Spending $$ on genetics

[stinkyattic]

Word Dusto... guess what I have coming in the mail next week? And I didn't spend no stinkin' $700 to get it either. Sacred Seeds Toronto comes through again with the esoteric shit!

wOOt

BOG sourbubble BX3!!!!!

stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on 02-21-2007. Spending $$ on genetics Obviously, good seeds make for good plants. But I'm wondering if it's really worth forking over for "premium brand" seeds, like from the more established Amsterdam seed banks? Are the claims to superior genetics genuine, or for most strains (esp. older established ones) is buying cheaper seeds going to be just as likely to get good results? Rating: 5

you littlelucky shit, i looked there and i though i saw no US...maybe i was crosseyed....wtf?

Were still gonna have to work something out.

/DROOLING on the the bammer i have now

hahahaha dusto you are friggin hilarious.
Yeah they don't ship to the US... but stinky works in mysterious ways... with a little help from a cool dude up there in the frozen north, eh! (kisses to KDS)
Granted the beans are probably almost 4/5 years old. But who cares. It's a killah strain. Best pheno of I think bogglegum that has been backcrossed several times. BOG put a lot of work into really stabilizing that bogglegum strain. It might ALMOST be considered an IBL or stable hybrid by now.

ehhhm, ehhhm. I'd consider it what the fuck you want it to be considered. I was trying to get the bx2 a while back off of seeedbay. I bid and won the auction, but my laggin ass never sent the f'in money..<--idiot, and thats when it was only like $95. I gotta go work on this car, but chica check yo mail.

oh i wish i had pals in the growin world, but ever one around here likes to keep quite, well cant blame them i do the same, no wonder. I asked one kid for some seeds who has a connect and he like blew up my face like i had no idea what was going on, saddly mistaken the boy was, might have cut him in on sum. Either way im just gonna order some c99, had a very nice description on joeyweed, they crossed it with others types but i dont want to deal with poor genetics of crosses.

Look up 'hybrid vigor'... you can get some crazygonuts individuals with a F1 hybrid.

I believe that a large sample size (lots of seeds to plant) is better than buying a few seeds with good genetics.

if you could get 50 1$ seeds and pick the best plant. You'll probaly get a better plant than spending 25$ a seed on two seeds.

I agree wholeheartedly, for a grower who plans to start from seed and proceed to propagating from clones.

I think that the true value in the cheap Nirvana strains lies in their frequent variability... the experience I had with a couple of the strains I got from them... of 10 beans, ~7-8 were male or useless, one was fine, and one was exceptional, worthy of being kept as a mother.

This was true of more than one strain I have worked with from them!
