Value of initial investment in Cannabis plants
Marijuana plants can vary in price depending on several factors, such as the quality of the seed, the brand, the variety and if they are autoflowering or feminized. Seeds can range from 5 € to 25 € approximately per seed. Also, you will have to take into account that you will need other materials for its development.
One of the most important factors is the quality of the seed. High quality seeds tend to be more expensive, but at the same time more resistant and with a higher THC content, resulting in a higher yield and final quality.
Development supply costs
The cost of supplies also plays a vital role in calculating the price of a marijuana plant. Materials such as soil, fertilizers, pots and lighting systems are essential elements.
- Soil: The soil is one of the most important factors for a good development of the plant. The price ranges between 10 € and 20 € per bag depending on brand and quality.
- Fertilizers: Keeping our plants well nourished is vital for them to develop optimally. There are fertilizers created especially for marijuana ranging from 10 € to 50 €.
- Lighting: Depending on whether we are going to carry out our development indoors or outdoors we will need to invest in a good lighting system. Lighting kits usually have a value of 50 € to 300 € depending on the type and power desired.
Additional costs of developing Cannabis
It is important to note that in addition to the initial investment, the development of cannabis also requires certain additional costs that can affect the final cost of the plant.
These include: electricity consumption if the development is indoors, water, maintenance of the development site, as well as soil and fertilizer renewal. In this regard, energy costs can amount to about 60 € per month for a small development, while water can cost between 10 € and 30 € per month. It should be noted that these costs can vary depending on where you are and the time of year.
Production and yield of a Cannabis plant
Finally, one factor that we cannot forget when considering how much a marijuana plant costs is the production and yieldThese can be very variable depending on the genetics of the plant and the care we provide.
A single marijuana plant can produce between 30 grams to 500 grams of dried cannabis. If we make a rough calculation, the investment in each plant, including seeds and supplies, could be around 100 € to 150 €. Thus, the cost per gram can range from 0.20 € to 5 € depending on the production obtained.
A profitable investment?
So, is it cost-effective to develop our own marijuana? Despite the initial costs, self-developing cannabis can be much more cost-effective than buying the flower directly from the market. In addition, it allows you to have complete control over the development process, ensuring high quality cannabis tailored to your tastes and needs.
