To be honest, it's impossible to know what you're getting with these new female seed companies as the seeds are often bought in bulk from other people. It's not correct to say the spanish beans are better than the dutch as the spanish companies sell dutch made seeds and vice versa. The guys behind a Dutch company got laughed out of Amsterdam after their cuts they gave out were rubbish and their femmed beans not good and hermie-ridden, they have not set up shop in Spain and are making beans for at least 5 companies, they were unable to sell their low quality wares under their own name so it's worrying that they are now supplying large quantities of seeds to several companies, to give an example, one self-proclaimed breeder based in Amsterdam is selling ten packs of femmed beans made by these jokers for the scandalous price of 200 euros. It's the height of scamming to sell beans of uncertain quality made by less than careful hackers and claim they are your own work and charge a premium price for them. The customer is being lied to and exploited by these people, so don't buy their seeds as you will be supporting people who are doing zero good for the cannabis plant, they don't love cannabis, they love the money they can make from it.
Several of the Spanish companies have done some very unethical things like feminising Super Silver Haze, Critical Mass and White/Black Widow. As shantibaba, the creator of those strains is one of the few proper breeders around, I don't advise anyone to support the Spanish companies who, quite frankly have stolen his genetics. Taking a cut from a breeder's seedline, spraying it with chemicals then charging a fair whack for the femmed beans is simple cashing in on someone else's hard work, it's like buying pirated dvds, supporting thieves, if this business were at all regulated they would be liable to prosecution for theft.
Those might be strong words but it's true, these fly-by-night cash-in quick companies shouldn't be supported, we should be complaining to them and telling them to do some actual breeding work and create something unique of their own instead of cashing in on someone else's hard work.
Look at the big picture, what I shantibaba finds it harder and harder to sell his strains like SSH because other people are making femmed verisons and shanti goes out of business, that would be a massive loss to the industry and would hurt the genepool a great deal. I'm, just using shanti as an example, other people have had their hard work stolen by these people too.
