50$+ for a reg seed??

I often see that smaller breeders sell their suppossed to be out of this world genetics for 50+$ for a seed.. If big companies sell their seeds Femed for x2.5 lower price.. ARE THOSE Genetics so much better?? or they all desirve punch in tha face?? if you seed of 50$ wont give me weed that eill left me pAralised,catatonic or spaced out, then you sh0uld be beaten to ER!

Things work on scale man. The bigger the company. The cheaper they can do what they do.

Smaller businesses need to cover for their time and expenditures somehow.

Take for instance a new home business. If they're selling t-shirts @ $15 a pop. They'd have to sell what they make at a considerably lower margin of profit. Than say a big company like JJ's. Who could source materials and supply far greater numbers at well under what the home business could hope to make them for.

I'm not saying I disagree with the outrage at some of the prices. But, business is a cold hard bitch. You either keep up and deliver the goods. Or you get left in the dust of the competition.

Not in this lifetime. I don't care how awesome they claim their genetics to be, not worth it. And regular seeds to boot? Hell to the no!

Plenty of legit breeders with hella strains and average seed pricing. They'll continue to get my business.

Apparently there are some willing to pay that insane price. Not you. And not I though.

I don't even like when they're $15+. Especially when I may not get what I bought. Or they may not germinate.

There also those who think a $200 pair of Nike's are that much better than a $60 pair.

Kind of like the old saying selling used cars "there's an ass for every seat".

Oh, and you forgot to include "when your fem seed is a straight up male".

My biggest issue with it is this, how do you know? How do you know they didn't buy some Nirvana seeds, grow some regular plants, allow them to pollinate, give it some cool name and Abra Cadabra! $50 seeds?

if some people want to be incredibly stupid fucking morons, who am i to stop them? if some people have figured out a way to take advantage of those incredibly stupid morons, well, is it my job to stop them?
by the time you get a credit card and can make online purchases, you're supposed to be an adult who can make their own decisions. if you're a fucking stupid adult.....the only way thats my problem, is i may end up being one of the people who have to clean up the mess you leave behind

Yeah well that's the other thing. You can never tell by looking at a seed whether it's going to be schwag or chronic. You just gotta hope you get what they're telling you it'll do.

And most of of the time their estimates are based on the skills of advanced growers. With either a large area and decent light to obtain said growth. Or its just an exaggeration of the averages.

I never cared for over priced "name brand" items. Unless you count the likes of say GSC and GDP. I'd love to grow some of them. But, not at the prices they're offered at.

Cant say that sometimes the companies aren't getting a little greedy. Because I have seen some serious prices out there.

But on the other hand the business is changing and with card companies making it hard, some payment methods costing an arm and a leg, the demand for packaging etc getting bigger, I cant really complain.

Not sure about the US, but UK based companies are not too bad. Most stick to a trend and me personally I'm happy to pay the asking price.

Its a shit load cheaper than buying weed.

I asked mitch from mephisto how many seed you can get from plant, he told me it can go to 1000.. So multiple that with 50.. Many people are just newbies in tbis growing hobby/buisness just like me,but they are maybe long time weed smokers just like me,and you have pretty high tolerance so everything I grew was naaah to me, but again it was more tastier and smokeable thsn anything you have ever score from street.(we get slbanian/bosmian/serbian weed thru organised crime) So y0u stumble ap on those 50$ fuckers and you think yees that is the secret,i was buying mainstream shit,this is the real deal.. And you get little better weed than big breader?? gtfo duschebags .. Thank god I fell in love with autoflowers... that 30 days of veg pkus 12 day until she switches to preflower... Too fckn long..

I got some cheese to go with your whine!

I spend what I need to get my hands on particular genetic's I want. $50 a bean is nothing. HELL yeah "regular" beans! I want a steroid male to collect pollen from too!

Sometimes it's higher prices too. Hell, you've never even heard of half the things I run. And they will knock you on your ass and make you seriously stupid, and for longer then those average middler strains that aren't worth my time.....

There are a few nice breeders and strains that are tip top and fairly priced. Bodhi seeds, Connoisseur genetic's and Dr. Greenthumb and a very few others come to mind.

But if you want things like real deal breeding strains or super limited ownership, ultra rare strains......Pay up sucka!

If it ain't your thing. Don't - it's your choice!

Three Platinum Banana plants and the one in the back right is a "normal" Ghost "cut" OG. Normal plant structure, potency and activity.

The light "banding" is from the differing T5 HO spectrum bulbs being used.

This is a kinda rare pheno of the Ghost cut. High sativa expression - called the "Magic Carpet" pheno. HUGE SOARING buzz with just a tic of indica to keep your feet on the ground. Super long lasting, slap your momma "HIGH". This is the example I use to show how different a buzz can be in a single strain by phenotypical expression. High vs. Stoned...

This is "SuperDog" - It is not the common superdawg.



Your choice of "Auto's"....tells us the whole story there anyway! ROTFLMAO!

If @Dr. Who agreed to take on a specific breeding project for me, one I simply dont have time space, knowledge or resources to accomplish myself I'd likely pay him many times more for my holy grail, subjective as it may be to others. Some selections could take hundreds or more to grow out to lock down traits costing much cash and time and risk.

who pays 50k for a truck when good running older trucks are everywhere to be had?
why pay 400 bucks for that bottle of wine when ripple is abound?
Why drink Heineken when Pabst is cheaper?

(I drive new trucks, drink expensive wine, choose Heinekens over Pabst and have paid more than 50 bones for a reg seed, happily, glad I did. One little bud from one little branch from one first flower paid for hundreds of copies of the best marijuanas in the world, thanks Dr. Who btw

A fool and his money are soon parted. You all know who said that and still so very true.!!!!

Drop me a PM Chemmy.

Expensive cigars - wine - Bourbon - food and a love of racing vintage race cars...... The wife got the racing bug from me too. She runs a 67 GT Alfa.

Just putting it out there. If $50 seed yeilds you at least and oz on a tiny scale
28 grams x $10 = $280 For a zip. $10 a gram avg. You either saved or made all your money back.

Now if you own a dispensary and sell your buds at $ 10 - 15 you are up.

To the Op who is selling seeds at $50 each?

spent some childhood at Milan Dragway, Dad ran his street '62 vette. We would follow in Mom's new 65 ss impala. I bought that car some years ago tires up are newer drive train/suspension etc out to the body...not going to paint it and no balls to race it though that was the plan.

cheers

I'm glad that you are so clairvoyant that you know everything about me from my growing autos statement..
Never the less I THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER ...

and all o four posts reflect one thing..."so much better" is subjective.

for instance I dislike high cbd varieties-for real, they make me feel like I've eaten edibles, also on my shit list.
but I also know those who may rely on this type of variety in their garden. Now high cbd plants are worthless to me, I wont grow any more of them, and I wont take on a patient who needs them so they are worth zero to me you see.

however legit cuts and seeds of proven track records may exist and to a person who otherwise can not locate a specific genetic
or maybe a specific genetic from their specific breeder even and needs them to stop seizures in their child.....I'd say a legit seed of the exact variety they are seeking is priceless right? some weed is liked by some people while the same is not so much.

there isnt a step curve to judge "good weed", you have to pay your dues and try your varieties, every one you can find if you can.
better? stronger? funner? more potent? its in the mind of the beholder really.

the strongest (to me) strain I ever sampled and grew was ghost train haze testing out of the park but I did not like it one bit
way too swirly for me. is that somethign that is better? not to me. to someone else maybe? could be, even priceless if the exact one they seek.

you gettin this?
just because I say chemdog is the very best strain available does not mean it is good for every other user, to some my cuts are worth thousands while others hate on the odor they carry. If a new breeder claimed chemdog seeds for 20 and topdawg had them for 50....I'd stick with the original if I could, and make sure you do your own homework.
seems what you smoke is rarely what someone told you it was and when you grow the cut differently you may have an entirely different experience once again.

if you think the seeds are soo much better then they are. if you were told they were so much better by a trusted source then they are. otherwise you take a chance like the rest of us. I have never been dissappointed by a seed purchase regardless of what I spent, accept ak48

Such a BIG SPENDER....
