The U.S. Spot Index averaged $1,621 per pound in November, off by 1.3% from the mean price of $1,642 per pound observed last month. November is the first month to see a downturn in its average national composite price since May of this year, in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic when record-breaking sales that extended into the summer – and autumn in some cases – were just beginning to pick up. 

Notably, rates for each individual grow type on the national level were up in November relative to the prior month. The overall downturn in the U.S. Spot was due to increased proportions of lower-priced outdoor flower from this year’s harvest making its way to market. 

Additionally, the Spot Indices of some of the country’s largest state markets – namely California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington – have begun to trend downward recently. We have seen sales level off in those states – and others – after peaking in the mid-late summer. The four aforementioned markets are also the ones where outdoor cultivation is most prevalent and the largest volumes of flower are traded.
