Been running NL5 for a long time now, love it! I keep it going by taking clones. All are from one mother, but there are about 40 in my vegging room at the moment.

Ah man… NL2

It’s a 12 pack at least. 
I’ve never tried it, but from everything I’ve heard, it’s legit.

The Wonder strains are very piney, lots of fruit also…
I have a lot of seed from the breeder… These seeds are professionally made… Which means low numbers weren’t used in the selection process… The problem with most seed breeding, is the use of low numbers in parental selection… Which makes seed, that is generally inferior to the parents…

I’m really interested in AK’s TK x NL#5/Haze. I see he has different leaners with it.

Yeah, I agree with that sentiment.
because of deep rob’s posts on overgrow, we know the lines have been worked for a long time, and that they have preserved some lines for many years. In that sense, the price seems justified.
I still can’t afford it though. It’s not even in reach at $50 for 6 seeds.
Maybe I could afford to make such a large investment on one line if it was like 20 or more seeds for $100.
edit- here’s what I don’t get about seed sellers. I understand wanting $100 for your labor.
I don’t understand why they are so stingy with the seeds. It takes a lot of time and labor to prepare a pack of seeds, but plants tend to make plenty of seeds. The only expensive part of the process is the labor and logistics of shucking, packaging, and then marketing and selling the seeds.
As far as I can tell, it doesn’t cost the breeder any more to drop 20 or more seeds into each pack than it would to cost to pack 10.

If they’re really breeding and not just pollen chucking, you’re paying for the labor of growing the plants out, looking for parents, and testing the progeny; looking for stability and predictability. Sometimes hundreds of tester plants are grown to determine if a line is able to be released. And if it’s not, they look for another set of plants to work with.
To be perfectly fair, i think a LOT of seeds on the market today are not tested with anything other than germination rate, so in that case those are just seed makers and we can ignore them 
If they’re not tested, they should be cheap/free.

I feel that on seed prices. I can’t think of too many plant seeds that cost as much as MJ seeds. So many seed sellers out there too. I’ve got a feeling that many seed makers do one big run for seeds, then hold and sell them for years to come. When I see someone with all these lines I tend to think there’s no way they’re doing all these different runs at once, pollen contamination alone would be an issue.

A while ago I bought one northern lights fem from a sketchy seed seller for too much money.
It ended up turning into a keeper mother and I ran her 3 times. Very nice earthy smoke, early finisher, and exactly as described by the distributor. Even the picture was right.
Was she worth the ~$20US including shipping? Maybe. But I did end up with over a pound from this one seed.
This being said all seeds should be free. Every time I grow I pollinate a branch to keep and spread around. I have a cross of this NL I mention lying around. I’ve given much of it away. Everyone should do this.
Bless those who do co-ops. Bless the chuckers. Bless the distributors.
I totally forgot I have Maui wowie genes in my stable. Like I didn’t even realize. How does that even happen? Amazing.
Overgrow the planet and do it for free.
There are some great breeders that deserve support too. Some of them do great work and I would consider buying from a few of them.

Good thought in theory buddy but beans get weaker the farther up the fgen tough to come up with something as good as parent stock.
Very seldom are f2, f3 yadda yadda yadda and so on better than f1’s.
Don’t kid yourself.
Unless your happy playing second fiddle.
