Would I buy Smellboat seeds? No. I also won’t buy TopDawg or Archive or Aficionado. There’s way too many breeders out there with great stuff to spend >$200 on a pack IMO. Maybe someday I’ll decide to splurge on these breeders, but that day isn’t coming soon.
My point is, at least with Smellboat, TopDawg and Archive, they have a great rep. They produce high quality stuff for a high price. You’re paying out the ass, but you’ll definitely find some keepers.
I have trouble finding anyone who says anything good about Riot’s genetics.
So if the demand isn’t there, then why are his prices so high? It’s to create the illusion that he has elite stuff.
