That's a Croc! :mj07: :mj07:

Plant yield has been estimated on a conservative basis of 200 grams (approximately 7 ounces) per outdoor plant and 100 grams (approximately 3.5 ounces) per indoor plant. These yields are considered conservative compared to frequent reports by police stating the potential yield of seized marijuana plants to be 1 pound per plant.

Outdoor Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis) yield studies conducted during the summers of 1990 and 1993 have determined that the usable dry weight yield (leaf and bud) for female cannabis plants can be up to 2.3 kilograms (5.1 pounds). Based upon a survey of 15 leading producer states, the average plant yield for mature, domestically grown female cannabis plants in 1991 was 448 grams (1 pound).

California -- How much usable marijuana is available from a single marijuana plant? Is it one pound, five pounds, 15 pounds or four ounces? One can likely make a case for any and all of these figures.

It resembles the question, "How many tomatoes does a single tomato plant produce?" For tomatoes, like marijuana, the answer varies depending upon the variety, growing conditions, horticultural practices and harvesting techniques.

The usable quantity of marijuana is in part determined by the potency as measured by the amount of psychoactive agents within the finished product. Potency is effected by the moisture remaining after drying, what parts of the plant will be included as well as the variety, growing conditions, horticultural practices and harvest timing.

While some plant varieties are grown specifically for their potency with the most psychoactive ingredient percentages topping out at more than 25 percent, most remain in the 10 to 20 percent range.

In addition to the advent of female-only clones, today's marijuana grower has an ever-increasing number of choices available to affect the outcome of the crop. The most dramatic difference between plants involves indoor versus outdoor growing habits. Given reasonable local growing conditions, outdoor plants will yield significantly more marijuana per single plant than indoor ones.

Good growing conditions and well-suited cultivars for the area can grow enormous marijuana plants yielding 10 to 15 pounds of bud marijuana each, as shown in the large marijuana plant located by the County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team several years ago. Mendocino County sheriff's deputies report seeing giant stands of this type more frequently in recent years as grows have moved more into the open to take advantage of full sun exposure as well as improved horticultural practices.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency uses an average dried weight of one pound of usable marijuana leaf and bud per mature plant based on yield studies conducted across 15 states in the 1990s, which at that time included the typical presence of 50 percent male plants. In controlled grow studies in Mississippi, the DEA concluded female plants could readily yield five pounds of usable bud and leaf material.

Magic Bud is the finest blend of Indica and Sativa, which makes her into an easy to grow bud bomb. The floral and aromatic taste makes her smooth to smoke with a body relaxing effect, combined with a pleasant Sativa cerebral high. This plant of fine stature produces beautiful nugs in a relatively short time, approximately 50 days indoors. Many commercial growers would like to have this plant in their gardens, not only for its high yield and short flowering time, but also for her quality which is beyond many commercial strains.

Suitable environments: Indoors. Outdoors from 15? - 50? Northern and Southern latitude.
Yield per m2 (indoors): 500 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): At least 500 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Middle of October (at 50? North latitude)

ALWAYS PRAYEN Is This Yours ?:142smilie

Mall of the Americas?

Why would such a High Class establishment be involved in that? :mj07:

I'm telling you, The Boys wouldn't shop there. I wouldn't get caught within a mile of that place anyhow. :weed:

Shamefully, I was arrested for cultivation of marijuana while I was at LSU in the early 90's. I had 13 small plants. They listed the street value at $26,000. I was expecting a yield of 4 to 8 ounces. At the Baton Rouge police rates, that's $3,250 to $6,500/ounce:scared

Now, this is a story I demand to know a bit more about. One of these days, I will press you for the details.

Dont be ashamed.......we've all had indescretions in our youthful (or, ahem, not so youthful) pasts.

In my neck of the woods, an ounce is not likely to go for more than $200. In Chicago, its closer to $600. Of course, I have no real first hand knowledge on this topic. :SIB

I hope you pay better attention as an engineer than you do on here. Last I checked the Mall of America WAS INDOORS. So, throw your outdoor stats out the door where they belong. :00x10

indica is a big waste of time.
dominant over sativa and it's not marijuana, as far as I'm concerned.

hey Matt, where you at?

ain't these guys a hoot?

Billionaire behind move to decriminalize pot

August 28, 2008

BOSTON -- A measure that would decriminalize minor marijuana-possession cases is on the ballot in Massachusetts largely because of one man: billionaire financier and liberal activist George Soros.

Of the $429,000 collected last year by the group advancing the measure, $400,000 came from Soros, who has championed similar efforts in several states and spent $24 million to fight President Bush's 2004 re-election bid:mj07: . The Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy needed about $315,000 of that just to collect the more than 100,000 signatures that secured a spot on the ballot, according to campaign finance reports.

''All of us owe George Soros a great deal of gratitude,'' said Keith Stroup, founder of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

If the measure is approved in November, Massachusetts would become the 13th state to lift or ease criminal penalties on marijuana possession. The proposal would make having an ounce or less of the drug a civil offense punishable by a $100 fine.

A spokesman for Soros referred questions to Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance. Soros is a member of the board of directors.

Nadelmann said Soros feels the war on drugs is draining money and resources that could be better spent.

''He thinks the [ballot question] is a responsible initiative to reduce the overreliance on criminal justice sanctions in dealing with marijuana,'' Nadelmann said. ''Marijuana should not be a priority of the criminal justice system.'' AP

NORML rocks.
They collect the best research done on mother nature's gift.
I can provide links to audio or printed discussions on virtually any aspect of this of this beautiful gift...medicinal related, legal, etc.
My favorites are loaded.
Ask and ye shall receive.

Maybe Jack will open a new forum strictly on the subject.
Then I never get my bb 'caps done.

(I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread)
