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. You should also take into account that you will need other materials for its cultivation.
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.
Costs of supplies for cultivation
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 plant growth. The price ranges from 10 € to 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 grow 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 growing Cannabis
It is important to bear in mind that in addition to the initial investment, cannabis cultivation also requires certain additional costs that can affect the final cost of the plant.
These include: electricity consumption if the crop is grown indoors, water, maintenance of the cultivation site, as well as the renewal of the soil and fertilizers. In this regard, energy costs can amount to about 60 € per month for a small crop, while water can cost between 10 € and 30 € per month. It should be noted that these costs may 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 profitable to grow our own marijuana? Despite the initial costs, self-cultivation of cannabis can be much more profitable than buying the flower directly from the market. In addition, it allows you to have complete control over the cultivation process, guaranteeing high quality cannabis tailored to your tastes and needs.
