live comfortable and its all cash lol... and there are still alot of land /house owners that will take cash and do owner financing.. with all the fisherman and different ports iv'e fished out of all up and down the east coast i could'nt ever grow enough to flood my market with greenbud and we grow a fair amount not bragging just if ya got the will you will find a way . these days i fish 2 days a week but farm 7 days a week which is better dollar wise ???
It could be. I'm chopping my furthest along today. Probably could go another week. But with the rain, heat and general mugginess coming why risk. If your not heavy into flower shouldn't be to much of a problem

You know, I have never grown more weed then I can sell...even in california I never had any issues moving buds even in croptober. Shit, usually I end up buying pounds of other people to keep from every turning anyone away. I have made choices in my life that leave it very hard to land a "real" job (Assault charges), and I see many many of my peers that are my age with 50k in student loans barely getting by on the salaries. that and honestly, I have 0 desire to slave away for some company profiting off me.

Low-mid 90s and dry dry out here, the plants are loving it. My plat GDP grew about 5" all around in 2 days, maybe the 20 gallons of worm tea "sludge" had something to do with it!
Shit 1k a lb should be good enough for a skilled grower. Taking home maybe 60% of that will give most people a comfortable lifestyle.
These are a few days old, that first plant is at the top of the cage meow.

@papapayne, I'm right there with you man. I somehow avoided getting into debt. I am 31 and I grow #1 because I love watching this plant grow and like working hard and learning more about it. #2 to help others, I don't need to smoke. #3 money, I don't grow much, 2-4 plants a year, but that little bit helps. Keep working at your dream, when you finally get it, and you look back. You will see it was more about the journey, not the destination. Once most people have there dream, they look for something more, never content, always wanting more. You could be happy right now, and enjoy what each day brings. Having a dream isn't a bad thing, just most people feel they will only be happy when its fulfilled. See that each day you choose to be happy or sad. No matter whats going on, your the only one with the power to make that choice.

I never finished school. I learned a few trades, worked like a dog doing construction and fencing for a few years.
Opened a business, worked on my credit, sold my business and bought my first house. Wasn't much but it was mine.
I did a few huge plants, cashed out and put the money away and repeated that a few times.
I bought my second house at 34 years old for $135k it's now worth 280-315k but if I didn't grow I would still be living in my first house. However I'm not dependent on it, it's just the cherry on top, especially helps the pocket when you don't have to buy herb, it leaves money for other things.
I plan to sell both houses soon, in the next two-three years and buy a house with a small vineyard and a little land to grow my food and herbs.
No flashy stuff here, used, car used truck, live like I'm poor, cup of noodles for dinner but have everything I could need etc etc......
I got my credit up with a Home Depot card, and a few credit cards, just use the fuck outa em and put the money back on. Everything you would buy with cash but could pay with credit, use the card and put the money back on it. In order for this to work, you must have the money to replace what you spent.
This means with a $200 dollar credit card, go max it out and put the money back on. Do this a few times, and make sure you always pay back what you spent except maybe minus a few bucks, before you know it you are eligible to "raise" your credit limit.
I got a lot of my stuff for my grows at homedepot on credit, was gonna use the cash anyways. They raised my limit from somthing like $250 to $5000 pretty quick with the method I was talking about, spending and replacing minus a few bucks.
I don't have a lot of money to blow, however anytime I was going to spend money anyways but could pay in credit I did.
If you have credit cards and you use them but do not have funds to payback credit used, it does not help your credit, if you have credit cards but do not use them, it does not help your credit.
If your credit is "bad" or you have "no credit" you can always start with one that will let you pay a required $200 security deposit that gets you a $200 initial credit line, if you want it bad enough then be responsible, no new clothes shoes, 60 inch tvs, rims flashy cars etc etc....I could have an brand new corvette but i chose a old pick up truck and a house.
