QUOTES:

Kandy Kush - $400

Saint Charles, ILLINOIS

“Smells like a delicious chronic candy popsicle! Best smoke in about a year.”

Skunk - $400

Boston, MASSACHUSETTS

“Organically, and locally grown here in MA. Unfortunately this is some of the last of the skunk that will be grown by the grower, but something this good should be rare. A clean burning, smooth tasting smoke that only gets better everyday in its jar. Long buds, and sticky as hell. You'll be able to add some fingerhash to your joints from breaking this stuff up.”

Purple Passion - $600

New York, NEW YORK

“What a wonderful, fruity, purple strain. Beautiful taste, smell and appearance. Kinda pricey but the high is well worth it.”

Te Kakariki - $350

Auckland – NEW ZEALAND

“This local strain has won the Auckland Canna Cup four times now. Super sticky – almost too sticky to roll. Delicious piney lemon flavour, similar to Rhino or NLxSP. Very hard to get.

MK-Ultra - $240

Toronto, ONTARIO

“Sticky, very dank taste that lingers in your mouth. Awesome high. Knocks you out!”

if you're paying more than $300 for an Oz. of Top Grade cannabis cup winning strain, than you're getting ripped off! Here in SoCal you can get ANY srain you want for dirt cheap, even if you don't know anybody. To all you people that live in the midwest and the dirty-dirty, you probably don't even have a real strain, you were probably lied to. I've seen your guys "Kush/Haze" in the south and midwest and it was just schwag with seeds and stems, but somebody told you it was dank, but chances are, you've been ripped off. Come on out to any state on the west coast and you'll know what REAL strain is...

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE BRING SOME GOOD STUFF TO: West Virginia. No one here has any really good weed. If someone wanted to get rid of some really good stuff then this is the place to come too. PLEASE BE DESCREET

I think if you could bring the price down closer to $200 an OZ. you'd get rid of it faster. Making it affordable means you could make more money quicker. Making it affordable means returning customers. Making it affordable means more people will try it & buy it more often. Don't over price your product, if it's more affordable you'll create a better customer flow, which means you'll make more money in the long run.

High pricing limits your customers purchasing power, duh!

Making it more affordable creates more customers, duh!

Grow tip for the day: A moving over head light can increase
your growing area by 25% per light. So: A:Run out and buy that
turning,high dollar light fixture,or, B: Tie a string too top
of your oscillating fan and attach too your reflector,adjust for proper swing. If your still playing old school,and using those high wattage,heavy lights,be sure too secure fan. And,for the closet guy,who can't increase his area,it will increase your yield by lighting the shady spots. Please send royalty checks tooo..............
