Im sure the majority of his gear is fire but he does act like a punk to his unhappy customers. Seeing how he responds to new complaints is revealing. I did notice some of his newer posts have been more civil but then he backslides and gets into it again. How much goodwill has he wasted? Instead of,these being the growing pains,of a young compaNy that has a long future ahead of it, its sounding like the death knell of someone who cant get out of his own way. Remember the "youre holding it wrong" iphone antenna fiasco?

I had some missing and they told me that. I placed order, no seeds. LONG story short I was made complete ass of. I placed 4 more orders to get seeds and had more missing and some smashed that were in a fucking mug. I threw a complete tantrum. Now I use other seed banks. And they were ignorant as fuck to me. Ya, they can kiss my ass. It was over free seeds and my account had well over $2000 in purchases. And they get all ignorant with me. I never fucked up in paying them. Pretty fucked up, I just realized I am getting pissed again. lmao.

That was a lot of reading for just a couple complaints and not enough praise for the top quality.

I have run fem pre 98 bubba, deadhead og and Jedi kush. Pre 98 bubba had a few hermi areas on the seed run but the clone run had no hermi issues from that seed. I have one great pheno of the Jedi and one great pheno of deadhead. I also utilized what looked like the special deadhead male and special Jedi male.
I crossed the deadhead male with a barneys farm g13haze and fuck is it vigorous, so far at 7 weeks it smells like apples like the g13haze, it looks really wonderful though.

You will find keepers with Cali connection. I fucked up the germination on both backwater and Tahoe so I only got two seeds to germinate out of 16...or maybe it was a seed issue, who knows but when I get shit to germinate it usually finishes real nice...I still have 10 sour og that I have not yet tried.

Civility goes a long way. I am interested in seeing how the more recent batches are, to see if the problem has been fixed. his strains are definitely tantalizing....

I think stickyfingers problem is ordering from a single seed center. when I order I always order a breeder pack I spend the extra money and get one thats not tampered with. I tried jamakinmecrazy they popped in less than 24 hours seem to be doing fine. Yo swerve I would like to test some strawberry og.

I stated where I got the seeds, not single seed center, but castle. They ship them in the same packages though. And they were real, don't insinuate otherwise. I'm not stupid, if I was being sold fake beans I would have known after the first time I grew anything I bought from them. Good attempt at ass kissing to get some test beans, though.

ismoke, I spent a fuck ton of money at the tude. When I emailed Laura it was over 2 orders. If you go online with them a lot you may notice they NOW say 1 promo offer per customer. I think I am the reason why. One big promo I spent a bunch, but fucked up thing is my very first order didn't have promo on it. I was bummed but no biggie. Next order was fine (2, 3 days later), Last order no promo. I had a lot of seeds, I wasn't pissed - at all. I emailed Laura and she said Ohhh, no problem, we will throw them on next order. I made another order, nothing. Then another, nothing. Emailed again, starting to get a little pissed. Here is 5 fucking attitude orders that I didn't even really need!! lol. She emails me back and says to posts in comment section and that the last 2 extra orders where for no reason. lol. So I make another order. One promo set of seeds were included and sure as shit one of my other free seeds are missing on that order and 2 are smashed (and in coffee mug!). Now I am starting to get pissed!! I email her again - it's been a dozen emails easy. She says look, if you want us to send special order to you - "So you don't feel left out" then we will. I fucking lost it. I fucking threw a tantrum and then my dumb ass makes another order to get my shit. NO free seeds, half my seeds smashed!!!!!!!!!!!! I would fight that bitch! lmao. No fucking way was it an accident and no fucking way at all was I wrong.
Anyone that thinks this is made up, email Laura. Now they have promos and it says one per customer. If they told me that, I would have said no problem.

If you knew me.... I emailed her daily for weeks, after I caught her in a few lies. I was like "OK. I am placing order now" then email "This is my order here Laura - #blah blah blah". She would be OK, we got it. 3 fucking weeks later when I finally get order - nothing!! If they were the only seedbank, I would send them a few hundred and apologize(even though they are wrong), but I have several other seed banks, so Fuck Attitude and Laura at Attitude.

Ok guys I've been buying cali's gear along with everyone that works at grow shop I'm employed at. We have a nice array of swerves gear never not once have I had any probs. These are reg seeds but still. Also if you are trying to grow femmed with stressed growing methods, overfeeding, not feeding enough, deficiencies, light leak ect this doesn't help them out one bit. Breeders cannabis bible has some really good info on femmed seeds. Before I grew with regs all I used was femmed only prob I had was with greenhouses Hawaiian snow tried to force flower and forced herms instead. Now not saying all femmed seeds won't hermie but sometimes the littlest bit of stress can set them off. As far as saying swerves an ass, well did you guys ever think in one day all the shit he probably goes through. A seed co that is basically world wide via attitude and swerves other networks, you can imagine how many people hit him up with some bullshit. If everyone who had a little hiccup out of cc gear got seeds from swerve he wouldn't have any left. If your serious about good genetics it's going to take a little money to find what your looking for. I popped five seeds from Dutch passion before they came up then all died. As upset as I was I didn't email Dutch passion and tell them ther years of hard work was a line of shit. I looked to myself first and eventually found what was factoring in to my seeds demise. So keep that in mind, hell if you read the CC story on sfv line just think of all the beans swerve went through plants he fed and then didn't like so threw away. That's dollars for the cause right der, for the love of cannabis for us the people. So like the story this ain't no rush job it clearly doesn't state swerve saying buy my gear and you'll never have probs. No that part is up to the people growing out his gear. Most of our probs we bring on ourselves. So try to keep some of this in mind the next time you buy beans from any breeding co. I'm sure swerve didn't say o yea we will just throw this bad batch of beans out there and see if I get good feedback. Accidents do happen, he can't see what his beans are genetically just by looking at their shell. You guys should be happy that your even allowed to give swerve feedback let him know don't bite his head off! He's worked hard very hard I'm sure to bring us genetics that we can call fire!
Any who just remember if you talk your probs out like men there's a way better chance you'll get help rather than acting like kids who didn't get their way. This stuff didn't breed itself someone put their life into this!

yeah the first batch of fems we ahd the formula off i was told half of what it really was... and has since been fixed... i was told a .5-6.0 instead of the 1-12
Click to expand...
Can someone explain this so called formula to me?

I'v been doing a lot of research and talked to 2 breeders about this formula both use STS for fems and both asked what is this formula in relation to?
1 of the breeders gave his formula and gave links to buy the chemicals...nice guy.

This is what both said THE FORMULA BEING OFF WILL NOT CAUSE HERMS AND MALES IN FEM SEEDS.
If the formula is off the plant wont make pollen saks or it could even hurt the plant.

If the plant produced pollen from the STS then the STS worked the formula that produced this pollen has nothing to do with herms and males, thats in the breeding.Once the plant produces pollen the STS did its job has nothing to do with herms ,if the formula was off the STS would not produce pollen and if pollen is produced and the seeds herm its in the genetics.

If what these underground breeders say is not true somebody please post a link showing this...,these guys have a lot of experience and are not trying to make money so i believe them!

EDIT:Oh and both said .5-6.0 is the same formula as 1-12 (2-24) just different strength and this wouldnt cause herm.
Post a link and prove them wrong.

I will speak for myself. I think I have a handle on a lot of the bullshit he goes through and work. I bet its worth it. My problem is this. When you fuck up, your motto can't be that you will only deal with the people that are not pissed about it! He fucked up, he said he fucked up. Man up and make it right.
It boils down to this: Is swerve's genetics so good that he can treat his customers like little bitches?! That is the question I have from reading THIS thread and waiting for swerve to read them all and respond. He fucked up some feminized seeds and had a problem with anyone that is pissed about it. Did I miss something?
