job or grow

Growing should never be only source of income period.....too many things can go wrong and then where are you?

I do not think there is one person who grows for any length of time that has not thought about what you are asking advice on. But the fact of the matter is that you should look at growing as a second job not your full time job. Yes I do know people who do it and pull it off for a year or 2 here and there but they always end up getting a job in life there are things that you need inorder to live a semi normal life one of those things happens to be verifiable income. I am sure at some point you would like to own a home or purchase a car or even rent a car. All of these things require credit....do you think a bank is going to loan you money for a house because you have a fist full of cash? What about if you need to rent an apartment what are you going to tell the landlord as your source of income? These are real life questions that are hard to answer if you have no way to show income.

Judging by your spelling errors in your posts I would suggest you RUN not walk to the nearest school and start working on your education.

You may think that my post was harsh, but it is based on realism, not the hatred of commercial growers as has been suggested.

Pops, I wasnt pointing at you or anyone else in particular with my comment. I just realize there are some people who are dead set against commercial sales on this site and their posts will reflect this feeling even when its masked as "advice". I was just trying to advise tito to keep it in mind when asking about commercial sales issues here.

I agree that he is not deceiving people. He didn't tell the kids that purple buds were any better or worse than any other kind of bud, but for whatever the reason the ignorant people want purple buds.

However my advice is get a good full-time job. pot doesnt give you health insurance and other benefits you will appreciate with a full-time job. also its guaranteed income, vs hoping that someone trustworthy who needs some weed will come to you and not someone else.

Growing for the commercial market can provide a lucrative income for a while and should you prove unsuccessful, you may be able to learn new skills in prison that will assist you when you get out.

As most said Use growing as a second job, not your primary source of income, but the one of the hardships for any dealer is greed, dont let it control you, i dont care if it a quick hit of any amount of cash, stick to your friends, your closes friends only, and youll make enough cash to get on your feet. But dont make a career out of it. clean up that dirty money with clean money. Start a buisness, pay your house off, get ahead. Guess what i learned that from a "Stupid Rapper" who at one time rapped about "Purple Weed" to us ignorant people.

And you look around you can find some purple strains, or strains that have a higher rate of turning purple, so you can cut the cost of cooling a room that much.

And lastly if people already no you grow its to late, Snitches or thieves will get you in the end.

I worked for over 20 years and have grown now seriously for six,aside from health insurance the quality of life of the two can't be compared IMO.I don't do it anymore but have no doubt I will again.Without a lot of preparation it can become a losing proposition too easily,logistics and mental investment should come long before the first purchase of equipment

I have very very very good insurance for my partime job. I only pay 10$ for my prescriptions ya somas 10$ vikes 10$. they pay for everything its great insurance at UPS united pot smokers!. But the people are right it is expensive to grow indoors and you will prob need a full time job to pay for a grow that size.

For what its worth, I work a shitty full-time (night) job and grow enough for 1/2 pd/month (perpetual garden!!) and am investing my $$$. Keep its small and never tell anyone, not even a girlfriend. :nono:

Well I just got back from a interview warehouse job for a big company, to sum it up they gave us 3 tests 10 min each and then said we will call you back in 1 to 2 days for an interview and if we don’t call you there will be a note in the mail. i was talking to my dad and he said back in the day they would tell you right there and then if they were gana hire you.
