Wholesale pot prices plummet. Now there starting to get better

Love this thread!

Love this thread!

Love to hear about current rates.

I've been able to source 1.4 for b- outdoor this year. That was from cali of course :). It went for awhile around here, but then the good stuff hit the market. I know some people holding onto a decent amount of that stuff, an they can't get rid of.

At that same time I was quoted 2.4 for A- indoor. So I sourced a sample of it. Worth the upgrade in price for sure. Don't recall the strain really.

The third option was some indoor A+ GSC. He was able to get that to me for 2.8. It was some great smoke, didn't let anyone but my close circle get a bit for their personal stashes.

I was lucky and left the bunk buds for others to try and pedal away.

That was right after the outdoor came down. Had him call me the other day quoting 2.8 now for A- indoor. Think I'll pass this time around, getting close to my A garden to come down!

I'm lucky round here. If you don't know someone who knows me or my broker or his friends around here, your paying 3.6/4 per unit no matter the quality. Gotta look to other states if you want it cheaper period.

Got a monopoly around this bitch!

Like I said before, If you know what you are doing and you're serious and dedicated to the job, those numbers i posted earlier are very easy to achieve...Matter of fact i know several growers that get around 2 pounds per light and sell there stuff between 28-32 per...So i was really throwing out minimal numbers earlier...All of these folks chop at 56-60 days so they always achieve the 6 harvest per year mark....Like i said before, If you cant get at least 1.5 lbs per light then maybe this job isnt for you or whoever.....These folks are serious and dedicated and feed their families doing this, so they make it happen....Some folks arent cut out for this and some are...:)

like i said better $$ in outdoor, but indoor is still worth it for many reasons and for folks who cant make the sacrifice to live in the mountains.....you can still make decent coin indoors even pulling only 1lb per light but for me personally my indoor profit margin is severely cut down from all the seeds i run....a costly addiction and i have OGR gear on the lineup

even if herb sold for 500 bucks a pound i still like indoor growing and i especially like hunting phenos through seed, outdoors is fun but i like to see everything via indoor expression because they represent differently.....its most IC folks dream to run a commercial operation for profit and have a little something on the side just to pop B's...i guess i could pull my OG at 56-60 days but for some reason i always let it go a little longer just been my philosophy and i have a little leeway since im not doing this struggling to pay bills, i care more about my "patients" raving about the quality than a few extra hundred at this point...il sell more OD weed to cover my indoor habit lol.

but back to topic, norcal indoor prices are hurting a bit since we are closest to the epicenter of cheap OD...know a few folks who would rather export than settle with the 2500 standard for anything not og or GSC...why settle for 2s when you can put a little extra work and get 4s.

Abusive ad hominem

i've heard of this. it's a sister pheno to abusive og, yeah?

for me i pay about 800 in power per harvest total for 4kw of flower, thats with CARE energy discount, so 200 per light.

welfare electric at the grow house. ficking awesome. reminds me of when ODB rolled up to the welfare office in a limo to pick up his food stamp card. now if i can just get the hookup at a commercial property.

just so you know & for example in new y ork state your "cali grown" greenhouse "blue dream" is around in bulk & can be had for around $3000 per pound east coast dollars ... you folks are producing so much it's clearly dropping the price nationally

you know, there is a continuum of quality between AAA and beast.

given the time and space and resources i have to invest in a project, i can produce 8 units of A/A- or 5 units of AAA/AA that will only fetch $300 or $400 more on a good day. the numbers are arbitrary. plug in whatever multiplier fits for you, but the formula should be close.

me? i crank out 7 decent production units to keep the lights on and 1 of the straight up head chron purely for the love of the craft, the respect of my peers, and the enjoyment of my fam.

and do i miss $48 in the northeast in 2002? you bet your ass i do. but what i sure as shit do not miss is having to be genuinely concerned that my door is going to get knocked down by the pigs or stick-up kids if one of my close friends happens to put the pieces together and figure out what i do for a living.

If he was moving real weight he wouldn't start a thread online asking if vac sealers really work and if you can put smelly proof bags in the mail.

Lol ... A dime a douche

Measuring success on weight per light is an erroneous method.

It's all about the amount of profit$ per light.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or GPWT.

No one seems to take Time into consideration. This is one of the biggest factors in efficiency if you ask me.

Once you take into consideration time or total watts used, not just the wattage of light, you get a better platform to compare different grows.

^^^This. Seriously if we were going by what some of these guys are claiming; I might as well say I get 4800 for each once I break it down to zips lol. Wholesale is at least 10+ packs and not the random one or two here and there.

I'm hearing around the same prices as you Z-ro in norcal, but here are a few more updates:

Sour Diesel 14
Bubba 14
GC 14-16
GDP 15-19
Chem 22
GSC 28

You can add 2 once it hit socal.

Exactly....this is where the disconnect is!

It's def not as easy as ppl think to grow ya own much respect prop those extra days do matter and are what makes the difference between aaa 70 day sfv and aa 60 day sfv...
There's always gonna be a market for the aaa greats and select privalge few who want to and can pay premium prices but no matter ,how good with so much shit around prices drop I see ppl out here pushin good og not great def not Cali finest but fuely frosty shit as sour for 225 a zip 34 a lb Then the shit that was aaa goin for 4 gotta drop to 35 36 to stay competitive... Its a bit frustrating what all this mediocore herb does to the biz...Shit is what it is we can all remember the good ol days of 48 or the great days of 56 but shit is gettin cheaper and cheaper and all we can do is adjust and hope the Ferrari stays gassed up...

in my area prices are low as fuck. theres a few cats bringing in bulk lettin it off for 27 per unit all day. really fuckin up the indoor flow. but in a few months when all that subpar outdoor fades away ill be able to fetch 3200 again all day on my indoor.

in the past 10 years i have watched the market go from $6000/lb of top grade AAA to $3000/lb AAA times are changing fast. With all the medical laws passing in North East id say within 2 years you will see significant price reduction all across the board

So, people are bringing in OUTs for 27 and you cant get 32 for INs?

Kinda hard to believe when people are buying INs here for 25-35 here and taking them there.

It all has to do with market and product quality...sounds like he was used to being one of the few shows in town and is now feeling the heat of competition.

Could have something to do with the fact that he's in Maine. The East Coast has it's own variations in supply and demand. I'm guessing Maine isn't the same as New Jersey in terms of supply coming from the West Coast. Just a guess; could be wrong.

Plus, not everyone is paying 25-35 right now even on the West Coast. Some growers have building surpluses and are willing to let good indo go for less, especially in bulk.

Your mistake here Z-ro is assuming the stuff they get is even in the same class as what you refer to.

The 27-32 stuff is the sub-1000 mid stuff. They eat it up.

ive been seeing fire outdoor girl scout cookie go for 2900 all day.

all people want here is the best quality for the cheapest price.

when there is outdoor GSC selling for 2900 its hard to get 3200 on some indoor people just dont want to pay the extra money not when they can make $300 more on a product that 90% of the people in the area think are similar. its a tight market here, lots of shit from out west flowing in bulk and its not subpar cheap shit. its def your higher level outdoor. its comparable and even better then most peoples indoor around here.

as for the subpar cheap shit that we eat up? lol speak for the city boys us dudes up in the sticks are WELL taken care of. (its the subpar cheap shit thats fucking the market up cuz stupid fucks down the line have NO IDEA what they are buying they just care about the extra buck)

my new years goal is to sell all my indoor for 3k per LB we dont need anymore of this garbage outdoor from Cali. although that cookie was fuckin nice :biggrin:
