Then why did you buy his strains?

What would be crazy and very hard for you to explain is how would he be greedy by giving him free seeds?
You need to look a bit harder, there are more then 1 grow journal of Greenthumb gear on this site alone.
I agree with edison, listen I have the money to spend it if I'd like to waste it. Im not like, "wasting money rich" but I work very hard and get most of the things I want, but I wouldnt pay Dr GT prices if I hit the lotto. My father always said, "A fool and his money are soon parted" And be easy, Im not calling anyone a fool, 
its just a saying. But I wouldnt go with DR. GT mainly bc it is over priced. Just bc some thing is more expensive does not mean it is the best. Im sure his seed are great but why pay more when they're are cheaper options that are just as good. Peace out, and make the world better one toke at a time. Cheers

the op, like pipe dream, myself and a few others got the gig of growing the test beans as dr greenthumbs came here on riu, and offered to send some free beans to grow.. just had to get in contact with the dr, give him your info, and i had the beans in under a week.. just asked for journals to be done on the beans..
i thought it was an awesome thing for the dude to do.. i've been here on riu for over two years, and thus far, the only breeder i've yet to run across who was sooo cool and willing to give out free gear for testing has been dr greenthumbs.. everyone praises subcool, but i have never seen him offering anything close to what the dr has done for some of the members here at riu.. he's got me for a customer for life, no doubt.. his og kush was bongtastic...
are his prices a lil on the steep side? no doubt.. but if your happy with your walmart knockoff, cannabis cup buying strains, than by all means, keep pumping money into that tool arjan's pocket, and i'll keep buying from the good dr greenthumbs......

Because you don't know until you try, I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt until I see otherwise. I'm always curious how peoples genetics will come out and I wasn't impressed.

Did you buy them all at once or did you come back for more a 2nd time? Why didnt the price scare you away the first time? When did you buy these?
you said you could tell by his selection that all he does is reverse clones...why couldnt you tell that before you ordered?

I just see his prices as a reflection of bad marketing skills. How many ppl just on this thread have said "Yeah, I'd love to grow some but those prices..."? He would do better business if his prices were more reasonable. But in my opinion, anybody who grows herb & can't afford top shelf seeds, is doing it wrong. One gram of dried weight = one badass seed that you can mother into a million clones. total no-brainer.
It's comical listening to people complain about Seed prices, Im surprised that they dont cost much more than they do.
A couple Oz's pays for the ENTIRE grow, Seed,Electricity,Nutes,medium,Ect. Plus you NEVER lose the genetics by cloning? I dont get it?
yup, common sense except to the low brow mouth breathers who think the world is gonna end in 2012 and feel they better grow as many different bargain basement strains as they can in the next couple of years.
I have never had a problem with any of docs gear and that's worth a lot to me. There is nothing worse than spending months of my time only to end up with hermie genetics which has happened to me with Rez gear and more recently Cali Connection gear. I don't care if the seeds cost ten cents each if they are not relaible

Because they weren't $100 a seed, big difference. It's normal these days to see genetics at around $150 - $200 but at least some of the companies that charge these prices have won awards or have some documentation from grows. I got the Endless Sky years ago and like I said I was disappointed. I moved west and lost my SD so I went and bought as many versions of SD to try and find something similar to the original. I don't judge a company solely on the basis of one strain so yes I tried them again. I did the same thing with C99 basically I use to have it back in the day and lost it and decided to look for it again so I bought up as many C99's to see which was the best. Again, money isn't the issue and $15 a seed is completely different from $100 a seed without any documentation or proof of lineage. And again, I gave him the benefit of the doubt when I got the C99 and SD I figured these strains had been around long enough for some breeders to get their hands on them so I figured they might be alright. I got the C99 and SD around September and they were culled in late November. I had just run into a problem with DNA's Sour Kush which pollinated half of my crop so I wasn't about to deal with hermies again. This is only my opinion so I don't understand why you really care so much. My response of him reversing clones was made after reading people say how he's a real breeder that does so much selection yet most of his strains are from cut's he reversed or crossed out. If you like his gear and want to pay top dollar for watered down genetics good for you, I don't.
Dude, your story just doesn't add up

lol,What doesn't add up? It's cool dude, no one is stopping you from getting his gear. Go buy all of his strains, I hope you find the best weed ever I just didn't get lucky with em'.

Well, I didn't think I'd chime in on this debate but now I can't resist. I'm thinking how most every other form of plant and animal breeding has a far wider price range than cannabis, and if Dr. G's genetics are as good as people say even $100 as seed is nothing if it performs. My friend paid $800 for a parrot and all it does is shit all over the house! It should be laying golden eggs for that price, which cannabis actually does. Consider dog breeders, you can find "pure bred" puppies in the paper for $50 with no greater qualification than that the parents looked to be the same breed, or akc registered dogs from pro breeders for $1000 thoroughbred for health and appearance.
Also most of the doc's seeds aren't much if any more per seed than most at Attitude. My doc seeds came to $20 per seed shipped, Flying Dutchman from Attitude $14 each. Even $200/2seeds is paid for if you grow 20 plants and each plant yields just one extra gram as a result of the genetics. It's still too early for me to personally vouch for his genetics, but after sifting through these forums I don't see many other breeders as well praised. So my guess is he's worth it.

Parrots are not indigenous to most regions so you pay top dollar for the import. You can get them in certain regions for penny's on the dollar.
I think you just disproved your own point, a dog without papers isn't worth nearly as much. Also just to point out a flaw in your analogy, pure bred dogs usually have more health problems than any mutt.
Pro Breeders, lol

I know my analogies aren't perfect matches, and birds and dogs aren't cannabis, though a well bred animal really does stand out from mutts, just saying in general that cannabis isn't as bad as a lot of flora/fauna price range wise. I would be willing to give those $100 seeds a try though. I'll report back if I do. The best deal in genetics are layer chickens! $2 a bird and they lay so many eggs, and even go searching for their own food! Too bad eggs aren't worth more.

Funny. as a breeder of champion Boxers and Belgian tervurens , the reason that most health problems occur is because dogs are bred that have health problems , simple as that. buy from a pet store and get it cheap, you mostly get a crappy dog. i put alot of time and money into it and i feel i am justified in asking top dollar. if you dont want to pay top dollar then dont waiste my time
