I didn't even know that there is an Archive direct. Thanks for the heads up.
The Archive website is terrible. I never thought that you could buy direct either, then I went digging a bit. It seems that from the main website you can connect to the Portland shop and also to Leafly where they list the seeds in stock and the prices. Not sure if the Portland shop shops orders out or if you have to visit in person. Not a lot of information on the website unless I missed something.

You would think that with the gear that Archive has, along with the storefront, the online presence would be comparable, but it's not. Prices are decent so if the shop shops then I may explore this option, prices are decent.

I haven't went up there yet but I believe you have to actually go to the shop there in Portland to buy anything. No shipping things out, I believe it is part of the state laws here in OR.

That would make comlete sense and also explain why it seems that the website is lacking. There really isnt a need to turn it into more than it is and have an online component.

After curing her for 3 weeks here is the finished product of the Gelato 33 x Dosidos. Bag appeal leaves a bit to be desired but nugs are rock hard and smell amazing. Smell is very cookie dominant. Smoke is super smooth no cookie taste, all creamy, milky, vanilla ice cream taste. And the best part is the potency! She will destroy you! She’s probably one of the top three strongest buds I’ve grown.

To be fair , it’s IHG that did the knocking off by taking archives biggest strain and crossing it to a pretty common cut. I feel like the 60$ price tag is a sort of much middle finger to all the “breeders” who have been chucking his work the last few years. Especially after all the trash Thadocto has talked about punch on IG. The fem lines are hilarious to me, though. I almost feel like they are an elaborate troll or social commentary.

cheers, my thinking is that its already a proven good cross & Archive will have probably the best Dosidos to cross with too, and being regs suit my chucking aspirations, im sure there are lots of politics in this release as mentioned above..

I dunno, it depends on where IHG got the DosiDos. If they just popped a pack and picked the best female then you're probably right. However, if their DosiDos is an "elite" that has surfaced in the community as being really exceptional then I'd put my money on IHG. With males you can't directly observe the female traits, the ones you're really interested in. The only way to really pick a male from several would be to compare their progeny. Pretty much nobody does that because it takes too long and too much space. Even if ThaDocta was doing that he's probably not selecting from as many plants as a circulating elite has been selected from. Everyone knows breeding is a numbers game, that's why ThaDocta shits on "tent breeders."

No reason you can't chuck with fems. Unless you think what IHG is doing is not chucking, LOL. It's much better than farting around with stem rubbing.
