hey all, iv been searching past forum posts for the past hour or so trying to find the answer to my question:

what is the difference between expensive seeds like the seeds from sensi and cheaper seeds from other seed banks?

the more detailed answer the better, thanks ;]

Their better..............

better how? im talking about same strain, different seedbank; to be more exact.

bidzbay, and elite genetics will kick the living s#@% outta' anything from a'dam!!!! listen to me now, and t'ank me lateah! higher prices do not automatically mean better seeds! I'm running subcool's vortex,spacebomb,astro queen,jack's cleaner2,querkle,deep purple... trainwreck from british hempire...from elite, I have herijuana/o.g.kush, and chemdawg D/ san fernando o.g...next will be the fire white. here's a pic of the white clone only:top that a'dam!!!!!!!

Sensi is a better breeder, their strains will have more desirable phenotypes and probably better genetics, tried and true, over the cheaper breeders.

thanks a lot, im liking elite a lot... hard to choose what i should go with from them. have you ever gone with their twisted purple og kush? im looking for a higher yielder that is a little more sativa based with an intense high; any reccomendations from elite?

yeah ive looked at elites list and i cant make up my mind... i just know i want sumthin frosty. what strain is that in the pic

If you check Elite genetics' prices you'll see that they hardly fall outside the category of "high prices don't guarantee good genetics". Find me ONE really good deal on their site! I'll admit, I've never used them as a seed source myself, but I'm willing to stake something of significant value that says that most, even the more experienced growers on this board, or others, hasn't done a scientifically rigid enough experiment in comparing identical strains side by side under identical growing conditions to tell you one way or the other. That's what makes so much of the claims on the internet, or reputation-based, so subjective. Do what you want, but if it was my money, I'd find a cheaper alternative to get my desired results. Feeding the beast is not something I've ever been willing to go along with.

I've not grown a lot - but I've never had any problems with Paradise seeds, but last time I grew Nirvana which were about a quid a seed instead of the £6-8 per seed Paradise...germed 3, one didn't survive and one was male (ok, theres a price difference from the paradise being fem and the nirvana being reg...but paradise reg seeds are more expensive anyway - and I used the colloidal silver method on the nirvanas which was supposed to send them all female...assuming it would have worked, 1 out of 3 for the cheap seeds and 4 out of 4 for the not-so-cheap seeds...so it stands to reason doesn't it that the better seeds you buy the more luck you'll have?)

Mandala are a good choice for cheaper seeds. Sannie has good prices as well. Here's a pic of Mandala's Sadhu.
