How much is an ounce of THCA flower?
The median price of every live listing at each weight, by grade — with the number of listings behind each figure in brackets. These are real listed prices, not the per-gram average multiplied out: buying weight earns a large discount, so a pound costs far less than 448 × the going rate for a gram. A dash means too few live listings to quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does THCA flower cost?
As of September 2026, THCA flower averages $5.45 per gram for exotic, $5.09 per gram for indoor, $2.57 per gram for greenhouse, $1.75 per gram for outdoor, and $0.90 per gram for shake and trim. Those are live retail averages across every vendor we track, computed from 10,585 recorded price points and refreshed several times a day.
How much is an ounce of THCA flower?
For indoor THCA flower, an eighth (3.5g) typically runs $34.99, an ounce (28g) $123, a quarter-pound (112g) $338, and a pound (448g) $925, based on the median of every live listing we track at each weight. That is $4.39 per gram at an ounce against $2.06 at a pound — the bulk discount is real and large, so weight prices never scale proportionally.
What counts as a good price for THCA flower?
Compare it against the average for the same grade, not against THCA flower generally. Indoor currently averages $5.09 per gram, while shake and trim averages $0.90 — so a price that looks high for one grade can be a genuine bargain in another. Anything meaningfully below its grade average is a good deal; well below it is worth a look at the lab results before buying.
What is the cheapest type of THCA flower?
Shake and trim is the cheapest grade we track, averaging $0.90 per gram across 28 live listings, against $5.45 for exotic. Buying by grade rather than by strain is the single biggest lever on what you pay per gram.
How often are these THCA prices updated?
We re-check every vendor's listings several times a day and recompute the averages on each run, so the figures above reflect live listed prices rather than a periodic survey. The month-over-month column compares the current average against August 2026, drawn from the 10,585 price points recorded to date.
Methodology
Every figure on this page is computed from prices we collect directly from vendor sites, re-checked several times a day and normalized to price per gram. The "current" column is the live average across every available product in that grade right now; the "August 2026" column is the average of the 10,585 price points we have banked, restricted to that month. The weekly trend sparkline shows each grade's recorded average over time; weeks with fewer than three recorded price points are dropped as low-confidence.
The All / Bulk / Smalls toggle re-cuts the same grades by size and sort. Bulk is any listing of a quarter-pound (112g) or larger; Smalls are the smaller buds vendors sell at a discount. These are subsets of each grade, not a separate split — a bulk indoor listing counts in both the Indoor and Bulk views — so the rows are a second lens on the same products rather than a partition. Bulk trends build up over time as we record the weight behind each price point.
One honest caveat: we record a historical price point when a product's best price changes (and when we first see the product), so monthly and weekly figures are averages of recorded price points rather than a continuous market index. They are best read as a directional signal of where each grade is moving, backed by real listed prices — not as a settlement-grade benchmark.
Grades follow the same taxonomy as the rest of the site: exotic (top-shelf designer cultivars), indoor, greenhouse (light-dep), outdoor (sungrown), and shake & trim. Click any grade to see every live listing behind its average, ranked cheapest per gram first.
