How much does it cost you to produce one pound of herb?

I know everyone's costs are different depending on many variables, but what does it cost you to produce one pound of herb? What's your set up, and how efficient is it for you?

Feel free to post pictures of your set up, or better yet, the product you grow in your set up. I'm mostly interested in quality over quantity, but am curious about both.

The standardization of production costs will come with legalization. No matter how much we attempt to avoid this conversation.....it looming.

Please excuse me...what's been done exactly? The standardization of production costs? So then...it should be a pretty easy question to answer, no?

What I believe you are alluding to is that perhaps some of the most prestigious dispensaries, and ones that set a standard for cost and production, are only a front for multi-million dollar cannabis operations? So, if this is what you're saying you're basically saying that the producers should work off this multi-million dollar cannabis operation debt so the customers can then pay it off?

Sounds about right.

Is that the total cost of production including labor/time?

So, say you have a day job making $13.00 an hour, wouldn't one then calculate their time at $13.00 hour and then calculate that into the cost of production?

And what quality grade are the finished flowers? High grade? Mid grade? Low grade?

Well depending on what im growing it can go from 29-38cents per gram. Including all yearly costs.
All air going in is purified everything in the room is sanitary. All organic at the moment, make my own soil....and in the process of automating everything
So yes its very well taken care of-high quality

As for labor i always gave street price equivalent Or get my girls to do it for free..theyre surprisingly optimistic

And how are you a well known memeber..damn

Yes that includes everything, time, soil, nutes, electricity,clones,pots.
For harvesting I pay one ounce per pound ( mostly popcorn ) I hate harvesting.
I don't grow anything but top shelf.
I have it down to science so time and labor is not really an issue...maybe a four hours a week.

About a pound of sweat.

indoor for me was about 800 per pound @ .13 $ a kw/h running supp co2 ,hot soil ,and one to three feedings of age old . top shelf for sure pics are in my threads if you give a shit.
outdoor it really depends on if i am paying down my house note by charging myself rent .
with rent included and 40k a year for myself (40$ per hour cuz i work 20 hrs a week.
cost is 1100$ per pound trimmed and out the door . BUT i get 1800-2200$ so my llc might be able to hire a helper this year....

$76.35 (nutes, hps bulb and reflector write-off, electricity, net cups I dispose, and 35 cents of water).

Not including trimming, or other trimming. I can't afford my hourly rate, besides that much of it isn't labor but relaxation.

we should take all these numbers to the dispensary and tell them to stop charging us $1500 a pound.

amirite OP? think they'll do it?

A lot less than it would cost me to buy it.
