Thug pug genetics anyone?

Difference is - there's only a couple Archive strains (like the original dosidos) that gets this much 'love' from the community as well.
It's not really gromer setting the price, it's the people who want the packs. No one is 'willing' to pay 500 for an average Archive pack.

Everyone knows how great the Studly crosses are - and even if pug is or isn't retiring, that male is gone.
So just a matter of wanting to grab legendary crosses that have no way to return - for most people.

Studly crosses had mega hype even before the retirement thing came about. Just didn't jack the price up until the male was killed off.
That's why ya see some of the 'newer' crosses not using Studly struggling to sell at 200. All about that Mendobreath f2.

PBB was won a bunch of awards now.
I don't think most were paying a high price because Studly is gone, it's mostly from they hype from him "retiring." All of his strains went up and many without studly went for high prices as well towards the end. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there were some buying for that reason especially people on here, but I don't think the majority of the people were buying it for the male that is now gone or even knew about it, it was all about the hype at the end. I think the ones struggling to sell are not because of the male but more about them being untested, just my opinion though.

Retirement may have been a 'last chance' thing - but literally everyone knows Studly crosses are gold - unless they're newer to pug. But if you've been following for 2+ years you know full well that Studly made Pug who he is.... 60k followers and deleted, another 60k and deleted, and now 40 some odd k followers.

Folks are growing out a good chunk of these crosses so they're not really untested anymore....seen multiple Billy, Stank, KKB, etc being grown out by now. That drop was like 5 months ago.

But yeah if anyone 'doesnt' know who Studly is - they shouldn't be paying 500 a pack in the first place :D

I mean breeders post on Instagram what day something drops or at what banks, and literally there are a thousand people asking those exact quiestions right after. I doubt the majority of people are that well informed, only some care about that. I think most people bought out of hype or thinking they could flip them for profit (not the one's paying $500 lol).

On this thread people seem pretty informed but reading through a lot of the questions or comments on Gromers posts on IG leads me to believe most know very little about him or genetics in general. There is a large group that does know and care about this, but to my eyes it does not seem like it is the majority.

Some don't care what they grow and some care alot about certain genetics. These prices are cheap compared to the end product. I just dropped my pack of Unicorn poop, I do not regret growing these babies out vs trying to make a grand off the pack.

I've been watching some auctions since april and I only seen 3 studly crosses hit 500usd+ outside of a charity auction, Banana breaths, sophies breath, and Meat breath. There are probably others but the rest I've seen usually end at around 300. I'd bet PBB also hit around 500 before re-release but not since april.

A decent amount of gromers non studly crosses have went for 500+ too, which makes me agree with what you said about the majority not caring about studly and only caring about gromer. Unicorn poop, Rotten Banana, wedding poop, and Kosher all went for 500+ in the last year without studly as a parent.

Even though it shouldn't matter - people that don't care about the genetics drive me bonkers x'DDD
If you love this 'bomb smoke' .... wouldn't you want to know what it was?

But I guess you guys are right... Arghhhhh :D OCD!

Ghostbreath and Larry Bird Breath as well (my LBB just auctioned for 510)

I feel like those non-breath strains only blew up after the retirement thing....with the exception of Rotten Bananas because all his banana gear is like 8 years old, pre Studly I think. Fair enough on the masses, but it 'was' Studly that put Gromer on the map, not the Banana gear.

I didn't have a problem with banks selling the last drop for up to $160, but for the banks trying to bend you over *cough* OES *cough* for up to $500 can suck it.
This wont be the last drop just more marketing,

Do you find it kind of funny how its almost gone full circle cause the mendo breath is originally from gage green right? And they have some SILLY pack prices. I just found it funny how is stuff is now going for the price of the stuff that male came from correct me if wrong on that

You're wrong on that. Ggg sells their packs at crazy prices. Gromer never charged a dime more after the hype. You were already told this literally verbatim. And stop being a chad with you "hes not retiring bs"

Tent update! First time running pug gear. Day 42 in living organic soil under LED (Highlights UVBoards + QB96v2). These are all tester single bean pops, not selected for at all. So far all are looking good except for Billy (not pictured) which threw nanners and has since been relegated to the autoflower tent to see if we can finish her out. Hopefully no pollen got out but a few dark pistils are making me nervous. Stankasaurus is the star of the show so far, hopefully she has terps as well. Currently all I can smell is dead hot strawberries (Oni) when I open the tent.
