How much do you think your overhead is to produce a gram?

I am doing more work on getting organized, but doing bulk grows in monotubs, i estimate it costs me less than 1$ to produce 1 gram . Im doing the hard math next month, even running the portion of rent for square footage i take up. My wife thins its crazy to produce it that cheaply, seeing as the street price in my area is $10 per gram.
My question is, how much do you think it costs you to produce 1 gram (or ounce, or pound or kg, whatever measurement you use) of mushrooms in your current setup?

These numbers don't account for electricity, gas, or water because i don't use enough of any of them to be a factor, and i don't do anything special for climate control or humidity. Two days a month for grain runs, 1-2 days a month for agar run, florescent lighting 12 hr on/12 off, a handful of gallons of water a month. But yeah, it's cheap as shit. Factoring in time (research, knowledge, PCing, SAB work, etc etc etc) is a whole different story! I do track my labor hours, i'm autistic like that Also, as should be obvious, i left out the one-time purchases (PC, SAB, jars, SFDs, scalpel) because their cost diminishes with each successive run.
-$5.16 for 25 plates $0.18 per plate $4.50/25 plates $1.50/25g agar (7.5g agar per 20 plates) $0.45/25 plates agar $0.21/25 plates for LME
-$0.31/qt WBS $12.50 for 40 lbs WBS 310g WBS per quart
-$2.21 - $2.88 coir per 32qt mono ~$2.88 per 650g brick
Wedge from one plate makes a master jar, one master expands to 10 jars. 1 plate, 11 total jars, 4 jars per tub, 2.5 tubs made. $9.15 - $10.82 per 2.5 tubs.
50% BE = 2 dry oz per tub ; $4.58 - $5.41 per dry oz 100% BE = 4 dry oz per tub ; $2.29 - $2.71 per dry oz

the cost numbers are so small unless you cult commercially that honestly I never gave a lot of thought to it
as MLP said, I also agree your time/labour is the most valuable asset in the whole operation

It varies based on time of year, species, and how much Iโm doing. Iโve had times where itโs probably 2 bucks a gram and others where itโs thirty cents.
During the right time of year when I need no lights or temp control I can use an lc to run unlimited tubs for the cost of grain and coir. And I guess technically one plate and a dollar or two to run the pc a bunch of times.
So if I went through a bag of wbs and a 5kg brick itโs probably like 100oz for forty bucks. I could be way off I donโt really keep track of details when I make tubs.
