Growing a lone HSO blue dream right now. She is a beast. Hope to see them come out the other side of this

I have allot of their gear between ordering and freebies I just ordered a 10pk of Bubba's Gift. Got it as a freebie once and it is awesome. Tastes sweet and tropical and flowers at the speed of light. Going to run it in a SOG setup.

According to the article, those guys may be out of business for quite awhile. Hope not. I never understood why they didn't come back to USA after Cali went legal?

Wow thanks for the info I buy my seeds from a guy in Spain that deals with all the banks that were shut down (LaMota was also shut down in the article too) I just emailed him to see what was up with him.

So will Sweet Seeds, Samsara and others be shut down too? Like Boomer said move to California. Or Malheur County, Oregon.

According to my friend in Spain most of the other seed breeders are safe. He said that all the ones that were shut down were somehow related with their business practices. He actually knows his stuff so I think there is a little chance of more closures but not much.

They was all part of Lamota Seeds/Distributions, 12 people were arrested IIRC for money laundering, stealing electricity and other charges.
They had a collection of 20 million seeds worth 100 million euros so I think it's safe to say they got to big for their own good...

Spain is packed with seed companies for a reason, vastly cheaper to operate there. I'm sure these guys could afford to move to California but it would murder their profit margins. The hoops that California makes commercial growers jump through is almost as bad as prohibition, they just carved out a new business niche for the rich and corporations instead of creating a cottage industry that could have lifted thousands of small scale growers out of poverty.

Thank you Arkos Electricity is definitely much cheaper when you steal it and the police do frown upon it. That clears up why my buddy is not worried at all. lol

No worries sallygram, exactly that and smell is the usual way people get busted here. They all think it's still analog meters measuring their electric use and while that might be true for some parts of the grid the fact is they have installed thousands of digital meters here.

Check out these guys, why you would flower outside your house inside a village like that is beyond me but the plant sure looks spectacular... :eyesmoke:

Lmao, the reporter of this article has gotten some very bad information from the police as it is technically legal to grow marijuana here inside your house in small numbers, gray area bs...

this was only achieved with the entire Advanced-Nutrients-Sensi-Cal-Mag-Nutrient lineup

Does anyone know a website that sell HSO seeds now that they've been shutdown? Best seeds on the market imo.
I've only seen Humboldt seeds company but HSO came out with a message warning about them and were very clear that they don't have anything to do with that company.
