Yah its everywhere and you can get it anywhere.....
There is still alot of demand out here ....
most people out here dont have a licence...
so they go to people to get bud from the collective for them and whoever gets it....... (me sometimes) makes a couple bucks off them for doing it.... charge them more...hehe...
There is alot of shitty weed going around for bout 20 to 30 dollars an 1/8 .... mostly hazes or outdoor stuff .... from fruity strains... not bad ...but not premo

oh please. come try and sell your awesome outdoor in socal, you won't get more than 3000, and that is for the absolute best. meanwhile, i get 5000 all day. why is that? sheer force of will? no. people look at my indoor nugs and say "let me get my cash". There is no hesitation. Believe me, it isn't salesmanship. So, please explain why A++ indoor is worth so much more than A++ outdoor in the most competitive pot market on earth. I'm listening. Oh wait, maybe you've never been down here and seen killer indoor. Yeah, the indoor from up north isn't as good, not sure why, maybe a cultural thing? Anyway, indoor A++ kush RULES down here, and it ain't easy to make, and yes, it generates greenhouse gasses to do it, like every other stinking business on earth, aside from outdoor organic growing.
I guess it's time for the inexperienced kush haters to flame...but please don't bother on this thread.
reply too thcv (other member)
i am not hating. And for your info i have had herb around the world and lots of the stuff from so cal. I will admit, they like their innies more than outties but to me i see that as a cultural thing like how popular culture is all about money and bling and cars. Well its not like that up here in rural norcal, your heart and the way you treat people is how you are judged, not by the size of your wad of cash..... but to say that so cal is pumpin out better than nor has no basis, you just have more kids and newbs shouting out to the world what they are doing!!!!!
Sad to say most patient down there cannot afford more than a gram every few days, that is bullshit imo. I would guess that most of the stuff down there comes from up here. All the kushes floating around are not even real kush either, doesnt that trip you out? OG kush doesnt much smoke at all like real kush genetics from the hindu kush mountain range of the mid east. Just a name! And so what if dudes like the indoor, it just brings out the rats that smell money and id rather deal with mi bretheren than some bobby babylon.
i went down and was supposed to meet up with a owner of a few disp's. anyway i get down there and it is the mother fucking russian mafia....you will be hard to find that scene here in the real norcal.
Here's is what i know: i have grown indoor and outdoor for years, dozens of different strains. The idea that outdoor is more potent than indoor is not true. If you compare perfect ID and OD, the ID has a faster onset, and the OD takes a little longer, so after 1 hit on ID you feel it, but the OD takes a few. After half a joint, you are wicked high from either one. I also find that indoors makes a purer representation of the strain, by that i mean, for example, bubba and trainwreck ID seem like totally different drugs, but OD they share more similar highs (while still pretty different). I am so tired of hearing you guys talk about OD being more potent--it JUST ISN'T TRUE. They are both potent, but have slightly different onset and high profiles. Outdoor tends to have more cloudy and amber trichs, indoor has more clear, even when both are harvested at the "right" time. So that means the outdoor has higher levels of CBN which mellows out the edge of the THC high, which i guess is this idea that it is "more stoney". I do find a lot of outdoor growers prefer outdoor, but that is certainly no surprise. I have a OD friend who has a huge garden and he refuses to smoke my herb because he says it is too strong and fucks him up too much. We both grow bubba and other kushes, so it isn't a strain issue.
Bud size: yes, you can get torso size buds outdoors, but that's usually strains like Big Bud. The kushes do not produce big buds outdoors that are ANYTHING CLOSE to my buds. When i go around to the dispensaries, i literally never see any bud like mine aside from 1 dispensary in Hwood which everyone hates on but which has the best pot in town.
Value: Just cuz YOU can't get 5K a lb doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Please. This isn't a dick measuring contest, but facts are facts, and the places i go to all prefer my ID and pay top dollar. I am not trying to inflate prices; i have said in other threads that i used to get 6400 for og and those days are truly long gone. But whenever the price goes down, it keeps a difference between ID and OD of at least $1000, with ID having the advantage. If it wasn't worth more to grow indoors, i wouldn't bother--it's SO MUCH CHEAPER and EASIER to grow outdoors, you think i WANT the hassle? I do this as a business, as well as a passion and for my own medicine, and those of you that are conflicted about the capitalism aspect of growing pot are either in denial, or cannot grow decent weed. No matter, you aren't bullshitting me, i provide top quality meds for people who like top quality things.
It might be like "bling bling" but, fuck, this is a business! Porsche is doing a lot better than GM these days, no? My grow is small enough that I don't need to cater to the low-to-mids world, and i don't care if it pisses off the hippies on this forum. Capitalism is real; LA is the 2nd biggest city in the wealthiest country; people like killer looking and smelling buds that blow them away when they smoke. That is what i provide. The fact that some of the most famous stoners on earth regularly buy my weed will probably sound like bs to all you haters, but that's the market i'm in, and it's true.
Some asked if i use air filter? Jesus, do you guys even read the thread before posting? YES i filter the SHIT out of my air with CARBON FILTERS. YES they catch GASSES as well as PARTICLES. Get educated before you post please. At least make an effort.
And as for all you outdoor growers, i am sorry that you can't get more for your herb. But if that weren't the case, no one in cali would grow indoors. It is an economic decision, but i also believe that, at least in my sealed/filtered room, that my medicine is purer, and no one has made a coherent argument against that.
Now time to go drink a nice IPA here on the east coast. Later
