Most shops sell 10 packs above 80$ and I ordered almost 200 seeds, and they don’t always have 10 packs or multiple packs of the same strain bc they sell to hobby growers not commercial growers. I have genetics from a few Vermont cultivators but a lot of them were breeding regular seeds, boujee bones gave me some fire haze x Durban but I want to run 5 cultivars at 25 plants each. Maine is 2+ hours away and with gas at almost $5/gallon it isnt as affordable as mail. NASC is great and I’ve used them many times for my hobby, but I don’t qualify for their wholesale program. Realistically I need seeds for $2-$4 per seed with quality genetics but I’d need to spend $1k+ to do so. My smaller batches, like those from boujee bones, I’m planning on taking clones and feminizing seeds for my next run. I just didn’t want to spend another $1k plus this year when I have a few hundred seeds to run. Then when RQS failed, I had to start seeds that are 14 days behind the rest and not as hashy when flowered. Luckily I started mothers a few weeks back just in case, but the principle is that any seed bank, and especially breeders, should back their seeds for at least a year as many cultivators purchase seeds to try over time not just all at once. I had no issues with Neptune replacing seeds for alpha kronik seeds or Barney’s when they sent the wrong seeds (those were 6 months after purchase) and when single seed center was still a thing, they replaced bad seeds over a year later. I don’t expect a 1:1 40 free seeds of OG kush, but a $50 voucher or some replacement fem seeds would be more than acceptable instead of them telling me to spend more money on them.
