As a red card holder in CO, who grows his own, I would say the reason more don't do it is because it ain't easy lol..... not to grow good weed. It took me a few years to get decent and I did a ton of research (engineer by trade.... total head case when I get onto something). For sure if you want to try your hand, don't go by new equipment.... there's more used equipment available than you could imagine from folks that gave up when they figured out it isn't easy.
Having said that, I do have it figured out now finally. I flower six plants at a time, which keeps me within the letter of the law, in a light dep custom greenhouse with supplemental CMH lighting... tricked out to the be hell. I spend most of my time on thcfarmer in the CO medical forum.
My current girls are almost ready, about another week or two to get the fade and swell right. Stopped feeding a week ago, so starting to get the colors coming in now. Range from 7' tall to 11' (I have a tall greenhouse haha) and I think a couple might give me 2# per plant....

I'm on this forum cause I love to trip and hate to look for acid in the scene. I'm looking to make my own supply of acid and mescaline..... currently growing rye and Bolivian torch cactus es. As with my weed, this is more about producing high quality for myself rather than producing quantity to sell... I would just grow mushrooms but they screw with my stomach

Truly great weed and weed products will always sell for as much as ever. People just need to target the luxury end of the product rather than the cheap end.
If I want to buy high end weed, I don't want to pay less than $60 per 1/8. I want to know that it's a product that competes on quality not on price. If it costs a little extra to take extra super good care of that plant all the way through the process, and to make sure that it's an amazing strain with great taste and smoothness, that's money I'm more than willing to pay
I understand the willingness to pay more for true premium, but as for your first sentence.... Most people i know these days wont pay 60 for an 8th, even if its supa-fire. However 3 years ago that was the standard price. Yes, you look at those local SF free newspapers and last i saw, said "50 an 8th". Prices fluctuate quite a bit. Got some premium wax for 25/g. Usually have to pay a good deal more. So anyway prices are always changing. And i dont even live in a state with a "real" MMJ system (its only on paper)but im in cali every year. Same thing, just more bud/products and generally cheaper. But ever year its a bit cheaper. Was like 90 for 22g of absolute top shelf. Mix of Banana Tange, skywalker og, and El Jeffe. Some of the prettiest and best bud ive ever even seen

I'm always really surprised to hear the average price being around $60/eighth even three years ago. I always paid $40 when I was living in the Midwest. Coming to Colorado only to see that you pay $20-ish/gram for legal weed kinda makes sense, but it was disappointing.

Yeah, okay, I agree, maybe I'm just being crazy here. I'm not unreasonable.
It's like buying alcohol, the mid tier is great, and the high priced stuff is probably exactly the same, but if you have the money laying around... All I'm really saying is that I'd be willing to pay $60 an 1/8 for truly amazing stuff. I've smoked too much shitty weed and am paranoid about it now, so I just throw money at whoever is supplying and hope for the best $60 is not that much money for me.
Maybe my price frame of reference is all skewed these days. I feel old now.
But my wine bottle idea is still good, damn it!

There are plenty of places that offer great bud for like $24 OTD or $20 grams of wax $10 grams Read a westword,rooster,culture magazine
Terrapin cere station 14er holistics Wellspring collective
They all have $30-$35 eigths and its great bud. Not the quality I was getting with my card in 2012 but still good

One of my neighbors recently got her medical card and she invited us to share a joint she'd picked up. Between her, her husband, myself, and one of my roommates, I think we got about halfway through it before we realized that we were just way too stoned. I'd been told that medical was incredibly strong, but that was the first time I had the chance to experience it for myself.

If that is the trade off to keep people from getting locked up it is well worth it.

Agreed^ not gonna fight capitalism. But our brothers and sisters getting locked up in the streets, thats coming to an end due to legalization in most places (will take a little while for the whole country to fall in line...but its headed in that direction and theres no turning back). When there are Marlboro-style joints, then thats when IMO it has fully been taken over like alc gambling tobacco pharms

Its funny, I'm a CO transplant from PA and I see SOOOOO many PA plates on the roads. Made me realize how much of a shit hole it really is
And as others have said, if you can't get bomb weed for bottom dollar you're shopping in the wrong place. I picked up an 1/8th for $30 OTD that was perfectly trimmed 23% THC delicious bud. Theres literally no reason to ever NEED to smoke stronger than 20% THC anyway. Its literally a mocked practice to "brag" about how much weed you smoke. Guy I work with is also a stage manager and he said out back people would be rolling half-oz blunts of shit easily that strong and they'd just pass it around like it was a cigar at a baby's birth.
Black market can admittedly be MUCH cheaper if you find the right people (fuck, tons of people are literally giving it away), but this way you know exactly what you are getting and you're fueling the fastest growing state economy in the country. I'm cool with that

Those 10# plants are most likely being grown outdoors yeah? I've seen a Yeti that gave up 20# but it was grown on the coast in N CA and was like 20-25' tall.
I'm talking about getting 2# off each of (6) plants in a greenhouse that's only 12x14, though it is 12' tall to the light deprivation curtains. I could grow a 10# plant I'm pretty certain.... but I wouldn't be able to fit much else as it would need at least a 100g pot and would have to veg it for at least 9 months to a year.... just not efficient and I like variety.

Sir.....had I not seen this for myself in Nor-Cali wine country in the mountains I'd think you were a wack job. 25' trellis frames for the plants that hit the top on even steep mountain inclines is amazing no matter how often I saw it. Especially seeing some harvest guys using a small chainsaw to cut them down with redwoods towering, lol. None of these other places are doing it because there isn't a more perfect growing environment naturally available.

The shit that comes out of Colorado is better than all that garbage cali outdoor.
I dont know a single person in CO that gets weed from Cali.

It's true, and the states surrounding Colorado and California are all a little pissed at all the weed coming out of them, so law enforcement more vigilant than they have been previously.

Chainsaws to harvest weed is too funny... I agree N CA with that mist every day... It's just tits for growing weed...
I achieve much the same results, and with denser buds... but only by forcing mother nature... In the summer I'm able to keep my plants at 75-80degF and 50-60deg RH during the day and I get a 30-40 degree temperature swing from nights to days as I live in what amounts to a high desert.... all the double domes that write books on the subject of how to grow cannabis will tell you this is bad for the plant haha... I say it's just like with grapes, makes the fruit sweeter.... and if I might lose a little weight to sluggishness growth in the mornings, I believe it is made up for in the nug density... been growing real dense buds but with the crazy frost like outdoor weed... I'm killin it on cannabinoid % (when you baby your plants it's amazing how strong they can get) and grams/watt
I've always wanted to 1) grow my own weed and 2) make my own acid and 3) grow my own cacti for mescaline... one goal checked off, 2 to go :-)
Planting Bolivian torch cactus crop... so 5 years from now I'll be able check that off. Been researching making acid, seems getting the ergot is main hurdle... we'll see on that one
Check it... those are 8' X1"dia bamboo stakes...

That's good to hear, although that won't stop them from pulling folks over for other, equally flimsy reasons. When I was living in Kansas, one of my roommates went on a trip to Colorado (with KS plates) and was stopped on the way back - for going five miles over the speed limit, no less - in case she was bringing product back with her.
In the defense of the state trooper, she was.
Also, nice grow, Bubba. Good looking plants!
