Wholesale pot prices plummet. Now there starting to get better

[Hash Zeppelin]

lol i never copped more than a dove at a time? funny funny stuff. believe you me i know the flip game better than i know the grow game. i also know what costs what out there, and right now shitty outdoor bud isn't in high demand. it says right in the article that people that grow quality are doing alright still, so that leads me to believe that this is a good thing. tell your friends to either step their game up or get out of the way.

Indoor quality is getting decent pricing still. Not as good as 4 years ago

I get 25 to 32 from dispensaries depending on strain, but it is on consignment. Some strains I have been offered as high as 36. Again though that is consignment. However, my shit is only on the shelf for a few days before it sells out, and then they have to wait till next harvest.

Capitalism. Supply and demand. Grow good, grow rare.

seemed kind of dry for a second there but thankfully things have been popping up lately....nowhere near as steady as the fall but stuffs coming out of storage and early light deps are hitting the market. saw some real fire Blue Dream dep for 13 up on the mountain that was fetching 17-18 down in the bay area nice little margin right there.

Grows that haven't happened yet are already busted?

 

[DIDM]

yep

according to a friend there have already been a lot of busts, by excessive H2o usage, some indoor and some outdoor

with fires already raging they are already going after one of the largest water consuming industries


one friend told me last winter they got letters telling them to get their water in check, it's gonna be a rough year for some folks, hopefully a lot of folks have their own well, or 3

 

[Backyard Farmer]

lol sounds like a bunch of garbage.

Marijuana growing a big water using industry?

Um, no..Cali water gets piped to vineyards and large ranches in the Central Valley...where they water by the acre foot, not gallons.

 

[stasis]

Vineyards are encouraged of course. When Peeps like Francis Ford Coppola buy up Established Pot Farms, We'll know We have arrived.. Until then, We all know how "They" feel about Cannabis Farming.

One year, during a moderate drought on the Coast, compared to what has occurred lately, Neighbors were seeing their wells dry up by September. Mine barely made it. The pH went down to 5.7. And It was FUNKY water, but I managed. Can't imagine what could happen now, with towns like Willits having such serious water problems.

Maybe the price will go up for Flowers, etc., amazing as that sounds to Me.

Only option seems to obtain a large tank and fill it. It's common for people with polluted water, such as an old friend of mine, who lives on a 50 acre notorious previous pot farm in the 60's and 70's where they poured MIRACLE GRO DOWN THE WELL and watered directly out of there. She drank the water for years unknowingly and developed several problems with cancer over years. Now, She has a tank, and fills it with hundreds of gallons of water, delivered. How is that a problem legally..? Can't see how.

So it doesn't matter what it is or when it was grown, its all happening on 14th street?

My mother was diagnosed with Stage IIB cervical cancer, then i wasted a lot of money for years for treatment,until i saw in the phoenixtear.ca in the internet that cannabis oil can cure all cancer,i tried to look for a way to get the Rick Simpson Oil and finally a friend of mine who he helped via email:ericolivermedicalservices@outlook.com told me how to reach him and get the oil,i was able to email him and bought the oil,my mother started taking it on 12th January and glory be to God she was healed in April after her last scan,i would want to thank Dr.Eric Oliver for the time he spent in getting this oil to save lives his email is ericolivermedicalservices@outlook.com,the oil works for all type of cancer and it is worth it.

How much are they charging for the oil?

Looks like there is so much decent full term out there the early dep has to compete price wise. Most buyers want "good enough" as cheap as possible. Find different buyers for the dep if that's the case as your dep should be better than last years OD. Even an early dep.

Back yard...noticed you quote tom hill here or in another thread about growing more pounds of a heavier strain as opposed to less pounds of a boutique varity even if it gets you a few bucks more. This is true but there is also a flip side. Say you have an outlet that needs the boutique varieties, and others that don't. This day in age I want to keep all clients happy and plugged with my work and not some buddy else's. It's filling niches. I can't argue that it will do better on the bottom line but we are in a race to the bottom price wise. If you can keep your prices up filling niche markets and developing them further you can maintain some leverage in a buyers market. And oh how that leverage swings in your favor come august and September. I'm not saying tom ain't right but I am saying things are changing. I don't want to compete with the people selling 500 dollar pounds in a few years. We all lose in that race.

 

[Backyard Farmer]

Little Hill , as you stated , most buyers want good enough at market prices, which around here are 13-15. I don't know any one who is going to give me 25+ to grow og Kush...

If I did, I would serve it to them. Like you I prefer to keep my people plugged with as much of my work as possible. They're just not going to give me the compensation I'm looking for to deal with growing things like OGs on the full term.

Saving it for summer black out when they will be preferred.

 

[Little Hill]

Maybe not 25 but 18 is out there. Not worth the full term spots but replanting the light dep with it is a winner.

Absolutely, and all Tom and I were trying to say.

Big Respect

Im relatively new to the game(well into my 3rd year) and as such dont have nearly as large of a market yet producing the best weed I ever have been able to produce. A friend of mine recently had decent quality available at $100 an oz. For the quality I am producing right now he is at $150 an oz. The friends I provide to they say it is the best they can find right now. Including from the guy at the headshop. And yet, I m still undercut by the local dealer with lower quality. Honestly, I have everything I need in place for 3 more harvests of 4-6 plants each time over the next 3 months. Im doing that and Im cutting my losses and stopping.

 

[TerpeneTom]

How long until the market is similar in Michigan(can one compare the two as such)? Or, when should a small producer begin focusing solely on hobby/boutique and build their resume? I know the transition should start now, but there is a good year or two left it appears.

 

[bobblehead]

It's knocking on the door. If you're not already working on a warehouse or a greenhouse then you're behind. I'm getting out and moving into another business.

 

[Pangea]

Seem's that way, this thread is 4 years old. It wont be long before the next thread is created and titled "Retail pot prices plummet."

Seems like soil and compost makers are making a killing, $150-$200/yard...!

 

[TerpeneTom]

Visited a Michigan dispensary and they are still moving grams at $20 - deathstar, even in a rather impoverished area...

The highest price they pay for ounces is $200. Seems like a pretty good margin for them? These are the ones they flip for $20 also... This place is quite uncomfortable as well...

They don't offer bulk discounts.

They have some straight brown for $10...

They don't even ask the grow method either. Say the growers determine price too. A dude actually walked in and started negotiating with some grade b- bud, trying to get $280 lol

 

[bobblehead]

That won't last much longer. There's a lot of dispensaries that will be opening over the next year, and of course there will be more to follow. Prices will be driven down for dispensaries in the near future, which will result in lower prices being paid to farmers... Which will lead to "who can produce the most cheap and sell it for cheap?"

And so I will have my closet.. more like a walk in closet with separate veg cab... lol or even better a climate controlled greenhouse... and I will just smile knowing I did it before the corporations took over and whored the plant out.
