Posts: n/a I'm to old to use the "never" word medicine farmer, but dang fellas, profit can be a real incentive at times when applied properly. In fact, If I had to give 2 reasons that there is a cannabis market i would have to say 1. love of plant. 2. Dreams of profit.
Greens, let me provide you with a vision. This vision is a result of 30 yrs of strategic business planning experience. I consult with companies, look at their product/process, look at the markets they target and then help them to produce a business plan for the future that will allow them to flourish. Ive done it for so long thatthe analysis almost comes natural. If i were to be hired by a seed company to provide planning, here would be my report.
About 3 years ago it became clear that fems would take over the cannabis seed market and that occurrance would have a real impact on standard seed production and price. Currently, femmed seeds are flooding the market and competition is increasing dramatically. This has begun to drive down the price of standard seeds and this trend will continue for approximately 24 months At the end of that period, standard seed prices will have fallen by approximately 40% to an average price for high quality standard seeds stabilizing in a range from $23.00- $40. There will be a great deal of variation in seed cost during this 24 mo period resulting from a race to the price bottom by newer, more ambitious companies and resistance to the change by older established companies. Established companies will be slow comming to the table. This provides significant opportunity for the newer companies to excel and shape the future market with both price and product.
When dissecting the impetus behind the femminization of cannabis , it becomes clear that the real goal of the grower/industry is that of predictability and efficiency of the grow and femminization of seeds is really just one apect towards that predictability and efficiency. It is logical that this trend to effiency will continue with an outcome that results in most of the seeds sold on the retail market being female and autoflowering because that is the maximum expression of efficiency. Just as cattle will always follow a natural path, humans will as well. This course for the cannabis industry is inevitable.
When reviewing the cannabis seed industry, it becomes apparent that some companies are closer to this eventuallity than others and currently, I would conclude that the breeders at unleashdagreen are sitting at the cutting edge for this bright new future of cannabis growing. The mindset of these growers is unique in that envisioning other possibilities and pushing the envelope by necessity has been their standard MO. That aspect, along with the need of these breeders to control the maturation process provides them with assets that others do not possess . The 2 components of the cannibis seed future are;.
controlling the maturation procees
controlling the sexual process.
Its my sincere beleif that the next Dj short will come from Udg or some similar entity. Personally, I wish you guys would get to it. Im inpatient.
