If you want to send freebies to the farm then do it and if you don't, don't, but quit bitchin, I swear yall sound like high school kids tryin to scrape up enough for a case of Olympia or the Beast. No one calls, pm's or writes to beg you to send them in, you have the address, send them if you want to spread them around to members and patrons of the auction site, but if your lookin for an ego stroke from the site askin for you free stuff your goin to be waitin a bit. Also all free seeds still must be sent to the auction site and redistributed for security reasons. Members don't neccesarily want a private individual having their address in the states or elsewhere so there is still risk and expense associated with the freebie seeds
If you think the seeds are to expensive then don't buy them, pretty damn simple, keep in mind that for the most part it is an auction site, so the bidders set the price not the site. Everyone bitched about no BIN's so they assigned a BIN price so the auction prices didn't go so high and you bitch, cracks me up.
It cost a significantly more to produce seeds in volume and consistantly than finished buds, especially if your a commercial grower..seeds require alot more work before, during, and after the sale, much more of a headache in the big scheme of things. Remember it takes two plants to make one plant of seeds so your return is cut in half from the very beginning of the process and your not goin to get the same dollars for seeded plant as a flowered one, at least the way i do it. I would love to do alot more breeding but can't afford to screw up my entire operation to knock out some seeds of killer genetics only to listen to everyone piss and moan about how they should be free or they are to expensive or whatever...the masses sure take the fun out of breeding for most of us for sure.
Go get some SOMA seeds if ya want real success,lol, which by the way are $250-$300 sticker price for the real deal and total crap, I have spent thousands on his gear and have never got a seed past germination....oh and Mr.Nice..lol good luck there also, depends what year they made the seeds or if Shanti was around as to if there are even viable of not and the list goes on.. so don't get all down on one and not the others because they are all as unreliable, inconsistant and as expensive as the next one.
Nirvana seeds are most peoples best bet, low risk, low cost, high success rate in most cases and Mau has knocked about everything good out there.
