The price of SEEDS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gentlemancorpse]

Another player possibly influencing prices is may be the collectors.... Seems like especially w/ autoflowers, a lot of people just want to stunt on the Reddit with their pack collection from their favorite breeder...

That's a Bohdi thing too, drives me nuts. Half the Bohdi thread on RIU is just people posting their pack collections. If your not gonna grow it stop crashing GLG every new drop, so that those of us who will grow it can get some!

Clout. Status. Perceived increase in chance of getting laid. Same reason a person buys a Rolex when a Casio tells the time just the same.

There IS a difference in this case. For example, a $20 hooker likely opens the knees the same as a $1000 hooker. I think you can probably figure out the rest.

Man I could take this canister of bag seeds, pop em in Swarovski vials and package them with jarred Halle Berry farts and get paid….

I was just thinking that I am having a b**** of a time with clones at the moment. It's like a roller coaster for me. Man that would suck

one really need a "quaratine" room for clones - so if they are "invested" ect you will not affect your other plants if clone was gotten from someone or some other clone shop

The trick I suppose is acquiring Halle's gaseous passing....

Off topic from seeds, but my kid wanted to watch the live action Flintstones movie the other day, which is awful, but I was reminded it does have one redeeming performance...

I think I enjoy these comments more so than a 1k dollar cut..... besides for a thousand dollars and I don't even cum? Pfffft fuck that it better be like a marked box of vials with places in the Middle East, Thailand, India, a fucking Mountain Range with latitude and longitude of each seed taken, villages in the rest of Asia, Africa, South America, a cutting of the very first Chemdog plant, a cutting of the first Blue Cheese, UK Cheese, Skunk #1, and a fat bag of Popeye's. Like massive fucking family pack. That's the same price as like a Penn International!

Hahaha I remember some guy on RIU had spent thousands on Bodhi packs, had a single 4x4 tent, and had not cracked a single one of them at that point in time. I can’t remember but I don’t know if he had grown anything yet. Lol.

A couple of years ago a seed bank told me that they were aware of Brisco's seeds and the very good consumer reports on google searches that they'd seen, but that there wasn't enough profit per pack for them to bother carrying them.

sorry kid, we can’t make enough money off ya, kick rocks. Lol what a cool bunch of guys.

It didn't piss me off because they are right from their point of view. They're in the business to make profits and make no bones about it. They'd need 5 Brisco sales at the current Bargain prices to equal the profit of one pack of IHG, for instance. They likely don't have free seeds for vets and disadvantaged folks, and don't market their services to those households struggling to get by. Something to consider when choosing a seedbank to give your dollars to. Unless it's not.

agree or not, but I disagree with the market thinking they need to depend on "cookies" and hyped strains only as a selling method. yes u could have a few in ur stock but to just being their bitch and copycatting others on what the "markets demand" is only asking for the top of this same strains to beat you in so many factors. being unique and also winning cups or misc for new stuff brings people to want ya gear and medicines .
--
in logic as a grower If the clone seller/nursery could prove 100% no lies if the cut was proven and virus free .. another thing is I would want to see alive mature plants at least pictures of them and harvested bud too even if pictures and in this market it needs reasons why to buy it like unique cannabinoids or combos ,high in terps % or at least unique profiles , Needs to be easy to grow , obvious high resistance to nutes burning, allowance high ppfd and mold/pest resistant. show me proven lab test of multi branches its clean and test isnt old . you would be surprised so many "OG's" and misc hyped strains would never get a check mark for any of that but also they suck at yields. now with higher plant counts and if nurseries became more intact in states for everyone. I think breeding of these things could be checked marked as approved but also have no negavitiy on the yields .

if cannabis nurseries did this and also gave valid growing tips on the selected pheno i would be willing to pay a bunch NP , right now show me any legal or non legal that can check mark that. I see a lot of "hype" and major claims without any proof on it being a good strain to be worth the value than using clean stock seeds and finding a pheno ( shoot so many of these legal they aren't plant count limited, its by SQFT)

another bad factor even if "legit clone" is if you don't know how this plant functions and its demands. who to say u don't fuck the rest of the crop over but also even mono cropped the grower will need a few rounds unless educated on it will not ever see the true nature or success on why the strain is worthy? ive ran stuff from others and wonder ... wtf? than asked the person who had it and whatcha know, certain tips and Enviroment changes make all the diff from success to crap in growing..having exclusive and being able to 100% know that plant loves your grow room, why fuck around when the whole markets hyped clones can def be found in seed form but also if you decided to go out of the normal. grow some non hyped and be ur own brand. Look at jungle boys and cookies, they made their name and now anything that comes out of their ass is "awesome"

point is if commercially or even home grower, why run stuff that's ur competition ( and they mastered those cuts) but also showing you can't breed your own or find VIP/Exclusive genetics to compete? just saying if u invested all this cash why not have a testing room even if small scaled and run it year around to find what your menu demands, wants and will need but also can highlight ur brand/grower.

flower and veggie & fruit agriculture seeds and clones/already grown aren't depending on single branding of strains as their sale point but also not telling the consumer or grower there isnt any other options, as the growers success its the art of everything in the company and consistency ( genetics isnt 100% of outcome but also is required too) that bring it in the shine ( not saying connections and advertising isn't a huge % too).. if that was the case besides the GMO versions and everyone depended on clones and "he says" without info clones. my guess farming % would be way imbalanced but also making it so the "exclusive" nursery has all the ownership. that's always a bad thing for the grower but also consumer.

another argument is if you pheno hunted and found even if it wasn't in anyway in lineage of that but awesome bag appeal and crazy terps, if u renamed it for ur sales as one of the hyped names like gelato or runtz. my guess there would be zero dispute but also more success at least right now than bending over and hoping even if direct purchase its legit, clean and also u know how it grows. My guess a lot of the time also if a hyped strain isnt released , breeders and companies do that all the time. it isnt like they GMO own em so who stops that? bitching?

Cookies does seem to have some form in every dispensary, and sadly it's never the one I actually enjoyed; years ago I was smoking with a friend of mine, and he was from Detroit and had a strain he really liked, and was like "yeah bro this is called Girl Scout Cookies" and so I tried it, and was amazed how to me, it tasted like a sugar cookie..... like the soft ones you get around Christmas, and they're usually frosted but not always, and I really enjoyed that one. I also don't think I've ever seen it again. I've had Ethos Cookies, and the taste is nice, but the effects...... I'd have traded that whole bag fire the "GSC" or "Girl Scout Cookies" or whatever you can call it now (and who the fuck keeps changing these fucking names??? GMO / GMO Cookies / Garlic Cookies????? Are you fucking serious??? No! Strains should matter more then hype and renaming it makes it a fucking nightmare for my OCD trying to properly catalog what I'm growing....) point is that one to me was a good strain. I've never tried many other cookie strains and the ones I have just aren't that first one that felt nice. I literally tell people on here when they say "this one smells like onions and BO" and I'm like ohhh damn I want that! I mainly follow my nose, and a few very highly loved genetic lines and crosses (Cheese, Chemdog for example) because I've tried different Chem and Cheese Strains and literally love all of them I've tried. I live GMO too and those are essentially Chemdog and Girl Scout Cookies I think? Lol doesn't taste like sugar but damn do I love that! Lol.

I know exactly what you mean bro. I've had a few other cookies but they really haven't done what that one did. I remember the taste and the one I had was just beautiful. I effects made me think they probably pulled it right when the majority of the resin was cloudy, and just very uplifting and nice. I don't even know where it came from but it was a nice one!

You're absolutely right, reminded me of GMO too . And that's another amazing cut , for real .

Oh bro I got to try GMO this last summer when my Fiance came outside while I was doing something in the yard and she's like "so the dispensary has a GMO shake ounce for 99 dollars and it comes with a free pack of papers and a lighter" and we're getting low on funds, but those genetics? Whew!..... I pulled over 20 seeds from that ounce.... the next week it dropped to 75 dollars..... we have 30 seeds now and I am really excited to get one sprouted. Love GMO! That Garlic flavor, that cool calm pain relief it seemed to give in pretty excited.

What exactly are people expecting when they sink big $$$ into seeds or cuts? Serious question.

If the finished bud doesn't get me higher / more stoned than buds from reasonably priced seeds / cuts [ which I never see reports of ] what's the attraction ? Dead serious question.

If you've bought these big $$$ weed products, did you end up with 1 - 2 hitter quitters? If not, why not? If yes, sell me some.

My thoughts exactly . If you pay 400% more for a clone or seed are you getting a 400% better product ? Do you get 4 x as baked or 4 x the terps . Where exactly does the benefit lay ? Truth is someone is always willing to fuel it ?‍
