Seed Bank Attitude Seedbank order seized by customs.

If i can turn a 20 dollar seed into buds its worth it. But i don't pay 20 bucks for an auto bean. pop what sight is so expensive? or you talking about fem photos? Ive seen some in the 60 70 dollar range and that nuts! auto fem cost from 8 to 13 dollars in smaller packs. i need to grow some photos!

I too think prices are out of control. Its getting harder and harder to get regular seeds also. Why are fems so popular with breeder's? repeat sales. 90% of people won't attempt to find a way to breed from fems, and most don't want to deal with clones. They know this so they got you hooked. $20 + for a single seed? then the maybe 300 or so I've collected from seed runs are worth $6000.........Its one thing to pay for quality genetics, its another to get your pocket picked....

Its to bad all these growers on one forum, plus all those other forums, and we don't group together and completely cut out the major seed banks over charging us.

We are more then capabel of producing or own genetics, working together.

Hope that last post don't interfere with any sponsorships that's going on here

And if your growing for medicinal reasons, paying $47 for one seed shipped can be painful for some people, then hoping it arrives...then hoping it germinates....etc

Now that's something that nobody can argue with!

Have to agree with you growbeast, but that would be against chat rules too. Puts poeple at security risks too. Dont want anyones personal information in the hands of folks you dont know!

You do have a point. It doesn't cost them a lot to make seeds. They are making a shit ton off us, but I do agree that I have paid $18 to $22 for one seeds, but I have also grown almost $800 to $1200 worth of meds from that one seed. Yea some companies don't have the best germ ratio, that's why they sell 6 to 10 packs, so they fell like your odds are better. Lol

it would difficult to get everyone to quit buying from them, some people feel that's the only way they are getting true gentics. But if you don't get a breeders pack, how do you know it's even what it's suppose to be until it's done growing?

well when you get 8 or 9 free great seed with a 5 seed order then i believe its worth every cent 5 fem seed for 60 dollars plus 8 free fem seed---thats 13 seed for 60 dollars

You guys are right, in just a dreamer who dreams of an honest world where everybody...oh fk it, let me hop over on attitude and grab 10 critical kush seeds for a hundred bucks and turn that into a 1.5- 2 pounds, i guess that ain't to bad when you're guaranteed what genetics you get

 

[growbeast]

can we all at least agree to complain once in awhile about the prices so they will at least keep them where they're at and not raise them?:dunno:

Pop mentioned why fem only..
Well, i don't know if it's a case of what came first the chicken or the egg..
but we are told by our distributor that there's minimal demand for regular seeds, not everyone is like a forum member interested in the plant and growing to the point of wanting to make their own seeds, some people
just want to set and grow commercially where males are redundant, then to the smaller scale growers, if you have a limited space and are growing for bud only do you want to lose plants to them being males.
Maybe some prices are getting out of control from some people.. I haven't checked in a long time, but historically there's always been hyped brands and beans selling for a silly amount.
but if you spend 80 bucks on 7 fems, how much weed can you buy for the same? Of course there's time and cost and risk to grow your own but I'm guessing you can pull way more in value than the original
cost.
for us we would like to produce regs, they are easier to make, less space required, less time, way more ease, but if there's no market and we are stuck with stock we can't sell.. It's a waste.

Also in regard to producing seeds in mass selling through any of the distributors, we only make 30% of the retail price, some make even less.
and it's not like that 30% is pure profit, packaging costs, tax, bills etc

cheers
