Why is kush so expensive

They range from old-fashioned profiteering to a state law that has kept supply to a minimum, from a host of expensive regulations to an embryonic agency timid about using its legal authority to drive down prices.

But such steps may not be taken for years, if at all. That siphoned off millions that could have assisted lower-income customers. Drawing upon analyst reports, national data and interviews with experts and industry executives, here is an examination of prices in a new marketplace that the state has turned into what economists term an oligopoly — a sector dominated by a small group of powerful players watched by a handful of impotent regulators.

Cannabis growers and dispensary owners charge what they want. Growers in Western states and Maine may cultivate cannabis outside. The benefit of indoor growing is consistent quality and purity.

Growers have greater control over the crop indoors. In a warehouse, growers can turn over more than five harvests a year. But it all comes at a cost. In fact, growing under lights and carefully calibrated conditions doubles the cost of producing marijuana, Tuttleman said.

Owners of weed businesses grumble about having to comply with Pennsylvania requirements nonexistent in other states. Pennsylvania demands that producers test their cannabis for molds and other impurities not once, but twice — at harvest and again when the crop is packaged. Few other states impose a second test. Moreover, Pennsylvania is the only state to require producers to destroy crops if they fail the second test, executives say. Industry practice elsewhere calls for growers to reprocess a slightly tainted batch into oils or concentrates.

We got alot of indoor growing here and our outdoor bud cycle is much shorter so all we can do outdoors is hybrids autos and indicas. No true sativa can finish here. But mostly its the bag appeal, those nice round rockhard nugs. Indoors no one wants to spend the extra time to grow other strains, kush's bud fast and are done weeks. Add that to the rappers and the hype and you have the high price. Kush is an indica subclass so its just an indica, which is known for couchlock and putting you to sleep.

In Canada sometimes its hard to find anything but kush. Also most kush strains are very small short plants with notoriously low yields. So a grower makes a choice does he or she choose the 8 ounce hybrid to grow or 3 2. They do not grow like a typical kush, they grow very tall with heavy yields.
