GROWING AS AN INVESTMENT! – EP160

Andy
Yo yo yo guys what is up and welcome back to another episode of marijuana sa weekly with Dean and Andy your favourite cannabis grow hosts. And today we’re going to be giving you a little bit of tips and a little bit of insight on how you can view cannabis not as a wild growing cannabis but not as a purchase necessarily anymore but more of a growing it into a investment for your future and like to save yourselves a little bit of back at the end of the day. That’s a long winded way of saying it’s cheaper to grow than to buy. Hopefully, by now the YouTube moderators have left and then they’re not ready to to strike us for this one. But anyway, this is the the truth of it. It is way cheaper. And Dean’s got some of the numbers and like a bit of the calculations and a lot of the questions that we asked at the grow shop, Dean sort of came up with and invented and structured around serving the customer as end goal. And we always talk about how the end goal is. So without further ado, Dean, you want to lay into whatever presentation you’ve curated for us. So before I go in, I just want to say, you know, majority of people, when they’re coming to a growth shop, and they’re wanting to grow indoors, they are instantly scared away by high values,

Dean
you know, you’re buying high quality equipment. But all are everyone who is growing is smoking. So you’re spending money every single month anyway. And if you were to take that, that generally a growth is going to take around three months. So while we’re going through this presentation, in your mind, say okay, cool, what do I spend on weed per month? How much we drive by? Am I getting enough good quality weed? Or is it all a bunch of jacket, you know? And then And then finally, just do that little calculation for yourself. Okay, cool. So let’s go into my presentation. I’ve structured this all around. I have this cool design here for a to plant grow system. Basically all the components are pictured on the grow tent on the right hand side. Then we’ve got some seeds, our growth and finally a little piggy bank just to legitimise the presentation.

Andy
Okay, so you brings that together?

Dean
You know, I was really looking for a good element and the pig really work. So, yeah, just Okay, cool. So we’re looking at a to plant growth system. So as with any growth system, I always say to someone, you know, the majority of the expenses is going to be your grow light. So we have a good quality, grow light, good quality components. And this Grow Tent is structured around a to plant grow system. So a to plant growth system from us is going to cost you between 10 and 11,000 bucks. And that already people are like, wow, you know, but a majority of people are smoking, you know, two to 3000 rounds worth of weed per month, especially if you’re smoking premium grade. Okay, so I’m not talking about brown outdoor, I’m talking about, imagine a world where you only smoke indoors, and that indoor was only grown by you in that’s possible with this kinds of investment. So if you were to save for a three month to four month period, come up with the cost of 11,000, how quickly am I going to see a return on investment. Now that’s it is an investment. Because if you’re buying weed every single month, and now all of a sudden you make a plan to not ever have to buy weed again, all of a sudden, it’s not an expense anymore. Because once your system starts to harvest, and you start to reap the rewards, you’re no longer going to be phoning your dealer and having to wait in a parking lot, you know, you’re just going to have bad on tap. So that’s the that’s the first thing, you know, is it worth it? And for me, you know, it is massively expensive. As you guys know, we want to bring it down consistently. However, the cost down consistently. However, you know, if you willing to put an investment into good quality grow like the one pictured here is the king by 240. With a meanwell driver that’s going to last you five years, you know this whole system man who had lost you multi gross, you know, so well, it won’t last five years, because you’re going to want to upgrade after a year, you know better. So that being said, Okay, there’s obviously other factors that you have to take into account. And I’ve taken some of the FAQs that people ask us when we’re having these kinds of conversations. So as you’ve probably noticed, every person who comes to us, we’re going to consult with you to find out what is the correct thing for your needs. And these are the kinds of thought process that we are going to go through in order to make sure what we’re giving you is what you need. And no we’re not sort of, you know, we want to make sure that every client gets the exact tailored system for their needs. Okay, so running costs or electricity draw. We’ve got to oscillating fans, we’ve got a light and we’ve got an inline fan. Many people would think that’s probably going to be hundreds of watts, you know, but we’re only looking at about a 340 watt. And then in order to take your running cost. What I did is I took 18 hours and to 24 hours, I plus them together, and then I divided them by two. And that gives me an average of the time that the equipment is going to be running, then you times that by a month period, and you get and then i times it by the highest bracket on the electricity bill, and you get a running cost of approximately 1500 grand per month plus minus,

Andy
depending on your area and your electricity costs and your place. But yeah, it’s roughly roughly, you know, it’s a good benchmark,

Dean
rough estimate, exactly. It’s not accurate, I would go into more detail with, you know, if I was going to really be breaking down the system for the exact costs, but just for the, for the sake of the argument. Okay. And

Andy
that’s probably the worst case, you know, at the upper end of the estimate, I think. Yeah,

Dean
it also depends on your houses electricity usage. If you’re running air conditioners and fish tanks and multiple TVs and X boxes, there might be more. Okay, so now how long does it take for me to see product? Okay, how long am I going to wait till I have weed to smoke? Now generally, you’re looking at a three month grace period, three months at 1500 Rand per month, all of a sudden, you’re looking at a 15,500 Rent system, okay. 15,500, broken up into an original investment of 11,000. And then three times electricity bill payments of 1500. Easier to break down.

Unknown Speaker
After that period, you would see an expected yield on a mediums medium’s case

Dean
to get around 200 grammes from from the system depending on multiple factors. Also, just disclaimer, depending on if you’ve put in the effort to get here because there is effort that does go into it. But if you look at 200 grammes, and then you look at paying one and I’m talking about 200 grammes of premium flour, you’re gonna have popcorn additional, you’re gonna have trim additional or extra things, which you can make better with, you can make hash with, you know, but what am I going to have as premium now that’s around 200. And then if you take that 200, and you divide it by and you times it by 100 Rand per gramme, I’d like to know who’s paying that because not many people are, you know, if you’re operating in the black market, or or procuring bad, it’s normally going 150 to 180, for premium grade, you know, but let’s say 100. Now, you’re looking at around a 20,000, round retail value. Secondary disclaimer, we don’t advise selling of weed as that does still remain illegal in South Africa. But this is just to look at it from a complete numbers point of view, you know, I would have spent but 200 grammes 20,000. So now, if I’m smart, I’m now able to potentially smoke, you know, 40 grammes a month of indoor, which is a massive amount, you know, that’s more than a gramme of indoor a day. And with more than a gramme of indoor day, when my friends come over, they always like you’re, you’ve got the Danka sweet bro, and then you fixed your friends. And also, your system has broken even on a good grow in the first three month period. Yeah, now you go into the second period, three to three and a half month period, now you just paying running costs. So now you take your period is 4500 to 5000. Rand to grow, and you are now saving 15,000 Rand every three months, which means that for a far lower outlay, you’re able to smoke quality, and you’re able to have copious amounts. And then over time, as a lot of us grows, you know, you’ve got a bit of a library going, I’ve still got badly from grow to two years ago, you know, I’ve got my little bad library. So you can you kind of over time, getting more and more access. And then also just a final point, you know, the only way you can really know what you’re smoking is when you’re getting it from a reliable source. And the most reliable sources, if you’re doing everything yourself, if you want to get premium bad, that’s not pay that’s pesticide free, growing in the manner that you want it to be grown and the strains that you want to grow, growing makes sense. And if you look at the numbers carefully, what kind of investment yields breakeven in three months not many parts. You know, I mean, if you into stock stocks and stuff like that, it’s taking you five years to start to see these kinds of returns, you know, but now, all of a sudden, if you grow, four grows in a year, you’re, you’re never ever going to have to buy weed again. And it may sound like a fairy tale dream. But, you know, being in the position that we are and having dealt with so many clients over the period, we have seen loads of clients come in with no knowledge, put the F in do the investment and now they have never bought weed again. I had one client who was spending close to 10,000 Rand a month on premium wheat, you know, and now he just grows it all himself. So he smokes a lot. Yeah, that’s basically the long and the short in the numbers. And when you I think when you break it down into these five simple points, it’s really just easy to understand.

Andy
I mean, in this short I mean do I’ve got nothing to add to that, in honesty you’ve covered everything tivity but yeah I’d only think maybe I could add is like you are in this process upskilling yourself immensely the cost of a system and say it’s 11,000 if you compare that to the cost of a degree or things like that, it’s you know, growing isn’t going to be a hobby forever it’s going to very much in the future become Korea pass is going to become a job where it’s like paid as much as accounting engineering. You know, it’s high high value cultivation people always underestimate how much farmers get remunerated in this country, it’s unbelievable the level of skill it takes to grow you know, 10,000 Perfect oranges and things like that. When it gets to create it, you know, the skill required to create 10 kilos of unbelievable quality bad ready for European export and a certain you know, mineral consistency with no heavy metals, everything like that is is insanely complicated. And it’s going to be a high value thing. But there’s no way you’re going to learn that overnight as Dean can very passionately contest is that you will never just pick up growing and just be a master growing overnight. Like it’s forever learning forever new tech for revenue, LEDs coming out for revenue, soils, research materials and automation tools and things like that. So it really is an awesome way to upskill yourself as an investment because you are your own investment. You’re saving some back at the end of the day. And yeah, you’re you’re you know, I think that’s gonna only really be a good thing and you’re learning. So yeah, that’s pretty much our growing as an investment in a nutshell. That’s why people decide to get a system and put it together and grow a full system and grow, grow your own harvests. It’s very effective and it’s a good solution.
