Wanna bet? I get plenty of 80-90% frozen bails of Pro Mix every winter. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean it doesn't happen all the time in winter months. No wholesaler will store skids of Pro Mix inside wasting $1000's per month on heating a huge warehouse just to keep them from freezing.
It's more of an idea I've been mulling around for years but am very unlikely to act upon. I really have no idea of the market potential and no retail business experience so it would most likely be a fool's errand.
Well I'm the 100% wrong guy to do retail as I hate up selling people and I will call out a product if its BS and I've had issues with manufacturers and wholesalers when they heard I was call out products but the reality is if its shit its shit. The most important is building trust but if you don't know anyone locally and they don't know you that takes time.It's more of an idea I've been mulling around for years but am very unlikely to act upon.

Thanks for the tips and offer of more tho. View attachment 4136466
In late spring, summer early fall its usually fresh as its farm season and there's 100's of farms here. Once farm season is over its a bit slower and some of the skids sit on the yard for a while.
There will be some money in consulting but if you know what you're doing small can turn into something good. Back in the day one of the guys at my first store ran growing classes and people paid $350 for 8 week course with 4-6 hours 1 day per week. There were usually about 20 people per course Not bad for $3500 per month for 4-6 hours of work per week.I'd be better off selling for a store I think. Got the gift of gab and lots of years growing under my belt along with extensive reading on all aspects of growing and climate control other than setting up large grow rooms with mini-splits and commercial stuff.
Been thinking about trying some consultation work for all the small growers who will want to be growing their 4 plants once the laws change. How to advertise tho without outing myself locally and getting my own grow busted.
I only know one other guy that grows in the area so not big base to start from. Shifty f'er too and I wish he didn't know I was growing but he knows it's small time shit and not for profit.
I can supply you with a superior product than ProMix, shipped dry year round from ON. How many skids do you want?
You're too late, retail hydroponics market in BC is all but dead, I expect 1/3-1/2 of the 125 or so hydro stores in BC to be shut down with in 12-18 months after legalization. and don't matter how good your product is if if can't come in at way cheaper then the current market leader and you can get a big group to jump on it, its not going to sell. There's lots of Pro Mix alternatives here but none, even Sunshine mix can match its sales. I can get custom mixes done and packaged here too but gain takes huge $$$$ for just one store to bring something to the market and have the masses jump on it.
$500-800/lb's lol (not laughing in a good way) and that's if you can find someone to buy it. The sales in my shop which was the busiest in the area have dropped at least 1/2 in the last 3 months. I went from selling 4-8 skids per week to 1 maybe 2.
Ooooooh 5% of the market selling to dispensaries it not the market buddy. You can get insane looking stuff here for $1200 so you're $2000 is a rip off and good luck if you're in BC and dispensaries can no longer take you're weed which is about to happen in Vancouver. I know lots of growers that sell to them and atm is the only way they can move their stuff. Once the dispensaries are done it'll be a another massive glut.LOL you and your "business" is a joke. $500-$800 a pound maybe for your garbage. Funny how other folks are still getting 2k+ for high grade. Keep selling your shit to garbage growers bud lol
Cheers
Thank you again for proving the point I was making. You do not have the slightest clue outside of your garbage shop and weed.
Too many licenses across Canada which finally cause a peak glut in the market and other provinces can supply their own now. Same things is happening in California price is falling and its really messing up the market at all levels from wholesale to lots of hydro stores closing as no one is growing,So im curious why BC market is fckd right now ?
Sorry OP.
Thanks for the info
. I've been wondering if the same thing will happen here in nova scotia.
That was BC’s big problem, their BM went to a dispensary model, whereas the rest of the country stayed old school plug (with the exception of some in the 6ix). $2k+/lbs (AAAA) are the norm here in ON...all day, everyday!
I doubt it, NS is too small and far away from the big grower supply provinces.Thanks for the info
