Getting rid of the rest of a crop, which is more valuable? Buds, Keif, or Hash?

So Like the title says, come crop time, I'll take out what I want and get rid of the rest. Is it worth it to make keif, or hash, rather than selling whole buds? Note certain customers need REALLY strong ass shit, and I'm not sure how potent the ?? strains are yet?

Perhaps the question was not worded greatly,
Say I have a pound or what have you of buds, then x amount of trim. Would it be worth more keeping it as buds, Or if I took all of them (and trim) made as much keif as possible, then qwiso the leftovers, then discard waste. Would the value of the keif + qwiso = more than the value of just the pound of dried buds?

idk how much bud is worth in your area, nor hash, but let's look at some quick math..

say in 8th is worth $50 in my area, an 8th being 3.5 grams obviously.. if you were to make hash from it, you're probably only looking at around a 10% yield making hash from buds.. a gram of hash can go for let's say $50 a gram if it's quality stuff..
being as you'd only get .35 grams of hash out of 3.5 grams of bud, that $50 worth of bud is now only worth what, say $20 or so rough estimate? you'd surely make more money selling it as bud..
imo, the only way to make money selling hash would be to make it from the trim and sugar popcorn buds that don't sell as well, and still keep the good, bigger buds whole and sell them separately ..

To me good oil or even pressed hash
is harder to get than money.
Meaning I love making and keeping
the highly potent stuff rather than buy it.

The problem is having enough starting material to warrant running it for profit.
The other problem is making a product
a dispensery would want unless you already have a patient list.

Then again you may not even like oil.

But I agree with Racer trying to sell hash made from straight buds is a losing game. Unless you are making it as a pre sold order with the understanding it will
be overpriced.

Unless, for some reason, you have a serious space constraint. For example, if it needs to be keestered.

take x amount of leaf with y amount of trimmings multiply by the square root of 420/.3402. The answer can then be converted to grams. Hope this helps.

If you're selling make hash with the trim to sell and leave the buds alone. You'll never see the same value from them. Personally I love oil made from kief. It is a low yielding process but goddamn is it some good stuff.
