Because (and I mean absolutely no offense to anyone here) people are dumb! Other industries do what they can to drive the costs to be more affordable for both producers and consumers.
However for some reason, in this industry, if your cuts aren’t absurdly priced than it must not be a good pheno. The people I work for faced allot of flack for offering the solid ass genetics that we offer at a very reasonable price! We’re all about access, and everyone should be at this point. The more points of access for the normal person, the faster legalization will happen.
We’re already at the point of no control, but I’m their eyes…
But anyway, and again, my answer is: people are dumb
The fact this is even being discussed anymore is ridiculous.
If buying clones is financially viable to you, who are any of us to tell ANYONE how they should spend their money. If buying hype genetics makes you happy, do your thing!!! If popping seeds makes you happy, do your thing!!!
Who gives a fuck!?
The only thing that matters is if you turned a profit (whether you sold it all or grew it for cheaper then you could buy it), how you got there is completely up to you
It’s the American Way! But seriously: that’s society nowadays. If someone can make money off an item, there will be someone trying to sell said item for as much as any idiot will pay.
I see the same thing with designer snakes (sounds weird but it’s a huge $$$ market), if you have something unique and keep it exclusive by pricing it high then it builds up hype and demand. Eventually someone with too much money is going to buy in.
I concur, I was just saying my opinion.
And trust me, I’ve said as much to anyone else that’s asked! I ain’t tripping! Everyone should do what they feel is best for themselves is all.
I’m just not and never been a hype dude! You know me!
So you’re trying to say if you can prove you have a unique strain, via some kind of genetic markers, then that would justify the 10k price?
I mean, riddles get old after awhile, and most people here are laymen when it comes to this stuff. Me included, so it just seems after a bit you’re being contentious rather than trying to teach.
But here’s the thing, you’re the grower. I wouldn’t really expect the normal common person to be able to get anywhere near anything that someone that is in tune with this plant would be able to get using just water…
But I mean it’s all good. The plant is very controllable
I know they can be cloned technically but finding a keeper pheno and keeping it around and knowing what it’s like finished before pollinating are impossible (caveat: using traditional breeding methods, maybe there is a hi tech solution). I’ve also read they can be stressed heavily and kept in veg that way. No idea if that’s true.
I have skywalker autos from mephisto outside right now but I’m not expecting much.
Correct, tissue culture I believe. I’ll ask in a few
I know we’ve got Humboldt’s genetics in I believe the largest lab in the US. Not sure on autos to be entirely honest. Now I am
Cannabis is unique still among plants but breeding stock of , for example, hybrid tomatoes are kept under wraps… the seed producers don’t even know the varieties they are producing most of the time. They only know a code that the company can correlate to the variety.
Would Bonnie sell the parents of their F1 hybrids for $100, $1000, $10000? I have no clue just thinking.
I met some guy and he thought he was generous by giving me one single seed? He said its pink runts and worth thousands. No its rainbow runts. he gave me a bud of the pink runts and ill smoke it now.
