I was thinking the outbreak of broad mites around the triangle was going to create a shortage. Mabey I am wrong, a lot of great growers who can adapt so mabey I am wrong

Think it just lowers the quality and price. Most of the great growers are retired imo. The new commercial cash croppers don't throw away anything. Broad mites attack their 1000+ pound grow, they spray Avid/Forbid, and harvest poison crap and dump it on the market.
Have friends who every year work on random commercial farms. They are almost always owned by guys from Florida or NY, and they all spray Avid/Forbid. The owners are so far removed from the grow, nobody even meets them. Doubt they care about anything but the profit margins, and the turn around on their investments.
Think a lot of the really low priced stuff belongs in the trash can. People won't throw it away though, so they keep it on the market leading to panic and price drops when people hear the prices.
Was a ton of units for 6, hanging around for quite a while. Turned out they were seeded. So for months people said, "oh I can get some for 600 why pay more," the reality was ya you can get trash at 600.
Think the low ticket dep is trash as well. Dep can be easier, and can turn out better. It also can be trash and belong in a compost pile.
Market is rough though. Best route imo, open a store front. Then use that cash flow to start grows. Can buy low tickets, then when you harvest straight to the shelves for top dollar. Those are the guys with a bright future. Without that vertical monopoly the days are limited.

^ fuck those commercial growers
haha learned my lesson on that one. any time someone says they got 6 dollar packs, I tell em to bring me 10. sight unseen. suffice to say it has never happened. they either dont exist, or they are way shittier than let on and they never come back with em. not to say its not possible, but just my experience.
Unload em while you still can- tough times ahead for anyone not evolving

My buyer for the last several years says he's not interested in my OD. At any price. Says he's buying deps at 1600 and ID at 1800. Gonna be a tough one for me this year.
evolve how ?
packaging with 1000 times more petroleum crap than is neccasary ? or maybe fake terpenes ?
I would happily prefer the wandering yogis stash of 1000 years ago, than the crap that pervades the marketplace today

I hear you, but as growers we must evolve to stay in the game at least through good marketing strategies and aligning yourself with the right storefronts or like MedResearcher said, starting your own storefront.
I think it will get hard to stick with your regularly scheduled program soon.
Thank you for the clarity, Hash
lowest prices ive ever seen currently. Market is saturated and its not even halloween. The new norm i guess.So far ive seen 9 for a handful, not expecting more than that tbh. I cant see prices this time next year being over 6 or 7, at most, for full term, 1k for deps, 1500 for indoor
Last week I heard talk of 20 packs in Humbolt for $200/unit and people still sitting on last years units.
Wonder what the reality is out there...

I imagine most people would send it back east befor giving it away for a few hundred a pack. I think a lot of the low ball talk is just greedy fucks trying to get over on people. I am in so cal I haven't heard of anything even close to that. Then again I don't buy weed just grow and sell it. At 200 it must be trash. Even 6-7 probably isn't even worth making extracts.
Those prices.... It has to be garbage. Good bud can be made into top dollar Ice wax, and hash rosin. One of our plants yields 25% rosin from bud. There is a lot of money to be made on quality extracts
