I'm just trying to understand something because it seems a lot of peeps are blasting and hating on breeders ...especially the newer kids on the block and their strains but haven't even grown or smoked the strain(s) in question from said breeder(s) yet ....what's up with that?
So what I really wanna know is what's more important to you ....(a) the breeder's background, (b) the genetic make up of the strain, or (c) the end product! Remember, please be honest! GO

BTW It's end product for me ...the others seem kinda irrelevant if a product ultimately has to speak for itself, right?

I would say end product is important, over time other factors can play in such as personal character, I'm sitting in a load of someone's gear that I'm not sure ill ever crack. I know ill never buy any of his gear again for the simple reason I know how shady he's been with the folks who share their cuts with him.

B, and C... Because they go together

Knowing the parents gives you an idea of how stable said selection could be, I guess this would be most important to me.....

End product only matters to if its a stable strain, because it could be a one of a kind find..... Just because they found that stupid one out of a million doesn't mean you will


So I guess that means parents are most important, just so I can gather my own idea of the seeds I'm getting

I don't care too much about who makes the seeds.

But what I do care about is that they are honest about the genetics and how they went about making what ever seed variety they are selling. If they give a few details on the origin or background on parental's that's a plus.

I don't fan boy breeders, I chase genetic lines that interest me. If you have what I want at the time I will buy it, so long as I am confident in it's lineage. I tend to research the hell out of strains before I buy them, I don't just buy stuff for the sake of buying stuff.

Some people just set off my natural bullshit detector. I don't know what it is, but I can just tell when someone is full of shit or just looking to get rich quick, these are the types I avoid.

I don't care who bred it , gifted it , stole it or whatever as long as the end product is what I'm lookin for that's all that matters to me and if the breeder is actually a good guy then its a bonus.

id kinda compear it to pop hits and one hit wonders, you can pull something out of the hat which everyone loves but be completely talentless in the long haul. thats my opinion anyway. thats not to say the good breeders dont know their shit!

Genetics.

When I get seeds, I get as much info on the parents as
possible. But I will sprout a seed if it holds interest, lineage
be damned.

I can deal with hermies and low yields, it's the dead end stock that
will do you in. I say grow seedless, but also make as many crosses
as you can and share it.

We do not need these young pollen chuckers throwing stuff around confusing everyone. Like 10 breeders Allready make a chem dawg, we don't need your home made cross, trust me....and even the good breeders like CSG who release a strain called strawberry dog shit dispute the fact that there is no dog shit DNA in there at all. More breeders equals more BS watered down genetics floating around. Who among us have gotten an OGK cut only to find out it was Cali connection and not real OG. Just stop allready unless you want to take things out to F10 and stabilise your "New strain"

:tiphat: this is my point..in my Stop the Kush craze...

just because you have a quality cut DOESN'T make you a breeder..

There are so called "breeders" today that bought seeds from Rez and Gypsy 10 years ago and are NOW breeders...it's laughable

peace

I think we've all grown a pollen chucked strain that crushes anything we ever got from a breeder ....I have! I don't really think chuckers hurt cannabis genetics as bad as peeps think ....misinformation over the web/forums concerning strains I feel does more harm than the chucker actually does! A breeder has to be a chucker 1st, right?

i usually prefer strains that have proven themselves over a decade or so. this endless yearly release of new crosses of the same old genetic background smells too much like marketing than actual breeding. (not saying all new strains suck).

Integracy and customer service on behalf of the breeder are indeed to decide what keeps me coming back ...or else, never again!

Iranian auto flower by Dr. Greenthumb for instance... Was NOT an auto flower at all, was a completely wasted 245 euris for 22 seeds, NO back funding.

That guy just lost a paying customer and will be bad mouthed by me whenever I get an opportunity to do so. ^^

If they can't even get their names right... pfff, what do I need to say more?

5$ per seed...could be honest.
50$ per seed...cold be honest too.

The important to me is to know what I can expect from the seeds I'm gonna buy.

I can buy GHS seeds, they're only female and cheap. From these I can find a good keeper and that's all for me.

I can buy the superdupermegaogkush for 50 bucks per seed and use it to make more seeds and start spread pollen around and everything else.

I can't see nothing bad in both things and for coming back to the topic, for me everything is important about the strain, the breeder's work etc... once I know what I have in front of me, I can choice if I want to spend 5 or 50.
So first of all, I think the most important thing is to be honest on what you're selling, than I can make my own choice.
