You know Trapper, we are not all the same with the same motivations. We spent most of the money's we have ever taken for seeds, and then some, on travelling and collecting rare genetics from around the globe in order to preserve and share them with the community.
The biggest problem facing those who do such useful work is that as soon as we have released a strain, these new closet pollen chuckers que up to hack the strain and sell 'their' seeds. Usually for more than we sold/sell them direct.
It has got to the point that we cannot support that real work any longer and the numbers just do not work out for us. It is such a shame that the Cannabis Community, on the whole, cannot see further than the width of their wallets and have no care for this most special of plants..
Peace, HHF
you are right 100%,i will not argue that,i think what is hard is knowing the truth.the seed industry is one of the biggest scam businesses out their,it is filled with fabrication and strain name dropping,it is controlled by a select few.And those select few dictate the terms of who is in the game.i have made multiple cloans worthy of anyone's collection,but can i repeat it,naw it was just chucking pollen on a special mother.can i do what swerve does,can i do what subcool does can i do what cannacopia does,cash crop ken,arjan at greenhouse,potpimp,yes i can,any one can.But we dont know whos working behind the scenes to preserve a future were cannabis is not watered down and void of variation.heck we have sam skunk genetics pollinating indigenous plants.sam skunk man cant improve on some of the old sativas no matter what he says,we have gypsy selling stuff in tribes around the world.the last thing we need is those pollen chuckers destableiseing an already great plant that survived 1000,s of years.When is the bottle neck going to come,i can see your point,why breed numbers,no one is doing it,and the hype and bullshit and the patents,who the hell is sam skunk man to patent genetics that came from Colombia,Mexico or Thailand,hell he probably thinks Christopher Columbus and him came to America before natives.the egos are so big,the money is so grand,that all we here is the latest bullshit hype.i was talking with a buddy the other day about all the great weed we had 30 years ago,how your head would spin and make you pass out from a heavy hit,we never improved shit except fast growing short house plants,we never improved cannabis.But i said before i don't know who's doing what,but at the end of the day you know in your heart if,money,fancy house and big cars is what defines you,or if you truly love your work and believe that your providing something for the future.their are many ways to define a man,but greed is pathetic.And that is what rules this industry right now.But i truly believe HHF that you enjoy your work more then money,i really do.And i hope that you have a successful new year.Like i have said the real work is being done by people who we never know,but i think that the cartel has synthetic weed ready to roll,and the stockholders ill wet them selves with glee.so i do not label all the same,i just really don't know who is telling the truth in this cut throat industry.i hope you understand what im trying to say.
