Growin for income question
    #18838753 - 09/13/13 08:52 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I have a 5.5'x6' closet with an 8' ceiling. I want to produce 10lbs per month consistently. Is it possible?

Very nice yield, im wondering if a fully auto martha gh wouldnt be quicker, more long term and less work, cleaner method of producing pounds dry and increasing the amount of flushes per colonized tub.

How much you pullin in per month using them monotubs?

I prefer monotubs to a GH even when you're growing a lot.

It's just easier IME.

If you've only done one tub, don't bother trying to do it commercially.

SR maybe.. But you'd have to undercut some poeple that have been on there for awhile.

I know some places in VA where you could move 1-3 lbs per month

I don't sell mushrooms, but if I did I know where to get steadily get rid of as many mushrooms as possible, up to like 10lbs+ a month from one person.. Plus I live by a place that has hippy festivals all summer long where you could get rid of a lot of them.

I've tried SR, and you need like ~$400 bond to get started + prices on there have plummeted the last few years cuz the few current sellers on there sell really good quality stuff for quite low prices.  You wpould seriously need to lowball to be able to compete, the profits margins would be pretty slim.

Possible if you have exceptional genetics and enough plants. You would also not have to smoke a lot of it. Account for failed crops, pay electricity, and pay for all the nutes and shit...

Possible but having a background job while doing so would make it easier.

I have a buddy who used to produce a few pounds a month about a year ago, but he was hooking folks up w nug too and decided the profits/ work werent worth it compared to his large scale nugslangin profits. So now his shroom market is a dark void growing bigger every day. Another friend is a member of a nufarious motorcycle club. He can take lbs off my hands by the month as well. Both are trusted friends whom i have known for years. If you plan on moving this kind of weight, you need to know the right people for sure. I can even get away for 12-1400/lb so the profits are there. I could enjoy this awesome hobby and make a legitimately staggering income from a bit of elbow greese applied meticulously in a closet. Its really pretty low risk with the amount of customers i have (2) and the fact that they are trusted friends who will be making profit off me and have no reason to stop the money from flowing in. Also never underestimate the amount of weight that can go at festivals... Ive seen a pound gone in 2 hours at a local festival here in the midwest.

Sounds like you have the clientelle. Develop the skills. One tub is not experience.

I love you number five. Keepin it real. Thanks brosky the honest truth is you are right. One tub is not enough. I am fascinated with the process as a hobby, and also money motivated to get it right. So hopefully this next big grow wont be too rocky with the help of my experienced friend and the fine folks on this message board.
But i know there will be mistakes. Thats the beauty of a hobby, it aint easy off the bat.

Which makes the fruit sooo much sweeter at the end. :tongue2:

Word of advise,. I produce about a half pound every month with a single large monotub.  I think 10lbs is implausible and over doing it.  First off,  you would need several large tubs and alot of resources speaking jars and substrate..  if you were to work tirelessly for a day or two,  you might could fill 1-2 mono tubs..  then try gotta think drying equipment and trash..  ever picked a full canopy of cubes?  Not really that fun.  Imagine doing 10-20 by yourself?  Won't be easy and would be very stressful.  Now think trafficking.  You need clientel, but you don't want your name out there as being the one growing..  there's alot of factors.  Think smaller OP and don't count on it as a reliable source of income

10 lbs per month is totally doable for one person. It would be a decent amount of work, but with the right equipment it's possible. Most of it is waiting.

i gotta go with number 5 here, #10. The harvesting of a canopy is the best most fun part of it all! Literally picking the fruits of my hard labor was the best part of my first grow. The drying will be a little cumbersome but well worth it. I can accomplish a hell of a lot more than one or two monos from a full tireless day of work...

I think the longest part would be pasturalizing the substrate if you choose to go that route.  Also depends of the size of the mono tub.  If you wanna give it a try then go for it. Not saying its impossible just a lot of work. I use horse poo and it would be hard to collect enough to many large tubs at once, much less getting everything pasturalized in the course of a single day.  But hey, go ahead and try and let us know how it goes

Growing 10 lbs per month/month and a half would be tough, but not unfeasible if you had the space. Moving 10 lbs per month and still making money would be a lot tougher. Fuck being a street dealer at festivals, that's an awesome way to go to jail.

Best way is one or two connects you fuck with once a month max.
