Mycelium Farmer
Commercial Cultivator
I have theorized and fictional answers for your questions. Answers that do not share the same reality of any license's, permits, or businesses possibly affiliated with me or this forum.Tissue culture clones, that's awesome.
$5.50 each is a brilliant price.
So your premium say that 100 lbs of Krasher for instance.
I've got so many questions but my curiosity mostly is sales?
Dry trim and cure we can get to later.
100 lbs how do you package seal ? and sell that?
Dispensaries I assume buy it?
By the lb?
Or 10 lbs?
Or the whole 100 ?
Mind if I inquire as to what you get per ?
If you don't want to say I understand.
And shipping??? How do you transport and guard that ?
Do the cops ever give you a hand time? I've heard a horror Stories?
Last question today I promise.
No rush ever on answering either, again I appreciate the time.
Has the banking system caught up with things there?
I read years ago there was a problem with deposits because of Federal Regs?
Have they let you run it like every other legal and needed business in Cali?
No rush, and if I ask questions your uncomfortable answering I apologize in advance.
Just skip them over.
This is so interesting my mind is going a 100 miles an hour with everything I've been dieing to know.
Stay safe

Premium Wedding Krasher harvest
Cure.. in the dry barn... Kept 60-66 degrees at 45-65% humidity for about 2 weeks. The goal is 60-60-16... 60 degrees 60% humidity for 16 days. This first harvest was all dry trimmed.
Packaging.. directly finish trimming, 460 grams of trimmed herb with no 'smalls' in it goes into a 2 gallon turkey bag.. the Humboldt standard pound bag. Those are stored in hard plastic black&yellow totes. The individual buds go through QC with the trim process, then the trimming goes through 2 different QC checks when finished... and then determination on whether it need further burp/curing or not.
Next step, I start showing samples to distro's. Legal sales are difficult in the California market right now. The distributers are flooded with low price weed from huge farms in So Cal and.. well... the whole state I guess. Therefor getting a bite on a sale is difficult but great news anymore, And it also means the weed needs to pass a QC check list with the buyers/distro's before getting considered... the nose needs to be good, absolutely no smalls, no shaggy trimming, good structure, dense buds, sticky, frosty, purple or gassy sells best and fastest. Anything that is just missing one thing on the checklist sits on that back shelf of storage for days, months, and then eventually is composted.
During January up until currently, I have been still trying to move last years product. Product that we didn't want to sell at rock bottom prices last year at what we thought was the worst of the California Cannabis market crash. I sold finished premium pounds in lots of 100lbs as low as $100/lb from last years harvest. That was the same price the black market was offering too. Hindsight, it should have been sold last year when we got offers around $700+... but at the time $700 was way to low for us to even consider accepting. We were receiving $1400+ a pound just months before from the distro's and that was the same market price on the black market.
Back in the prime, sales were only done in lots of 100lbs... serious buyers serious sellers. nothing smaller. Currently, product sells in any quantity people are willing to pay. For a lot of farms, the white/legal market has been too difficult to move product and they have been composting it, or moving it other ways. People moving fresh weed on the black and legal market right now are getting offers between $300-$600 if its not indoor, $550-$1200 for indoor. It's crazy. It's super hard to keep small cannabis farms alive right now, thousands of farms for sale between Humboldt, Mendo, and Trinity.
Transportation... We finished our county permits and currently finishing our state permits to be our own distro, to be able to transport product legally. As long as you create a transfer manifest on METRC before driving, no problems with cops. Needs to be in an approved double locked cargo van or trailer, usually air conditioned. Can't mix the guns with the weed, so no real guard transporting but no problems here either, especially not locally. People are literally giving away pounds and lots of thousands of clones on the curbside around here... and transporters never carry cash... so there's not enough value versus risk for someone to try and take down a transport van. Not to say its never happened... there are horror stories indeed.
And to make these more difficult, no banking does not treat us like any other California business. Always issues. But we do have banking.. and I am able to deposit checks from legal distro's without too many issues. Sometimes they really like to hold the checks for a long time though.
lol fantastic gardenz and beautiful plantz my friend.
and hopefully pick up a few tipz and trickz along the way.
.... I'm just gonna sit here quietly and eat snackz.... Mind blown
