Let's talk about the Bean scene. Find out what's going on in the world of drains, flavors, what's hot, what's not? Because we got access, baby. We got James Bean from Steeds here now hanging out today. So let's drew this. Let's drop a mic and get into it. Dude Gros is for educational and entertainment purposes only. All our content is legal and complies with YouTube community guidelines. So there. Yes. Hey, Bean. What's up, man? How you living today? What's going on, guys? Doing good. Doing good. I got something new to debut to the DGC today. Yeah, we were talking beforehand, and I'm so bad at Strain Talk. I think it's a weakness. don't know, dude, would you call yourself good at strain talk? Not really. It takes a spot. I mean, it's an interesting, like, banner is, you know? Banner's our guy. We're really interesting. Yeah, he's our guy. Granbo, come on. Can you hold your own mystery? Yeah. With your strain talk.

That's the reason I left Iowa was to get into Denver scene and just do the strain. I'm a flavor guy. So strains are, uh, that's not my number one, honestly. I was calling people's bluff. I was at that event a couple months or a couple weeks ago. And last week, whenever it was. I was like, smell that.

What do you get?

And it's hard, man.

It is hard, you know?

If somebody tells you, I don't know. But that's just me, man. But flavors are where it's at. And Bean's going to tell us about the cool flavors for 2025. He does it every year. Yeah. So it's definitely a strange different where it's at i mean that's what makes one thing different from the other, especially, you know, strains within strains, if you really know, phenotypes of a strain. Having a great strain is cool, but then, you know, having a selected phenotype of that strain is cooler. So that's always something that Caesar always provides you with. Always. The play have to the the end. And stranger a lot. Like I think I'm pretty wise on it. Right. Yeah. But even on my website, I've got like 5,300 different strengths. So let me ask you. It's the first question. I wrote some questions down when I found out you're coming in. And how do you pick a breeder? What makes a breeder legit enough? Because once you buy his stuff, you have to,

or, you know, once you're selling his seeds, it's your reputation. So how do you protect that,

man? How do you vet a seed, a seed breeder, whether you're doing it on your own or whatever so i've been doing that since 2010 right so you didn't you didn't just go up with these guys and say hey got about your seeds right like you'd meet him at a trade show and by the end of the weekend you had befriended them were cool with them and then you'd be like hey i'm not i'm not the cops kind of like 10 grand with the seeds right because and and this when, you know, for one, it was legal to do it, 2010, right?

Then you're getting these guys to admit that they're making seeds and then they're trying to do a buy from them, right? All the setups are undercover. And so these guys were some of them were off-send. And then you'd have to believe the guy, right? Like, just because he says he made OG Kush. Like so many people told me that they'd made Oji Cush.

They didn't make Oji Cush, right?

But all these guys had a story.

And so I'd have to vet them. just because he says he made OG Kush. Like so many people told me that they made OG Kush. He didn't make OG Kush, right?

But all these guys had a story.

And so I'd have to vet them, but, you know, you must have known somebody that can vet you, right? Who did you get your cuts from? Who'd you work with who could speak on your behalf? And so everybody, you know, one way or the other, I could vet them through somebody and then, you know, eventually by the end of the weekend,

just enough to, yeah, fork over 510 grand,, buy a bunch of seeds and they know up that they sold. And what are you comfortable? Like, you know, what they have got the whole lineage and whatnot. When are you comfortable going and putting your name on them? When I vet them through other breeders, like I can talk somebody and say you know those guys we're doing good shit is he the early deignness

is the guy really did that right

or she's just throwing shit together

she's just you know

making names and then making strains

because that's never good
