+$30 per seed wtf is really goin' on!?!

B

Bob Green

What is it with all these $300 packs of beans?


Gage, Inhouse, JJNYC, Brothers Grim, Aficionado, Reeferman, list goes on and is growing by the second. What made all these people think it's cool to charge +30 per seed all of the sudden? At first I was like "yeah but it's limited edition and most likely a one time deal". Nope it just encouraged more of this crap. Thirty bucks for a damn seed? Just one seed MOST often of completely untested beans? Not a single grow just "hey better grab these in case they are unbelievably good". Does this superior magic seed cure cancer, grow a few inches on your manhood, and get you playboy bunny sex all at the same time?

I understand they want to cash inn and some of the guys have really busted ass to produce quality gear but people paying these prices has just driven the companies into greedy money hungry hogs. Are $500-$1000 packs going to become the norm? Can I charge $500-$1000 per zip of finished product? Nope! No one on the streets will pay that shit no way.

I am unbelievably grateful that I have the coolest friends in the planet that spread genetics based on the love of the plant not selfish elitism smash and grab for cash. And their genetics are top notch world class tip of the spear type stuff I only dreamed about in the past. Shit some of these seed companies could only dream of to tell the truth straight up.

An elite plant appears in about one in thirty to fifty plants. $1500 for a proper pheno hunt... Dude shit is out of hand. No way they can possibly guarantee a true elite keeper from one pack nobody can just simple math. $1500 for a cut that you have to find yourself. Hmmmmmmm if you are rich, an aspiring seed maker, or a big time drug dealer cool but I know of $30 packs that will be just as good if not better than anything you find in a $30 single seed bet on that shit.

At this point Aficionado looks like they are the only ones backing up their products with a money back guarantee. JJ really did bust ass for many years and has a proven track record in his particular style but dang dude WTF?

Seems like things where rarely over $200 unless it was a very high demand auction. And these same companies get pissed when untested hacks of their gear are released by fly by night "companies" cashing in on the overrated hype created for like $150 per pack of 10? Yeah dude they paid the high prices to try to cash in like everyone else. Monkey see monkey do. Virtually zero science involved just fill a tent with pollen and open up an Instagram account badabing son!!! Just like their cannagod masters of the green ultra supreme! I am now THE fucking rockstar!!! You don't f-k-n know me dawg! Shakira in my bed and stake in my belly son! How I roll bitches!!! Dank! What!!!

People remind me of baseball card nerds that need every rookie card at any cost. They never even swung a bat, put on a uniform, nor hit a home run but man they surely own a piece of that superstar. And boy can they quote their favorite players stats.

Seed collecting can be an asset or an unhealthy sickness. I was definitely one of the sick twisted canna geeks no doubt. Now I am a seed maker doing it for the love of the Herb with backing from the worlds best. Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty I'm free at last. I love you fuckers... You know who you are you bloody legends you!!! I can never thank you enough for showing me the light.

I know people gots to eat but dang folks? Power to the people!

Peace out:)

Cost money to make seeds. Takes talent to make quality seeds.

I will pay for quality genetics everyday of the week. Now if they are up charging for garbage, then boo!

It costs shit fuck all to make seeds. If you have the market, flipping a room to seed is worth well over ten times flower output. Not to mention all your bills are paid by extracts, it's all fucking cream.

Greenhouse? Your overhead just plummeted through the floor.

Breeders (the aforementioned pollen chuckers) would shit a brick if they saw what it took to create a broad bean or tomato resistant to fusarium or any other disease. AKA what traditional breeders do.

Damn straight dude! If Im paying even $50 for a pack, Id better damn well get something that's worth growing a couple or three times.

Most of the time, I don't find any semi-keepers in a pack.

I know many people that breed for immunity or resistance..... I think you many be assuming that doesn't take place in the cannabis community. I personally think that is incorrect.

Quality seed breeding doesn't take place in one harvest. Flowering a clone only does. I know from my personal breeding adventures, it can be many crops before a seed line does what you want it to do. I also disagree with the notion that on average, a seeded crop is worth more than a flower crop.:tiphat: If it was, then why are so many hillsides blowing up with sensimilla crops?

....if Nirvana had never signed with Sub Pop records they would have played their last show with a $2 donation at the door. Doesn't mean they were a shit band. That's just the breaks.

A crop of seeds compared to a crop of flowers is worth a HELL of a lot more.

You can get thousands of seeds off a small plant......30$/seed vs $10/gram of flowers.

Reefermans new site he has 10 packs for 100... from other vendors his gear is 200 or more a pack. So obviously the vendors are gouging a bit as well.... Cheers happy sunday

The vendors only do what the "breeders" tell them... That is reef still wanting his hundred bucks and spreading out his stock for more hits.
