Not really. If each plant dried out to just 3 ounces you'll have 13,200 ounces or 825 pounds.
If it was sold by the ounce (which it wouldn't be by the grower) that would only be about $300 an ounce. If it was any good that's not too high. Increase the yield to 5 ounces a plant and you get to around $4 million at $150-175 an ounce.
Again, it depends on the quantity produced from each plant along with the quality that determines the price.
But $4 million isn't much of a stretch.

So I guess they tested it to determine how much it would sell for?

your math is pretty good
4400 plants x 4 ounces each (5 or 8 is a large estimate) = 17600 oz
16 oz in 1 lb = 1100 lbs (17600 / 16 = 1100)
$300 per ounce, but at that weight it's $4000 per lb so: 1100 * $4000 = $4.4 million
And some wonder why others take the risk in growing.
legalize weed and create a new North American industry similar to the new micro-brewing boom. The American government can never stop peaceful people from enjoying liberty and prosperity.
