Hi, my name is Dank Budz and it's been about 35 days since I've purchased seeds. You know it's hard, sometimes I find myself browsing JBC for no specific reason at all, just to see the new drops. The constant emails about sales and IG posts on 'one time only drops" has given me some serious fomo. But I've held strong, no more will I buy untested F1 chucks or reversed clone on clone S1s. Thanks for listening to my story

Edit: until the 420 sales that is..

I gave up and started making my own.

I made a few large orders years ago. Several thousand dollars worth. I'm kicking myself now for the selections I made. I bought a bunch of the typical polyhybrids people grow and a few landraces. I realized later that I don't want to grow that polyhybrid stuff anymore and then went back and bought a ton of landraces and those are what I grow these days while making more seeds and my own crosses. I gave most of the polyhybrid packs of seeds away as I'll never grow them. Well over $1000 worth. I have no interest in growing anything with a lineage that takes up 2 pages. I still have packs of fem seeds I bought that I'll start and give away this season to a few good friends for their outdoor grows as I'll never grow them.

I've never bought the same strain twice yet I have more seeds of almost every strain I've grown than I originally purchased because I make seeds of everything I grow. Buy once grow forever. That's how I roll.

Last run I started with 5 Sinai seeds. I have way more than that now. That's because of my buy once grow forever philosophy. I actual enjoy growing more now than I ever have now that I'm not growing the same old boring cookie cutter strains. Each grow is something new and surprising. I'm currently salivating in anticipation of harvesting my current grow of a Landrace Thai and and African Malawi. I find these primitive strains to be more unique in taste and effect than any of the Purpleberry Chocolate Punch Cookies stuff out there. My only regret is that I wasted so many years growing all the cool named strains. Oh well. Better late than never I guess. :weed:

I'm honestly really lucky that I:

1) did a pretty good job of educating myself on what's what before making any seed purchases. I've only once bought something due to a name & got pretty lucky with that one.

2) have a wife who will legit kill me if I spend more than a few bucks behind her back :lol: :lol: :lol: lol! To her credit though she's really reigned us in financially, we do quite a bit with very little.

This does not stop me from surfing the web and seedbanks often. I just window-shop.

Living in a secluded area with restrictive laws, I haven't held back in buying any and all strains I want to try, cause simply put its like a kid in a candystore. I have more than enough but still find myself buying, lol! I need to put an end to my hoarding addiction. Have several lifetimes worth of beans to grow. Anywho, glad I'm not alone

Been doing good not buying seeds lately. I'm waiting on 420 sales although the packs I want atm already cost $50 lol. Chucking more making my own seeds so I won't have a lot of space for other breeders gear while I test my own crosses. I feel like my current line up is the best herb ive had in awhile so I will play around with the genetics ive got running now vs chasing the unicorn buying more seeds. I'll play the lotto with my own seeds it's cheaper.
