The analysts had additional comments this week about the dip in the spot price:
After four consecutive weeks of price rises, the U.S. Spot Index ticked downward very slightly this week to just over $1,675 per pound. The decrease in the composite rate defied the fact that all three grow types saw increases in their volume-weighted averages; although, like the U.S. Spot, pricing for indoor flower was virtually flat. Ultimately, the increased share of the total observed volume traded made up by lower-priced outdoor product caused the overall decline.
Indoor flower prices ranged from $800 to $6,500 per pound, with the median price at $1,900. Greenhouse flower prices ranged from $1,000 to $3,250 per pound, and the median price was $1,242. Outdoor flower prices ranged from $800 to $1,700 per pound, while the median price was $1,350.
