I would be willing to bet against that if you want. My criteria is getting paid...I will bet that is not a huge yielder...what say you?
Your Star and mine are not the same
I didn't say the biggest plant
But would be the one I kept the most of..

and when you get that 8$ back you gotta reinvest 5$ and the 3$ goes to expenses not fancy shit!
its like that for everybody lol, this whole game is one big money pit. and when your flush most people just keep expanding which brings more expenses. and grows can always be upgraded, infrastructure replaced or added, etc. even if i pull six figures i have six figures of things that need to be added if i want a perfect grow. outbuildings, drying rooms, more storage, new well, more outbuildings and more storage, and i really want to upgrade all my gates to solar powered auto entry lol…. i almost envy the small timer who just keeps it simple and does everything themselves.
Swampass and trenchballs lol
Dude this is what I live by. I have my 5 acres I own, I dont grow enough to get noticed, I put almost all my money away. Still I do new projects around my property obviously but I try to keep it simple.
I have two friends who thought buying multiple properties and doing it huge would be no problem, Invested hundreds of thousands and then pretty much went belly-up.
One got busted and the others wife left him (because he was nuts from work and the stress of multiple huge grows) which in turn left him with a mental breakdown and foreclosure of his spots. The second dude was paying like 8k a month in power alone. No thanks.
MJ dont make that bet, the afkansastan x Snow Lotus are the biggest plants in the garden right now... its like they are meant to be in this climate. still too early in the season to tell how they will yeild though. But i will bet that they finish first, probably early october. not a bad thing.
that kind of work is actually really bad for your health. Also i'd rather be creating something of my own than trying to carve out a piece of somebody else's pie.
i've only done it that way, but i imagine having all those extra things might take some of the fun/rewarding aspect out of it. Some people just like to get paid a lot, without doing much work themselves. I have a friend like that, always expanding and hiring people so he never does shit himself, just drinks and parties all the time. Different path in life i guess.
i chose strains that will yield very well.. especially triple-planted
My smallest bodhi plant last year was about 7 lbs. I think this year will be even better, i dont think any of the 800's will pull less than 8lbs, the way things are filling out now.I dont pull thousands of pounds like Im sure some do on here but I pull over 400. Honestly I dont think I could process anymore than that if I wanted. Just not enough hired help I trust. I'm happy, My 4 full-
time employees (all close friends of mine) are happy.
Everytime I think about expanding (like once a month lol) I remind myself of the old "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" and bring myself back to earth.
Plus when you have two friends that were obsessed with how they were gonna pull thousands of pounds and their lives goes down the shitter right before your eyes....that helps too

yah i'm still trying to figure out who's going to help me with harvest. shits gonna be hectic i already know it
400 is still pretty impressive....margins seem tight after salary.
I would hire random females (if they're chill) but not random guys. so idk about the nut-busting
Thanks man. I dont do the 1k per unit thing that I see a lot on here...I dont care if somebody was going to buy every single # I harvested up front, still wouldn't
do it. I put my heart and soul into this, I aint selling either one of those for cheap.
I'm going to one of those indoor trampoline parks right now. Hope I dont bust my ass! you all have a goodnight!
I feel you. You keep doing what you do.
