Is there anyone selling bulk Mexican bagseed online?

I would really like to grow out some Mexican or South American sativa bagseed, except the only sources I have for pot are locally-grown sensi. Is there anyone selling schwag bagseed online? I realize that seedbanks probably aren't doing this, but is there an auction site where I might find them? I grew out some bagseed like 9 years ago and it was a beautiful sativa that I didn't let finish. Now I'm older and have more patience, so I really wish I could have a do-over. Here's a photo of the bagseed plant I grew in 2003:

That's the type of plant I'm hoping to try for a nice scrog grow, except I'd like to have a bunch of seeds to pick among so I can try to get a pheno I like.

I realize this might be an unusual request, but I'm just curious if there is anywhere I could buy something like that.

I realize that is one option, but I prefer to not buy from some stranger on the street. Since I'm an attorney, I realize that's how most people get busted. I just was hoping someone was selling Mexican or Central/South American landrace (insofar as they would be landrace at this point) seeds. It seems that breeders might be interested in that genetic stock, so I was hoping there was at least a niche market for it.

no,no nch market i also have looked, but im young and i know what to look for when buying weed on the streets and have a fair collection of bagseed.

at one time i had so many bagseed i would have gave you a lb of them. if you cant hit the streets find a young guy your cool with and have him buy the weed for and smoke it with him, or collect the seeds and give the weed to him.

I can't picture many people marketing "Mexican bag seed", for the simple reason that most people who smoke throw away hundreds, if not thousands, of bag seeds a year. That's not to say you can't find the same, if not very similar, seeds online - just no one is going to market them as "Mexican commercial"

Unfortunately that's been crossed with other genetics. From the description:

The main ancestor and parent of the Mexican Sativa seed-strain is a prized cultivar from the southern province of Oaxaca. To adapt this exotic Sativa for flowering in the northern summer, it was infused with genes from Durban - the famously hardy African Sativa - as well as from a fast-flowering Pakistani hash plant.

I was able to find this online, which is a lot closer to what I'm looking for, though it's a little pricier than I was hoping for the number of seeds in the pack:

I've never bought from anywhere other than reputable seedbanks, so I'm not sure how safe it is to do so without LEO looking over my (digital, metaphorical) shoulder.

No one is going to sell schwag bag seeds and stay in business. Those seeds are too unstable and hermie prone.

Normally you're going to get a male or female plant from a seed, but with schwag you will get male, female, or hermie. So your chances of getting a female plant goes from 50% to 33% at best.
Now out of the female plants that you do get from those seeds only about one out of every six will be a mediocre to decent pheno.
With one of out three being female and one out of six of those being a decent pheno you will have to grow out 18+ seeds to get a decent pheno. And you would still have to deal with all the males and hermies in the garden.
If it takes 18+ seeds to find a decent pheno then how many seeds would it take to find a keeper pheno?
And this doesn't even take into consideration the number of seeds that won't germinate, die early on, are a mutant, etc.


You can find landrace strains from seedbanks and their strains will be more stable which means it will save you a lot of time and work (months to years of work).

Landrace strains more prone to hermie than the crossed and selfed mutts you buy from a seedbank?

Bitch please.

Even if you went to Mexico or Columbia and procured some real deal landrace seeds, you're gonna need to hybridize them.

HUGE plants with 12-16 week long flowering periods would be a real bitch to grow!

Well actually I'd like to try to scrog a plant like that, and I don't mind a really long flowering period. I enjoy taking care of the plants and even a low-producing, long-flowering strain would be more than sufficient for my consumption (which is pretty minimal). This isn't a commercial operation, it's strictly for my own consumption.So, no, I don't want it hybridized.

Its a shame we have to be so careful. I would love to trade seeds with people, like people are doing on the gardenweb forums with hairloom tomatoes, but its to risky with cannabis.

I ran Panama Red from ACE and was real happy with it. One pheno was dense and the others airy and light, so low yield. Taste and high was like better South American I smoked in 70's.

I vegged them 7 weeks and they flowered 12-15 weeks for different phenos. 18 inches tall at harvest but I used LED so that might have kept them short. Get a reptile bulb and blast them with some uvb during flower to give a little bit of fake equator sun intensity to them.

ACE and Cannabiogen have a bunch of landrace genetics to sort though, they are related seed banks. These are worked landrace seeds and stable unlike some bagseed you would try.

Not really what you get from mexican bag seed is bad genetics as they do not cull out bad genes and such they just threough seed from previous crops down and hope its not to hermie.
