Please don’t flame me. Genuinely asking. What makes Thug Pug worth 300+ a pack? Obviously the only answer is “what the customer is willing to pay” and that’s fine, understandable. I thought 5 dollar seeds each and 20 dollar seeds each were equal, and in my experience... the 20 dollar seeds are indeeed frostier and stankier. All good. But when we get into.... 30,40 a seed.... is thug THAT good? I’m asking because I want to try to run “the best of the best”.

again, I and many others have turned a cheap seed into an amazing plant. That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking if I drop 300 plus on a pack of Thug, are the chances very high it will be the best ever? Or? I consider myself a decent grower. Again please no hate. I run ethos and inhouse, useful seeds. Buy clones. I’m not opposed to the price. Just want to know it’s thunderrrr. Thanks fam. Hope everyone’s having a good day.

Depends whats u mean exactly (like are we comparing a 300 thugpack to 300 worth of rado/clesrwater etc type packs..or 5packs of mr nice or some rando off ig/eurojunk?)..and what strain of thug.

Every pack of thug ive grown or my buddies..i/they always had multiple keepers to choose from. Id say its the high keeper hit ratio that makes it more hype..and worth the pricetag? Maybe thats just me.

Ive grown rado..great stuff..great prices..but imo chances at finding a keeper isnt as common(maybe not right word..and not saying its not possible)..but in a one pack standoff of rado and thug..my money is on the thug. My only gripe is studly (which would be the pricier packs) is very dom..so even tho theres variation..i find from pack to pac of thug you can see phenos from dif strains resemble eachother remarkably..to the point that u think u mislabeled.
Also..as of late not a fan of gromers hype induced inflation..i have zero interest in spending any more money on any thug collab. Much rather rado / clearwater till they skyrocket and inflate.

Ran 1 pack of black cherry breath
8 ladies all were nice but 5 were keeper status.

Just my opinion.

I jump on breeders before hype prices and all the crazieness.

You are comparing it wrong though. Thug Pug didn't cost $300, they cost $80 for a pack. He retired and then the prices skyrocketed. The people who have been hyping him up mostly bought their packs for $80 and the quality is amazing for that price. Once you start getting into the upper price area there are a ton of quality options though and you may not find that Thug Pug is "the best of the best" like you are looking for depending on the strain. There are a lot of great breeders and if you are going to spend that much I would research a specific Thug Pug strain that you want or you might be disappointed. Some of his strains I've tried you would probably think are worth the hype price, some you wouldn't.

Very reasonable answer. Thank you for this information friend. I may look into a clone of thug pug, quicker than I look for a pack. I don’t have space knowledge time or legality to “pheno hunt” so I prefer to find something worked, f2,f3, or let someone else pheno hunt. As fun as it sounds to do. Just not up my alley. Have a good day. Enjoy y’all’s thug pug. Pop back in with a clone one day hopefully :)

Basically their not worth that. Most of us scooped packs for $80, that's what they were going for even up to late spring early summer of last year. Now that gromer announced retirement because of a back surgery and all the bank are pretty much sold out of stock. Any left over is prices went up and sold at high numbers by banks and people that had packs. I remember Oregon elite had like 200 packs of peanut butter breath left last summer at $80, I was thinking of buying like 50 but thought nah no one will buy these. I was wrong. I would say the mendobreath gromer(breeder of thug pug) uses as his male is the magic in his crosses.

Dude the uni poop looks fire but ya fuck a 12 week flower, screw the noise.

Dude the queen sugar is fuego and Carl shoes as well, Carl's shoes is exactly the strain I'm looking for. You and I grow similary, I want to get back to strains that are absolute fire and always hitting 8+ zips per 5 gal in flower. Some of the gelato crosses I've been running sometimes are hit or miss with the yields.
