There she be, a grow got theirs, they could not live inside the laws here in OK, and just had to do interstate distributions. Sad just sad to see all those luvleys go down. But they followed truck loads out of the grow and right across the state line. Big boys you are being watched!
 
I hope they bust all those cartel style operations. Its giving regular growers that are trying to do it right a bad reputation. Destroying legitimate mom and pop businesses, they can't make any profit at $500 a pound. The dispensaries that are buying up all that product need to be held accountable too.
 
Thanks for the link. I'd like information about the grow lights. It appears to be bulbs and tubes. But I've got cataracts.

They are trying to get control of this area of the market, I wonder how they followed them, drones maybe? And what about the workers that may not have known what management was doing?
Me myself and I think we need to restructure the grow license. As it is now the deep pockets can grow all they want, while the little folks can only do what they can afford to do (then go under). What I would like to see is something like this for 1-100 plants, 101-1000 plants, 1001-10,000 plants, 10,001 - 100,000 plants and so on with each level costing more so the little folks that live in this state can get their foot in the door. Then issue no further permits to out of state investors, keep the money here.
 
I agree, I am from Maine and know somebody who had a small grow operation and was licensed by the state. He recently shutdown his operation because prices were way too low after too many people were licensed by the State to grow. Despite low prices to the growers, the dispensary prices in Maine are ridiculous!
 
I'm using a phone so bear with me....I had to chime in at this post very near & dear.
I don't don't grow large but have many friends who do smaller legal grow operations state licensed. W
e've had recently several very large illegal grow busts similar to this one. It's gotten so bad that they are not issuing new licenses because of the flood of massive flows of illegal grow. Human trafficking, poor working conditions, shootings and chemical dumping...
Those are the practices we rec an small legal and large legal growers saw coming. Everyone knew about the wild west how under staffed how stupid it was to think this was going to slow down the illegal growers. People are being shot and harassed for living near these sites. It's so flooded here we see these busts weekly in Oregon.
 
Over supply, mixed with greed. I saw one dispo that wanted $600.00/oz. I would never, ever...
 
I have heard new licensing here is on hold also, one of the reasons is the waist water. Another is someone thinks there are way to many grows now.
The mafia is not going to take this easy, they have made fortunes with it while it was illegal, now they will fight to keep a market share. But as I understand this one, it was licensed.
I dont go to the despos, I could if I needed, so I dont keep up with the current prices but I have not heard anyone saying it went down. I did hear of a place offering $50 OZs, and what I was shown looked/smelled nice, but it was a 420 sale.
 
Finding even a minor league grow is super easy to find. Spend a few minutes on Google Earth and you can find out what's going on around you. Either greenhouses in cleared forest patches or rows of sun-grown plants.
 
420 sale here was four 1/8ths for $140. Best normal or deal prices are $300/oz.

Another thought, my nephew gets stuff from a guy. Blue z..z was hard and manicured like dispensary weed but not that strong. Do dispos dump bud like that on the street if the % tests out low, instead of processing it into other forms?
 
Puglover1 Per your Post #7.1.
I've been curious if commercial and boutique growers grow autos. Probably not. Just curious. Maybe more probable that the collective persons eponymously known as 'A. Guy' would do it for quick harvests? Great buds but not high-grade.
 
The grow next to me sent 1000 males to be blown into oil, and I hear one can walk up and get weed from them. So IDK.
 
His friend has a good job, hides what he moves from his wife, he has kids in school and sports. I don't know if he gets everything from one source, or not. He gets different strains, concentrates and cartridges. The price isn't worth it to me, if I hit dispo deals the quality is worth spending a little bit more. But it always seems like dispo buds trimmed, not from home growers. And I'd never vape a questionable cart.
 
Here in Ontario were we have had legal rec since 2018 there are still a tonne of problems. Only in the last couple months have the authorities finally declared a 54% share of the market is now legal( of course they have no real way of knowing the illegal size). They are pushing out a lot of info about how bad, or miss labeled illegal weed products can be. Here’s an article if your interested.

My understanding is that some big growers are starting to turn some attention to autos as genetics improve and they realize some benefits, like light schedule ( no need for light dep anymore). If they can be used to get another crop per year you bet they will.
 
One view could be that this is all propaganda, another would be that this is nothing new and has been the standard for years. I would be more concerned with underground cannabis is being laced with fentanyl, a strong argument for growing your own.
 
I agree with CK, I’m very concerned with fentanyl lacing. It’s the leading cause of death in the US for 18-45 yr olds now.
The numbers of victims last year is the equivalent of two jumbo jets crashing with no survivors each week.
It’s a national emergency that is being ignored.
