So why is there such a huge difference in seed prices? I can understand the feminized seeds costing twice as much, since they reduce the work required to sex the plants for the most part (occassionally something will come up male from what I understand, but it's rare), allowing quicker times to full operation.

Is it a you get what you pay for, better flavors, higher potency, better yields, more refined highs? Is it greed? More consistent phenotypes?

I'm shopping for some beans...never bought anything before, thankfully been gifted with amazing stuff in the past, most of which were not commercially available. With some unfortunate events I've lost my favorite strains (and the source got fired from this job ) and am looking to restock with some top notch connoisseur stuff again. There are so many options it takes awhile to go through them all to narrow down some nice looking varieties. Paying anywhere from 40-400 bucks for a pack of 10 makes me curious as to if spending the extra money is really worth it (in most industries it is, but well, I think we're taken advantage of alot of the time due to it being such a cash crop)

Any insight from you wonderful folks here would be greatly appreciated! It's tough to throw a ton of money across the border for something that might never get to me.

thanks,
