The market in socal has crashed a lot in the past year, I used to be able to get 3200 for top quality OG. Now I've seen it drop under 2500, and as of lately that number isn't getting above 2300.
I sat on my last crop looking for a new market because the thought of letting my hard work go for under 2300 is a kick in the balls. I'm doing decent with my small game market (anything under a QP) as I have always been. But even that price is starting to crash. I was hearing my patients telling me they could get the same quality product for cheaper. I'm not in the business to rip off the little man. So I adjust accordingly.
The best option, for top price, is to ship it to a buyer in a market that's a little less flooded and who will pay more. But that's a very serious route to take and it's not something I really wanna get involved in.
The black market whole sell isn't any better as far as price goes. It's in the 2100-2400 range.
After looking months for a buyer who would pay at least 2800 I couldn't find one. I couldn't sit on my product any longer and watch it degrade in quality about 3-4 months. Plus with new batches coming in, the old needed to go. I was forced in take 2100-2300.
It's seems to be worth more to harvest the plant, dry, then debud, don't waste time trimming and blast everything into a concentrate whether that be co2 or BHO. You might end up making more on your pound that way.
