Weed Bust

How many children have been molested and permanently scarred by perverts who <b>could have been caught</b>, had law enforcement personnel been focused on <b>fighting actual crime<b>, instead of taking political prisoners?

<b>Prohibition will continue, only for as long as you let it. </b>
 
I used to grow weed when I was a teenager. I would show people my plants and they would inevitably be stolen. Finally, I got a Hydro unit and some lights and grew in a cottage that I rented. I would trim the leaves and my dog would eat them off the ground. It was fun and the weed wasn't half bad either. I haven't smoked in almost 10 years but would still like to grow.

Agreed, but here they may be closer than you think.

Not if he knows his stuff (and it looks like he may). You are off by ~4x.

If they are growing a good Afghani Indica, and prep it well it will be going for ~4k per lb *in volumes of 50lbs. If they are growing a Mexican Sativa strain (which it looks closer to), you will not be far off.

Not from the pictures he doesn't -- in the first picture he's got a batch of cuttings rooting under the florescents(on) and sodiums(off -- they will be turned on as seedlings take root), and a crop blooming under the halides in the other pictures. All members of each group are about the same age. He's definitely running a "crop" system rather than a "continuous" system.

With the C02 injection system that you can see in the pictures, he should be running a harvest out of there every 6 weeks or so.

Yep. I did a three year Fed stint for building the biggest and best underground system the DEA had seen to date - pictures and story made the NY Times all the way from wilds of Minnesota. (I was not the operator nor financier -- just the builder). No util bills (Cat "Quiet Gens" like used on movie sets provided the power), no heat (water cooled lights, AC and gen with the heat being widely dispersed across the floor of a lake through a network of pipes). Taken down by the relative of a group member. It's the lips.

"Not from the pictures he doesn't -- in the first picture he's got a batch of cuttings rooting under the florescents"

Those fluoro's look far from optimaly placed, shouldnt they be much closer at root stage?
I thought the spectrum was most effective at around the metre mark, they look much further away. Theres no reason the plants should have stretched that much.

:confused:
 
why dont they grow coca (cocaine) in these places? if they can control the climate with these lights & oxygen pumps, why not make some REAL money and get a far better high?

:confused:
 
Quote from peilthetraveler:

Just by looking at that operation from the pics its doubtful that they had multimillion dollars sales unless, you count over 10 years or so total. 1 plant gives you about 1 ounce. The set up looks like around 350 plants. (7 rows by about 50 plants in each row) Now these guys are obviously selling by the pound and not by the eighth. So 350/16 = 21.8 pounds but lets just say 22 to make the numbers easier. 22 pounds if they sell pound by pound they might get 2000 a pound if its good stuff and if they are selling 1 pound at a time. But if its not the best and if they are selling multiple pounds at a time (maybe to a big time pot supplier) that buys pounds and pounds to sell to others) the price could be as low as 500 a pound. But lets just say they are getting 2k a pound...times that by 22 pounds and they are making 44k every 2 months or about 250k a year....over 5 years by my math thats 1.25 million...they dont even hit the multi million dollar mark until year 8.

I always hate it when they over inflate what they actually got. They always get the price of the smallest amount that can be sold on the street and then just multiply. 50 dollars an eigth? lets mulitply that by 8 then by 16 then by 22 then by 6 and we get 850k a year....600k more than what the dealers were actually making. They always do the same with cocaine saying they seized millions of dollars worth of cocaine. 2 million dollars of cocaine in america (assuming 50 dollars per gram) is only worth 60k in columbia. (assuming the price is still 1500 a kilo there)

I dont thinks drugs should be completely legal but i do think that they should give a few cities permission to sell it so if people want to do that, they can go there to do it and people that dont want to live around it dont have to live in those cities.

You seem to be quite knowledgeable in the profit factor in growing plants, no? :)

Good thing those thousands of hours of work weren't devoted to lesser causes- such as getting child molesters, con men and spree killers off the streets.

No kidding. 5 years..LOL that agent just slow walked his way 5 years closer to a full pension. In probably the safest of all illicit drug professions. Its almost comical except the prison time the farmers will get.

And BTW with a "sea of green" style growing cycle 1mm a year is easy @ 3000.00 a lb for high grade buds. The farmer got lucky...they underestimated.
