like you said..at 4 oz per plant..625 lbs. 12mil/625 = 19,200/ lb.
$42/gram all the way up
that's assuming 4 oz, plant, but even a a lb per plant?
$4800/lb.
$300/oz ALL the way up. Of course, I bet the "law enforcement officials" are assuming the plant won't be manicured, and it's the best weed ever.
Then again..I don't know that they take into consideration the trim leave conversion into hash..so the pot community gets a break there.

2500 plants
1oz frosty trim/popcorn buds per plant
= 156.25 lbs trim
10% conversion = over 15 lbs of hash. Not saying it's all 73u bubble, but it's good hash. Granted it's all speculation..but still..it is somewhat conservative.

It wasn't a drug bust... they didn't find any drugs...

Herb bust. It's a shame. I could have smoked those sweet sweet herbs....
2500 plants is a drop in the bucket.. will not make a dent on the market at all..
Marijuana bust yields 2,500 plants worth $12.5 million
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - A marijuana bust on federal land near Medford turned up 25-hundred marijuana plants with an estimated value of 12-point-five million dollars that may be linked to a Mexican drug cartel.
Police also arrested two men - Rafael Santoya-Pineda and Noel Tadia-Arreguin - who were being held at the Jackson County Jail for immigration officials.
The plants were four to six feet tall, growing in scattered gardens on three acres of Bureau of Land Management property near Hyatt Lake.
Plants of that size can produce about a pound of marijuana each - worth about five-thousand dollars on the street.
Police had been watching the growing operation, waiting until just before harvest to make the bust.

I highly doubt that they would even make a million from anything like that. I'd say those guys who put their neck on the line would make at most 700,000 between all of them.

Exactly. you'd have to sell it all by ounces(at $300/each) or pounds(at $4800 each) to get that amount of money.

LOL 2500 yeah thats a small one here in Oregon. There was a bust of 4700 plants near my home. Worst or best part of that bust was my budy and I were thinking about growing in the same spot.
