So I have a question about which plants you decide to grow at the FTS.
Seems like whatever you grow in vitro will subsequently have a sudden explosion in FTS sales and then taper off. Is it because you prefer growing certain plants or varieties over others? Or because demand is mostly staved after a release of product (like releasing FTS etna for XX amount of money, a bunch of people get it fresh and new, followed by a lowering of price and less attention in vitro for the plant)?
For instance do you still propagate large amounts of a less popular VFT. I know that TC'ing a less than amazing VFT isn't as profitable, but I'm just curious about the whole process, how you relate it to marketing and your own plant preference.
I think its cool that you consult the community with new plants and their possible names. How much of a factor is the forum's opinion in your process of selecting among the superior plants to mass produce?
Thanks for the time.
