Only my second grow but def has twice as many bud sites as my last maybe three times more. Purple rocberry

There are a couple of salty little tricks having some very public meltdowns on IG. Pathetic, yet funny.

Roc needs to get that subscription program going... I’ve missed the last three drops but have been purchasing most of what I need from United Seed Company. Just let us lock in our purchases through a subscription service and push everything else to the seed banks.

The meltdowns are necessary imo. How else would Roc get the necessary feedback, since its proving quite difficult to get a hold of him?

I personally do not like seedbanks if i can purchase direct. Not every seedbank is the same. The big ones are difficult or expensive to enter. The smaller ones are hit and miss sometimes. Worst part for me is, seedbanks charges 150% more for shipping compared to direct breeders. Example, breeders usually charge $20 for international, like Roc does. Seedbanks gonna charge me minimum $50, maybe more for stealth, shipping from the SAME country/ postal service. Difficult for me not to think of them as bloodsucking parasites? Despite my best efforts? LOL

Rather than giving money to seedbank for distribution services, why not invest on your own? I can understand if sales are slow or inconsistent but this is RBI we talking about! Demand always greatly exceeds supply so why da fook not? Hire a few people and it's done. Peeps gonna appreciate the job creation too. The way I see it, is Win Win for all except for mr seedbank.

@RocBudInc Ive been waiting for too many months brother! I'm probably the only dude around here that don't have your gear, despite my great efforts in contacting you. If you'd just take a few minutes to create my order, I'd be a very happy meds grower!

I love our vibes here. Can you believe we are all strangers around the world, brought together by ONE kickass breeder! We are all here cos we love Roc Buds Inc and the man behind it. This itself amazes me every time I read the thread.

Just really hoping RBI won't turn into Mephisto or even Night Owl. Its really a pity for such awesome breeders to be only doing 99% F1 crosses. I don't wanna speculate on their reasons for doing so but it should be quite apparent. There's nothing wrong with it but just be honest about it. The work has decreased exponentially with these new F1 crosses and outsourcing has been employed but prices remains the same or increases instead? The hype strategy being used is the same. I've seen many grab them up, to keep as a collection, never grown. The vibes they are giving out now are totally different from when they started. I'm guessing it won't change as long as they sell out in minutes. I expect to see more competition and "stealing" of genetics as this progresses. Every random home grower gonna be reproducing and trying to sell them and their crosses. As the general Grower population starts getting more knowledgeable, I expect the game to change greatly. Things gonna start getting real legit when I'm old as fook lol.

End of rant LOL

Excellent post baked! Feedback is outstanding! Constructive Feedback is the best and needed to grow a business intelligently. Agree with almost everything above... I’m specifically referring to one asshat that really needed to take his multiple meltdowns elsewhere. If one feels that strongly then it’s healthy to just move on to another Breeder. I’ve had to do it, life is short.

I still think @RocBudInc best strategy for him and customers like us could be the membership program, just depends on it’s membership levels and execution. I think the potential would be so immense that the program would empty his inventories without frustrating us as customers. We could see what coming in the future and pre buy his inventory so too speak. I’m hopeful... I think it’s coming soon.

Your other points about seedbanks is excellent, especially those that live outside the U.S. and the increased pricing , you’re right. I also saw those conversations happening as well on his posts tonight.

I’m out on Mephisto, had a couple nice paragraphs written but decided to delete it, but again I think you’re spot on.

Just counted 16 seed packs that I’ve purchased from Rocbudinc in the last six months. Going to have a nice sized Veg/Autoflower Room soon, so I would love to keep buying his beans.

Sorry for the rambles, I need to ice the bong up and get the Plenty packed for a nightcap.

Cheers.

As much as I love your idea, it's actually best for us but not necessarily for Roc. With a subscription, no matter how it is run, pretty much means subscribers pay a predetermined amount and RBI will deliver beans on a periodic basis.

That means ball is now in Roc's court. He has a schedule now instead of being able to drop whenever he's ready or feel it's up to par. That is probably not how an artist like himself likes to work.

Does he cap the subscriber numbers? If he does, those that don't get in will be more disappointed than they are now. Drops will be harder to score as subscribers will likely be taken care of first. Lotsa first time buyers gonna be turned off or discouraged. Just like I won't bother buying something that was released to a privileged group before me, but that's just me lol.

If he doesn't cap it, that'll present even more problems as there are only that many seeds per drop and he's known for small batch pollination.

Personally, I'd only do a subscription service if I was a seedbank and seeds sent are random. But that wouldn't be too popular I guess.

Don't get me wrong. I'll jump into the subscription right away. Just giving my 2 cents

Hey... It’s not my idea. Roc mentioned that he was putting together a subscription program, not me. I would like the opportunity to join but that depends on what’s involved.

Not sure about the rest of your post though... Whatever, clearly what he’s doing now is not working. Just going by what he has already alluded too.

With the advent of apps like CashApp it seems like an entrepreneur could fill orders without too much difficulty. I have emailed Roc requesting a list of available seeds and that I could send him the dough. I did it because I am working 18/7 right now and catching a drop is nearly impossible. No response but if it does not work for him it does not work. Seems like there could be a way. Obviously it would be a few emails back and fourth: request for a list of available seeds, list of available seeds, request for seeds, and an email back from Roc with a total and an order#. Not too bad. I may be missing something.
Hard to get a response for one email much less a back and fourth. Love Roc OBV!
I think his passion is making great genetics. I think he just needs one person with the true entrepreneur spirit to operate the business end.
Of course we can not forget he is not an IT guy. He is at the mercy of his service provider when it comes to the site. OBV he has had some bad luck there. Also his medical issues have been quite intense. He will get it straightened out. I'm sure he has a feeling of no light at the end of the tunnel when he sees all of the emails he must get. It can be a daunting task.
Go Roc!
