I know a lot of people here live in Cali, so I wanted to ask about growing medical marijuana. Just as a preface I do not smoke or nor a pot head. One of my friends is moving out to California in 2 weeks and invited me.

He said that you can get a script to grow 99 plants and that's what he is doing. Today he asked me if I wanted to come and grow some with him and that I should expect a minimum of 50k profit in 3 months. Does anyone know the validity to this?

[Theme 8]

it doesn't work like that lol

[Quick6EF]

I don't know anything on the topic, but anything that sounds too good to be true (ROI in 3 months AND 50k profit??!) it usually is...

[E92TTKING]

what is this script and where can I get one...

[AngelinIsRich08]

I don't know Cali's laws regarding pot but I'm fairly certain he would need a license at the very least and I doubt he'd get one. You can't just randomly start growing weed and make 17k a month.

[tHegeRm]

State License Required.

Prescription allows for personal use growing.

[E90SoFlo]

Yeah you cant grow medical bush, then just sell it on the street, you need a license and a storefront and you actually have to be a dispensary

[Kiemyster]

nope, i dont think it works like that. disp. are only allowed to grow a certain amount per year i believe, and majority of the weed is co-op grown i believe? so thats just people growing on their own, and bringing it to the disp to resell at essentially low/nonprofit margins....

This is how I understand it works when I was looking into this. You bet your ass as soon as NY legalizes it im going to own all disp. in queens. DISCOUNTS FOR MY BOYS AT BIMMERPOST YOOOOOOOO

But hey, if you can afford the outrageous licensing costs, then do it. Ill be sure to drop by, and if you need ANY help whatsoever, im only a plane ride away

IM sure CollinsE90 is also more than willing to lend a helping hand. Good luck OP. Please let us know what you do on the BMW bud smokers thread

There is profit in it, considering the cost of "growing" it is very little compared to actually "building" something.

Ill come up to queens and we can have a car show infront of your disp.

yeah dawg. Im gonna lock down the queens market. I dont care about anywhere else. But south queens, is MINE. My territory for sure, no amature is gonna even have a chance to compete with my disp. Im going to go on some next level shit and do things USA has never seen in terms of bringing in foreign/unknown strains into production with a full organic grow setup

Bimmerpost members def. will be invited to a special pre-opening sampling session to try my iced jam. yerrppp where my boys at?

[CollinsE90]

As far as growing for personal use, you can have 8 mature plants, and 8 you just planted at any time. In order to get that amount(99) of plants you need a license as a company. 50k is reachable if grown outdoors which will yield bigger plants and more product to sell. Or atleast in a facility you can allow the plants to grow as much as they need to, but if he stated 3 months he has to be talking about hydroponics, which yields much less bud but will be ready to sell in a shorter amount of time. Sounds like your bud doesn't really know what he is talking about, and most likely is a newb at growing too, which will probably yield low quality bud and not bring a lot of profit either.

Before I invested in an operation like that, I would want to see how well he can grow and see atleast one crop finished to see if he knows what he is doing.

[AngelinIsRich08]

I have a friend who one time bought a baggie full of seeds off his dealer for $5. Then he grew it and had over $3k's worth of weed. But the second time he grew it someone found his spot and stole it all, including the soil. Lol.

talk about a fucking transplant! LOL!!!!!! back home, if someone steals your shit, they dont care if its grown or not, they take a machette, cut the fuckers, throw it in garbage backs and roll out. You can then find your product being sold in port of spain within a day. LOL

[CollinsE90]

^i really don't believe that unless he was growing mids, because high quality bud rarely has 1 seed in an ounce, and if it was high quality bud he just got the seeds from over a long time, those seeds could have been sold $5 per one. And mids doest yield 3K worth of bud, especially if some of the seeds would have been males.

100% +1, but remember, he said his friend thought he had 3K WORTH of weed. According to his friend though. Assuming it was soil grown, and being generous, each plant gave you dry 2 dry oz's, non feminized seeds so his success rate would be rather poor (say 1/10 plants). The chance of the males breeding your females ... i can go on with my list. but you get the point

CollinsE90, your weed still has seeds in it? I havent seen a seed in years. And i see 2oz a week minimum. lolll I WISH I GOT A FUCKING SEED! FUCK! to paranoid to mail order that shit.

[RedBarron]

He said he is buying the seeds from some place and the seeds alone run a few thousand. As far as the kind he is growing, I think it's supposed to be kush and purp. supposed his cousin has been doing this for the last 2 years and brought home 50-100k in around 4 months.

I got one seed in 2 years when I was smoking, it is very rare to get seeds unless it was some shit bud.

Has this guy ever grown successfully? and if so, how many times has he actually had a good batch. This is whats important. What kind of hydro setup? individual EBB site? or closed grow cabinets? is he using carbon filters? what does he know about lighting? How much watts per plant does he intend on using? what nutrients for the plants? what kind of base matter are you using for the hydro? considering aeroponics?

this shit gets much more complicated to pull it off right. Ask him all of these questions, if he hesitates on any one of them I say dont fuck with him. these are the easy questions.

OK you just confirmed the dude is full of shit

1st if he is growing and crop is done in 4 months that is bullshit, only way to do that is hydroponics which yields way less bud but it grows faster(100k would need 50+ pounds). hydroponics plants yield about 2 ounces per plant, calculate that into how many plants he would need to yield 50lbs

2nd of course the guy states purp or kush, the most generic thing to call bud, so he doesnt know what he is talking about

3rd seeds dont cost that much, $200 bucks could get him 100 seeds(female) of white widow(one of the best strains available)

sorry to hurt your feelings, but your friend sounds like he is full of shit

[Kroy]

while i'm not as skeptical as collins, because i feel some of what's been told to us is based off of OP's knowledge and i can tell OP doesn't know the topic well. without knowing what the setup was, i would say 50K in 4 months is doable. i'm talking about just gross profit. there are a lot of expenses for growing, asides from your setup (costs thousands of dollars to properly equip yourself) you'll have a raging high electricity bill from lights and cooling. this is why you always see in the news how drug dealers tapped the power line to hide their usage and steal electricity.

the business itself is really semi legit. you're protected on a state level, but there are still gray areas. one of such gray areas is logistics. you can't transport pounds legally iirc. i forget the exact weight requirements. since your friend has a connection, that should take care of the other sticking point, selling. how much you can sell your product will depend on buyer and quality of your product. if you as a grower screw up (and if it's your first batch i'm sure you will) you won't be able to get top dollar for your grow.

just remember, even if you try to go completely legit, there's still a chance you'll get busted. or have your good confiscated. also, remember to do your personal taxes correctly. that's usually what they'll get you for.

Not necessarily skeptical(I mean 2 grand for seeds is way to much), I just know to get the amount of profit this guy is stating, he needs outdoor grown bud unless he has hundreds of plants. And if he has that many, he already has a major operation going, sounds like the guy is just now getting into it and doesnt know what it takes to bring home that kind of profit. Also, DEA can walk in and take all of the plants, they wont bust you, but they will confiscate the plants right from you. Taxes will be paid to state and federal or they will get your ass too, keep everyone happy and you wont be messed with.

It is definitely possible to bring home 50k-100k per crop, but it has to be done by people who know what they're doing, and have done it in the past.

PS, everyone in Cali thinks they can grow. Also, how will you be selling it, because if you just sell it to dispensaries you will sell wholesale, if you plan to move it on the streets, you need people who already have clientele to move it.

As far as im concerned, a bag of 10 of the best feminized seeds go for 150 US a pack. Fuckin DEA, just got to be friendly with the boys in your hood. Buy lunch for their whole office a couple of times courtesy of your grow OP and hopefully they dont come knocking down the doors to take your plants, but they just come to say thanks for lunch. I would hope.
