And just so you know, flashiness isn't necessarily an indication of good weed. Sure, strands like Acapulco Gold, Panama Red, and White Widow have unusuallly high concentrations of THC and they're pretty flashy, but most deviations in color are just differences in chlorophyll levels. In fact, from my experience, a lot of flashy weed can be bad. Designer labeled weeds that showcase a menagerie of colors are notorious for their lack of THC, because growers introduce new plants for hybridization. Without an adequate presence of cannabis, the THC levels drop dramatically. I've smoked some flashy stuff, and no matter how many bowls I packed I just got a slight lightheaded buzz.
From my experience, the smell is a much surer way to determine quality. Stinky weed is good.

1: The prices are not bad at all. I have bought weed in many places around the country including California where weed is extremely cheap. If its good quality Headies or brand name weed then 130 a half O is a very reasonable price.
2: Flashiness is a great way to determine if your weed is good. For instance most good weed looks way better because of the amount of crystals on the outside of he bud, and the number of red strands. That combined with smell can almost always tell you if its good weed or not. But as you said im sure there are some exceptions.
3: I have come across about 4 strains that did not smell like much. Seemed average beasters, or maybe even good mids, but turned out to be as potent as some much more expensive bud.
