Freebies first!

[Rozgreenburn]

So, I have a strange habit that I can't quite shake. Whenever I purchase beans, I will always pop the freebies first, unless I've already grown them. My logic {?} is that if I ordered beans then I already have a good idea of what to expect. On the other hand, freebies feel like kind of a secret treat, and every so often, They end up fitting into my rotation for further inspection.
Is it just me?

Very rarely will I pop a freebie but god dam I have caught fire from them . So I think it's a great habit ?

I've been Blessed to have some strains sent to me recently from members here, and I'm giddy with anticipation to be Honest; I just hope I do them right lol. Some of these strains.... I may need a facial mask so I don't drool on them lol.

 

[GthaEnigma]

For me it depends who's freebies they are. Bodhi, strayfox, cannarado, bad dawg all tend to be worth the time and resources. Others are more hit and miss.

I've bought seed packs just to get the free seeds that came with the pack more than a couple of times.

Yeah I get that , now that I think about it I have done this . Bodhi , Solfire , exotic. It's always nice when it's a breeders freebie too .

 

[Brokehoe]

Just send me your unwanted freebies.lol
We need all we can get down here.
I'll start seed bombing the fields.

I'm gonna say it again Ginger Grant freebie from Brisco @Amos Otis are fire.
Some breeders may give you lesser offerings as freebies but some give you fire ?.

Frim sent me a pack of Pure Michigan’s and I liked them so much I bought a pack of Pigs in a blanket to get another pack of Pure Michigans lol

Yup, I have a 5 pack of Ginger {or two} to work when I find room! Or, when I make room.

The fatter leaf less golden goat leaner has this amazing aroma. It was like mango now it's more like my garlic citrus turkey I make for Thanksgiving.
It's getting a re-vegged as I didn't take cuts. I can't wait to see what she finally cures to.

I know some do, but why would a seed maker want to send out what they think are B grade seeds even as freebies? People invest a good chunk of time in a grow, and bad results leave a lasting impression.

Yeah a lot of guys look at it like oh here's my chance to get rid of some stuff. I look at it as here's my chance to get more fire into someone's garden. Love the good freebies ?

Not gonna lie, freebies play a huge role in what I order. I've had an order ready to go on Choice/Attitude for months but I've been waiting until BTC is at a decent level and the freebies in the monthly promotion appeal to me.

Hazeman's Goldfish blew me away most recently. Got it with Blowfish (which is what I thought I wanted to chuck with) -it was a coincidence, they're unrelated. It completely blew every Blowfish pheno out of the water. His LA Pure Kush looked nice too, but I got all dudes. The Grape Stomper x The White/Stardawg right now is probably quality bud as well.

That @AGSeedCo.com Wedding Cake x ON Haze was a freebie (I'm not sure if it was even available for purchase on their site) and...



Yep. Hits like a fridge dropped from the roof of a 15 story building too.

I've definitely copped a Copa release for the freebees (the Secret Chief F2's that are in flower right now), and the G13 x Ancient OG ones with the V-Day sale at DCSE are extremely tempting as well.

Europa's Heavy Grapefruit was originally a freebie for me too and it's a great strain that I'll probably grow again. Motherlode Kush from Sannie is also an excellent strain that I'll grow again. ACE always has great freebies.

No sir! I do the same..this last round i got some KILL(cactus flower by vashon)
Should have cloned but oh well still haven't touch what i paid for..Too many seeds, too little time?keep popping hunters!!

Not really understanding the whole freebies are shit beans.

I was under the impression that they gave away Good Beans to get more customers Not the other way around

Hell theres people paying 10 a bean and more for tester's in my book...
So a free bag of more testers should Not be a problem ?

 

[Capt's Farm]

To me it's a way to get attention or movement to your company..

No different than back in the 70s when we started to give Free Estimates for work.

 

[Bodean]

I'm cheap , I love freebies. As it has been said they can be ?, collectables because they were probably a one-off and eventually be a rarity. Good for getting your brand out there like Captain was saying.

I always try beans from a freebie pack every time I germinate. The dark horse ? of the run.

+1
Honestly I always thought that they where just a cross that was limited on beans... No way to make more unless f2's and So give them away..

If I was in the business of selling beans, I would have someone else just running freebies for me...

To me it makes sense

 

[Smokieokie]

Yep love some freebies and definitely have purchased for them. I may not even order from a bank a second time if they don't send freebies lol

 

[Buckeyetoker]

Aint nothing free....
