I love Herbies, never a prob in over a few orders,why order more than once if they screwed you before with all the other seedbanks? How are they bad and what breeder are they from?

 

[ThaSeedMan]

Bomb seeds. DNA , reserva privada , dynasty , pyramid , th seeds to name a few but I've spent thousands there in the past to start getting ripped now ?

 

[hotrodharley]

You name several breeders. All of these failures are recent?

So how are they bad? That's a lot of breeders to have problems with all.

Do you mean you keep doing something wrong when trying to germinate seeds so you blame Herbies?

Then yes herbs is a rip off, lol.

 

[hotrodharley]

I've grown from Bomb, Reserva Privada (for a long time) and Pyramid and never had an issue with bad seeds. No matter the seedbank I bought from.

 

[ruby fruit]

I've grown from reserva private and TH never had a problem

 

[Indacouch]

How did you germ them?

How did you germ them?

In the oven

You posted in another thread that you had all these elite strains and that you were starting a seed bank. Now you're on here saying all these bad seeds from herbies. Why would you even mess with them having all the strains you listed you're running and breeding with. Jus curious.

 

[whytewidow]

I mean if I had all these strains being run right now. I sure as shit wouldn't be buying seeds from herbies.

Ages ago I had some germination issues with some single seeds I got from Herbies. I then learnt about sterilising seeds as part of the germination process in order to kill any bacteria or fungus hanging around on the outside of the seed that could potentially kill the seedling as soon as the seed cracks.

Problem resolved right there. Rest of my old Herbies seeds stash popped no problems. This doesn’t seem to be so much of a problem when you buy a breeder pack as no-one has handled the seeds in-between you & the breeder but if you buy a single or a have a pack split open for you it is definitely worth sterilising. Someone at Herbies has grubby mits for sure.

Well let's see.
Th seeds Chicle grew like 2 sets of freaky leaves
Th seeds Burmese kush had a crack in the seed
Dynasty's blue Magoo is trash and didn't germ
Bombs atomic had a crack in the seed as well
Tut had a white-ish seed and a tiny black one that rotted in the napkin
All 3 purple OG 18 never Germed

These issues are within the past 4 orders and to just name a few , as far as my germination goes I get 99.9% on shit I breed or from other breeders

Not saying I haven't scored good genetics and good seeds in the past through them just saying maybe quality control should be addressed over there

Not a germination issue , its a bad seed issue simple as that

One can Never have enough Exotic genetics & I still have a few things on my wishlist noone around here has

 

[ThaSeedMan]

How did you germ them?

Lmfao Hmmmm
Never figured out how to do that part

But seriously what kinda question is that ? How do you think I germed em

 

[ThaSeedMan]

I've Ordered a lot of seeds over the years

Actually I don't have A issue with germination EVER so if the seeds don't germinate the seeds are trash simple as that , NOT going to Argue with anyone about that

Been growing for 19 years breeding for 13 years so I would think by now I got the hang of the paper towel method wouldn't you think ?

 

[ThaSeedMan]

Not here to Argue with Anyone , Facts are Facts & I got Ripped

Simply asked what can be done about it

Germination Technique isn't an issue , never has been

Being Sterile isn't either as I sterilize everything & As a Tattoo Artist I Think I'd Know A Little More About Sterilization Than Most People Sooooo .......

That Being Said What Can I Do ?

Not here to Argue , I'm Here for a Solution
If I needed help or advice on how to grow or germinate I'd be asking that but I don't
