3K a lb is great... $2500 is ok.. but $700 is an insult.

I sold seeds to a guy with licenses in Colorado and Oklahoma. He's pretty well off. He's thrown everything into Oklahoma including buying his "breeder" a house. Or bought the house for the guy to live in. He's a newbie to cannabis and I don't think he senses yet what we are living and seeing.

I agree with what had been said earlier, this is what free market looks like - I dig it!

I’m thinking anyone who had a sound business plan with a solid forecast would have predicted this - since it’s similar to what has happened in every other legal market. Predicting and actually fighting through it are two different animals though. I’m pretty certain this inevitable dip (bottoming out) in price will cast out the cash grabbers and the over-leveraged - while the folks who are really about this life will stick around because they love what they do.

This sounds a lot like the Weed in Canada has Zero Value thread. Prices in Canada cratered when borders closed due to oversupply.
This will all shake out over time but I fully agree that the price for premium herb will never cost what tomatoes do. I’ve been hobby growing both for a long time and it’s just not an apples to apples comparison. Premium herb is more expensive to produce, particularly the drying and trimming steps which are not part of tomato production.

I do love doing it... but to do it and break even or spend months and paying trimmers, and bills to make peanuts is not any fun. I'd rather grow 4 home plants at this point, and go work a forklift part time to pay my healthcare premiums and other small bills I have. Otherwise, I don't owe anybody anything.

I don't envy you guys. I've never grown at the scale you are. And frankly I don't ever want to. I know what's involved. I hope everything works out but... Time will tell. Good luck.

Yeah, It's a commitment. Can't go on vacation, or even a weekend getaway. It takes me about 3 hours a day to maintain, some days more if Im training or larfing, but it's EVERY day. No days off. We prob won't get to go on vacation or anything till like July of 2022.
