hey guy's ... i protest! the bidding for this is out of control ... i bid high, but already lost out to a $160 dollar bid & it will prolly go even higher then that before it's over. i don't know how to feel bout this, but i don't like it ... call me a cry baby, but is this really the way to sell these to your brother & sisters growers out there? can we please get a flat rate? how limited is this stock? over $160 for these is disturbing to me, and others i'm sure. sorry for this little rant, but if feel like a bit teased here & i don't want to have to pay astronomical $ to get these genetics.

There are more stocks on the way to seedbay which will enable us to do flat price auctions. We are going to be adding some buy nows to the auction in due course and we have added some one day auctions as well today and will be adding more.

Give us time my friend, please. It is as much of a surprise to us as it is to you, so we are unprepared and need to discuss.

Thank you for your support.

Peace, hhf

As we have said this will be happening soon.

This pleases us greatly and we look forward to actually seeing that.

We put the opening bid at $20 to cover Seedbays costs. People are bidding high prices. I remind you that you can turn those ten beans into hundreds of thousands and maintain the line for life, that is for sure the quality of the genetics being shared. You have our guarantee on that.

It is hard discussing money and values of them..and the work involved in the asseccions is for sure hard. But the pleasure in seeing them grown, preserved and loved afterwards is massive.

Peace,hhf

Red, you don't have to apologize. You've done very much. We will make sure those last seeds make it to us safely and are bred and distributed properly.

About the bidding...

The thing is if we had put all of our stock up on seedbay as buy now it probably would've disappeared so fast that many of you wouldn't have even seen them. These first few auctions really are just for us to get an idea of how much demand there is. Putting these first few packs are being auctioned which aallows them to have visibility for a longer time so people can see what we have. I'd also like to say to people that it really isn't wise to bid high. If you have patience you will be able to get them for a better price. The colombian black which is a much more interesting and rare strain is went for around $60 last time which isn't a bad deal.

both strains are sexy (la negra y la roja tambien), but i have more strains in seed than i can handle right now :P trying to germ my last 5 seeds of federation hawaiian sativa. 3 don't look like they're gonna sprout. 2 more to soak...

i'm also doing sensi's jamaican pearl (personally purchased from sensi in the 'dam). i've been astounded by how mold resistant she is, but after the last storm, i don't think anything would be mold-free...

zamalito · 04-03-2007, 10:28 PM

Yeah, glock. That's what I love about the real blue mountain jamaicans. Frequently in the blue mountains they'll receive daily rains for the last month before a harvest so thes strains have something in their genetic makeup to make them immune to mold spores. I had one year where the rains here were so bad and the temps were so consistently cool that even my airy mexican sativas were molding even at the first signs of flower but the blue mtn plants resisted like a real champ.

I wanna do some Seedsman Original Haze myself. I have lots of sativas I could cross with it.

Can I get away with growing the Punta Rojo indoors?
