The Weed is Done!

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:49:46 GMT

The fruits of Croptober have arrivedDon’t get me wrong,I love Croptober. It’s a vibe, as people work to get the full-term annual harvest chopped. But honestly, I like November a little better, when all the weed is done. It’s like the playoffs for me. So many of the new flavors we’ll see every year first start to get out there in November. It’s a lot more commercially viable to do mega phenohunts outside. From those hunts, we find obscure outlier flavor profiles that truly represent new and exciting tastes. There also is a lot of value for the consumer to be had in November. While some will wait to move their product until prices bounce after harvest season’s flood, plenty will have the preference for cash in hand as opposed to product. And those people will have killer deals on pot this month. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some of the deals and steals you’ll be seeing this month will attempt to push old products, not the state’s fresh 20...
