Waht Are you Doing To Cut Costs As Prices Continue to Fall?

[krunchbubble]

As prices continue to fall, many of us growers are having to do measure to cut down on cash the money we invest into the grow for maximum profit...

For example this summer im shutting down my indoor and running light dep outdoors for the free electricity...


Im switching over to $%##$%(Not saying because people accuse me being a rep of said products) of nutrient for lower costs of my nutrient. Same ingredients all the major companies use in raw form, just add water. Comes to like $12 a gallon for base, using at 7ml per gallon, good for 540 gallons!


Reusing soil outdoors this year. Running enzymes to break down roots and reusing soil from last year. BIG part of my cost last year and hopefully can cut that out this year!

What you guys doing?

Going with sunlight outside, compost, and light dep. I will 2nd the low cost nutrients, I make a lot of mine from scratch now, no noticeable difference in productivity.

I finally got around to buying red wrigglers and having them make me fresh EWC. Bagged is expensive and it sucks.

A few growers I know found spots to sell their own product at farmers markets. It took a few weeks to build up a clientele but he gets an extra $2000 a month for 24 hrs work and he gets more per gram than the dispensary pays him. It's a small market. Some go to bigger ones and can make around $1600 a week (1 day 6 hrs) Another ditched the bottles and started recycling to save cost on soil and nutes. I just built a cubic yard for about $200 that I can use for at least 3-4 years; probably even more. But like mentioned earlier, lurking for ideas.
