N'Specta's CSI: Humboldt (fems) and Pirates of the Emerald Triangle (regs) sells direct now. Same day turnaround IME.

I ordered two packs of CSIH and got a free 3-pack of PotET '79 X-Mas Bud IBL plus two 3-packs of CSIH fems.

Awesome, I've been meaning to try his site out. I think your experience just made them a sale, I'm itching to order from them now. Stay groovy brother

I’m going to message a few of the ones I’ve dealt with but a lot of them don’t push for publicity they make enough working legally w/ dispensaries and clubs they don’t need the headache and risk. Just want to make sure they’re okay going up here. I know a lot more just deal w/ anybody. I won’t list any IG breeder I don’t highly recommend. I once got 100 seeds for 100$ and on the opposite I’ve paid more then 500$ for a single pack but I always do massive amounts of research.

IG sellers have to stay on the down low because IG/Facebook doesn't want them and they get kicked off the site.

Based on my experience shopping in legal states, there is very little money in seed sales in legal states. Most stores/dispensaries do not bother carrying seeds or clones because they make no money relative to the space and stocking effort (and clones are perishable.) Most legal state growers seem to prefer buying proven clones instead of seeds that have to be hunted. My guess is the vast majority of seed bank sales are to people in illegal states who have no other way of getting those genetics.

As legalization spreads, the market is going to dry up for chuckers that do little more than get the genetics out to where they are needed. That's 90% of all breeders. As always, Sturgeon's law applies.

I agree I have post where I talk about how saturated the market is for seed vendors. It’s going to move to lab testing, tissue cultures, Phylos/ or gene charting lineage. I already see it happening where I live. As far as the chucker thing goes, sure a few of them with the proper application of time could make excellent breeders. The market does feel like it’s shifting from growers wanting big name crosses to provably worked lines and as you said stable clones backed by lab reports. Still there’s a lot of talk about chuckers giving deals “we are the people” but for me you can pull 2000 seeds on the low side easily off a plant and when you break that down to (2000/10)x50$ (50$ is the low side too) that’s 10000 and you can do that with a single 1000 watt easily (Can’t imagine what a 10’ pollinated female would do ourdoors). I have a thread where I talk about out of state patients being able to buy clones in legal states as well. That’s why this post say “Breeders”. When you’re out of state you want as much legitimacy as you can get as well e.g. breeder packs, cut out the middle man (bank), name brand (breeders w/ established names/trust/brands) hopefully someone can find something from this list that helps them.

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post if anyone has any positive/negative experiences with any breeder please share.

Sharing dirty cuts is responsible for the vast majority of peoples issues these days.....mites, fungal pathogens, , root aphids , etc. I will always prefer to pop seeds and find my own keepers....you get something exclusive to your garden, and avoid any dirty hitch hikers on clones. For the most part, stuff I have found from seed has been better than the majority of "elite" clone I have grown.

I like CSI Humboldt. Have grown 2 or 3 different types, Buds dogbud, and bubba kush and big bad bubba. All were top shelf.

But while looking at their inventory, came upon this
The most expensive seeds I have seen. 7 seeds. I will pass.

That’s a great idea for a thread . The breeder w/the “MOST EXPENSIVE PACK”(non auction ) available now .I would be interested in who and the strain . 5 hundo can’t be the record .

Side bar : to zero fault of your own a 500 hermed on ya ,” THE HORROR !”
