I often wonder what the online mushroom stores are paying per lb. They charge $80 an ounce and only purchase wholesale. They also have to package it into mylar bags, or the seller is doing that themselves. If the growers were getting $500 CDN a lb, I'd be shocked.



we're lucky to get $300/lb for singles now... it's fuckin lame, I was getting 3x's that when covid hit... since then I've totally quit growing mush, not worth the jail time if I got caught.. the risk outweighs reward now🤷‍♂️

From the world’s largest retailer. I don’t go through a ton of grain so I just buy 10lb rye at a time. $24

Right on. I'm still hunting for better grain than the producers pride oats I picked up at tractor supply. I've got WBS in the basement I might try out again. I also found a food co-op nearby selling wheat but it's on the pricey side. Might just have to admit to myself that not living near big farms is gonna drive the cost up

I have a small circle of olddads that really like my gummies. When they buy a sticker for $100 they get 100 gummies as a gift! 😂 there  are 35g per batch of 100 gummies. I’ve found this route to be most beneficial.

All of my cult expenses are covered and I get a little extra fuck around money. My wife likes nice restaurants, daughter is a little fashionista and my son likes switch games. Comes in handy when I need to get work done in my vehicles as a barter tool as well.

But yeah nobody is getting rich off this shit and when they try it usually ends badly

I found a place online that has rye by the pallet. I’ve considered buying one and then repackaging it and opening up an online store but the numbers just don’t add up for all the time required to do so.

I tried WBS a few months ago. Overfilled the jars and then one broke and I had millet all over my kitchen. So fuck that shit! 😂 I do t mind splurging on the good stuff. I’m not trying to produce more than 20qts at a time anyway.

thats unfortunate u have a tractor supply but no actual feed stores around. maybe take a road trip sometime and stock up if thats an option. even they have gotten more expensive depending on the grain but, i can still get a 50lb bag of proso millet for 30$ at least. good luck out there

I had coir enriched with calcium and liquid ferts, leftovers from the jars I sterilized to spawn ingeli and subtrops to. Confession: I used these leftovers, without treatment, for an outdoor grow. Didn't think at all! Mixed with grain spawn and put outside. The sub molded over in two days. What a waste of spawn.
We came back from vacation and the entire thing was crawling with gnats, while still triching out. The mice wouldn't even have it

But today...

Sounds about right, I was offered the same and the expectation was that I produced 5kg a month at that price.

If I couldn't support with 5kg they weren't interested.
You can imagine my response.

To make it worse they told me if I produced less than 5kg they wouldn't take the stock so I basically had to produce around 6kg in 30 days otherwise I sat with the stock.

It happened once with 2kg before they setup the ridiculous demands so I just told them to f-off.

man that is fucked indeed. but a big part of that is regulation, taxes id imagine no?? i know a couple dispo owners who grow their own shit and dont seem to make a lot of money overall. pretty sad really as id gladly pay more than 30$ an eighth for some killer nuggets that are actually cured properly. most dispo weed is sub par in my opinion

Here in Canada, the grey market weed is way better than the legal stuff. Like night and day difference. Too many regulations that needs to be followed in order to make it into the legal market. Legal vape cartridges are better quality, but their shatter is expensive and shitty.

Grey market is like $250-$300 a QP for AA. You can get ounces of AAAA for $130

We tried to move some incredible outdoor here and the dispo owner told us it wasn't flushed properly so he would only offer a certain amount, basically half price.

When we actively engaged the dispo owner for his reasoning he admitted he was short on cash and tried to force our price down so that he could make more.

It's not even big corporations, everyone is trying to make a quick buck off another person's hard work.

I’ve met with some of the people that own shops in DC and they are all the same. They want to pay $300 lb and then sell an 1/8 for $50. Or actually a sticker, the 1/8 is free! 😂

I find the low dose gummies in constant demand. People use them for micro dosing and take them every day. Just something for everyone to keep in mind.
