California Wholesale Cannabis Prices
- Thread starter Babbabud
- Start date
Seems like it would be good to get wholesale prices of both markets. If we have some licensed California growers that would like to share what their wholesale prices are it would be great. Mainly just want to hear what the prices are from all around the state of California.
What towns are you by?
Still seeing 28-3 for top shelf indoor in so cal.

A simple way to eyeball price is to look at the average range of what outdoor ounces are going for at dispensaries.
Lets say an ounce of outdoor is priced "to go" at $120.00. This is what the dispensary wants to move it at but it can give us a rough clue as to what might have been the wholesale price since retail price markups in dispensaries tend to be about 2 to 2.5x and higher in my estimation.
$120.00 / 2.5 = $48.00 wholesale price per oz (multiply by 16 for pound price of $768)
Now Lets say the same dispensary also has sungrown outdoor varieties for sale at $200.00 per oz.
$200.00/2.5 = $80 per oz ($1280.00 per pound)
So you can guestimate a range of $800-$1300 for outdoor based off of these sample prices and ofc your mileage will vary based on how many dispensaries you research.
Indoor, depending on variety and clout, can often be 2-3x more expensive than outdoor

I should have clarified that better. But, yeah - in my post I was using the terms "Sungrown" and "outdoor" interchangeably.
It used to be the case that there was outdoor and indoor bud.
Now,it is normal to also see a third category, "Greenhouse" which is exactly what it sounds like. Bud grown in a Greenhouse. Theoretically, this should be the best type of bud because you can use Sunlight and control climate....
But, in reality, “Greenhouse” bud is, generally, gonna be assumed to be between Indoor and Outdoor quality.
When it comes to branding, "Indoor" still sounds better than "Greenhouse", though; so, I am assuming that the toppest shelf “Greenhouse” Bud is being branded as "Indoor" to command a higher price.
While I suppose that, to some people, "Sungrown" could definitely mean "Greenhouse" or "Deps", I think that the vast majority of what is being branded and sold as "Sungrown" is regular ol' outdoor.
I have always considered "Sungrown" to be nothing more than a better way to brand “outdoor” bud in a market that is becoming more refined.
So yeah. Sungrown = Outdoor IMO.
Edit: some people consider “deps” the future. What they are referring to is greenhouse grown bud which is flowered “early” to utilize spring/summer sunlight intensity during peak trichome production.
This should be considered “indoor” tho ?when talking price point; because, the benefit from indoor is the cleanliness of the space and regularity of light. Bud grown in a greenhouse can be lit artificially when it is cloudy, and covered to force flower when sun rays are at their strongest.

You are right.
I remember my outdoor would get pink pistils a lot of the time. The hps doesn't have the same uv Ray spectrum as the sun that allows the plant to grow the same way. The sun is the best source of light and they don't want us to use it because it's free.
A grower here gave his indoor plants shorter days to bring out the reds in plants that don't show at 12/12.
Some of my stock goes red outdoors but not indoors. Outdoors it's down before the day drops to 12 hours though. Without going into a long story about different plots and weather conditions, it looks like the DLI could be responsible. The amount of light recieved during that day, not how long the light was actually switched on for.
