So....have you grown any of they crosses?

Nope I have not run one of their crosses. I did just spend 100+ on a pack of Starlet Kush though. I would have never got a chance at those if it wasn't for @akhiymjames being such a stand up guy.

I shouldn't really have to go into what they don't keep around, they have 84 strains listed on Choice Seed Bank with only 17 in stock. They're like Bodhi in this regard, lots of limited crosses. If you snooze you lose.

Sorry, I should have said 30% not 40. The usual price difference between Bodhi and GGG is 20-30 dollars depending on the source.

That's a lot more clearly posted...

So,the price of the seeds is what it sounds like you don't like

Most of them crosses that are out of stock,have been put to use in other crosses..like bodhi,and many other breeders..

No actually their price isn't bad, when they start asking 150+ for a pack is when I start to get annoyed about prices. I have no problem paying a hundred bucks for some quality genetics.

What I was really trying to point out is that GGG markets themselves as a brand that provides medicinal marijuana on a "consistent basis" but like Sativied pointed out, they're limited release strains and in a couple years it will be hard for a patient to get that same strain that helped them. Which means that patient won't be able to get that medicinal strain on a consistent basis.

Also, the most common diagnosis used to get a MMJ card in my state and I believe others, is chronic pain, which means there aren't too many available strains offered by GGG that would help a large portion of the medical community (going off their descriptions.)

I'm not bashing GGG quality in any way, just pointing out that it seems a lot of these complaints people are aiming at Bodhi could be applied to a lot of breeders or "pollen chuckers" (as Sativied calls them) who charge people more than Bodhi, while claiming they're doing it for the medical community.

And what marijuana breeder grows millions of plants at once? I just posted an email from Mike J from Peak Seeds that explains what I'm talking about. The basic wal-martizing of the weed industry.

Again:
From: "Peak" <[email protected]>
Date: March 27, 2015 at 10:16:42 AM PDT
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Subject: Greetings from MikeJ at PeakSeedsBC.
I'm appealing to my best customers for just a bit of help in
raising my profile.

Recently, I was approached by a reputable seed distributor.
Pretty good guy, he explained how things work. Apparently, the way
it is done is, the breeders pay the magazines and websites, which
are owned by the seedbanks, for good exposure and cup winnings. The
seedbanks in turn sell the breeders strains and everyone makes a
lot of money. He offered me a pretty good deal to take all I could
produce, and my strains would be sold at the major seedbanks in the
$60-$100 price range. I'll admit that there was some appeal to just
being able to focus on breeding and production. But, I've got good
regular customers, my order processing and customer service down
pretty good and I have never believed that those prices were
reasonable, so I politely declined. Independent has always been my
way.

The competition is fierce though. Between the out and out
scammers muddying the waters, the bogus cup winners and the high
profile banks offering a variety of payment options, it's hard to
get any attention out there. I rely solely on good word-of-mouth
for business.

This is where I'm going to ask for a little help from you. Any
mention out there in the world wide web helps a lot. There are two
sites that I'm listed on with a few good reports but I could use
more. If you could, please got to one or both of these sites and
put in a good word for me.
www.bestseedbank.com/peak-seeds/
www.seedbankreview.com/peak-seeds/

Also if you are a member of any forums, any mention at all goes a
long way. Please spread the word in any way possible. Don't be
afraid to point out any exposure you give me, to me. I like to show
my appreciation.

Thank you, let me know if I can help you in any way and if all
you do is continue to give me your business, that is appreciated
too. MikeJ

I'm not sure what your point here is. I understand there is synergy between the seed banks and magazines. My original point was that preservation of original genetics is important so we can recreate old lines. You suggested this wasn't realistic and used humans as an example. Humans are a bad example and it is indeed very possible.

I think we all understand that growing millions of plants isn't realistic right now. That does mean it will never be realistic. Commercial breeding programs grow millions and millions of plants out to find what they are looking for (tomatoes etc). It also means that preservation of the original landraces (and others that have since been line bred and have had good results) is the most realistic work breeders can do today for future breeders tomorrow... It only takes a small # of seeds (around 30 statistically) to successfully preserve the entire genome.

"*OUR MISSION* is to provide outstanding quality cannabis to medical marijuana patients on a consistent basis."

I think it's word play.....

The flowers from these plants,has the ability to help anybody,in one way or another...
If a med patients finds that one plant,that helps...is it not best to keep it as a clone?
Or have someone grow it for them?

Just trying to understand.

I don't think it's very realistic to expect people to keep clones alive to keep their medicinal supply going. It can be a challenging proposition even for the best of us. Just look at Bodhi losing his fathers.

But this is partly a problem with the legality. It is a problem with philosophy for some too.

It is outstanding quality. It absolute y isn't shitty quality.

What exactly is your problem?

If you think clones are better, get clones, if all seeds were stable you wouldn't need clones.

Cannabis is medicine and both gage and bodhi provide high quality genetics to people across the US that have no access to clones.

I'm sure they do provide outstanding quality cannabis to medical marijuana patients, while ignoring a large portion of medical marijuana patients.

Here are the available strains from Choice and their effect descriptions:

All Blues - soothing and relaxing

Aloha Grape Stomper - Healing, clear sativa

Aspirare - Creative, uplifting

Colombian Black - No effect description, pheno hunt pack, Sativa Dominant

Afghan Haze - No effect description, Sativa dominant

Blue Flame - Another Haze based line

Blue In Green - Another Haze based line

Classic Twist - "Day time medicine"

Giant Steps - Creative,Functional

Healing Fields - Increased "mental knowledge" (great a strain that makes people smarter...) "artistry", "pushes physical pain"

High Flyer - Soaring, energetic

Mindscape - "artistry enhancer"

Miss Colombia - No effect description, landrace Sativa cross

Orange Juice - No effect description

Shadowdancer - Sativa dominant hybrid, no effect description

Sugartown Express - No effect description

White Buzz - Invigorates social mood and artistry

I count three, maybe four of their seventeen available strains that are marketed towards medical patients with chronic pain, insomnia or stomach issues. For a breeder that markets themselves as providing quality cannabis to medical patients, I would expect a little more balance to their strain offerings.

It really isn't crazy. There are so many 'cloning problem' threads out there. And the offspring of these seeds tend to be so variable that you might have to grow out 20 plants or more to find the one that really helps.

These issues have so much more to do with legality than anything else though.

Like I said in that post,almost any cross,from any breeder can help with most of what you just said......it's hard to tell someone what they will find out of poly seeds...

Is it to much marketing,or not enough?
