how much is rent on the grow space?Let's see, I grew 18 OZs in my closet, total cost, around 550.00. That was the first grow and included the grow light, 125.00 the seeds, 40.00, the exhust fan, 80.00, the water growing (Bubbler) system, Built my own with a container from wally world- 7.50, the baskets, 8.00, the water pump, 39.00 the medium, 15.00, the cooling fan, 22.00, bubble fittings and all that entails, 30.00 from a fish equipment store, chemicals 60.00, and about 100.00 worth of pure water. The second grow, 22 OZs plus, cost me the water and electricity, lets call it 200.00. Now once the equipment has been paid for, the cost per pound settles in to around 160.00-200.00, Bigger grows cost more on initial set up, but the electricity to LB ratio cannot pass the 100.00-200.00 mark, even in CA I actually barely noticed the difference in the electric bill as I have to run full on AC and the pool pump in the summer, about 250.00-300.00 a month. Had I sold the pot at the exhorbitant prices that you dudes do, I could have paid all the electric bills for the entire year and had money to play with. I gave most of it away to my appreciative friends and sold enough to recoup my expenditures, I did not rely on the sacred herb to pay my mortguage.
pot is not my only income.
But for even what many would consider "extensive" personal use, 25 sq. ft. is quite sufficient. Perhaps not desired, but still enough.
