And seemingly unqualified to be a breeder… For years I didn’t buy into it (no tolerance) I also thought that the kind of flavors people talked about were kind of far fetched. Then I grew my own… Then a had some really good grows…
It’s kind of like thinking that some good places at the mall is the pinnacle of the culinary world to gilt hate your eyes opening by an amazing meal prepared by a renowned chef. The stuff at all of the dispensaries I’ve been to in IL is generally sub par, and 1/8 of decent flower is $70+.
Pollen chucking seems to be pretty standard practice now. Some are better chuckers with better selections, some just have some hype strains on hand, some work their lines. I don’t care what you do, as long as you’re transparent.
I’ve got some pricey packs coming from In House, Lit Farms, Exotic Genetics, etc. Lit I’m not so sure about, but I believe they run a nursery (a lot to select from) and are connected with some other good breeders, so worst case I’m hunting good genetics.
I have some Ethos coming as well and will be running their gear for the first time. It at least seems like they try to be transparent and they don’t overwhelm the market with all the latest hype. I want to pick up one of their multipacks if the few I picked up go well. I’m happy to give these folks my money, breeding isn’t easy. But, if you’re going to be a jackass (seems big time breeders aren’t the most well adapted group at times), keep secrets, not be a healthy part of the community, and say stupid shit, I’m not going to give you my money.
I was all ready to try something from GGG, then I read a little more about them. Same with TGA stuff, I was all ready to support a good female breeder, then I researched a little… Then I wasn’t so keen on Subcool stuff. I let my money talk, which is why I’ll be buying more #bodhi stuff when I’m done checking out the latest hype. It’s what I bought first when I started with photos, and seeking out Bog stuff and some cool OG stuff with stories (though not much luck on the Bog). Think the earth is flat, don’t think different strains have different effects, cool, I can cross you that breeder off my list.
My problem is that I don’t care if they’re free or $500 a pack, I want to try anything new, different, off, and that I’ve never had or green before. Surely there must be a help group for this. It’s all IG’s fault too! You get some free seeds and suddenly you want to try and share everything!
Anyway, rant/ramble off. I’d like to thank the OG community for making me a seedaholic
P.S. Anyone have any Slurricane, Moonbow, or Dosibow? Also looking for Lemon tree (cut or seed) as well as anything from Compound, Bog, Bodhi, Capulator, and third coast? 
obviously when a 5 pack of Reg or a 3 pack of Fem are only $10.
of the plant.
It has been for quite some time.
just making sure expectations and reality are dancing to the same tune
