Freebies are always welcomed. I run em regardless if they're fems or regs lol

What would be the option if you did not send freebies with fems? Send only with lucky lime? Wait until your upcoming regular lines? Send a coupon to redeem freebies?
I'm new here but would appreciate freebies anytime as long as they were from stable lines.

"Meaning, if folks buy fems, and get a free pack of regs.......will they just get tucked away??? "
----------------
Due to space considerations, I, for now, only order and plant fems.
When I have placed past orders with vendors I specify that if I am to get any "freebies" they should be only fems. Sometimes the vendors actually do so. Sometimes not.
So yes, any regs. I receive will be tucked away or sent to a friend.

I grow both so I'd be totally happy getting regs as freebies with fems.

Maybe have them as freebies for fem strains that aren’t moving (do you actually have any?) and regs. Or just have them as freebies for everything. If you know about the strain, you’ll want to grow it

I usually grow regular seeds but I still have a lot of regular freebies that got tucked away while all the fem or auto freebies I recieved were grown out due to convenience. I have a pack of GGG Diamonds & Dust from around 2012 still tucked away and barely started popping some Bodhi freebies I received years ago.
I can only speak for myself on this one but as one of the plant count guys who prefers fems, my three orders came with regular seeds from another breeder. I will admit ordered seeds will usually go to the front of the line for me BUT I would still welcome and grow your freebies after I had tried the ones ordered and I would certainly prefer your gear over another's

I grow either. Usually few fems so I’m guranteed some females and regulars because I prefer them. So I’d be perfectly happy with regs

Me personally, I'm not opposed to REGs (I ran a whole pack of Lucky Lime) but I understand why, the FEMs are more popular.
With preservation genetics, more experienced growers, or those with more space available (likely a mutual situation) regulars are even more enticing.
Tricky spot Useful.
I'd have to say, since the FEM seed supply is so bountiful, the REGs may be getting pushed aside by a high percentage of the casual cultivator.
Edit: That Lucky Lime is no joke. I ended up in a situation where the only "cut" I had from the one that really kicked ass, came from outdoors, and had to be euthanized due to space consideration along with an aphid infection.
I still miss her.

I buy both and have 3 strains of your regs with 21 strains in total. I usually just buy every strain you have but I missed a few of the choc d crosses lol. A lot of paid and free seeds are tucked away but I'll run them eventually. My opinion is I'd buy them even faster with your own freebie. Honestly I'd also buy them separately which would make you more money. Either way, I'm buyin.

I think for for some people giving away free regs with a Fem only purchase can be problematic but only because people are people and rarely read or pay attention. I know someone who buys seeds each year and grows a small outdoor crop to get him through the year. Works great for him and some of his friends and family as he likes a bit of varienty so usaully gets more seeds then he needs, with that in mind grows plants them all in solo cups then he gives away the ones he doesn't use in his garden. Last year he got some freebie regular seeds with his purchase but did not pay attention, his son finally told him he had a male out there but many of the surrounding girls were already pollinated, to add injury one of his brothers only wants one plant each year, he got a male

I think it will depend on the people themselves and what they’re interested in. For example, if I got a free pack of a reg banana og cross, i’d be definitely excited, but if i received a reg girl scout cookies cross id be less so. Freebies are always welcome by everyone though. At the end of the day we paid for a certain thing that we wanted, and freebies just sweeten the deal (even though it probably would get tucked away)

I actually mostly grow regular...because those are what the other breeders I like put out. Having seeds I want to grow be fem is a bonus. Also (I do sex testing) if I have a hole in my tent because high males, I will pop a fem. Honestly if I like/want something it’s getting popped.

I'm with Coalcat. If I want the genetics, it's getting popped regardless. You could work something out with JBC if you end up sending fem and reg freebies. He would allow AKBB buyers to choose what freebies they wanted in the note section at checkout. Not sure how GLG would do this.

Hats off for doing what you did. Teamwork. Win/win
GLG could do it the same way they let you pick your Bodhi freebie
I do agree that letting the customer pick the freebie would increase the chances of them popping the beans vs giving them random freebies

I usually seem to purchase regs seeds so it doesn't matter much to me.

I bought your fems due to the cross only, ChemD X BOO. I would have bought them if they were regs also if that tells you where I'd vote on the matter.
BTW have two of the "DBags" in the flower tent now and they are very nice growers so far, 10 days into 12/12. I'll post pics once they get past that awkward teen age stage.
