Hi!
I've been lurking here for a bit and always seem to find myself seeking info here from Google searches. .Dare I say this site has some of the best relevent information? And what seems like a super relaxed atmosphere? Where people can actually *GASP* argue respectfully?
Anyways, I'm Blaze , nice to meet everyone. I'm an exile from that other site shmore shmwunty shmagazine.
I was running a pretty good journal since April and things were going well. Making friends, constantly smiling lest the belt snap, liking the most shittiest of scraggly buds in fear of being outcast, participating in lobotomies, bare knuckle fighting for grow of the month, you know, the typical stuff cool people do when just "hanging out". We all made sure to take our happy pills prior to logging on because anything negative WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED! Oh and we would all make our daily offerings to the sponsors by depositing a pound of flesh into the sponsor box. It was pure bliss!
But alas, I had a bad experience by a couple seed companies, Sponsors I mean, (sorry I'LL whip myself later as punishment). I had followed the banners from the website, so I felt safe. Well, 1 out of 3 seed companies performed flawlessly! The other 2 did not... One of the orders was good, the first CC order, but 2 of 4 breeders packs arrived open. The 3rd companies order never arrived but they finally refunded after 40 days of no seeds, so O.K. But as I placed another order with the prior (2nd company), a cash order, (still following me?), that's when things got a little strange.
The second order from company number 2 was made with cash as the CC option mysteriously disappeared. So I sent in cash across the Atlantic (roughly 300$). Seeds showed up rather quickly but not in breeders packs and several seed strains looked exactly the same. Supposedly land race strains from trusted breeders but as they were, one could not be sure at all. Plus the order did not come from Western Europe like the previous order had, but minutes from my house in North Orange County .CA ...
Sorry for rambling, almost over... As I went to rectify the situation, it appeared the seed company did not want to hear any of it, so I went back to the "original website" from whence I came, to leave a review and ask for help.
Long story short, all my posts were deleted and I was banned for QUESTIONING AND BASHING AN IMMORTAL SPONSOR! I'm out almost 300$ and I've got random seeds which who knows what the hell they are. The company finally said they will send out the proper order but I haven't heard from them in a couple days. I'm still holding out hope as I'm not one to complain about little things. I understand things get stuck in customs, etc... but flat out sending random seeds trying to pass off as certain well known breeders? Not good
The above rambling is written in sarcasm and trying at humor but true. I've never been banned from a forum in my life lol I've been growing for roughly 20 years as well but I'm no expert by any means. That "other" website is pretty weird with allot of newbs running 100w LEDs and auto flowers indoors. Not that that's a bad thing but they act like their little grow is so gigantic and they're experts. Theres a few really good people on there tho who really know what they're doing but the atmosphere is such a fake happy, trying to impress sponsors for free equipment, it's creepy. So I'm actually glad I'm banned as I lurked more here anyways.
Another time, I had just switched out a T5 for a really impressive 200w full spectrum LED for my mother tent. It was 75$ and it really kicks ass, so I thought I would share it with the board. Well, turns out, that is a big no no and was my first warning and an accuseal of being a salesmen or something, which I'm not. I'm just a 40yo stoner who loves growing and thought I'd share the wealth. I guess it wasn't on their approved list. Understandable I guess. If the mods tell me something within reason, I'll respectful listen and abide.
What got me banned was sharing the exact scenario above and again, accused of being another salesmen, this time for a seed company. And I asked ,"if you're saying my negative reviews are fake, so you delete the posts but yet leave the positive (obvious fakes) reviews but those couldn't be fake?" It was surreal. The mods saying they're not a sponsor yet the banner is right there. So if they're not a sponsor, why are you deleting my posts? I wasn't cussing or bashing. I asked, "what other avenues do I have to get my money or proper seeds? Lawsuit? Well I guess that's a threat. BANNED. Can't even question or vent. Sometimes when people feel they've been robbed of hundreds of dollars, they can get a little accusational.
Anyways, I know this is a long thread, but I had to get it off my chest. I feel like I was brainwashed for several months. The environment was so overly happy and joyful, like stepford wives or something. It all revolved around kissing ass for free gear. Any little hint of a bad experience from a sponsor was immediately deleted and the user was banned.
So , this is my introduction, and you'll never read a rant again by mine hand. Only fat buds and serious grows and maybe an attitude here or there. So, happy growing all!
I need a shower.
