High everyone,high MisterD
Sorry for the late reply,we are having some busy days here.Also I have to take some important decissions for my personal future that makes me take my time to decide well and be sure everything will go as best as possible,including Tropical Seeds will continue to be strong.Nothing rare,I´m talking on positive things for me,so please,nobody worries
.
Have to say big thanks MisterD for your opinion and thoughts.That is what I was looking for,hearing what people that likes (or not) Tropical want to say about us,our work,things to make better,opinions,thoughts.Thanks for your input and being so fast and sincere.
I think it is a good idea to think in some limited editions including well known top genetics,together with some of our most known and proofed strains.Results could be nice and easy to predictc.We would like to have the way,time and possibility of making a lot of things more.But up to date,we havent big breeding structures nor way to pay them.Hope this changes in the next years...
So having this clear,most of our efforts we are doing right now are in the direction of ending and making some finished strains.When talking on them we are talking on,for example,africans with the ones we´ve been working for + than 2 years.It is hard to start a breeding project and leaving it unfinished when lots of efforts and time have been done to get the strain to the point we wanted.This final step of getting the results we want and having some wide and clear view testing the seeds is being done in several cases.So this work,lets say it is a priority right now @ Tropical Seeds Company.Hope you understand the point and why it is not so easy,in our case,with our possibilities,of making some different works.No matter they are some "easy"-one step works.
As said,hope this can change a bit in the near future.I think we will have some changes in this topic very soon and will have the possibility of having more space and time to work in what do love working.Hope results and new strains avaible will also increase,but again,it is prioritary also to obtain enough stock of our clasic strains for 2012,thing that has being impossible to do this actual year in wich different strains have been out of stock for months.This cant be something normal @ Tropical and we will do our best and planify everything well to trying having stock of our most important strains all the year together with finishing and giving the final spirit we want to the new strains we would like to present.When this would be more or less achieved,more plans and works could done.
We think your idea could be interesting for a big par of the public and could fit well in todays seed market.We know,and see it clearer everyday,that it is impossible to live breeding regular seeds and some exotic,long flowering landrace based sativas.But it is what inpires us the most
,so we are still making these things.So,still Tropical is not a way of living,we still have to work in another job and work hard to trying living decently.We will be trying to find the way of being a bit more appetizing to the general public and market,and limited well known crosses could help a bit
.This said,we also have to clearify we are very very proud and happy of having a little market but knowing and having,in my opinion,some top top top customers radiating good vibes always giving us wings,encouraging growers claiming us to continue in our line @ Tropical in most cases.We are not many up to date still with the pure and the "starting from the beginning" works
.Have to say BIG thanks to all the people that have help us so much with their good works and good vibes
So maybe a little restructuration in the offers will be done,we want to live of our job,work and efforts being done @ Tropical Seeds.This could be done,firstly,by increasing the feminished stock.Secondly with limited well known- top clones crosses.Also spending less efforts in the regular stock,but watching todays market,there is no need of having large regular stocks,they get old and this is a nonsense.Sure we will be calibrating efforts and planing better our offers in the next months and year,trying to continue in our line,making new different and original strains ( we want to offer some africans ASAP ),but aalso trying to enter a bit more in the big market to trying to be some day a real seed bank in wich we could do our best,give all our time the project,and also living of it.
Peace & thanks again for your opinion
