Genetics are like cars: The goal determines the cost.
For many growers, the price of seeds and clones can be shocking, especially if you’re a beginner.
Since 2019, I’ve bought and sold $1000s of clones and seeds, and I can tell you from experience that genetic pricing is determined by your goals the same way car pricing is determined by your needs.
When you buy a car, there are two types of buyers:
- A to B Buyers: These buyers need a vehicle to get from A to B. They’re not looking to spend heavily for anything unnecessary.
- Specific Shoppers: These buyers are looking for something special. They’ve accepted that they will pay more for not just any vehicle.
Genetics are the same way; there are two buyer types:
- Plant Buyers: These growers are looking for physical plants. They have 6 pots, they need 6 seeds or 6 clones. Sure, they may have preferences, but above all, they need plants to fill their garden.
- Genetic Hunters: These growers are on the hunt for harder to find or sought after options. And they understand they are paying a premium for that value.
