People hating cheap seed companies.

Nirvana White Rhino. $30 for a 10 pack. I found a keeper. She ended up turnin kinda purple at the end in normal temp.

I absolutely refuse to by any seeds that cost more than one hundred dollars.
Why?
Because that's bullshit. No seeds are worth that much. If anybody thinks they have to pay that much for seeds then, they need some new friends.
But hey if you buy into the hype, you pay the price.

Most expensive I've ever bought was the SSH from Mr.Nice some years ago, guess that was a little above 100$. At the end, it's up to the buyer to decide how much a strain is worth.
I would pay what they wanted if I found a unique smoke I liked, thats all I'm saying.
Went to Amsterdam for a week of smoke and seed selection, but since I still preferred oldscool WW and SSH after a week of smoking exotic strains, I didn't even bother to bring anything home. Seeds can make customs go Sherlock Holmes even though cannaseeds are legal where I live.
Didn't like the taste of the grape strains at all..

 

[NOKUY]

show your colors...grow the best....

ohhhh did i just mention FJ?

SHIT...fukin fj has the proper strains all fukin day!

 

[V1AAA]

my best ever mothers came from nirvana hands down

i bought haze and k2 many moons ago

the k2's varied so much it was unreal, but 1 of them i still have. i call it the lemon haze, or mango.

i have also kept a couple of males, and have some interesting hawaian snow x's that are in testing.

its strange how the new strains have shared the name, although we named ours long before super lemon was released by gh. and shanti has a mango, which is quite new.

btw, i love shanti's seeds. probably just coincidence

havent tried gh seeds since shanti left

Another reason i beleive that people are willing to pay such obsurd prices for seeds is because of the clone hoarders...this is fact. Many people live in places where we can't roll to the dispensary and pick up a few clones of world class genetics for under 100 bucks. So we have to purchased the expensive ass seeds, just to TRY and find a close representation of those clones. Look at all the hype/craze behind chemdog...really, its as simple as someone picking up a legit chemdog cut from a dispensary and them spreading the love to others. Instead...people (most, not all...) will just keep the cut so closely guarded...and never pass it on to the next person...even though someone showed them hella luv by gifting it to them.

Thats just how i look at it.

Prices for seeds

Prices for seeds

I'm in my position totaly against expensive prices for cannabis seeds, just because it is not cool to get seeds for 80€ or more...
It is very easy to produce seeds, but the problem are the distributors and the retailers...
For example, if i sell seeds to a distributor, I'll sell the pack of 10 seeds for example at 12€ than the distributor will increase the price to17.5€ to sell it to retail shops and the retailers shops increase the price per 2.3 so final price is in the shops: 40€!!!
Anorther point is the following... it is not because seedds are cheap that they are not good, just it is question of marketing not more cause many of big seeds bank are not really offering good seeds at the moment but there marketing is so good that pepole think that they are good...
If you think that price is everythnig so just try those seeds from bc seeds like the pine apple at 1990 canadian dollars!!! and before just look on diferents forums about what people think about them and you'll see that they just say they are shit ones...
aklso it is very comun that big seeds banks pay to get first prices on big events and then they make the price higher... sorry but i kow it very well I'm into the business.


Cheers

People complain about the more expensive seeds and the companies who sell them as well. That complaint goes both ways. Now onto the cost however. If you can't justify spending $150 on seeds that can recoup that cost with just ONE plant in a matter of months then you need to put your priorities in order.

Not even bringing up the fact that you can then breed the brothers and sisters together and have your own seed stock...

I don't like spending a ton on seeds BUT if it is something I want then I will get it because it will ALWAYS give you FAR more in return then that initial investment in quality meds.

There are great $30 strains and there are great $150 seeds and bad ass shit in between. I don't look down on those people down there buying up mandala and nirvana and don't get the point in thinking anyone actually does.

I have seen too many helpful people on these boards and many others who are more than happy to give help if your shit is sick or to tell you the genetics you bought were SHIT because they ran em and giving you their thoughts on them.

The same exact type of person will also tell you when you bu a high dollar strain that is SHIT as well because they ran it and it wasn't all its cracked up to be. It just goes both ways and as long as there are people wanting less expensive seeds AND damn expensive seeds there will always be a product to fill that need because the $$$$ is there to be made for the breeders.

BTW I think cheap seed companies SUCK lol j/k

 

[HighTech]

I cant sell any weed to recoup the cost like you apparently can as i actually need it to vaporize it all to medicate my disorders.

There are lots of people like me I'm sure, who think $100 looks like a credit card payment.

Cannacopia FTW

 

[JamieShoes]

You get what you pay for.

I've grown cheaper genes too and to say that the more expensive are better is misguided mate. Some people sell shit seed for top dollar while I know others selling top seed for cheap

I can give you an example of a strain (same lineage) going for either 150 bucks or 20... and I can vouch for the 20 dollar one... I wont though as the breeder is not affliated with this website



Anyway K+ to the OP... MORE GANJA... LESS FECKIN POLITICS!

 

[Pythagllio]

I had a friend who ran an 'escort' service for a while. When potential customers would call he'd find out what type of girl he wanted, and then give him a choice between a exclusive, exotic woman for top dollar or a cut rate 'girl next door'. It didn't matter which choice the customer made, the next girl in line got the job.

 

[skunktoker]

Some of the best smoke I have ever smoked came from cheap seeds I refuse to pay
ungodly amounts of money on seeds 95% of the time I always buy fems...but also with
every 3 packs of fems I buy I also buy a pack of regular seeds right at this moment Im
smoking some stuff that is as good as any thing I have ever smoked and it costs $23
for 15 seeds...........ST

 

[DocLeaf]

Check out FRT at seedbay for bargins

 

[Mala Tempora]

The cheaper seeds typically offer a greater variety for people looking for a mother. They also make growing an option for people who don't have the funds available for a pack of Soma's seeds. I say thank the Ganja Gods for the cheap seeds. It makes growing more accessible for more people.

Still makes zero sense to me personally. What would those meds have cost you if you bought them versus grow them? Unless you grow micro style (under a zip a grow) then odds are you will recoup the investment whether in MEDS or sales.

If you grew a minimum 1/2 ounce of meds then that $150 would be recouped due to you NOT having to buy 1/2 of meds. Anything can sound like a credit card payment if you are struggling for cashflow BUT being self sufficient with your meds no matter the seed cost will STILL end up saving or making you money whether you see it or not.

 

[CaptainTrips]

Whether he makes the money back or not, the stupid expensive seeds will cost more and make back less ,and for what gain? Not much. Unless you are selling and want a "name brand", you can likely find something cheap with a similar profile in something cheaper...

 

[TLoft13]

The one problem i have have with these expensive seeds is I'm not guaranteed anything. Or does anyone refund when i call them and say your 150 Dollar seeds are just average?

 

[Centrum]

Sometimes its not about you.
You not forced to buy into the hype.
That about sums it up i guess.

 

[indifferent]

But hey if you buy into the hype, you pay the price.

I totally agree, I have grown so many hyped lines that were nothing special, most of the best plants I ever grew were from seeds that cost nothing.

There are examples of breeders who can justify their prices - Shantibaba being the prime example, he has to cover the costs of the large greenhouse rows he does for selection, he does proper breeding with large populations, and that costs a lot of money, he can't sell his seeds at a loss, hence they aren't that cheap.

Contrast that with a lot of other seed companies who hack their seeds in small spaces with virtually no selections and charge stupid prices.

I can name two well known seed companies who don't even make their own seeds, they just buy them in from some cats in Spain, give them exotic names and made-up lineages and sell them for very high prices.

 

[habeeb]

I for one, am so sick of hearing people bitch and moan about who had what and who stole what especially in magazines.

Seriously, for the end user trying to buy strains from some of these high priced strains with more authentic genetics is just impossible..

A third of a weeks wages for blueberry? no thanks!

I don't understand why people cant see that the cheaper breeders while not being the ferrari's of the genetics world enable a lot of people like me to grow multiple strains.

Sure they market, or they couldn't get the volume there to reduce costs and keep margins. (*slaps forehead*).

Are people suggesting they claim their strains are "only average"

It seems their are snipers all over the board shooting down with comments about how terrible a strain actually is, oh its just this its so pathetic. blah blah blah.

I didn't think weed snobs existed, but they clearly do.

The thing that sucks is these snipers are quite simply ruining this persons day, whos ALREADY paid for the seeds.

Id also place some money on the fact they are mindlessly repeating something they read or were told. Like celebrities and politics.

I love your little story. mind if I tell one?

some people think they can get to the finish line by taking the shortcut.. but they don't realize they are getting less, and it is them who have to suffer, with not knowing what they lost..
