Of all the brands i've tried so far, which is not a ton but also not a very small sample, Ethos has been the one that comes through with not only good looking plants but tasty plants. their prices are a lot better than their competitors too. e.g. Inhouse has some nice stuff, but tends to be bland flavors/taste. They also charge 2-3x more per seed, which is fucking ridiculous. No seed is worth 20/pop. Some assholes out there charge really insasne prices -- see gage green group... hope those people die in a helicopter crash for financially raping people, lol.
Brotanical Gardens is run by a family memeber of the ethos dude. You typically get a generous amount of freebies -- and unlike al ot of places they aren't freebies of shit-branded no-name seed companies, lol. You get some Ethos testers from what i can tell. I got 18 freebies of 3 strains with 3 5-pack purchases. 33 seeds at about ~5/pop is what i like to see, even that is a large profit margin.
From a 30-40g plant i got 1500 seeds. Imagine how many you get from a large plant. 10,000? might cause 50-100 to grow it? less for any small time grower at home, more for a commercial op due to cost of property etc, but not much if at all over this overestimated cost. 1 plant.. might cost 40-50 at home with a small light including all expenses, even depreciation of equipment. 10000 / 50 = 200 seeds per dollar, LOL. 10,000 less 40 seeds to cover cost. 9960 *5 = 50,000 dollars per plant profit. holy fuck. even if it costs 2x as much .. 25,000 profit per plant
They are ripping us off and the people willingly raping themselves buying overpriced seeds is a major part of the problem in addition to their insatiable greed.
don't buy overpriced seed... force the market price down. take their leverage away becasue they wield it like assholes.
