I was looking around this morning seeing what future strains I may want to get, and I am noticing some of the seed suppliers/breeders are charging 18 bucks per seed now, I think the typical 10 bucks per bean is still a little high, considering how many seeds one good sized plant can put out, they are making big bank.
I was going to say I’m not complaining but I guess I really am 🤑

Might be time to find a new seed bank or order straight from breeder , when possible.
I just ordered about 110 seeds straight from breeder. It was under $400.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say just make your own seeds it’s so easy all you need is a little 2×2 tent and some clones in solo cups and a male plant or some silver thiosulfate to spray and reverse the females you choose to breed with!

@wrath420 all that is is pollen chucking that’s not creating a strain

@adk_grown I never said I was creating new cultivars? But I do cross different cultivars every now and then to creat something unique if I think they will work together to make a better cultivar than both parents were! But you can call it pollen chucking if you want I call it stabilizing a cultivar I love for the future! I usually breed 2 lines one for flavor and the other for potency to F5-F6 and then I cross the 2 lines and wind up with a stable flavor packed potent F7 that will consistently taste the same and have the same potency from seed I only do this with a cultivar that I truly love and I still love to Pheno hunt from seed but I’m not really complaining about the price because they usually pay for themselves in the end!

@wrath420 I have seeded females in the past, but there are a lot of strains to try out there that people have created from great genetics. I get burned out on the same bud, it’s nice to try new stuff or hunt down something else you know you already like.

@Hannabis I know what you’re saying I have the same addiction to buying seeds lol but when I do find a Pheno that I love I will make some seeds of it if it comes from regular seeds I usually try to pick the best male from the pack to pollinate the best female plants because there’s a lot of variety that can show up in the F2 generation and you could find some great ones in the future and if it’s a keeper from fem seed I usually just S1 them with silver thiosulfate reversal spray and sometimes I will cross 2 different Phenos from the same pack of seeds and make some S2 seeds and they usually show me some variation in the Phenos for some future Pheno hunting

All the time and work that goes into making a strain I can’t see complaining about a few dollars a pack of good genetics is going to go anywhere from 150 to like 300

@adk_grown I usually don’t buy more than 10 at a time, I have had great strains that I paid a little for, and ‘okay’ strains that I paid too much for. It’s not like it’s going to break the bank to buy a 10 pack, so I will splurge for a strain I really want to try. I do wait for a price break or coupon sometimes though..
