High price seeds over $20 each good genetics wrapped in golden paper mean

[HarleyJammer]

... and to think back in the day we used to pour the oz. on an album cover.. using a playing card and gravity to clean the herb of the seeds.. then toss the seeds in the trash..

.. thats where we used to get our seeds

 

[Riviera123]

Yup, I still keep bag seed cause u never know. I'm all for supporting a seed breeder who really has put in the work. So the seed Breeders have websites as well selling their line. Do they have to match the price listed in the seed banks they wholesale out to?

When selling seeds through a seedbank they take 50% of price

If working with a distributor he takes 10-20% , then they sell to seedbank and they take the 50% mentioned above.

Also you can't sell cheaper to public than a seedbank does or they won't want to sell your range

When I worked with a distributor my seeds would sell at seedbank for £60 , I only recieved £20 from that and had to pay £5 tax , so I recieved £15 a pack from the £60

seedbanks help move the seeds with big customer base so that how It works , I just thought I'd break it down to show you the distribution cost etc

Not to mention cost of rent, electricity, supplies etc etc to produce the seeds from my £15

50% up to 70% with a stock paid after sales ... dude, let's be frank, it's a rape for me and XYZ take you for a 0% interest bank ^^

Now this is been one hell of an insightful and educational thread.

To stay out of jail, I have never sold _anything_ whatsoever related to cannabis, other than pinching a couple buds back in high school, when I would get oz's for friends... it was a carrying charge.

I had no earthly idea of all of the "beaks that needed to be wetted"... obscure Godfather reference.... from seed maker to newbie purchaser.

Un-fucking-believable.

Ask @Old Uncle Ben about how we used to get seeds from Amsterdam from Jock, in the '90s. He's got pictures.

Just to let you know, even ancient old Barney's ass gets tempted when seeing those glistening, dripping with trichomes bud shots. Somebody on Reddit posted one of Solfire's varietals and good God Almighty, did that bud look simply fucking beautiful.

Visited their website and they're breeding methods would make fucking Frankenstein seem like a nurse's aide. More twisted, sick fuck chemical sexual manipulation that wouldn't even happen in fucking San Francisco.

I now have a renewed appreciation and love for SouthEast Lights.

High seed prices wouldn't be a thing if people didn't buy them. If people pay $300 per pack someone will sell them. IMO $100 is the max. Most high price seeds are made using hyped clones to justify the price. Is the quality worth the extra $200, not IMO.. I've compared some of them. Many have their website now, so no seedbanks are used.. You should be getting high quality from a $100 pack IMO. You won't find any breeder that doesn't make FEM seeds. Some of the best cannabis were found in FEM seeds. Many plants history came from herms at some point down the line. Quality should be what drives where your $ goes

Seedbanks take 50% but should handle the advertising and shipping.

 

[kaneboy]

do your research and find what suits yourself,you can find anything these days compared to the past.
what might seem like a lot of dollars for seeds can also let you find that 1 gem,plus its fun popping new strains just to see what all the hype is about,the plants you can find is amazing

 

[Cuddles]

it would cost a few dollars to do a Sog from seed , maybe make your own seeds.
Speaking of seeds ok you have your $$$ Seed and it is a a good genetic prospect. I would assume that this seed has been developed by months to years of breeding .
Even regular seeds are expensive .

and not to mention that they are very hard to find these days. It used to be the other way around but now -all the strains I want to grow and buy are always fem

 

[Cuddles]

Sure.

But now, after the decriminalization of cannabis in Germany I assume there will be a lot more seeds and cuttings available in the future...
So at least uere pieces will probably drop.

I´m afraid that the exact opposite will happen. More states have legalized weed over the years and yet the prices have gone up.
Energy prices have, and keep going up and up too. This price inflation also affects breeders and they have to get the money back somehow.

You could be right about the cuttings in future years though I reckon a lot of canna newbies in Germany will not want to buy expensive seeds , but would prefer a cutting instead

 

[RobFromTX]

My friend grew the dutch passion. Light fruity(not so strawberry) smell and the high was very indica(and pretty weak) for something listed as a sativa hybrid. A far cry from the clone thats been going around for 20 years

You can get cheap regular seeds from Seedsman.
I have had good experiences with them. Fast shipping, good support and unbeatable prices during the 50% promotion.

so he´s /they are reliable people? I´ve never ordered from them (yet)

 

[endgegner]

If you wanna buy cheap fems and autoflowers I can suggest shantibabaseeds.
I got 100 autoflowers for 180 euros (I wanna put them in my mother / veg tent as I have space left).
They also have 10 fems for 25 euros each. They don't offer any regular left over seeds, sadly.

it´s a bit like being an artist when they sell stuff via an agent, galerist or online plattform. They really don´t end up with much at all.
Breeders must be paying an absolute fortune in energy cost these days.

After three purchases, I can only recommend Seedsman.

@ojd
I like to buy directly from the grower and when I need the next seeds I'll be happy to buy from you.

 

[foomar]

In my experience growing out hundreds of my own hybrid S1,s there is still considerable variation amongst them.
Would not judge based on a single plant , only 20% of 300 of one of my hacks are indistinguishable from the original.

 

[goingrey]

On sale for 60 eur (about 56 usd) for a pack of 10 on the DP website.

You can make almost $200 on a single pack by reselling as singles!

 

[kordo]

You can still get regular Strawberry Cough from Nirvana. 10 x seeds for 22€

Hi,
I searched but was not able to find any regular seeds on their site...
Could you please provide a url?

 

[Hammerhead]

There should be multiple high quality plants in a pack of seeds. . There will be variations in selfed seeds. The more it's worked the less there will be. Selfing is an awesome tool to get to an IBL.

Sho dew.

He was slow as hell and one of my "haze" was as blueberry as can be. Those were the days.




Oh the drama........
