CRC and live are gonna be the long game for smokers. Thca rocks are just trophies. Thca pulverized will be good for edibles. Distillate is too readily available for the thca powder to compete for that market space imo. The fact you can just CRC everything (crude) and make a sellable product is going to keep the cheap buyers coming.

Why would I get a roto and short path when I can just get a cls and crc and super cold setup. For making low grade and high grade products.

The only reason I’m even remotely adding those line of products to be purchased later is because I want to learn conversions. But for a thc license. CLS + solventless seems to be the plan.

Diamonds with no terps are cheap. Basically a byproduct of people making live resin carts. It’s the terpy stuff that has more value.

In my market research buying concentrates. I don’t find this to be true. I can get the terps for about 30-40% cheaper than the raw diamond Thc-a. So far just talking wholesale. I see pure Thc-a is the most expensive wholesale.

I personally know at least 1 lab that buys a metric ton of powders every other month, and that produce over 100lbs of diamonds a week.

Black market has diamonds and anything else hyped at a higher price. Bag appeal. The fresh terpenes will be the winners imo in the future. In comparison.

I think there’s just a lack of high volume production that isn’t inherently used up in the course of the manufacturing. Who’s really making thca diamonds and selling them by the kilo at cheap prices when they’re worth much more as single units of finished goods?

I have cash in hand. Who do I call?

Man, that said snake oil from a mile away. The problem is that the CBD crew is so desperate they are all over anything that brings the price of a L up over $350 and a KG over $500.

That’s my understanding after experiencing it. Fuck that game. Thc or bust. Thc license that can do conversions just is end goal.

I give whatever the plant gives.

I never steal the terps. it’s almost blasphemy…

but whoever does …can I buy some the terps

SanitatemDime · October 11, 2020, 9:34pm

I’ve been after them too. Everyone buys them up for their live resin carts . Thca can be made from crude. HTE not so much.

Killa12345 · October 11, 2020, 9:43pm

I can buy the HTE under $3000 a lb but the Pure THC-a Faceted diamonds are around $6000 a lb for me. I can buy high TAC sugar for under the HTE price but it would need a recrystallization and more labor.

I know my largest client moves his HTE extremely fast but is no where near the price of his diamonds.

% terp to thca ratio?

Apothecary36 · October 11, 2020, 9:45pm

Its not all the same quality. It’s really tough for me to see a standard price and say yep thats what every batch should go for

Killa12345 · October 11, 2020, 9:46pm

im always buying it and its usually at a set price. When your only making Grade A Top Shelf, its pretty consistent in pricing i find.

And im really never negotiating. I know what good concentrates cost. When i know im getting a deal…i dont argue. I give the artist the asking price.

I’m just here for the neat convo and the “holy hoos gow” of the stones, also really neat principle it operates on, thats a new challenge, and nut to crack. Kudos @TheWillBilly. Neat stuff.
