Greenpoint seeds!!

[Bakersfield]

So what is the lowest the price can go at auction? Is it really 0.00? I've never used it myself. I did watch for a while today and I saw OBS get to $32. I almost bought them, then it got reset or someone else did. I watched the eagle scout get down to $50 something and then got distracted.

Edit: I hate to ask these kinds of questions in this thread, but I trust you guys as a group of people. Have any of you grown Redeye genetics, and have you ever dealt with Oregon elite seeds before? Or do you have any suggestions of reliable seed banks that are in the United States like GPS?

I've grown out 4 Red Eyed strains. They've all been good to me.
I placed my last order with https://www.labyrinthseedco.com.

So I didn't get testers to my own fault of not reading the rules of the drop. So went ahead with plans as before and I popped a full pack of Cookies n Chem. 10/11 above soil within 6 days. Heat pad and keep em moist. Nice to get 10 from a pack sold as a 10 pack.

My CNC is growing their asses off. 5 of 6 were female.

Do a search on Elite , they had a breach n got everyone’s info stolen, owner didn’t seem to care. I won’t buy there .

It’ll never drop to 0.00. The prices drop by 10% of the current reverse auction price. So as the prices decrease, the amount that it decreases by also decreases. It’ll continually get smaller and smaller but never reach zero.

Everything other than Copper Chem will drop to ~$35 regularly. At that point I think people start going, “what’s 3 extra bucks? May as well just buy it now”. That or it automatically resets.

Nice. Ya I wanted to pheno hunt the pack after seeing what people have been getting and knowing the strains in there.

While other breeders are ripping people off and charging out the ass for inferior genetics, people are crying about having to wait a bit longer for a sick deal at auction? This thread has some of the most entitled, spoiled, crybaby little whiners I can imagine. If you don't like it then don't use it.
I've had multiple packs shipped to my door for the cost of shipping at GPS because of the reverse auction and so have countless others in this thread.
Don't masquerade around like you're concerned that someone will get 'ripped off' by the higher starting price when what you're really mad about is that YOU have to wait longer for the price to get into the range where your cheap ass is willing to buy.
Gu~ has spoiled everyone and now some are acting incredibly entitled. If you take a few minutes after writing your posts before submitting, take a walk, have a snack or smoke a joint and then go back and read your post again, I'm sure it will become clear how much of a whiny child you sound like .

I’m gonna clarify some things here.

First, it’s actually *faster* for the reverse auction to drop to a specific price point now than before. *Faster*. If I simply cared about getting cheap packs, I would be happy with the change. It has nothing to do with how it affects me personally. Hell, I’m straight up done getting anything from GPS. I’m happy I have the packs I’ve got, but I won’t need any more Stardawg for a long time.

Second, the whole point of the artificial price increase is to create the psychological perception that one is getting a better deal. That bothers me, just like it bothers me when I enter a store advertising a 50% off sale, but the merch has been marked up 25% beforehand. Am I jumping up and down mad? No. I just don’t like it as a business practice. I mentioned that pages ago. Apparently that makes *you* so mad that you had to call me a spoiled entitled brat. Uh, ok?

Third, you’ve got this notion that providing the reverse auction is Gu doing a service to his customers. No, he’s doing it because he understands that it continually brings traffic to the site, and that it gets customers to purchase packs they wouldn’t otherwise. I’m sure plenty of people on here never considered getting Hickok Haze or OBS (random examples) but when they saw it for $40 decided what the hell. It’s a smart business move for Gu. It moves product that might otherwise just sit. Hell, Gu himself has criticized Pig Whistle, but people are still buying it on auction.

Honestly, aside from some issues choosing who to collaborate with, Gu’s a smart business man. Without his site with its reverse auctions and his regular sales and his “tester” giveaways, you think he has a 1000+ page thread on RIU?

This is my first time growing Gu's strains, so I'm anxious to see what his does against my "Hellaphino" genetic line. lol

More than likely you have some oribatid mites.Give google a look and check out soil mites.If that is the case you're ok.

Thanks vertnugs! I've been reading up on these guys and it might be the culprit. I used some outdoor compost in the mix and they probably came in with that.

Cheers!

Just want to give @Gu~ a shout out for going out of his way and taking care of customers who dealt with the whole sag bullshit. He went above and beyond on my end in taking care of me and making it right and that is hard to come by these days. If your looking for the Chem dominate I’m assuming to hit the copper Chem first? I’ve seen a few pics of the bodega Bubblegum and it looks fire if I can find the bubblegum with the nuances of the Chem in the back. Anyway much respect gu your stand up!

This.

Greenpoints plants are fantastic. Beyond that, Gu~ is setting a new standard. I love what he has done and the man def deserves more credit.

Look at the way he handled the S1's. Yes he took care of his customers, and in doing so, he made sure that Greenpoint took the hit, not the customer. That is HUGE in the seed world. In my experience, Gu~ has always been a stand up dude. I even got butt hurt with Greenpoint once and spent a week sour, but the entire time I didn't realize Gu~ had already taken care of the issue. Like I mentioned earlier, I made my first few purchases on Greenpoint because they offered credit card processing--and I thought that was my insurance if the company was shady--because the dispensaries in LA are shady, and a lot of people in the green business are shady. (Like SAG!). But not Greenpoint. Greenpoint and Gu~ has now earned my trust and it is the only company I trust enough to send cash in the mail. I was skeptical, but Gu~ won me over.

Changing prices on auctions is not shady. Everyone agrees that Gu~ is a marketing genius. If you want any strain, just be patient. Shady is like the other seed companies when you pay for something and they don't send it and quit responding, right?

This thread sucks when it gets ugly. It seems that some folks want free shit and so they complain in hopes to get it. Like with the S1's. Sure, the situation needed fixing, and Gu~ offered the solution, but it took the mods to jump on here and point that out. It would be great if the tone could change on here. Give credit where credit is due. If you enjoy Greenpoint--and I do! Then get onto that vibe. If you feel that Gu~ is a good dude--and I do! Then let's change the tone to give the man some well earned credit.

Also want to point out that Gu~ gives goodness even without complaining. Last year, when Greenpoint offered the 3-seed sample packs for thirty something dollars, I was super surprised when every one I ordered came with 11 seeds. Thanks Gu~!

 

[Gu~]

Thanks!

I still want the hate, though! Keeps the biz sharp and I do take recommendations I see here.

Also, I do not mind anyone talking about other breeders, seedbanks, strains, topics in here. Shoot... I'm not even the OP on this thread.

Hang out, Drink some coffee/tea, Smoke a bowl, pipe, joint and blunt.

Share your experiences, that's all I want.

Scarcity marketing is certainly nothing new -- and Gu didn't invent it.

Underdog and Flowermate vapes. Thank you very much! And my best Copper Chem this morning! Again, thank you very much!

Marketing schemes are everywhere like 4/20 sales and anniversary sales and overstocked sales and customer appreciation sales and Ram Tough promos and all other bullshit everywhere. Gu's are mostly harmless and fun. Been living on mostly “Discontinued” stuff for a while 'cause I’m so damn cheap. Luvin' it!

Thank you Jayblaze! Pretty much word for word exactly how I feel. Gu is more than just a good guy. He's a good business man also. I've never bought 35 packs of seeds before with the same male. But I did with Stardawg. And I'm glad I did. I'm interested in chuckin some pollen. I've now got a great base of females I can start off with. The auction is faster now, pleasantly surprised. I'm still kinda chuckling at that 150. But hey man, life is still fantastic. And I'm still loving Greenpoint. But I'm filled up on Stardawg for the time being. Guess I'll just have to wait on the next round of S1's. And I ain't scared, I'll buy'em.

Would be nice to see more then 2 breeder’s
I think I got enough Stardawg for the next decade

Love you man! Mean it too. I don't want to make love to you. I just love you. Thanks for being the kind of guy you are. You're a stand up dude my good friend.

PS- Lol. Now go find another super male where I can buy up all his stuff too! Thank you very much Gu! Best seedbank around.
