yeah exactly, price should be defined by demand and effort it takes to make such strains. and I don't think the demand and effort matches up to make it cost over 10 bucks a seed, but that's just me.

I"m not saying they should be free, but for christ sake, cbd strains only show high cbd in a low number of phenotypes, by that logic the price per seed should be cheaper so people can actually have a decent chance of running into a CBD pheno without incredible luck or a lot of money......

I've been preaching about the U.F.O. freebies for a while now, check out the "Regular" button to see the reg U.F.O.'s... they're even better!! Right now the regular freebies include: Lambo (TH Seeds), L.A. Confidential, Sage, Heavy Duty Fruity, S.A.G.E. & Darkstar, where as the feminized are: OG Kush (Reserva Privada), Thunder Bloody Mary (Samsara), Mazar X Great White Shark (World of Seeds) and the rest are from Humboldt Seed Organisation (:(). Plus on the regular side, you get 2 seeds instead of 1 fem- so even if both reg's turn out to be males... you may find a decent stud. I really wish it were possible for a seed bank to actually sell pollen, it would make life soo much easier for many people. Just think of the badassery that would entail! It would be too hard though, I'm pretty sure pollen only lives for a few days after it's released.

...I may indeed change my Indian name to "gets stoned and rants about things that are merely his own opinion."

Yeah, pollen is sensitive. You can store it refrigerated in a dry pouch (use silica or something to keep it dry) for a while, but I don't think it lasts much beyond a few weeks. Maybe if you had cryogenic chambers or something.

How much CBD-potent weed can you buy with 10 bucks? a couple joints at most? The only way you're going to get any decent seed for less than $10 is if you buy a pack of seeds or catcha deal, you're not going to find any good seeds for to much less than that. Any heavy Indica should produce the effects that you desire from the cannabidiol. Even if you were looking for a 'high CBD pheno' how would you even know you had one? I mean all traits only show up in some phenotypes, even true-breeding characteristics are not 100%. I think a seeds worth can really only be decided buy the buyer; I think that some seeds are worth more than $10, or even $20- it's just not an easy market to thrive in, especially considering it's varying legality/persecution. The cheaper companies usually make seeds that are worth the price but if you skip the feminized stuff and buy some regular seeds then you can get very good genetics for UNDER $10. Rare Dankness 10 packs= $87, HAZEMAN seeds are $52 a 10-pack and many people hold them in very high regards. That's the price of a joint for a seed that can grow you ounces. What more could you ask for? CBD is common, I know the high concentration phenos are rare, but that's just the thing- rarity adds to the value of pretty much anything.

Contradictory, yes. I mean you don't see feminized seeds for much cheaper but regular seeds offer more options and are usually way cheaper because of the feminized seeds trend. I didn't mean to sound like an asshole, my bad.

I concur. I haven't been able to make pollen last longer than a few weeks, keeping it as dry as possible... guess that's where I greatly appreciate the ability to grow indoors whilst growing outdoors.

either that or a greenhouse setup for males.

hardest thing about keeping pollen is moisture .perhaps silica packs or something along those lines will help.EDIT seems someone already said this damn this thread moves fast.

aye. I did everything in my power to keep humidity away from my pollen and I live in a high desert, yet my pollen doesn't seem to last longer than a month. I figure temperature must have something to do with this as well, I never liked freezing because of the moisture in a freezer. though if the jar is sealed enough it should be ideal. idk, i'd rather just have fresh pollen personally.

The colder the temperature, the slower the life cycle progresses so I guess freezing would keep it for the longest. 2 months is the longest I've ever heard of now I think.

Lol, does everybody really care what breeder everybody else is going to? ...I'm not huge on feminized seeds myself, but there's many non-growing type who love the Dinafem smoke- from several of their strains... if you're going to go for feminized seeds, though, then Dinafem isn't a bad choice, IMO. Connoiseur genetics, Hazeman, Ace Seeds, Mandala, half of OG Raskal strains, The Cali Connection, Serious Seeds and Soma, to name a few, are all very good breeders that also offer feminized seeds.

...not my cup of tea, but I have grown Dinafem and they were everything they said they'd be, exactly. I really do not think somebody is sad/pathetic for talking about the stuff they like, even if you know of something better then you should offer them advice, not rip on 'em. That's cold blooded Wheezy, lol.

you should know by now, that I fuck with people on a reg basis....don't get your panties wadded up!

I actually have grown several Dinafem freebies out now, and I did get 1 pheno of Critical+ that was pretty damn good ;-)

I've got some outside that are just about finished, they were the fastest thing I've put outside but they started the last so they're right on time with everything else. This one, her yield alone makes it worth it IMO.
