$830 000.00 in one basement. The Police often ``estimate`` how much marijuana is worth and how much each plant will eventually produce. They say each plant will yield one pound and calculate the worth at per gram rates. Real measurements of total production would be closer if they used the one pound per 1000watts, which is only possible under completely ideal situations.
