You check out.

There are a lot of great seeds out there.
You should try something other than greenpoint.

I'm trying to help.

Lol, thx.

I was flying to Amsterdam, buying seeds, and smuggling them into the US as far back as '96. Yes, there are a lot of great seeds out there, and there is even probably more shitty seeds than good. That being said, I'm not spending $200 on a pack of F1's from Archive or anybody else. Myself and friends have ran many packs from GPS as far back as when he had the Monster Cookies male. We've had a nearly 100% germ rate, and have been super happy with the results and customer service. Unlike others, we've experienced that the Mother often shines through with hints and great traits of the Stardawg male. As far as my experiences and the vast majority of regular growers from this thread, the genetics stated are real and have been great. I'm not against buying someone else's seeds, but for the price, bud quality, and service I see no reason that I wouldn't buy from GPS as well. They could take a pic of Alexis Texas' ass and post it as their strain photo... as long as that strain turns out solid I don't care. I know from experience tha even stabilized strains from legit breeders require a pheno hunt to get something truly special, and that most breeders use the best of the best pics to promote their seeds. I've also gotten absolute dog shit from Heavyweight Seeds, to name a few, thru World of Seeds, but I'm not running around on the internet bad mouthing them or WOS unless someone asks.

I only actually found nanners on the lowermost bud sites of one of the plants, they were 4x ECSD seeds. not quite sure how much it seeded the crop but through trimming ive found around 20-30 seeds already. I just wish I caught it early and and now am unsure if it will happen again with this strain . I figure someone else may have the same experience with this so I know if I should keep the clones or not. I was definately considering tossing the clone of the one i found nanners on but I want to check all the smoke out, It is now just curing.

If you have a place you recommend i can buy seeds from cool. I enjoy growing tell me what streins im sure I will like a few of the variety they have. And only share the good i get from it. Its a roll of the dice. I will share the positive.

There are several US based banks and not sharing the bad isn’t fair to the newcomers here. Please share good and bad.

The quality/value ratio is legit.
1 good, 1 bad + meh

Things are changing and there are better seeds out there at the same price point.

But why am I telling you?
An old school seed smuggler who only grows greenpoint is obviously an expert beyond reproach...

damn there were a lot of posts and the last thing I saw was something about a shopped pic of someone else’s plant.

Yeah, those pics are obviously shopped, and the way they’re all done up is no doubt partially to evade reverse image searches, but I don’t think there is any nefarious reason behind it. They probably don’t have pics of the finished product when they release the seeds and try to find something that approximates what it will look like. It’s basic marketing. Not some IP theft like I see way too many people accusing them of. IIRC they have photo credits on every page so I don’t see what the big deal is. As a photographer myself I don’t give a flying fuck if someone takes some pic of a bud I grew and shops it purple. Not like it’s some work of art that I spent a lot of time on. The bud, maybe, but not the pic.

I’m totally happy with GPS and I just think haters gonna hate.

Well its been fun. I believe we are on the same page. Its kind of funny i give you one fact in 83 a brother in youngs town ohio had some very prime skunk bud seeds. I did go and bring several back. ( smuggled ) they turn out the best ive seen or grown. Lol. And yes im always looking for new streins ( dam good seeds ). I will take the ride on the Harley for something interesting. In growing we also grow organic fruit trees and vegs. I’ll take any advice on good interesting streins. My wife has learned plenty on cross breeding so we can start putting together some new Interesting streins. Take it easy. Have fun. Grow strong. Chat with you later.

Man shut your crazy ass up. They didn’t post a pic of the mother plant or the reversed female plant. They went on ig and used somebody else’s plant. Not once, not twice, not three times but several times. Don’t tell these new jacks that shit cool, because if you condone that shit you’ll likely scam someone too!!!

I have grown 3 strains from GPS and will not grow them again this is my experince
I have been lurking on hear for years just never posted much now its legal in my state
and wanted to share I have grown out many female seeds and never had a problem

regs sunday stallion seeds wer very tiny but they did sprout and grow
I grew 4 plants and only 1 female wich is fine but when I put in flower almost at the end of harvest
started pushing nanners and the smoke was watered down sunday driver with a strong stardawg taste

second round female seeds PURPLE PUNCH
I will say this was the best that I grew out if there gear PURPLE PUNCH
I popped 2 beans had to different pheno's both was very tastey and grew out as they should with no issuses

now the 3rd run was female seeds wich put the iceing on the cake for me not to grow there gear EVER again
STRAIN WAS SUNDAE BANANA COOKIES these plants grew nice but it screwed my whole crop up
this strain here blew jizz all over my other girls and screwed me out of 3 months of work
now I know that's the chance you take with female seeds but 2 plants both grew out nut sacks and had
there way with my girls what little smoke I got to burn it would have been a nice strain but its is shit
some genetics don't mix well and they are slinging pollen on anything they get there hands on
that's my rant anyways I feel better now

This makes me so Angry.. I read days of the Pages here if i haven't done this i have not buy from GPS because no reviews to the Genetics. The practice is not only dirty it is stupid as Hell. Look at the Buds
View attachment 4466407
They all looks so Photoshop manipulated i can't belive why i was so stupid. The deals they always make % 10,20,35 are every 2 weeks also a sign something is wrong. Why they don't let people grow there Genetics and using the pictures from them? Some test Growers etc. The Seeds i have Germ are looking very good hope they bring what i hope but i will not buying from them so quick again. I send them a email with the fake pics i will see how they react to that and fired the one who is responsible for that SCAM! But why is GPS not here a member on board and tell us what they make.I wait for my Beans 3 week getting the risk for buying over see and they do that shit what a Dirty shit.

Last question: the ice cream punch and sour cookies both fems are worth growing ore throw them away? I don't have the nerves for growing crappy shit again!

Soooo, you’re cool with fake pics? Of product that may or may not turn out that way? Not cool man, not cool. I will say this and I’ve said it before, Greenpoint reg’s are legit. Found fire in almost every pack. Don’t know about the fem’s they’re selling, haven’t grown any.

I guess I am, because I was looking in the photo credits on all those and saw they were mostly taken from people’s Instagram. You asked your question and I answered, so let me ask you one. Would you rather have no pic at all, or a pic of something similar to give you a general idea of what the bud looks like?

I’ll admit it is not how I would advertise if it were my thing. I would wait to grow the plants out and take pics of the finished product before releasing the seeds. That’s just my opinion on how I think it should be done. That being said I’m experienced enough to know that pics of plants on a seedbank site aren’t anything you should be using to set expectations. I’ve always felt like that stuff is there as a matter of course — because they’re expected to be there, and those pics don’t affect my purchasing decisions at all. I read info, and I look at what people have to say, and I keep in mind that the pic is just a pic they stuck up there to help sell shit.

Damn I had no idea people felt so strongly about pics. This is what I’m talking about. Everyone gets so fired up about something that I just don’t care about. If you look at the pages, really closely, you’ll see photo credits and links to the original pics. This is just how people advertise. They are not claiming anywhere that those pics are of plants that will come from the seeds you order.

I’ll give you this much though, by shopping them, putting their names on them, and sticking the credits way down in the fine print they are being misleading, and I understand why this would piss people off. I’m just not one of them. Caveat emptor. That’s Latin for “buyer beware” and you should keep this phrase in mind whenever you shop. The only real question here is whether you give a shit about the pics or not. You do, and I don’t. I’ll leave the name calling out of it. Take care dude. No hard feelings.

I understand why some of y’all might have a problem with this, but I’m just going to respectfully disagree. This is just a seed company trying to make money. The only thing that matters is how much they sell. They used someone else’s pics, and put credits and links to the original. Yes the pic for rum runner is some random TK. I still don’t have a single fuck to give about that and I’m sorry if not all of you share my opinion. If you just do like I do, and understand that the pic is just there because it is expected, and has little to do with what’s in the pack, you won’t get your feelings hurt when you discover something that I caught like a month and a half ago. What’s the point of this thread if it’s just gonna get swarmed with haters, shit talkers, and malcontents?

Here’s an edit. I knew that rum runner one looked familiar. I think this is the insta account in question? Linked right there on the page for rum runner with credit given to the photographer? I think they did everything right, and that anyone who is upset just needs to pay more attention. Yes, editing that pic and calling it rum runner is misleading, but the truth is in the fine print for all to see, if they would just read it.

Some people absolutely base their purchase off of pics. I was gonna go in on a seed order with a friend who knows nothing about forums or breeders. He wouldn't consider anything except breeders that included a picture with the strain. It plays a role and misguides customers, fuck that.

Why cant they ask first? If your going to use someone else's photo, drawing, whatever just ask first and give credit. These post seem like the original owners weren't even asked which is pretty weak to just use it and cite.

Just put your company logo over the pic spot until you do have one to use.
