Ive seen the large quote; Million dollar grows in various Mags and i was wondering how much money it would take , how high are the risk involved in running such a grow , how many people would it take to run the thing , how many plants it takes , would it be less of a risk to do one big grow than to do 4 or 6 grows per year , you know, any thing u can give me on a "million dollar grow" :canabis: TU 1HOVAH

Serious Jail time. Forget the logistics of growing all that, what then? Do you know a buyer for a million dollar grow? If ya found one, what's to stop them just robbing you?
My advice is forget it.

If ya use the U.S. Fed's math, it doesn't take that much at all.

I million dollar grow is only around 500-750 or so pounds, 1500 to 2000 plants I would guess. All prices are subjective for sure but that's close.

That BC bust at the beer plant was something like 10,000 plants and they put it at $40+ million I think. They break it down to the gram, if A+++ goes for $20 a gram, that's the figure they use. It's like sayin a QP is $2,240.00 worth of weed.

Alot of 1000watters, unlimited power, water, and about 5 guys to make it all go round and round.

I saw the magazine articles i think you are speaking of. I doubt many people could tend to a outdoor grow of that size plus they would have to be spead out far and you better have one amazing spot for that. If you have your indoors dialed in you should get about 2lbs per 1000 hps so do the math of how many lights you will need. That was a huge bust tex. You will also have to worry about how you are going to get all that power as you almost have no chance of using the power company for that size grow unless you split it up beetween a bunch of houses. Good luck and stay safe. PeAcE

I would think it would be a whole lot safer to try the 4-6 grows per year than one monster run. You also need some trustworthy friends and a good electric trimmer. I couldnt imagine that kind of trim job it would take so long even with a bunch of help thats why it would be better to spread it out imo. PeAcE

Thanks Texas Kid , Wrecked for your commits , but it doesnt have to be 1 million dolllars worth, the idea was toward 1 large grow per year ,compared to many small grows , what was less risk ?

Funny, the difference is called federal time in prison. Get caught running a million dollar operation and you'll certainly do a long federal sentence with no time off for good behavior. Get caught with state charges and first timers with no priors get the five year probation slap on the wrist with outpatient drug treatment aka " pee for me jonny ".

I dont know who said it but theres truth in the saying, " The lion feeds on what it needs but the hogs always get slaughtered. "

I have a few suggestions. Move out into the uninhabited mountains somewhere, probably some abandoned farmland, and go all out with it. If you get arrested at least you tried and let the world have something to sneer about on the news headline. win-win situation

However, I think its fairly possible to do a 10-20 thousand dollar grow. With 5-6k watts. Well... not in 1 grow, but 10-20 per year.
