I’m

its just an addiction. I don’t need any beans of an kind lol but there r some in stock I would like to have.

Lol I know this struggle all too well. Im sitting on 12 different strains that I haven't even tried yet. All the while looking at more beans to buy

For various reasons I ended out placing three orders with NASC within a few weeks of each other. With each order my freebies have been the same, in small generic ziploc bags simply labeled "Green Crack". After three orders I have 10 of these seeds. Earlier today I emailed NASC asking who the breeder was, but so far I have not heard back from them.

I'm wondering where these seeds came from. In the past I've either bought directly from breeders who give away some of their own stuff (even if it's experimental F1's or phenos they decided not to include in their regular stock), or banks that leave the freebies in the breeders original packages. Either way you know the source.

Has anyone grown NASC freebies? Even better info would be if anyone has specifically grown their Green Crack freebie? I'm doing much smaller grows these days, so I need to know what is filling each space in the grow. Free is nice, but for me mystery seeds aren't an option.

Ah, I got Bruce Banner autos, which as far as I can tell is from Monster Genetics but that breeder is not listed on their page. So who knows? That said all in a positive experience but yeah, the freebies seem to be a bit mysterious.

I got sour diesel.
My impression was they are products of nasc and not other breeders. I could be wrong though. I didnt even see my freebies offered for purchase from any breeder on the site so that's why that was my assumption. Sounds like dclxvi got a breeders work. Maybe it's a mix. Maybe you got all the same freebies because they are out of the other stuff? Idk

What made you think it was from Monster Genetics? Just curious.

My last order was larger, so in addition to the Green Crack was a bag labeled "Northern Lights x Blueberry". Up until that point, I thought the Green Crack might be re-bagged FastBuds, because they are the only breeder I could find on the site that carried that strain, and I was OK with that. Then I got the second strain, and like you said, no breeder they list runs that one.

I was not aware that NASC did their own breeding.

I'll let y'all know if they get back to me. Unless they impress me with the source, I'll probably plan on giving these seeds away, I've got no time for random stuff.

.....

Random googling and looking at the seedmans site, the only "regular" non numbered and such "Bruce Banner" was from Monster Genetics. I shot NASC an email, still waiting to hear. Not terribly important since they were free but I'd like to know simply to look up growing recomendations.

NASC has a side business or maybe main business of clones and mainstream garden/nursery stuff.

I hadn't noticed that before, thanks for pointing it out. I haven't read many reviews of Seedsman seeds. They have Green Crack, and they have both Northern Lights and Blueberry, so the other seeds I got could be a cross they made that they decided not to go public with (yet?).

Different breeders and banks treat "freebies" differently, some seem to unload old stuff or seeds that wouldn't sell, others take more pride in what goes out attached to their company name, and make sure that even though they're free, they're still up to their standards. I'm not sure where this falls. I guess including freebies is sort of necessary to remain competitive, so they have to come up with something.
