For me it was definitely something I never even thought about when I started growing and buying some quality beans. When you start you pretty much only hear about the RQS or ETHOS genetics, none of my growmies or I even knew of any local breeders, you will maybe see it whilst scrolling through your favorite seedbank. For me it was something that I had to do my own research on and when you get there, there isn't as much info as the international breeder.
I guess it is a thing that needs to be put out there a bit more, advertise the local breeders next to or before internationals. Maybe even have its own subheading just for SA breeders.
We all need to do our part to educate ourselves on whats going on in the world of cannabis seed breeding in this country and support our local guys just as much as we are willing to do for an international breeder, they didn't get there just by themselves but with the cannabis community as a whole!!
