Passion Farms just made it easier for wholesale buyers to try new strains-rolling out QP and half-pound THCA flower sizes across TX, CA & OK, no more pound minimums.

HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gautham Chidambaram, Founder & CEO of Passion Farms, today announced the addition of quarter-pound (QP) and half-pound sizing options across the company's THCA flower line, ending the company's previous pound-only minimum for wholesale and bulk orders. The new sizing is effective immediately across all three states where Passion Farms operates: Texas, California, and Oklahoma.

This change will enable both the wholesale and bulk buyers to gain access to the company’s rotating strain lineup through reduced commitment levels. In the past, buyers had to make purchases for one whole pound or more; now, with the QP and half-pound choices, the company’s distribution and retail partners can try out the strains in smaller quantities before purchasing more.

"Wholesale and bulk customers will now be able to obtain our flowers in a more streamlined manner," according to Gautham Chidambaram. "In essence, this is us trying to meet our buyers at their point of need, whether they’re making a first-time purchase or managing a well-established account without locking them into quantity."

New QP and Half-Pound Sizing Added to THCA Flower Line

Passion Farms has announced that the new sizing is valid for all of its bulk flower lineup, which includes the company’s indoor, greenhouse, and mixed-light THCA flower strains. Prior to the change, the minimum size required was one pound. Now, wholesalers & distributors can place orders in quarter-pound and half-pound sizes besides the already available one-pound and multi-pound sizes.

The update applies to all strains that are currently listed under the company’s Bulk Flowers section without compromising the lab test or the COA of the smaller sizes. Customers can order from either the website of Passion Farms or the wholesale inquiry form, depending on whether they have an account or need to create one.

Founder & CEO Gautham Chidambaram on the Announcement

This decision was made due to Chidambaram’s elaboration of the logic behind the decision, and he presented it as an immediate reaction to feedback from customers regarding the company’s rotating catalog of strains.

“This comes directly from customer feedback regarding testing new strains before committing to a pound,” explained Gautham Chidambaram. “That way, buyers can start small and scale up if the strain works out. It takes down one real hurdle that smaller and midsize buyers had.”

New Unit Pricing Confirmed for QP and Half-Pound Flower

Passion Farms confirmed pricing for the new QP and half-pound units, with rates scaling proportionally from the company's existing per-pound structure.

Per-Unit Pricing for New Sizes

Prices for the new units will depend on the strain, with each one stated clearly on the individual unit’s product page. The quarter-pound units have a price starting at just $200, depending on the strain chosen, while the half-pound units will cost proportionally. Custom pricing options can still be arranged for regular orders.

Access to Pricing, COAs, and Quotes

Buyers can obtain information about prices, COAs, and the availability of samples by submitting a wholesale request on the website of the company. According to the confirmation from Passion Farms, the sales department will still be offering customized quotes for large volume purchases, and the revised sizes do not change the bulk pricing structure already offered to high volume distributors and MSOs.
