Are you really, really high Schwinn?
This post is absurd.
The majority of people buying a pack of seeds expect them all to grow up to look exactly like the picture the breeder includes with the description.
They don't get that, but it's what they expect.

Genetics is complicated and most seed buyers don't understand it, and don't want to.
People today have no idea how the things they rely on every day work.
Cell phones, cars, refrigerators . . .
Most people under ~25 probably have a hard time making a fire without an accelerant.

Your entire manifesto is based on the idea that the average cannabis seed customer expects things to be like you do.
They don't.

The people on ICmag are not the average seed buyer anymore.
The people on INSTAGRAM are. Have you READ the stupid questions people ask breeders up there?

It's Idiocracy man, and Brawndo has what plants crave.

If your marketing plan depends on educating your customers about something they don't want to know, you are doomed to fail.
How many seeds do you include in the packs you sell?

Maybe you fell asleep under a tree clean shaven, and woke up with a long beard? Tom Hill's not around any more.
Today's market (which is driven by customer demand) clearly moves in the opposite direction of your treatise.
"5 packs" of FEM seeds sell much faster than "10 packs" of REGS.
Why do you think that is?
People want to grow a plant or 2 for personal consumption. They don't want to become the next Nevil and select something special from a field of hundreds.
They live in states that have recently legalized weed and allow low numbers of plants to be grown for personal use (~4 or 6.)
Really, they would much rather grow from a clone they get from a dispensary than even pop a seed.

Several people have tried to explain that to you but you can't accept it.

Also, your title is not really appropriate because there is no ethical dilemma in deciding how many seeds to put in a pack.
Large volume deals are going down regularly if you need it. You just need to ask.
The beer menu at a bar doesn't list a price for a tanker truck full of IPA, but if you need one, someone will sell it to you. Where's the ethical issue with that?

BTW: I know you aren't selling seeds and this is all just a mental exercise for you, but you are clearly all spun up about this and I couldn't resist poking a bit of fun at you.
:laughing:

If there’s ever been a line I really wanted to sift through I have always contacted the breeder directly and asked about breeder/baller packs (100+) and more times than not they will give you a deal on the bulk purchase.

That being said. If I couldn’t get the baller pack I’ll buy two packs of said line at a minimum and do an open pollination or reversal to get more seed.
