I do live in Nor Cal myself (born and raised in Portland though), so I do actually see Mendo's bud and it's pretty decent quality. I believe you on the seeds, but they clearly smoke a shit load and probably aren't the highest educated people. People with a higher education or IQ level tend to think of those types of things, ie. quality control. This guy is probably just trying to push products as fast as he can to make cash, which okay I get it, but if that's your plan than you need to think of your consumers before yourself. It's like having a guest walk into your house and not offering them something to drink or showing any signs of hospitality. It's just rude, and it makes you bitter towards that person. Something I've noticed with a TON of you guys (not all, but some) have the BIGGEST heads I've ever seen. It's like seriously? We're growing a plant, it's really not that hard nor is it anywhere near as complicated as computer programming, engineering or anything to that degree.
Here's a short clip of the new growth over the past few days, you can also see i transplanted to fabric pots.
