I can see your point but as I said using their work would be a compliment not a slap in the face. In my opinion if I buy some gear I shouldn’t need a permission slip or have to shout out the original breeder for making crosses using that strain. I would still do it out of respect, but I shouldnt have to if I paid money I worked for to acquire it. Not to mention Rado basically did give them a shout out by not saying grape pie is cherry pie x sour grapes but cherry pie x grape stomper so in a way that is giving the original breeder of grape stomper his due credit. Like I said though, the way gage green treats people especially other breeders I personally wouldn’t spend a dime on their gear. Not saying that their gear is trash and no one else should buy their gear, they’ve definitely made some fire strains throughout the years. I’m just not a big fan of people that think and treat people like they’re better than them. We were all created equally, we’re still individuals and still have our own strengths and weaknesses but everyone should be treated with the same dignity and respect as the next person. That’s just my opinion, and I feel like if the people in the cannabis community especially the ones that have a done a lot of amazing work should stick together because the community could achieve so many more great things. Instead of just bickering and throwing shade at people for using their old gear. I mean so many strains were made using other peoples old gear like Chemdog for example and I don’t see him throwing shade at anyone.
