Says who? The United Breeders of Cannabis Board? Don't start talking about breeder etiquette. Most Breeders don't know the meaning. Most Seedmakers that call themselves breeders, are nothing more than......what does everybody call them? Closet Hacks, Pollen Chucks? Granted there are a few Breeders still keeping it real, but for the most part it's all a ficad. You know kinda like the wizard of oz, don't pull the curtain back or you'll see the real truth. I think they get a hard on trying to be something that they are not and they get to make a few bucks doing it.RE: F2s
Breeding etiquette should follow the simple rule that F2's from another breeders stock are NOT sold. It's simply not credible to sell a rip-off of someone else's work without the original breeders consent / permission. Most F2's that circulate therefore go out as freebies... via underground collectives and online seed outlets.
RE: seed prices
Expensive genetics are usually exclusive/limited or extremely reliable like Jack Herer. The people investing in these genetics usually grow 'mother to clone' as either commercial growers or connoisseurs... so the cost is usually relevant.
Keep it real

With that being said, where's the beans at?

I know that top shelf herb goes for +$600USD in some areas in the states,including Cali,so a hundred or two hundred bucks versus the return doesn't leave anybody proficient with a grow light and with a calculator any room to complain about seed prices.
Cheers!
there ya go, i know for fact that well grown stinky potent bud brings 650 a zip in denver, all day long. 100 a pack aint squat 1) when you can get 2 zips a plant indooors.
the wankin over seed prices has been goin on since god knows when. and it will continue as it has all these years.
2) 200, 300 per pack aint all that bad, back in the day seed went 100 to 1000s on cbay, and the seed was bought up, and pretty fast.
imo your just wastin your breath, 3) prices have never went down, due to grower bitchin, lol.
were all human, and we all want, sometimes ya just cant have.

Arguably the best haze hybrid available in 1990 - Nl x Hz from the Seedbank. No argument that it could be mentioned in the same breath as any of the top 5 indoor/outdoor/commercial/headstash sativas available to purchase as seeds. Still with me? $100us for (10) seeds. $10/seed. In 1990. The dow was ~3k. Cars were leasing for 99/mo. Gas was 90 cents a gallon. Housing was less than 1/2 the cost of what it is now. Property and business taxes were lower in the states as a collective %. $100 bought approximately $250 worth of goods in 2009 dollars. STILL WITH ME???? Ok, you could go to the grocery store with $100 then, and walk out with 2 baskets worth of groceries... 2 baskets today cost $250...
Fast forward 19 years. I know, many of you were not even born in 1990, so it may be difficult to understand how the same $100 bill was worth so much more. It was, trust an older person.
In 2009, SSH is available from MrNice. Arguably the best practical sativa available. No argument that it can be put in the same breath as the top 5 'practical' sativas available in seed form. It is ~$160 dollars a pack from what I have read here. A pack gives 18 seeds. With me? $160 for (18) seeds, or $8.89/seed.
Sooo. 19 years later, and the same $100 bill buys slightly MORE seeds, because the unit price (price per seed) had fallen 10%+. THE PRICE HAS DROPPED 10%. WTF????
Sorry.
What does $10 get you in 2009? Here is what it bought in 1990:
3/4 tank of gas.
8 packs of cigarettes.
3 assorted sixpacks, or a 30 and a half.
McDonalds for 3+ people (there was no dollar menu. a dollar for a cheeseburger was a lot. Dollars (and 10dollars) bought more.)
I understand why the world has a credit/banking/finance crisis, and why people feel like slaves to the financial machine. This thread has brought to life the utter stupidity of the average 'young consumer'. Inflation, look it up. Unit price, look it up. Adjusted dollar, look it up...
Was: $10/seed, no guarantee/cust support
Is: $9/seed, whith guarantee/cust support.
In between, the dollar value dropped 50%+...
Ball don't lie.
