Why pay more than $40 for a pack of seeds?

If you're a dude, or a med patient, not knee-deep in the weed scene, all things being equal, why would you pay more than say $40 for a pack of seeds?

I say that b/c MOD offers packs of beans for $30. They're potent and crystally.

AnnaC offers a bunch of strains as well, at the $35 price point. My question would be - if you bought a couple of packs of MOD seeds, a couple of AnnaC - you probably would get genetics equal to quality of the $100-$200 seeds, minus the hype!

Dont forget the seedbay auctions - SSH xNLA, UK Cheese crosses, $20/10.

The buds I've seen of SSH and NLA have been rediculous... For $20 to get results approximating the parents is a crazy deal!

The most I've spent so far is $100+ for a pack of seeds, that didnt end up going well at all... have a couple orders coming in of seed packs from $20 - $60... a good range for me for now!

For new growers, I give the advice - start with the small stuff, pick up interesting crosses from the 'bay... that way you can see if you're cool with that level or if u REALLY need the neewest chemmy funk... that's cool, AnnaC has something along those lines for $35!

Or if you have $45 to spare... CLS Seeds has some killer crosses as welll.. just need someone to (over)grow them out! Peace Thanks for reading

MOD: Menange



SSH ($20 SF auction)



just saying there's good value to be had!

p.s. I was 'elevated' when I rote this. Intended as a public service announcement. Grow on peoples!

So true brother. annaC' Yummy Diesel is some of the absolutely best herb I've smoked. So good.
Got some Kali-Dream too, from MOD, can't wait to try those out, mmm, tasty indi x Kali Mist.. Can't go wrong!
I like some of the higher priced too tho. Sometimes the extra money buys you something really special. And example is Chimera' Highland Mex x BB, can't get those kind of Mexi genes too many places nowadays.

40 bucks or 200 bucks really isn't enough of a difference to make me care. If you think like that you may as well pass buying seeds all together and just use bag seed.

Well being that you're in Japan where weed costs 1k an ounce (or whatever) I can understand, realize we're not all stacking phat chips and plus the $200 beans can turn out to be shitty.

Good job not caring, i'd roll with you if I was in Nippon, however I'm in the states where there is a difference between $40 and $200...

Let's not forget the time issue... grow out one pack of $200 beans or 4-5 packs of other beans? People are making crosses out of the expensive beans, which then are sold cheaper via the 'bay... Plus bean sellers have been known to lie/mislabel their gear... so you're fucked out of $200, time waiting for the beans, grow space where u could've been growing something else...

As I recall the famed CHEM shit came from bagseed... and MJ is a fackin WEED... so yeah.

Thanks for the info on the Yummy D's! Those have been sitting on the 'bay forever... same with Chimera's Mex x BB, that one doesn't get any love! (edit: no love b/c its an equatorial outdoor strain lol, not for everybody)

It's all about VALUE people! If you care about names, buy some MOd beans or whatever, then call the resulting herb whatever the fuck you want! Unless your hanging with the emerald triangle elite crew or the cali elite scene, nobody's going to know the difference....

B/C its all bullshit! ChemDxWhitexPurpsxUrkelPurpsxK ushxMyballs... u gotta see thru the marketing hype bullshit yo!

I do agree that you can find some great plants with cheap seeds. I think its more about finding a good, honest, breeder and seed bank. And then picking out the genetics that interest you. If its something you dream about at night, fuck the price, buy it! If you will just grow whatever, and hope it turns out killer, than great pick out some cheaper beans! It works out for everybody really, if it doesn't interest you, don't spend the big dough.... Shit i'm sure there's some real cheap bastards around that buy like one fem seed at a time hahahah.

But I don't agree with your last statement of the og and all that good shit, have you ever smoked some real deal OG? How was that flavor? And have you ever grown out some chem d? Not hype. Maybe the names create hype, but the real deal shit isn't hype IMO

BTW $100 is my limit. There is a ton of great shit to get for 100 or less, DG, mosca, grindhouse, head etc etc

$200 bucks is bullshit
I'd pay around $100 bucks a 10pack just for a quality strain.

Cool

dont talk about price in general..price is always realtive... for example: i paid 90 bucks(which is quite a lot for me to pay for seeds) for tom hill haze, and i think its cheap as hell! if i assume flo times, amount of selected plants and so on and so on...

price for ssh is also cheap imo...18 seeds..from one of the best breeders around...

as for reservoir seeds...rez has huge reputation here...for making great aand potent crosses... many great cuts around from his seeds so...

and one thing yet...if you think price is too high for you, then dont buy it and stop btichin about it!

peace
