Shmoop aside from the faker there have been a few people in here that could have helped you but did not do the best they could. Do you have one dispensary that you shop at most often? Do you talk to the manager/owner of that shop, like small talk before you buy? That would be a good place to start selling ... fuck what he offers you. If you are on a first name basis all ready that's the best place to start. If they buy your smoke at 150$ an ounce and put it up for sale at 400$ just be like yo! I grew that and that's how good it is! Supply him if people ask for your shit he'll want more and more than cut em off. Yo im selling it to doo doo head down the street unless you can match what he's offering. Then make up a number. Got into a ramble ... pick a place to start ... develop a rapport ... work from there ... how you pick the starting point is up to you. BTW from east of the Mississippi so don't really know about that scene but sales is all about relationships.

Whatever kids.... you know what I would suggest to you shmoop, get your self a ten strip of good L and eat that thing and put yourslef in perspective. Really, I'm sorry you for whatever reason thought that you'd be able to just jump in with ten zip and start making a your fortune and start saving for an early retirement but life isn't like that. You cannot command prevailing wages in any industry without ample experience. Get used to it because its this way in every business. If you keep growing and get really good and get some really good genetics you might be able to cultivate a realtionship with a club that will take all your product all the time but they will not give you top dollar right away they only do that for their friends. yes its not what you know its who you know so maybe you should go in to some of these businesses and gt to know them maybe buy some hash or something but you'll never get anywhere stepping to them with an ego or a sense of entitlement, not in a place where people have been making their living grwoing for generations, and thats what you have in Nor Cal. The think anything less is neive. How would you like it if you did something for year and years and then suddenly everyone was doing it and undercutting your prices left and right. Your a "new comer" dude, you want more money you have to sell a few crops off cheap and then maybe you can demand some extra after you step up your game.

Yeah, I like that. That actually was the first place I went. He said he needed it bone dry, and mine is still curing in jars. I suppose I could take it back to him after a while in the jars... and after the outdoor rush flames out a little

im in norcal kid...Sacramento to be exact and vending flowers is very hard out here. i do some brokering for a few guys who run 16-20 1000watt set ups and they drop top shelf purple for 2 rackS my man. u are better off looking for a small shop in a more rural setting if possible as they are really into helping there members. also make sure u ask for all ur paper work back when places say no. every time u allow them to photo copy ur script u run the risk of them using ur script on their so called co-op grows. i was at a place in chico last year and they had 10 light upstaris and 10 more down stairs. its called stacking scripts and its widely and overly abused in this industry. luckily my main income is from edible which is just as hard of an egg to crack but we been at it 3 years almost and have some great relationships in san jose, santa rosa and here in town. hope hope to open up the first edible only cafe type dispensary in sac within the next year or two. only know 2 guys currently getting 2700$ a lb and one has "green ribbon" an unatainable addiral like 50day sativa cut and the other is reserve privadas cup winning "og kush" with the densest largest og nugs ive seen at any place ive ever been to. coincidentally they both manage hydro shops lol. its not a scam just a closed network for the most part. gotta WOW someone to get ur foot in the door. good luck budbud and shoot me a pm if u have any questions u dont need commentary on lol u guys are sum real keyboad cowboys lol

I sell to the clubs in cali and get pretty good prices, but of course they will try to low ball you its a business. Try calling some delveriry services they seem to be better.

Yeah I was actually doing that a lot. I would go into places to sign up with the co-op buy a couple grams of the top shelf just sorta scout the talent and shoot the shit with the people about vending and such. I swear I had people telling me I could get like 2400-2800 no problem and that they just bought anything that walked through the door if it wasnt moldy or what have you..

I have called one, but I'm not to thrilled about some guy wanting to come to my house to check out my bud... or meeting him a parking lot for that matter.... If I get screwed I want there to be like an office or some place I can file a "formal complaint" if you know what I'm sizzlin ;)

The dude I used to trim for sold Bubba Kush to the clubs in san jose for like 2800-3200 (supposedly, I never verified it or anything...) And also; he said they want it a little wet still so that it will cure on the shelf... which is fucking way smarter than getting it totally dry and letting it turn to dust in the jars like they do in Sac
