Yes, Having the option would be great. Having a pollen or male bank that correctly harvests and stores pollen would be awesome and solve most of the issues with pollen viability. Tissue culture allows for long term storage of plant material with minimal realestate. and yes it wouldn’t solve the...

It’s easy enough to store males. You don’t necessarily need to store pollen but that’s also possible. It’s just takes money. The reason it hasn’t been done is mostly because of a mostly illicit market and people not wanting to share their “stud males” unlike other areas of agriculture that...

yeah you just described breeding. Yes you’d still have to pheno hunt but having a database of pollen (as mentioned previously) allows for easier selection of the male. That’s the point, to save all the work with zero return similar to the race horse industry. Just because you whack champion...

Males are harder to find and yeild no gains while your hunting through them unlike females which can offset the costs of pheno hunting for a breeder.

As males are harder to find breeding wise it makes more sense to store/trade pollen than seeds. Same reason that semen is traded in the animal agriculture for things like cows and horses etc.

The current system in Australia and some of the system in other places. Good breeders don’t choose parents based on ten or less seeds. The more people condone poor breeding practices the shitter the genetic pool will become. It’s already hard enough to find something that doesn’t have a cookies...

to get anything decent you’d still need people to put in the hard yards and find decent males and females to breed with instead of just cracking a 10 pack and chucking some pollen around.

W The only issue I see is finding good males worth breeding with. Most people are just grabbing the first male that show’s host head instead of running and hunting through larger amounts trying to find the one with the best genetics/appeal like you would with females

I bet none of them know what data security is let alone know how to keep data safe on their sites.

you can’t really use reputable and Aussie seed bank in the same sentence. Some are better than others but none are reputable.

yeah na. The easiest money I’ve ever made is sitting in a truck for 9 hours a day running material a whole 2km from one end of the job to the other. I’d need 4x my current grow minimum to make the same money and it’d definitely be more work.

Sometimes you get a letter telling you your package was seized. Other times nothing.

For starters I wouldn’t hide at work

This comment right here says a lot. Also 3k can be considered cheap even for a coffee table. Some people have no issues spending 50-100k on a car where as I’d never spend more than 10k.

Lol not even. I just know what my time and product is worth. I’ve got a mate who’s a chippy. Reclaims hardwood from demos (often for free), refinishes is, turns it into a dining or coffee table and sells it for $3k+ For 8-12 hours work and <$150 in materials. Guessing he’s money hungry as...

I do feel bad. I should be charging $500 with what it’s competing with on the market.

Yeah and I’d tell my mate to try buy an oz somewhere else and come back for a sesh. I won’t be smoking what they bring back but. I real mate will pay you what your product deserves and doesn’t stand around wanting a handout. Most of mine have offered to pay more but as I said, mates rates.

yeah which is why I shit on company time so I get paid. That’s the point. If you count labour your making sweet fuck all for growing weed

It’s literally all labour.

People who want quality will pay. Also Insta idiots wanting that “Cali bud” and have no idea what actual good weed is will also pay. As I said people here are regularly paying 300+oz for wet mouldy pgr. It’s hard to impossible to get quality for less than $350. I charge anywhere from $350 for...
