Greedy Phony MJ growers/entrepeneurs

Okay I'm going to take a divergent track for a moment to share a financial opportunity for people in or near the Colorado area. There is a show called Pot Barons of Colorado being aired weekly on MSNBC where they focus on the newly emerging recreational marijuana market in Colorado. Not just outlet stores either but also people manufacturing edibles and drinkables. That corner of the market is having a very hard time keeping up with demand because it relies on trim and the demand is out pacing supply so much that to adjust price to match supply and demand would be detrimental to these companies most of which don't have their own sources (grows) for trim so they have to shop around. In at least one case, one company says they can get enough of what they need out of fan leaves and therefore will even buy those. So if you are an enterprising person sitting on a pile of trim and fans you may want to go check out these places in Colorado. Just a thought.

Hey, how was that? It keeps showing up on channels I don't have.

There are money people, and there are weed people, and you can't be both. You might think you can, but you will be doing one them half-arsed, and usually in that case it's the money side that wins out.

this is the original topic and its very easy to answer for me,yes i've meet them,they are EVERYWHERE in america and they have ALWAYS been here. the first nickel bag i ever bought(1972)was oregano.the problem with the OP seems to be what qualifies a person to be placed within the "human turd" category.i personally don't agree with #1,making money and greed are to different things.#2 well lying sucks but is sometimes a necessity.i have a number of friends who "smoke" but because of their jobs haven't in a very long time.they still grow some mighty fine herb.#3 yea that makes a person a turd.#4 some people are hot shit and EVERYONE should think highly of themselves.the opposite of this is called low self esteem and feeling worthless. bottom line for me...most entrepreneurs are good people trying to provide a service to the marketplace,more power to em.

:biggrin:

How so?? I bet 99% of my posts are helpful In fact I have never been neg repped, and the only other person Lexcultivar just copped to being wrong.

You would be very wrong again as I am married, am told I am devastatingly handsome, have little need for masturbation and definitely don't want to look at a picture of her

Browsed a few of your posts and got the distinct odour of a horny adolescent from a couple of them. Socks and tissue piles probably. The smell that is. I never said you were unhelpful?

Women overreact, par for the course. Or more rightly, to how things appear than to how they are. How are you married and unaware of this?

LLB calms down if you explain, more than I can say for the last one that got bent out of shape at something offensive I said. Still suffering those "consequences" XD

A fully grown adult that spends as much time watching Nova as Looney Tunes. This, this is the guy you think sounds juvenile?

No. I don't believe it.

Say it ain't so Sam.



I did enjoy watching you and whathisname spazz out like electrified autistics in Sams DNA thread. Mind if I use that as a frame of reference as to how to act like a mature adult?

nothing worse than fake people. how can you trust some one that lies to themselves. i also get frustrated because everyone with a recc thinks they can grow cannabis for a living and it floods the market with inferior product, giving bad names to good strains and undercutting us lifers who do this with passion , love and respect for the plant. i may make my living off of growing herb but i assure you im not getting rich doing it. i provide a service for a select few. people know my high quality medicine is going to deserving sick patients. not reccreational but medicinal. i dont price gouge at all either and i always weigh out heavey. i love cannabis and count on it everyday to make my life better in countless ways just like millions of other americans. (i have a high tolerance and because of that i have to switch it up and smoke more than the average patient. because of my condition i smoke more herb than most patients do to begin with, tolerance aside. ) so i def get high on my own supply, lol

just the act of growing is relaxing to me, its my zen and the patients who recieve my flowers and concentrates are very happy with the arragement. even if cali legalizes i will continue to be a medicinal grower, whether its illegal or not. right now im in compliance with my state and local laws and im a small fish living in a ocean. the fact that im non commercial helps me sleep at night too. im sure ill get alot of blowback from this but i dont like when people take advantage of the laws or ignore the laws grow huge commercial fields or hoouses full of lights. it takes away from the legitamate medical growers and patients. i beleive people should be able to smoke weed legally regaurdless but when you divert streams to water your crops or spill deisel you have gone to far. messed up part is when something like that happens they run and abandon ship leaving a mess to be cleaned up by us local. thats another thing that pissses me off, people from anywhere usa come to humboldt to be commercial growers and again it eats away at the sustainability us folks who grew up into the growing community used to have and count on. now the market is flooded with inferior bud and grown by unstable ignorant newbies. its a shame. alot of people are getting out of the business because it dosnt pay the bills anymore. and yeah, then there are the morons who act like they are ballers and have come up but its usually fakers. real growers (professionals) keep it on the down low and a need to know basis as often as possible. why brag? your just gonna get robbed. keep your mouth shut and let your work speak for you.

peace out

Well this turned into a pile of shit. lol

Seriously though his comments might have been a bit insulting, they could have been taken as a joke too. when u post pics of half naked chicks ur bound to get some responses. Now im all for it because im a big admirer of the female body. But I know if posted some that Id be getting some controversial responses. Im smart enough to know it comes with the territory. Kind of like if u show off ur cleavage and a guy gets caught steering. Did u not already think by showing ur boobs a bit some guy wouldn't be looking. Of course u know they were going too.

personally I think it says more about the man than the women. that's almost as bad as saying she had a short skirt she wanted to be assaulted. just because we find the women's body beautiful too doesn't mean that you should feel like its okay then to tell me I was asking for men to make comments. this is why I do not go walk the streets of downtown. I guess I wouldn't expect anyone to feel like this with a cock for brains. I tried to find the video I wanted to show, but apparently they women who made the video for the guardian received so many death and rape threats they removed the video. go figure.

I don't care if a guy oggles the girls but the girls with giant titties have got to be sick of it. if I caught a guy staring the whole time, I would think prepubescent boy who'd last a minute....maybe two. no self control.

assaulted? come on now. I was saying u shouldn't be surprised of controversial comments towards sexy pics. U are smart enough to know that.

What im saying is that if u wear a short skirt im likely to check out ur legs, not assault u. Its human nature.

I was more using it as an example, extreme yes but still the fact you say I am asking for it? why can't a women just wear a sexy dress because it makes her feel good, maybe powerful. but then she has to deal with this? what if I was a guy and had that as my avatar? you would never address me like that. you two would bond over talking about how hot that bitch was. but since I'm a girl, you feel like you can act like the avatar is my personal body and make open invitation on personal comments towards my avatar or pics I posted? I picked those avatars because I thought the women were pretty and attractive. why don't you then tell me, "Your avatar is hot" which I have gotten and no freaked out response because why???? don't talk about my naked body. don't make comments about my naked body because I post pics of girls.

fine. I will not flirt, post cute photos, be humorous any longer with dick and fart jokes as obviously it makes me an easy target regarding my body and what I should do to get better responses for my questions as that is not classy and gives you a poor image of me. I should be uptight right?

on that thread, all of you had been following along and we kinda knew each other so posting pics and talking about helicopter dicks was funnier because the opening comment and first introduction wasn't what melloyello said. I'm pretty sure you just offered me advice. I think it took a while for me to even start talking like that because I felt comfortable joking around with you guys and it was all cool. none of you have made any comments about my body. so there is no way you can compare all of that and just give him a free pass to cheap shot.

I don't even know why I'm trying to explain this. we try to explain shit all the time in the womens forum and you guys don't get it. probably why theres a thread bitching about crazy women and how you don't get why we blow up at you all the time. :tiphat:

I never said u were asking for anything llb. I respect ur right to have ur opinion. Be urself, just don't let these things bug u so much. If someone persists then that is trolling, but the guy just made one off colored joke. Don't judge and hang the guy so quick, give the guy a chance to let it lie. just my opinion.
 
I think you're taking a bit too much for granted in saying this. After reading what you've said I'd agree that you are not phony but I'm still unsure about the greedy part. I think the $100 per hour part doesn't seem too greedy now that you've expanded on what the $100 per hour covers but it's what it doesn't cover that still has the jury on greed out in my mind. You mentioned that you have connections where you can get better prices for equipment presumably for the volume of business you drive that way. Having worked in the wholesale/ retail business for IT I have a fair understanding of how that ends up playing out. So it seems a bit greedy to me when you say you can provide your customers with equipment at a better price then what they would get on their own, but only if they pay you an additional fee beyond your $100 per hour.


Having been in the Wholesale market then you should surely know that Consultants, Mechanics, retailers, and wholesalers ALL add a premium to the bottom line. Thats just basic BIZ 101

Further there are several ways that consultants are compensated. Many charge an exorbitant upfront fee that covers most aspects of the service offered. Others charge no upfront fee and bill clients as they perform these services. I operate in the latter arena, thus the amount of hours spent researching and acquiring viable, competitive quotes is standard fair in business and obvious billable hours.

as i often say DONT FEED THE TROLLS what this means is do not give them anything,nothing.ignore them.if the troll like behavior was accidental/unintended than the conversation will continue in a (relatively) normal,mature way.however,if the troll keeps on trying to get a response from you:nanana:,you must remember DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.any attempt to fight a troll:fight: usually leads to its victim becoming infected also:dueling:.instead you need to get hold of the zoo keeper (a mod) and let them know one of the critters has gone rogue and needs to be sedated or put down.they have the proper weapons to deal with these filthy creatures :snap out of it::spank:if they know where their at.
 
Lets 180

Lets 180

And get back on track.
To be clear I am not fishing for clients, booked solid for quite some time.
Just as an example of how a consultant can assist. Looking at Luckybeans gallery its apparent she can use some Assistance. 1 hr of solid consultation with an expert and she is yielding twice the meager amount she does presently.
Scrog screens barely full, obvious nutrient issues, minimal biomass.

Here is an example of a Girl Scout Cookies scrog at max density. I hear she is hard to grow and not the best yielder. Coulda fooled me.
10 days into flower she is healthy, vigorous and already frosty.
