Average NORCAL or SW OREGON yield is 3-5 pounds a plant....
Colorado and Michigan outdoor grows yield about a pound a plant if you’re lucky
Forest fires this season played tricks on flowering I’d guess on the west coast or so I heard from Arcata
The acreage is kind of inconsequential up to a point....ten square foot a plant and say a 100 pound good soil hole to feed is all u need outdoors...legal grows have to be fenced and locked....
Indoors it’s all about wattage
The retail markets in Oregon and Washington state and of course Colorado are like a big sucking sound acquiring all the legal weed grown everywhere legal to supply retail or medical in those states
That and the edibles and CBD markets have driven wholesale prices up double what you’re quoting on that article
Fall harvest will drop it some but probably 1700 minimum on the coast
Colorado and Michigan will remain over 2000.....pot dispensaries in Michigan today are paying 2600 to marked barcode certified growers
Denver spot market price is 2133.00 per pound which I think is accurate per Syndex
Pot stores in Denver retailing 17-28% THCA at 15-25/bucks per1.75 grams pack of bud
They basically double what they pay on average far as I can tell unless they grow it themselves in which case it’s lower baring grow issues....which are common
It’s a fascinating business window frankly
