The following products have left the Alchemy menu during Q2 2026 due to seasonal cultivation cycles, processor pipeline rotations, or curation decisions:

Winter-harvest flower cultivars from Q1 are sold out and not restocking until next harvest cycle.

A specific concentrate processor with whom we paused the partnership during Q2 pending a quality consultation.

Selected slower-moving edibles SKUs replaced by the new releases.

The departure list updates as inventory clears.

The Alchemy Brand Of The Quarter for Q2 2026 is Hudson Cannabis. The featured brand designation includes expanded shelf space, weekly in-store activations during the quarter, brand-rep visits at both Chelsea and Flatiron locations, a 10 percent loyalty-member discount on Hudson Cannabis SKUs during the quarter, and selected limited-release small-batch cultivars that publish first to loyalty members.

The Q3 2026 featured brand will publish at the start of July.

The NYS adult-use cannabis cultivation calendar runs in seasonal patterns. Outdoor flower (sun-grown) harvests once a year in October. Greenhouse flower produces multiple harvests per year. Indoor flower runs continuously with rolling harvests every 8 to 12 weeks per cultivation room.

Q2 (April through June) brings spring-greenhouse harvests, late-winter indoor harvests, and the early planting of summer outdoor crops that will harvest in October. The Q2 menu therefore reflects a mix of cultivation method outputs.

A meaningful menu update is more than a cultivar list. The chemistry that determines daytime feel versus evening feel sits in the terpene column of the COA, not in the THC percentage. Our Q2 arrivals split into three clear terpene clusters.

The first cluster is limonene-pinene dominant, which we shorthand as "Hudson Yards morning." These are the Florist Farms high-pinene daytime sativa, the Hudson Cannabis sun-grown sativa-leaning chemovar at 0.6 percent limonene with a secondary terpinolene shoulder, and one of the small-batch indoor releases that hit 0.4 percent total monoterpenes with a citrus profile. Budtenders at our Chelsea counter recommend this cluster for customers walking the High Line on a Saturday or working a creative-deadline day from a Hudson Yards desk. The 1:1 THC:CBD greenhouse hybrid from Florist Farms sits in this same daytime register because the CBD blunts the THC anxiety curve enough to make morning use legible at a job that requires focus.

The second cluster is myrcene-caryophyllene dominant, the "Union Square evening" register. The Hudson Cannabis indoor indica leads with myrcene above 0.8 percent and a beta-caryophyllene secondary, and the Wedding Cake phenotype from the small-batch indoor rotation pulls in the same direction with a thicker caryophyllene base. Customers asking the Flatiron budtender for something that "settles me after work" usually walk out with one of these jars. We have observed for years that the customer walking in three blocks from Union Square at 6:45 pm on a Wednesday is not the same customer walking in at 11:30 am on a Saturday; the staff is trained to read the time of day as part of the recommendation.

The third cluster is the dessert and gas profile that anchors the new Zkittlez phenotype and the dessert-profile hybrid. Linalool and humulene shoulders soften the high without producing the sedation of a heavy myrcene strain. This is the flavor-forward shelf, the one that pulls repeat customers from Chelsea Market and Hudson Yards back week after week. The chemistry runs sweeter, the experience runs gentler, and the price tag runs slightly above the limonene shelf because the cultivation yields are smaller.

Customers who shopped Q1 will notice the shelf shifted in three specific ways. First, our limonene shelf grew, reflecting the spring shift toward daytime-leaning preferences as the city emerged from a cold March. Second, our solventless shelf grew, with two new live rosin processors joining the rotation alongside Mfused. Third, our edible shelf rotated toward effect-targeted single-purpose products like 1906 over multi-purpose dose-curve gummy packs, because the customer data from Q1 showed strong repeat purchase on the targeted SKUs. The Brand Of The Quarter slot rotated from a concentrate-led Q1 partner to Hudson Cannabis, which sells across flower, pre-roll, and infused pre-roll formats and gave us a cleaner shelf-presence opportunity for the quarter.

Hudson Cannabis brand representatives will be on the Chelsea counter every Saturday in April from 2 pm to 5 pm and at the Flatiron counter every Saturday in May from 1 pm to 4 pm. June will host two limited-release small-batch drops with a member-first 48-hour reservation window. Activation events include cultivar education, terpene-profile walkthroughs with the COA pulled up on the in-store iPad, and loyalty-member exclusive accessory bundles.

The Mfused live rosin processor visits Chelsea once in May. The pop-up will feature a live unboxing of the cartridge production line documentation, a side-by-side comparison of solventless rosin versus solvent-extracted resin, and a Q&A with the Mfused founder. RSVP via the loyalty page.

A new SKU lands at the back-of-house receiving counter, the team unboxes it, files the COA into our internal Notion database under the cultivar name, the manager assigns three staff members to a 20-minute tasting and education session that covers the cultivar terpene profile, the processor backstory, the expected effect curve, and the price-tier slotting against the existing shelf. Customers asking "what is new this week" at the counter are talking to staff who personally hand-checked the COA against the package label that morning. This is why the conversation in our store is detailed in a way the algorithmic suggestions on a delivery app cannot replicate. The Chelsea floor manager keeps a small notebook of customer reactions on each new arrival, which feeds back into our quarterly curation decisions. Q2 added 14 new SKUs across categories; we will retire roughly 6 to 9 by end of June based on velocity, customer feedback, and processor pipeline status.

NYS adult-use pricing in Q2 2026 continues to stabilize, with the new arrivals slotting into established price tiers rather than introducing premium-shock SKUs. The Hudson Cannabis spring harvest 3.5 g jars price at $50 to $58 pre-tax, the Florist Farms greenhouse 3.5 g jars price at $45 to $55, the small-batch indoor 3.5 g jars price at $55 to $65, the new live rosin 1 g cartridges sit at $70 to $95, the 0.3 g and 0.5 g disposables sit at $30 to $50, the seasonal chocolate bars sit at $20 to $30 per 100 mg total bar, the new gummy multi-packs sit at $25 to $35 per 100 mg total package, and the CBN-blend sleep edibles sit at $25 to $32 per package. NYS adult-use tax of 13 percent plus NYC sales tax adds roughly 22 percent at the register.

The most reliable way to keep up with the Q2 menu is two visits per quarter spaced roughly six weeks apart. The first visit lands you against the early-Q2 spring-greenhouse harvest, the second visit lands you against the late-Q2 indoor cycle restocks plus any June small-batch drops. Customers on this cadence consistently report better hit rates on new arrivals than customers who shop weekly (the weekly cadence often catches a single new SKU at a time and misses the comparative context that a six-week interval delivers).
