Spending $$ on genetics

[sharer6969]

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?

In my experience it can go either way.
Take Nirvana Standard for example.
VERY inexpensive.
They have a version of mango that is called Papaya and is lovely.
They have a White Rhino knockoff that is powerful but carries the easy-to-herm trait. Especially bad for a noob, and even I had MAJOR problems with it.
There are some reputable breeders that are still selling very reasonably priced strains... under $100 USD for fabulous genetics.
I was very happy with the service I got ordering Subcool's stuff from cannaseur.com! And there's no argument that his and Jill's genetics are some of the best ANYWHERE.
(But I still am a sucker for bagseed beans from really nice smoke... shhhh... it's my dirty secret! )

what Breeders would u guys suggest? from a conservative stand point, good grow+good bud = fair price, above 150 i think isnt worth it, more like 80-120

Plan B Collective is using genetics that as far as I am aware have their roots back in the NorCal Growers Coop days...some smarty pants please confirm/correct?... the same pool that spawned legends like Apollo13 and a lot of the BOG line.
The prices are reasonable too.
Their Black Indica is a pretty hardy plant and I grew it back in the day.
I think bd bud depot, cannaseur, and sacred seed sell them.

Hell ill use bag seeds when I Johnny apple seed that bitch. I love to germinate and then plant in parks,back yards, generally places where no one can disturb them; so why spend money on the uncertain, right? Seriously though the best way to go about finding seeds is to go online and meet other growers. Ive gotten seeds from NY, Cali, Miami, Seattle, Vancouver. Get out and meet people!!!!!!!!imp:
