^^maybe that's why?
i mean, anyone who bought packs of (place the name of an elite breeder's strain here), got some males and females, boom-you now have more of said elite breeder's seeds.

no doubt, $200/$300, that's a lot of money-i think if research is done, totally worth it for the best of the best. imo.

Hell yea paying $200-$300 a pack you'll really think hard before throwing a male away. I know I will. I'll be hitting my potnas up like check this male you like him, you want him.

The seed game is the new game. I think JJ puts his most his at 200 because he knows their gonna be used to breed. If you look at most of the new breeders on ig they either using somebody I named up top. But I feel you.

Yeah I see what you are both saying I still find these prices to be greedy and honestly too much, you can find fire in 50$ seed packs from mr nice guy , some of the best plants I have ever grown were freebies. Not to mention you can make some of the best strains from females, which are easier to find winners than males.

It's just like any market for good quality you gonna pay. Organic food cost more than the non organic food same with cars and everything else. I understand you tho cus I'm not fan of the high priced seeds but if the command the price producing top offspring I can't say shit. I bet you wish you had $800 to but the Dosidos I know I do look how many elite phenos came from that cross it's the hottest cultivar right now and Archive said he has way better phenos than the ones floating around. $800 looks like a bargain but I feel where you come from tho

Yeah I hear that, and when you find that special plant it is worth it to me, but still want to see this fad of increased seed prices come to an end, I want to horde all these seeds but can't afford them :dunce::D:eyesmoke:

It'll come down once there is no grey area on seed buying and selling. You will see a lot more who are still outlaws come out the wood works. Like Vato said gotta cop from the breeders who at cheap and known to have fire

Yea I use good breeders I just think they are kinda greedy about prices. My white fire og cut is probably at least a 2k cut so I see what you are saying but I still think asking over 100$ for seeds from a plant that you basically make for free is crazy, I made over 2,000 seeds from my last seeded plant, don't see why breeders need such a high price point, especially for untested genetics, it's not costing them much to make these seeds it's all profit.

It still might have to do with risk?
Figure most breeders are over the plant count, and that can be sketchy.

Supply/demand.
Why accept $5 when you will sell out at $10?
I know I wouldn't want to go to the effort of growing out the plants, making the cross, harvesting the seeds, testing the cross (like this is happening), packaging, dealing with the business end with the retailers, etc for chump change. Then you got the retailers taking 50-75% of retail.

It doesn't matter the commodity. If it is desirable, limit the supply, the demand goes up. Once the demand goes up, and the hype factor comes into play, the price can be whatever the seller wants. When it all goes legal, and the government starts getting their cut prices will skyrocket IMHO. Might as well add three more middle men to the equation b/c the government will get their cut from the breeder, then another cut from the seed bank, then another cut from the consumer all via taxes. I could be completely ass backwards here, but one thing is for sure....it will be a whole different game from what it is now.

It is pretty amazing to sit back and watch. Early 90s compared to now... its fucking nuts. The Archive interview on the Adam Dunn show a few weeks back is worth a listen. Hits on where the market was, is now, and is going. Dude was so right on imo.

Excellent pics... So that's the Kirkwood OG from archive? hmmm.... well, it looks very good. I read the description on the web page comma said something about a clone from the Kirkwood are near the Kirkwood resort in Tahoe labeled simply " kush" crossed with the face off OG, just like everything from archive pretty much.
So how is it? Happy uplifting motivating or couch lock game changer? How's the yield? How's the lemon profile? Does it have the standard OG Lemon Pledge Pine-Sol diesel Earthy?

Ive grown Kirkwood afew times now and archive's description is pretty spot on. I wouldn't call it motivating but its not couchlock either. Its not necessarily euphoric for me but it does give a sense of well being. Smell and taste is definitely more earthy than anything but there is alittle lemon in there. The resin production of my keeper (out of 3 females) is phenomenal and can hold its own with anything else ive seen. Yield isn't heavy but for an OG is pretty solid.
