Has anyone else noticed the prices of seeds have gone way up over the last decade? That seems counter-intuitive; given the number of US states that have recently legalized weed, I would expect the price to go down, not up.

Until recently, I hadn't bought seeds for 8-10 years. Back then, about the highest prices were charged (deservedly) by DJ Short. Now, there are breeders and seedbanks I've never heard of charging as much or more than DJ's strains.

$15 to $20 for ONE seed? You've got to be kidding me. Why, in my day, they didn't even sell single or three-packs of seeds.

Today they give away single seeds. That's right, a few packs of one seed only, maybe three or four seeds total. Ten years ago, Seeds Direct/ Seed Boutique were giving packs of 10-25 seeds away with orders. Granted, most were seeds I never found time to grow, but still... Gypsy did give me a packet of gold, ten seeds of original Skunk by Sam the Skunkman.

That is my rant of the day, having just finished buying a dozen new strains from several seedbanks. Sheesh, some of these new breeders must think their seeds are made of gold...wait a minute. Twenty bucks is probably more than a gold seed would be worth. Me, spend that much?

Forget it.

I hope you bought some regular seeds of strains you like.

As long as you don't go down the sinsemilla with zero tolerance fallacy then you can breed some decent weed. The genetics fall into a few broader classes but even the ones that have no psychoactivity might be CBD stars so all genetics have the chance to be useful.
