I'm pretty sure its seeds, considering the price for the Rainbow belts.
Looks like you’re right
Mountain Apple just dropped for $150 like it says in the screenshot
the other 2 haven’t been released yet
was gonna grab the Mountain Apple but I think im done buying Archive gear
not fucking with any breeder who thinks its cool to sell $500 packs

My wife bought me a pack of 10 Chemdozer regular seeds. She paid $275 (rec price) for the pack. This run, I included 4 Chemdozer seeds in the germination. Two of those were duds. The other two that did pop were females. They were supposed to be a 65-75 day strain but I'm coming up on week #14 and it's still not quite where I want it. It smells like creosote, Vick's vapor rub and 1970's era sun tanning lotion...but, somehow, in a good way! I'm trying to let it go as long as possible.
I agree that the Archive prices are too high. However, I imagine the return on investment will still be better than buying weed in the store. If the genetics' lineage is legit, then I'm trying to get back to some of the old school flavors. The Chemdozer has Chem 91 in it.....and everyone knows the Chemdog story.
Their Ginger Tea strain has Thai in its lineage, so I might have a go at that one if it's still around. The Expedition line has some possibilities, too.

... the expectations I would have for a $500 pack would be to the moon.
I grabbed 6 packs of that Forum Cookies x Dosi #18, I'll ride the "old" hype that new new is too much for me lol.
I imagine most folks buying those packs have a warehouse room dedicated to hunting. So $500 to that guy isn't shit.

Totally
If you're in business then a few $500 packs ain't shit, same if you bought a $5k clone. You should be able to easily recoup money.

Hell last time I checked these seeds don't grow themselves 
Return on investment depends on your abilities to get the most from a plant.
The fact that so many hype strains have come from bag seed tells me it's all a load of bologne. I understand breeders work certain lines, but hell, we all work. Best plant ive grown so far was a freebie

Archive's packs come with 12 and Chemdozer is 225 so I think maybe you should check where they came from? If you don't like someone's offering or their prices, you can always sit on the bench. Not sure why everyone thinks their opinion means something. You can buy $200-500 packs of femmed untested in house or lit farms gear if you like. If it's not for you, then why comment?

Worthless opinion from a nobody: Junior Mints...meh. Not much flavor, smooth smoke, hybrid high. Good yield. All four had herm parts, two were enough that I tossed them out whole in early flower. The other two I missed a couple little male flowers that luckily didn't seed anything. Samoas too but I expected that given the cookie genetics in both of those. Made my hunnit dollas back already so not worried about it. I'll make my hunnit back from Casper too that's finishing. Probably ain't getting from archive again. Especially not three bill packs

What exactly are forums for if not expressing ones opinion?
When I started growing $200 for a seed pack received complaints. Now seed packs are going for over double that, from the original breeders? I'm sorry no reason for that. Artificial scarcity is why these seeds reach the #'s they are reaching.
I can respect the hustle, I just won't be the mark. This shits going the way of commercial AG and if these breeders don't cash in big now there's going to be nothing left. We got maybe 5 years before there's fields of seed crop being sold at $3 a pack at Homedepot.

Hell ain't nobody anybody Some people act like they invented the plant 
Nobody on earth was born knowing anything other than how to cry and use the bathroom on themselves. Knowledge is a collective that has been shared since the beginning of time. Plenty of people cash in off the backs of those before them. Until someone can sell me a seed and tell me exactly how that plant will grow, look, taste, and smell, with 0 variation, I'm not gonna be overly impressed. We're working with a plant, that can exhibit thousands of different expressions, and we're throwing them together hoping for something similar. I grew a plant from a breeder who said none of his strains were fruity, all gas. Guess what, I got strawberry, grape, and melon from the same strain 
And out of 10-15 plants, no gas. It was still fire, but the quality of your flower has just as much to do with properly growing as it does "good genetics". A $500 pack of seeds isnt gonna produce shit if its thrown in soil with no nutrients under a shitty light. Regardless of how good a breeder is, they aren't capable of "creating" genetics, only breeding ones they like in hopes of creating something good.

You can read....maybe...right? Yeah..and also...check Archive's recreational pricing. $225 is the medical price. I'm not a medical "patient" and neither is my wife (who bought me the seeds for a b-day present). And she bought them directly from the Archive dispensary....Do you want the address? And she doesn't care if the price is $200 or $400 or whatever the price is, if she wants to buy me a present....adult stuff, ya know? I guess you're wrong for thinking that you know what you're talking about....You don't.

Every pheno of my Rainbow Belts 2.0 is fire. Got 8 or so females all getting another run. Lip smacking candy flavor, great buzz on all of them. Love the terps although not what I'd call loud compared to some of the other girls I run but man that flavor down to the last hit of the joint. First run flew off the shelves and everyone wants more.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending this line. Toughest part for me now is gonna be choosing a keeper.

i'm really glad to hear this review.
I got a pack of the belts 2.0 regular on the restock, really looking forward to running that pack.
First up is to do a seed increase with the pack to justify the high purchase price.
From the description on the site, i'm looking for candidates to use in a recreational cultivation for a state license.
looking for the taste and it lasting all the way to the end of a smoke.
picked up some of the expedition series just to see what i get.

I do love that Archive released the Expedition Line, they are priced right, and you know there will be some fire in there
