Growing Medical Marijuana Outdoors Cost

Typical costs:

• One of the primary costs of outdoor growing is property and costs vary depending on the acreage of the property. Most people grow marijuana on their own property -- either in their own backyard or on rented land.
• Nutrient-rich soil in ideal for growing marijuana and typically costs $5-$20 per cubic foot of soil. For example, Amazon sells nutrient-rich soil^[1] for about $18. Home Depot sells 2 cubic feet^[2] for $7.
• Some medical marijuana dispensaries sell seeds or seedlings, also called clones, but the sale is typically regulated by municipality. Seeds generally cost $6-$15 each, although they are often are sold in packs of several seeds.
• Because of the exposed nature of outdoor marijuana growing operations, security is typically a key cost. A home security camera can cost as little as $30 or as much as $1,000 for a surveillance system. Security guards might provide another option for protection and are typically paid $10-$100 per hour. Some marijuana cultivators use fences to block access. A 6' chain-link fence generally costs $8-$15 per foot.

• A recommendation for medical marijuana is typically required in states where it is legal in order to maintain a growing operation.
• Medical marijuana growers may wish to seek legal advice before pursuing a growing operation.

• Marijuana-related message boards such as Grasscity.com and Rollitup.com^[3] offer information medical-marijuana cultivation.
• A state-by-state summary of marijuana laws is available through the National Conference of State Legislatures^[4] .
