$25 before or after tax? After tax wouldn't be terrible, still to high once you've grown your own.totally bro, dispensaries around here want 25$ an eighth for decent bud that I can grow better than easily. They all about business and tourists that get high as hell off mids.
Exactly. And breeders know that's why we justify the prices.I think thas how we all justify it
but you cant say 35$ for a single.bean isnt retarded
I will coment no more on this
This is true, BUT it still doesn't take away from the fact that a pollinated female will easily produce 5,000+ seeds. At $10 a pop that's $50,000 from ONE plant. Considering that these plants are not worked, and we're buying F1 hybrids it seems to me that these breeders are fleecing the consumer.Genetics cost money, and it's an internationally restricted and risky business. Be cheaper and more competitive in a legal market, plus better genetics could enter the market place.
I figure unless I buy something utter shit, one female pays for the whole pack.
Oh I agree with you but let's think about it for a second. A breeder somewhere unless they are in Spain or another legal area, has to send seeds that may get intercepted to a distributor.Exactly. And breeders know that's why we justify the prices.

How much does it really cost to pollinate a plant? Quite the racket they have going on IMO
True, but now we see places like NGR, California seed bank, Great Lakes genetics, dispensaries, etc all carrying American breeders. I don't see any big price breaks from these domestic seed banks where the threat of seized shipments doesn't exist.Oh I agree with you but let's think about it for a second.

The middleman/seedbank has to get their cut of the action which I'm guessing is at least 100% markup, perhaps less though. Then they need to ship these beans mostly to illegal countries. Which results in beans being snagged by authorities. I'd be interested to know how many reshipmemts there are as well as how many people get insurance.
Illegality is the primary cost inflator.
Technically they are breaking the law sending beans through the mail. It's a small risk, but one that could have their freedom taken away.True, but now we see places like NGR, California seed bank, Great Lakes genetics, dispensaries, etc all carrying American breeders.

So even factoring in a 100% mark up, they're still pulling in a minimum of $25,000 per plant.
I could see that kind of money being justified if there were years of working a line to F5 or more, but there isn't. These guys release more flavors in a year than Baskin Robbins.
It'll be interesting to see how things change. Gen is right in saying that if you find a winner $100 is WELL worth the price x10. The problem is that I haven't found too many winners. Maybe my standards are too high??Technically they are breaking the law sending beans through the mail. It's a small risk, but one that could have their freedom taken away.
I agree the prices are high. In a legal landscape I'd expect them to me much more lower.

I dunno. It's like a fucking disease though. As much as I like to bitch about it, I'm the first one standing in line for a good promo.
These are all good points. I tossed some Phantom Cookies pollen on clone donors of PC, solos stash, chuckys bride, and fat grape cheese, and have probably 30 viable beans of each. That I'll likely never use, either, but if I'd made hundreds of each, that's 4 strains built off a Phantom Cookies male. Lots of companies make tons of cash selling much inferior products, I'm sure.True, but now we see places like NGR, California seed bank, Great Lakes genetics, dispensaries, etc all carrying American breeders.

I think risk is the biggest factor in determining price. I can't see over head being all that much. They don't have to carry much of a staff considering that almost all of the testing is done by growers that aren't on their payroll.All of what's been said sounds very true....
But how big is the one plant that is making seeds? & with today's market we see multiple bean drops by any said breeder,so that would mean at least 1-3 males may be used.
On let say 6 females,that's a lot of space/light..everything must be separate I would think?
After tax pretty good price , its my primary caregiver and they have some very good buds https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/altitude-organic-medicine?c=main here's their weedmaps$25 before or after tax? After tax wouldn't be terrible, still to high once you've grown your own.
And I can certainly agree about growing better than what's in most shops.
Cant speak for every one else but I been ilegal for a good bit lol just sayinTechnically they are breaking the law sending beans through the mail. It's a small risk, but one that could have their freedom taken away.

Illegal just means higher value due to risk. I prefer to eliminate risks where I can hence why I'm legalCant speak for every one else but I been ilegal for a good bit lol just sayin
Ya know what I meantBeing legal wasnt a real option till a short time ago for me
and technically its ALL illegal federally(edit ) in the usa that is
