How Wholesale Flower Is Sold

Flower trades by the pound, and the pound is described three ways: where it was grown (indoor, greenhouse or light-dep, outdoor), what part of the plant it is (tops, smalls and popcorn, trim and shake, fresh frozen), and how it tested. Buyers ask for the lot size, the harvest date, the moisture content and the certificate of analysis before they ask the price.

On BudTrader every flower listing states the cut and the cultivation type, and sellers can attach the COA so a buyer sees potency, terpenes and the compliance panel without asking. Prices show to licensed buyers in the same state once their license has been checked.
