The dozens of No Namers on Attitude

Just curious: how many people out there actually order from the 90% of relatively unheard of breeders on Attitude? Ill admit that I dont take any chances with unheard of breeders and usually scan that arrow right through that list without even so much as glancing except for my usual 2 or 3 picks on there. Further, how many of you take your business to the " amateur breeder guy " sites? Just curious. I personally run clones that Ive traded over the years between CA growers, and occasionally place a seed order to freshen up the rotation.

Especially when your dealing with plant limits its hard to make that leap and dedicate the time to a seed that might be a bum but I wish I could try everything. There is probably some great stuff out there that I just wont try because I don't know the breeder. That being said I have had some seeds from a few of the big name breeders that I would have been absolutely embarrassed to sell to someone.

The big name breeders are like the bigger beer companies. The beer you've never heard of is usually surprisingly good but they haven't spent as much on advertising. Alot of folks dispise High Times Magazine and wont advertise in there. The companies that do advertise obviously get noticed first. I have tried MANY random breeders so if you have a question about anyone in specific I may have info...

Exactly what do you say to individuals who think any kind of remedy which isn't organic is harmful to the human body? Ancient civilizations like Greece had piece? for years, but their life span was considerably less than ours today. Would you say our bodies benefit from the pharmaceutical industry?
Why are you posting this in more than one place, verbatim? cn

To up his post count why else. Oh and to the OP, I'm the same way. There is simply to many strains out there and because of California grow limits I'm forced to be extra picky about which seeds I buy. So I tend to go for those that came from breeders with a good track record. It takes more then a few random reviews to catch my attention. It either needs to win an award or the breeder has to stand out from the crowd. Tom Hill being a good example; he hasn't won awards but crazy famous on some forums. Same could be said of Subs gear. Even if you don't like the guy, it's pretty tempting to at least want to try his stuff.

Good points, especially the beer example. Hadn't thought of it that way. I came to the conclusion recently that I've been simply buying into a bunch of marketing nonsense from the top tier breeders via Attitude and the forums, yet at the end of the day none of these seeds has ever approached the quality of the select few cuts I've obtained here in so/ central California. I've grown a lot of TGA gear btw, same with DNA as well as what would be considered the rest of the "Top10". Perhaps I'll start trying out some "Micro Brew" companies on the 'Tude at some point. It's a gamble though for sure.

Hope I'm not insulting them by saying thier no-name but, tried ch9's jack33 and that shit was bomb. Did hermie a few banannas but lovely smoke.
 
I feel that attitude would do quality check on their no name breeders. Isn't the attitude name relatively trusted? And if they are would they really risk that trust with throwing in just random crappy breeders?

Well mine and others' credit card info was stolen a couple years back but thats another story. Apparently they got hacked. But trusted as far as reputable customer service? Id agree. Ive never had any issues receiving my orders or replies to emails.As far as trusted in regards to QC'ing theyre breeders: Id have to disagree. I tried out Spice of Life's Donk once and they were the most horrendous beans Ive ever seen. Pale white seeds that looked like they were premature and had been sitting for ages, only a couple were tiger striped. Like Irie pointed out though, theres prob a few unknown gems in that list.

How did the plants turn out though?

The Donk? I had one female out of two viable seeds. The pheno I got wasnt bad. Had a spicy smell though which I am not into, so it didnt stick around long.Also, to note, and one of the reasons I dont experiment too much with new seed companies: The dude from Spice of Life was impossible to reach, and Im not sure if youve ever tried to return Beans to Attitude? You're pretty much screwed unless the Breeder himself is willing to replace your stock.Why customer service rep is huge if something happens with your pack.

The Tude clearly states that all seeds are sold for souvenir purposes and are not intended to be germinated. I have ordered from attitude dozens of times and I don't have any complaints.

This wasn't a review of the tude. Though I assume you just saw your name and auto-responded.

Read the post above mine where the guy says its impossible to return beans to the 'tude. I am not reviewing the Attitude. I am letting this guy know that they make it clear that the beans are not meant for growing. Obviously you don't comprehend the things you read or you would already know that the seeds sold by The Attitude are sold for souvenir purposes AND you would have seen that I was replying to another poster in this thread. Way to go, Asshole!

Lol. Take it easy bro. If you're reading comprehension skills were as sharp and fine tuned as you imply, you would have deduced from the prior posts that I was simply highlighting a point as to why it's risky ordering from a " no name" breeder who may not have a reputation for customer service, because as you may or may not know, although ( yes Everybody knows that the seeds are for souvenir purpose only) if you do experience issues, Attitude points you directly to the breeder, many of which will take care of you with a replacement pack. This is the only reason it was mentioned.Missed the point
