Live Stoner Chat Calling seed vendors. Could you be small breeder seed distributor, or is it but a dream?

[The Bedroom Gardener UK]

I'm starting to breed out my own auto lines, and at some point, I would like to share them with others. Personally, I would just send them to people, but this is an age where you cannot take that risk - at either end.

I know that people would not, and should not, provide me with their personal information to send seeds to them. But they would do so with a seed vendor, especially one that was registered to this site.

So I was thinking, would any vendor take me up on the offer of giving them seeds and then they distribute them as freebees when someone has a code or whatever at checkout. I know it would cost postal wise, but it would drive people to the site & therefore more sales. I would even be possibly talked into compensating them for anything out of pocket, thinking of it as a service rather than purchasing a product.

Is that just a pipe dream, or even remotely possible? Would vendors even be interested in someone like me, or is it not worth their while?

In my very humble opinion, that's extremely cool of you. I've read about your crosses and how you're doing them. Small batches, not pollen chucks! It'll be an honor to grow them out but I'm international so not sure how cool that is? If not, I'm happy watching others grow them out!

I'll send my info if you want a tester, doubt you'll fly to my neck of the world and peek in on me, lol. But seriously, send some my way and I'll post my grow on here! Got one going for HSO mark rt now 2x chocolate mint og autos, will be getting a new 4x4 and some qb's soon...

Very cool idea to get your foot in the door. Hope your business works out for you!

I would imagine that seed vendors are very protective about their names/reputation so it would be hard to get a foot in the door, worth trying though if breeding is something you're interested in.

It's a good idea, but it depends on what kind of seedbank you're takking about dealing with. The established seedbank already have deals in place with the most sought after breeders, including freebies from those breeders.. They won't risk their name/reputation on untested freebies from one they don't know... it would be kind of like walking into an established soccer ball store and making a sales pitch for them to carry your soccer ball that's never been heard of or used in a game. There are start up seedbanks that specialize in working with smaller, lesser know breeders though.. They will allow you to sell your packs through their seedbank. But that's risky in its self.. The risk is that they take your "freebies", repackage them, rename them, and sell them.. But there are quite a few of them based here in the states and all over Instagram. That may be a good starting place, but again, it's risky.. t's not a pipe dream, just a long road to travel.. It takes a few years to get a well know rep as a breeder and to build confidence with the buying public. To have pics of all your strains, to get others who've grown them to vouch for you ect.. It's a game of trust.

When I get to that stage, I'll keep you in mind.

Testing the water is all I'm doing. I'm not even at the point of releasing any seeds into the public domain yet, just seeing if there's any appetite for it.

Getting a grow up on here is all I'll be asking anyone. When I get to that stage I'll keep you in mind.
