Its pricey if the phenos aint there if it is still there tho it be worth it and this is coming from me i hate expensive seeds as i aint found price always correlates with quality in my experience plus hybrid seeds should never cost what 99% of folks sell it for imo and i may have seen that thread on icmag you talking about i cant be sure il need to take a look later and see
I learned that high priced "hype" seeds are hardly ever worth it because of sensi's jack herer.
Back in 2003-4 it was all the rage in high times as a cup winner etc. Sensi was charging $320 or $360 for a 10 bean pack of regs. My buddy who couldn't grow for shit wanted to "show" me up with them top dollar seeds.
He started the jack same time I started a $25 pack of top 44 by nirvana.
My keeper top 44 blew his keeper jack out of the water. 44 was better buzz, candy fruity terps and quick flowerer.
The jack tasted like pepper, super harsh on the throat, long flowerer and buzz was a anxiety inducing buzz.
I gave my buddy so much shit over that, and thseeds the hog too. He spent $280 on those and didn't get anything worth it.
