    Default Breakdown of consumable costs (nutrients, growing media, lighting etc.)

    I am a student researching the cannabis industry. One thing I'm having an issue understanding is where the greatest expenses take place for growers. What’s your breakdown of consumables cost? (% nutrients vs % growing media vs % lighting vs. other)

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Its up to you really..

    You could grow wonderful plants with a $50 fertilizer, and you could mix your own soil, or buy a bagged one, and just add some suplements.

    You could run a 250w dual spectrum with anmopen reflector ($50) in a small tent ($50) seed to harvest, including filter and exhaust ($100), one clip fan one vent($50), some zip ties, 2 pots, 2 pot trays, ($15)

    So I guess 200-300$ for a beginner kit.. electricity is gurnisht... 350 watts or so running 18 or 12 hours a day... Thats cents

    I ain't going to work it out to the penny but I reckon I can produce 1oz of bud for less than £15 from start to finish

    And I'm sure that figure can be lowered by others even further perhaps £10 per oz produced
