Thats pretty close to where its always been for wholesale. In medical legal states years ago I read in a similar thread people talking about prices were about $100.00 per oz. This is just slightly less, so the grower is still getting paid pretty well.

I was raising the price higher than that, with inflation and all the work, but not in one of the legal states. Don't be shy about prices, you put a lot of hard work into the garden.

And the lower quality flower, they set the price is to try to move it out evidently. Maybe some people are just being really nice and produced too much.

My cousin in MA said they had a major surplus there. They talk about surpluses going on in several states on The Potcast. Its due to most of the states having laws that don't allow them to sell cannabis in other states. That would fall under federal jurisdiction I think if it crosses state lines. I saw that they are changing that in bills in some states.

So I don't grow inside or buy weed , what is it with LED grown weed ?just curious
There is a thread going on right now discussing it. May contribute to calcium/magnesium deficiency too due to low Vapror Deficit Pressure compared to other lights.

deficiency too due to low Vapror Deficit Pressure
Wow way over my head to techy for me .that's why I don't grow inside, it just seems every problem you can possibly have will happen. Deficiencies , insects , spider mites, hermaphrodites and on and on. A few florescents for mother plants , reveging ,cuttings and seedlings that's it for me

We have made a lot of mead and always drank it quickly. Then we made a 40 gallon batch and now I know why they use camden tablets to stop fermentation. I always prided myself on no additives.. Turns out after about a year it starts tasting more like weird vinegar alcohol the delicious mead.

yeah, i've ended up with some really unusual vinegar before using red raspberries to make wine. never had anything made with grapes of any variety go there, though...:shucks: got some muscadine going right now. going to run it through the still next weekend. :whistling:

Total boof to me bro, I would not smoke that if you paid me, only in hash form like I said. If and when I smoke flowers it has to be like this:

View attachment 18811091
View attachment 18811092
View attachment 18811093
Organically grown of course.

No wonder you are paying these super low prices. I can plant these yielders and get the same price. Not to discard them, I am sure they would make for okay hash plants.
Buzzkills like this are why I stayed away from ICMAG for over a year. Instead of just being happy for me that I scored a decent oz for cheap, I get lectures, and comments like "I would never smoke that shit." Well guess what, FUCK YOU. I do not care what you would or would not smoke. And if a $39 oz is so beneath you, why not just 'not comment'? Bragging about how good of weed you smoke, trying to assert status with your pretty bud pics, it seems pretty fuckin' petty to me. I'm not your bro and I wouldn't want to be.

Exactly! And I got an oz. of decent weed for $39! What's the problem?
The problem is what it often is in many human interactions/discussions; one-ups-manship/egos, and heavy doses of cynicism that translate into, "your experience is forbidden to be any different than my experience", and other sometimes-fantasy-based perspectives.

Glad you scored a good bag.

For those who quote a specific price as 'common' in a blanket way, including from licensed retail shops, that view doesn't match the fact that each area, state, region, country, etc. has their own markets (especially in the legal realm).

Some might recall a couple years ago, when Oregon's reserves for licensed weed were stacked to the proverbial ceilings, and they were often asking $2 to $4 per gram at the legal shops.

Colorado had similar, but slightly different experiences.

Our static production taxes in Alaska had folks still paying fairly sizable amounts for legal weed (not withstanding 'super specials'), as the licensed growers were paying (at least initially and possibly still) a set $50/oz. production tax.

I think it's more WHO you sell to than WHAT you are selling. The people who go to the dispensary and look for deals are a totally different client than I have.

I sit at the bar at Sullivans, Tommy Bahamas or Eddie V's and I watch those rich fucks spend $300 and $400 on a bottle of wine like it's 20 cents. 4 figure dinner checks are common here. And, for a table of 4, each person gets about 2 glasses of wine for that price.

So, I sit out in the parking lot and when the guy comes out I blow smoke his way and he stops and says, "Wow, that smells good". I invite him to join me and before the joint is finished, he is reaching in his wallet.

I sell mine for $350 an eighth or $100 for 2 joints. They pay that like it's spare change.

Then, they get into their Bentley or Rolls and head up to Bighorn to their 5 million dollar home.

My pot is pretty good but I don't think I would get that price from poor people. LOL

I have always felt that it was WHO you sell to. And, that goes for most products, not just pot. I used to sell hammers and toilet seats to the government. I always got a higher price than the private sector market. :)
No wonder you like Palm Springs. Damn… be careful.

Wow didn't know it went that deep bro. Sorry to hear all of this, you must be depressed/mad or something like that, this is a forum and on a forum people discuss stuff.

But since you want to cuss me out and stuff, enjoy smoking your mids/lows that's all people like you deserve really.
 
Isn't that down to the grower and not the led lights. To walk out as it's led grown makes no sense to me. Although I'm not there and buying in that market. I wish I was at those prices...

As a grower of near 30 years my led bud has a better profile than any HPS I used to grow.

Don't be a dickhead. Let everyone know what leds you use, that don't produce trash bud.

But to just act like all the weed in all the dispos is just pure crap, well it says more about you than the weed, I think. Sour grapes maybe?

No. It's all pure shit. I absolutely hate growing weed. I fucking hate it. I do it strictly out of necessity. I tossed all my equipment when I moved to a legalized state, and immediately started building out a new grow after my first week of trying dispensaries. Smoking since the early 70s and my initial thought was "this does not resemble cannabis in any way other than looks". Even the looks were off. Lifeless. Synthetic. Styrofoam. Eat some shrooms and do a visual side by side. Legal buds are dead inside, like a dirty homeless whore full of stds.

Since then my thoughts have become more detailed. I even dedicated a closet to growing shit weed so I could grasp why legalized pot is so fucking gross. Concluding that the people growing legal pot have zero grasp on reality. They'll grow hay and spray it with gay terpenes, whole heartedly believing this is a legitimate enhancement to the product. Back in the real world flavor and entourage come from sugars and acids, and cannabis smells derive from those sugars and acids. The 'terpenes' bullshit is just marketing for sprayed weed/adulterated vape pens. Literally the entire cannabis community is retarded by lies just to sell the $35 shit being grown by legal clowns. There's no difference between top and bottom shelf from legal grows. It's all grow by nute custies.. Look at the labels. Using Cannabis branded nutes on a commercial scale for fucks sake lol. It all smells like a fucking shoe store, not a cannabis store.

yo stop LARPing with pics you found on google. How you gonna project about other's lives when you can't even be honest with the forum or yourself?

You clearly are out of your depth, even a noob like myself can see that. No shame in smoking mids if they're clean, why don't you accept that because your insecurity about only smoking "PRESSURE FIRE BEST OF THE BEST PUREST VARIETALS" is cringe worthy when you're in reality smoking boof.
