Officials announce 'largest marijuana garden' bust in Humboldt County history
    #7287389 - 08/12/07 12:05 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

Law enforcement officials today announced the 'largest marijuana garden' bust in Humboldt County history.
In a press release, the Sheriff's Department said 134,082 marijuana plants that ranged in height from 1 foot to 3 feet were found at the Bear Creek drainage off United States Forest Service Route 1. Eradication of the garden took place from Monday to Thursday.

The area is located approximately 35 miles south of Berry Summit off State Highway 299. The garden sites were located on Green Diamond Timber Company property and United States Forest Service property.

The press release said officers located evidence in the garden sites that linked the marijuana gardens to a Mexican drug trafficking organization. No suspects were located near the gardens.

At harvest time, the marijuana plants would have an estimated street value of $469 million, the Sheriff's Department said.

The California Attorney General's Office Campaign Against Marijuana Planting, or CAMP, the United States Forest Service, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, the Eureka Police Department, and the United States Coast Guard assisted the Sheriff's Department in the effort.

This case is under investigation.

134,082 plants 1-3 feet tall = half of a billion dollars?

The article said that "At harvest time, the marijuana plants would have an estimated street value of $469 million..."  So no, not at 1-3ft.

By that point in time, I'm sure many of the clones would have turned male or been eliminated from the grow for some other reason.  But I believe that that many plants, grown to maturity and sold for $65 an eighth or maybe broken into nickels and dimes might pull that much street value.

Still, I gotta say I'm bummed - and this may mean a friend of mine is gonna lose his fall job.  That'll make him sad:(

Clones do not turn into males. They are exactly genetic the the previous plant, a female.

Well, the article didn't say that they were clones.  And plants grown from seed do turn male as well as hermaphroditic.  I don't know much about cannabis cultivation.  This isn't a competition. 

I was just attempting to explain the article to someone who was having trouble understanding it.  That was why he was incredulous to the police's estimate.  I also don't pay $65 for an eighth, I'm just trying to show the rationale behind their extrapolation.

I'm sorry for offending you, however, as it is obvious you have more inside knowledge about this particular grow operation than I expected;)

I am also sorry for anyone who has to pay $65 an eighth, because that's just ridiculous.  Though I *have* heard of it, and the cops *do* love to make big numbers to justify big expenses.  And maybe to win big budget increases:mad:
