Mushroom Money Bag

I just found out, after spending thousands of dollars on grow equipment, electricity and clean water... that if you are looking to make money, growing cubensis mushrooms is about 1000% cheaper, 100% faster, 100% less maintenance and 100% easier to grow.

Does anyone else agree with me here? i cannot BELIEVE how many boomers ive harvested off of 12 tiny cakes, and i havent even done my first flush yet.

Also, as boomers are sold as doses... usually 8ths weigh out at 2.5 to 3 grams depending on how potent they are right?

Where I come from an 8th is and 8th at 3.5 and no other weight

have you dried your yet? im curious on how much youve gotten so far.

28/8 = 3.5

Seriously dude, what the fuck. Potency? Like that's even easy to gauge... sell your eighths straight up at 3.5 g's or you look like a fucking douchebag...

And yes, no shit, it's a lot easier.

How about you go back to the marijuana section.

OP, yes mushrooms are easy to grow, try bulk substrate, its where the money is at.

or make choco bars..... say there's an 8th in each one, but really only have 2.8.... That's an asshole move

I normally put 5gs in there and say it's an eighth... FUCK people up!!


I do agree shrooms are easier to make money on. bud is too hard for me to grow high quality. It's much easier to just buy bud in bulk for profit rather than growing it yourself. Shrooms are super hard to find here, so they are a goldmine.... I've seen eighths sell for 60.

I said it makes him look like a douchebag IF he sells short eighths. Are you saying you disagree with that? Nice one bro.

Also, I've been growing shrooms for over ten years. Not that I see what it has to do with it. How about you stop condoning thievery? Shit. Don't throw that holier than thou shit at me because you lurk in the hallucinogens section of the site.

Edit: I may have been a little terse, but I don't like the idea of people gauging an 8th based on THEIR SUBJECTIVE OPINION of potency. That makes sense to you I guess?

the reason why i say 2.5-3 grams is because every single time i have ever bought an 8th of boomers from someone, i weigh it out and it has NEVER weighed more than 3grams... ive baught from a lot of different people... and ya know, whos to say that every one didnt rip me off? but alas, it definitely didnt feel like i was ripped off because i get pretty high off of the mushrooms i have gotten from other people. so that is the reason why i said that.

i dont want to rip anyone off, but i also dont want to ruin anyones time by giving them too high a dose resulting in a bad trip and less costumers.

just that ive always heard mushrooms dont go by weight, but by dose. as i have heard the smaller mushrooms (pins and aborts) are REALLY potent for their size. i hear aborts are stronger than pins, though pins are stronger than mature mushrooms.

now i could be completely mistaken here, im fairly new at cubensis mushroom growing.

"for example "eat 3grams or pins/aborts compared to 3grams of mature fruits, you're going to trip much harder when eating pins/aborts. does this sound right?"

They were ripping you off. That's just the fact of the matter. Weight is weight. That is why it is measured in weight increments. All you have to do is warn people that htey are very potent. An eighth is not "a dose" an eighth is an eighth. Many people dose a gram at a time. Or 2. Or 2.5.

This is like saying weed should be sold according to it's strenght. It just doesn't make any sense. If I buy an eighth of shwag, I expect to be told it is shwag... just like if I buy an eighth of headies I expect that the dealer will be selling it as "an eighth of headies" and not "an eighth of commercial crap"

I'm not trying to be a dick here. This is just logic. TELL people what you are selling them. If you think they're really potent, sell them an eighth and say "HEY YOU ARE GETTING A GREAT DEAL, THESE ARE REALLY POTENT. ONLY EAT HALF OF IT, SPLIT IT WITH SOMEONE."

There is NO reason why you cannot provide dosage information WITH the sale, if you know how potent they are! If you KNOW, why would you hide it? The only answer is: Because it will stretch farther and make you more money if you do it that way. Don't be that guy.

That is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. HOWEVER, it doesn't justify non-information! People should be INFORMED about what they are buying... not ONLY in terms of potency (or "doses" as you're putting it) but in terms of weight. BOTH PIECES OF INFORMATION.

10 bucks a gram sound good then? (merely asking your opinion-no need to be douche'ee about it)

*right, honesty is what i base my life upon, and if im going to sell someone mushrooms, i will include all information... aswell as information about different ways of comsuming them: lemon tek for example.

People take extremely varied doses... a two hundred pound person will not react the same as a 100lb person to the same amount... To think that you are in charge of how large or small of a dose someone takes is a bit absurd. What if I just wanted a tiny mellow buzz and only take .3g at a time? You're going to short change me because in your opinion 2.5g of your shrooms is the perfect dose?

An eighth means 1/8 of an ounce. An ounce is 28 grams which makes an eighth of that 3.5grams - whether that is 3.5grams of shitty shrooms or amazing shrooms should have no bearing - well perhaps on how much you charge per eighth but not how much an eighth weighs.

If your customer weighed 400lbs would his "eighth" be 6grams? He's going to need a much larger dose...

right, so does 10 bucks a gram sound good to you? (merely asking your opinion)

Yeah, 10 bucks a gram is reasonable if selling by the gram. I usually don't pay more than 20-30 an eighth, though, if you're doing it by eighths.

Sorry for being douchey, I just needed to drive home how critical a point it is. It sounds like you got the message though.

BTW, not being a dick, I just want you to understand why I felt the need to be so fervent: To me, what you are describing is the equivalent to like... deciding you have some really fire weed so you can just sell the guy 1 gram instead of an eighth of it, but call it an eighth. That dude will NOT be happy, even if you tell him it only takes one hit to get ya high.

word, that is understandable. not looking to rip people off, just looking for information so i dont do exactly that. this is the first time ive done this, and the reason why i started this thread is to gain information to better my understanding. i appreciate your advice, and information given... but do not appreciate they way you presented the information.

"criticism should always be constructive, not merely negative"

It was constructive. And the negativity was because the initial post made it sound like you WERE planning to rip people off just because everyone else does it that way. Sorry for offending you.

apology accepted, and i also appologize for the misunderstanding perceived

thanks bro

Well it was mostly my bad on the misperception. I just have a sore spot for thieves so I got uppity when I thought I detected one. I hope you can understand that, as an honest man yo'self. So no need for your apologies, and thanks for taking mine.

Rep for being a cool dude about the whole thing. Don't get caught.

Very diplomatic of both of you. Props.

I'd say $10 a gram sounds decent but it's been a while so what do I know.
