Aussie Growers Thread

['ome Grown]

like their are ppl growing their own strains for medical purposes in australia, but thats only because when their stuffs tested by police it comes back as legal because it contains high levels of THCV.

WOW. Have never heard of this. So there are strains out there that have high THCV that are legal?

I'll grow some plants for some medicinal users!

an aussie seedbank just isnt doable. its against the law u just couldnt make it available to everyone without being shut down. unless u want to move to nimbin. i know when i was young i drove 8 hrs to nimbin then 8 hrs back just to get seeds. i was in nimbin for a total of 10 mins lol. i walked straight into a store which shall remain nameless and asked over the counter. a drawer was promptly taken out from under the counter and i was sold some sweet tooth seeds. im guessing probably grown in aus from plants that were originally from barneys or something like that as it was about the time that barneys sweet tooth was winning htcc every yr. i also bought a hoodie a bong and a 1/4 oz off this store now thats service lol. gotta love nimbin. havnt been there in yrs i hope its still the same

also it would be way to hard to have an aussie seedbank. we are like the pussy country. we have banned like every plant that does something to our mind or body. we are the only country to ban salvia in the world. we were built on a hemp empire, yet we took the american way of banning it. i can see maybe legalisation where the government gains, but no seedbanks. like their are ppl growing their own strains for medical purposes in australia, but thats only because when their stuffs tested by police it comes back as legal because it contains high levels of THCV.

I'm calling bullshit on this one mate...

Maybe the only way to get away with it locally is if no one actually says its local... Like pay an overseas company and website but the seeds rock up in a couple of days... wtf..?

 

[Miyagi]

And Miyagi San's whiskers rip you out, not the other way around

 

[Shannon Alexander]

surely you'd be able to have the web site hosted in papua new guine or someplace with lax laws on internet sites and set up a bank account in Switzerland etc...

The seeds would have to be locally grown tho... I'm sure customs would crack down hard on a bulk order of seeds to stock the shop...

 

[forgetiwashere]

maybe seed bay or something. but you still have to have a seed farm and thats risky too

 

[Shannon Alexander]

If you were only selling to the Australian/ New Zealand market, making seeds you wouldn't need to have a huge seed farm, and if it was run as a collective you could have multiple people each growing a particular strain for seed... all over the country...

you may be good at the Crane move miyagi, but i will have those wiskers, off, i just sharpening my samuri, ha ha haa, as you have disgraced my master, prepare for, the drunken seedman

now we talking ,no shop or nusery,

all im saying, is if a few of us like minded folk got together, and some ones girlfriend was posting the orders outa her car boot, from different locations, off a printed purchase order, , just think of how cool it would be once set up,

youd only need a group of about 5, or 6, people trying to keep it going, so if you did get done the others would still have seed till you up n growing again,

and your seed that was taken by the cops then becomes outa stock for a while,

even if you only grew two plants at a time youd still have buckets of seed, but with out an offshore site what is the point of that

I have been thinking about his for a little while... not sure how hard or easy it would be to set up and run the site without getting tracked back to Australia tho and also I'm not sure how much of a deposit the swiss require from a foreigner to open an account etc... or how easy/hard that would be to set up...

The only thing I know about the swiss is they make knives, chocolates, watches, they helped the nazis and they speak better english than we do...

well three or four plants in a 1.2 mtr tent would give you a year or two supply of seed, IMO, for a strain or two, then just go back to growing your meds

so say you have to produce say a 1000 seeds per year to be in it, then as your seed orders come in, from the site a moderator sends you a request, you, or yo misseus sends em, to the false name, then once the grower gets them, you get the $50 bucks, or whatever price you put on the seed, from the site or resend, not bad for five seeds

send ten fools their seed perweek and thats 500 buckaroos, thanks for coming times 52 weeks a year, gives you an idea what might happen, $ 26,000

twenty orders a week, 52,000 per annum, all right allright im getting carried away, i spose the point is not the money but to put your finger up at the law, id just about do it for free, if there werent costs involved


and why cant australians have the same as the british or canadians, or yanks have, are we such pussies that for the next ten years im gonna be ordering from those Botha Boys in the UK and help them upgrade ther BmWs ever year

 

[forgetiwashere]

if you were really serious about this heres how i would run it. say u had 6 people or whatever... each person would be in charge of 1 landrace strain each. landrace strains breed true apparantly so u dont have all the trouble of f2's f3's etc being unstable. then we could offer those landraces as seeds. also we could have individual breeding proects where the person in charge of each landrace would be able to over time select stud males and females to clone and the clones could be shared between the individual growers. in this way u could constantly come up with interesting hybrid crosses and as long as the parents were tried and tested the results would be great.

oh?

I would just grab a few 5 pack fem ghs seed coloured packs. Grow them out, self em...then sell those seeds as your own 'brand name' like, sydney haze, melbourne posion etc etc

The wanna be growers will fucking love em...

You would have to be scum bags to become like ghs and steal someone elses genetics etc..but hey, I'm just thinking in my marketing hat and it makes more sense to steal a bigger known brands seeds that have several youtube videos and presence in the amsterdam scene.

So 2 x 5 fem coloured seeds = ~$80 (inc postage).
Ferts (=compost and diluted urine) = $0
Selfing agent = maybe they will self themselves since they are GHS....but the SLT or whatever shouldn't be too hard to find.

So we are talking ~$100 for ten plants producing fem seeds to sell on...

Any mistakes in my thinking?

 

[the seedman]

well i just been watching youtube about fem seed, obviously it would be easier to just grow out fem seed at first of the big name brands , then as you say eventually, get into keeping the good strong males for breading, and making our own brand of aussie crosses, once the thing is rolling, im just not a computer type, so dont ask me about servers, n firewalls n shit, but i have bread males and produced seed before, but just for myself and a few bros

having a little seed bussiness and shareing the stuff arround, sounds cool to me

well ryanme123 got sick of no pm's so a new account has been made! hey lads!

 

[forgetiwashere]

if its worth doing its worth doing right. why would u start your business on the wrong foot like that? sure its quick easy money but if you ever wanted to take it to the next level no one in the industry would respect you, hell your customers wouldnt even respect you.

if you wanted access to all the best cuts that all the big breeders have, starting out by ripping people off wouldnt be wise in my opinion. of course this is all theoretical anyway so whats it matter. but i just believe there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. the wrong way is usually easier but the right way is usually much more rewarding

looking for respect is useless, you cant make everyone happy so dont try, i just want an aussie seed bank, so most people can all have the stuff sent locally,

people want those strains i listed before, and all those seed banks wont care. where did they start from, they stole genetics too

if you watched the TH seed guy talking he said he wants people to bread from his stuff, that's the point, start out with what people r gonna buy then add to it as the site stays afloat

 

['ome Grown]

I hear you there my friend. Just had my evil cap on.

Before I remove it...start two companies. One that sells the fem seed knock offs and the other top shelf locally grown crosses etc

Just saying, in case someone out there lurking just needs something to spark inside their head.
