I jumped on a good deal I thought :roll: . I know you get what you pay for in most cases in life in all area's that's just how it is . But 20 white widow, 20 Himalayan gold, 20 super silver haze for 78.00 US that's 1.30 a seed !! now I see why. 20 white widow damp paper towel in zip lock on heating pad 85 F ...........nothing yet on day ten. Got a bad feeling , really glad I didn't go for there buy 2 get on free 180 seeds for 140.00........................ anybody have any dealings with these guys ?

Seriously, all you need to do before buying shit online is google the site...you would have found out in 30 seconds that the place was shady.

How is the saving money on seeds thing working out for you? Don't figure it as lost money, figure it as you paid for schooling. Have you figured out the per seed cost after you use a real seed bank to replace the garbage you bought? Before you grew you probably had no problem paying a hundred dollars a quarter ounce, but can't spend 5-10 dollars on a seed . A pack of Royal Queen Seeds can be had for as low as 11 dollars on Sea of Seeds.

Wasn't trying to be an ass, but patting you on the back and saying everything will be all right does you no good either. Growing your own meds doesn't have to be hard. Maybe you can get lucky and some of your other seeds will sprout. The thing to remember is you are new and need to learn, therefore don't go all nutty professor right away. Decent soil, some light, water, and a little food is all you need. after you learn the plant a little more, than advance another step. The problem for most new growers I think is they get in over their head. You won't have record breaking yields right away, but you will still have nice plants. Hell, I grew 12 plants in a CLEAR rubbermaid container three separate grows, with Miracle Grow soil, cfl light's and Alaska fish fertilizer. I averaged about an ounce a plant, wasn't great, but was better than what all the people that say you can't use miracle grow,
or grow multiple plants in one container said I would get. The container was one of those under bed ones, so it was only like six inches deep, but still got 3/4 pound. Just take your time, read a little, you will find out who gives good advice and who doesn't. And also, there are sometimes more than one way to do things,and all of them are OK, but some people will swear only their way works or works best (seed germination for example, paper towel, soil, jiffy pellets, glass of water, they all work, but some people will swear there is only one way to do it). If your ten seeds sprout in a paper towel, they would have sprouted in soil or a pellet. It does suck about your seeds, and I hate you got fucked over, but you should have gone with a trusted seed bank. And yes, I know people complain about all seed banks, but you really can't go wrong with Attitude, SoS, or Herbie's. I know there are a couple of others I'm missing, but those are the three I can speak for. Good luck, and once you get going and learn, it becomes more fun and than you start to experiment and advance your grow. Next thing you know, King Kong buds.:bigjoint:

ITs all good , your advice is sound. My first set of seeds was from herbies, and yes they were great to do business with. Sent me 5 wrong seeds and they quickly sent the correct ones told me to keep the others. but I got about a 60% germ rate that's why I thought I would try an other seed bank. Just the wrong one ......lol ! thanks for the tips .... be ....8-)

Oh man, I feel for you.

Should have done what I did, I waited for others to order and give reports before going in guns blazing ;)

Sea of Seeds is a decent bank, as too is Attitude. SoS is slightly cheaper and you get more bang for you buck if you buy just 1 pack of seeds(8 free seeds) Where as with Attitude, it's a reliance upon promotions and it may take a while before something pops up that you like the look of.

YA it sucks .....Sent canibis.com an email this morning letting them know I got A big 0 on the first 20 seeds I tried to germ. Then saw on there web site in a box to the side saying because in the UK it is illegal to germinate MJ seeds they wont respond to any email that talk about the propagation ,yield or THC of there seeds. ...........:finger: them . How crazy is that , other words don't complain of your seeds are shit and they don't grow................. So I reworded the next email and said 60 of there products was faulty and didn't work as intended, see if the have the balls to respond. Dam I hate getting took X!kOX!FSUB!!

really? I read 70 to 90 was good for germin on page 15 Jorge Cervantes growers bible.......... I just checked the 40 beans I started 2 days ago 4 have cracked maybe hope yet . the first batch is definitely goners , I pulled the dam pad to be on the safe side. the room is 72 F ......... really you think that's my screw up , man that bums me out if that's what the problem is. Next couple days will tell if I get any:weed: from this batch I guess.............:wall::wall::wall::wall:

if the room is 72, that will work for sprouting, and much safer not to screw with some heat source

Glad to hear not a total loss. Hopefully you get more sprouted, and get some females. All is not lost yet. Maybe even take a chance if you get some girls and try to clone em. Might be worth the trouble you had, and the money you spent yet.

Hey guy's guess what !!!.................. I got a response from canibis.com........................ I went into my junk mail and I found them this morning. they responded to my first email saying because of legal reasons they could not respond. Which they say that on there web page up front if your looking which I wasn't at the time. So I sent another and used gudkarma's advice calling them defective product . they responded with we cant comment because of legal reasons on this product. then at bottom of page said please forward your full name and address so we can reship !!!! ;-)........... wow didn't expect that............................ now the moral issue , did I cook them at 80-85 F or bad seed ...........shit.......... rationalizing says old Jorge Cervantes book says no , your good up to 90F . Your guys insight and advise is what I will be doing from now on.............. So I saved 3 beans, gona dropem in a shot glass and see if they pop......... if they do I will tell them what happen and cancel my complaint . BUT it looks like they are trying to be descent after hounding them a bit so I will have to retract my bad mouthing them and the couple of :finger: I gave them along the way ............... and yes Bwest I will be designating some mother plants for cloning , making a small hydro-cloner now getting all the part together for it. I did 2 already in a jiffy cube to play with but they took almost 3 weeks to start looking good and there still under a week LED , soon as I put them under my 4-bulb t5 they start to wilt..............opps getting of topic here ........ anyway a little up date on the beans......... Cheers

those temps don't sound like seed killers, so accept your reship of seeds as good service
i've seen some very wide experiences with this bank, probably wouldn't use them myself, there are others nearly as cheap but with better reps

Ya I am back to thinking there all bad seed all though I wont use a heating pad anymore to be safe. the other 40 has had 7 start to pop where you can see a white crack and a little growth punching through, just sitting there though not taking off for the last day. I think there week and cant pop the bean open if you ask me but wtf do I know. I'll give it a few more days , be a real head shaker to not get 1 plant out off 60 seeds !!! :cuss: I though I was done buying seeds for some time ............planned on doing some cloning out of this batch ........ Got some coming from sea of seeds should be here in a week, get back on track I hope.

slow crackers can be worth giving the extra attention, they can grow
some seeds can be slow just by genetics
