I'm almost positive that they are a second-tier reseller - meaning they either buy old stock from other banks and/or grow out their own beans to sell.
Again not positive, but I seem to recall people complaining about them.
I've ordered several varieties several times from them and have NEVER had a problem yet... although they may well be a second-tier... I'm not sure... but I've had success... what they say something is... to the best of my knowledge, it is.

Their Pure Afghani Kush & their Master Kush are top shelf grade...
They are "THE MOST" stealthy seed bank I have ever ordered from, I think they grow out their own seeds though...
But as long as they are pheno pickers they'll have good beans...
They also have a Buy One Get One Free on Nevilles Haze & Mazar...
I recommend them to everyone looking for legit but cheap beans...

I have a total newbe question:

You have a germinated seed via the wet paper towel method (i.e. the seed has cracked and the tap root is showing). The seed is place in a jiffy pot/pellet. At what point do you put it under light? Before or after the plant sprouts and shows it's cotyledons?

I have read through a few pages and I have a question to ask... and a fairly important one at that..

why grow autos when they cost more to grow?
why not grow a non auto plant and clone it and veg that for 14 days and flower for 56 days and have a bigger yield than auto plants.. not only that but you would save money doing this.

not sure how u get that autos are more expensive to grow... and not everyone has the space to grow photo plants, dont have to worry about changing light schedule that sortta thing

I read your previous thread when you grew out that plant and mossy was jacked about your grow. I was curious on how tight were your buds. I grew the purple jem last summer outside. Had about 15 plants. Grew a couple or the green pheno and several with varying shades of purple. They all smoked fine but were very fluffy with small calyx.
I was wondering if you had any input. I turned two of them into seed and was wondering if they are worth growing again. I just need to know I can get some beef out of them if I follow a better feeding schedule or if they are going to be airy by nature of the autoflower. Thanks

my guess is that these auto growers never had the thought passed their mind. You CAN veg a non auto plant 20/4 for 2 weeks and then flower it for 8 weeks. The funny part about this is that auto growers would yield the same amount or maybe less EVEN WHEN they use 20/4 light cycle for 8-10 weeks from seed.

auto guys - 20/4 for 8-10 weeks
non auto guys - 20/4 for 2 weeks and 12/12 for 8 weeks

both plants will grow around the same height and it takes about 2 weeks for an auto to flower so.. my question again, Why do people grow autos when they could grow a non auto plant and end up saving more money by using less light. Not only that, you can also keep clones from your non auto plants and once they root, you can veg them for a week and you would end up with the same yield ( probably more) than a non auto plant from seed.

I mean, the only reason I see to use auto plants is to grow them outdoors with 18/6 light but the silly part about that is you would get more yield by growing them inside with 20/4 BUT what is REALLY funny is that if growing inside, it would need 4 hours or darkness so there would be no point of growing autos inside as you get more bang for your buck if you grow a non auto plant.

There must be an advantage to autos that I am missing here because I see no point of growing it indoors or even outdoors... unless of course you want a higher light bill and lower yields.

I knew when I saw your "question" that you were just waiting with a smarmy, smart ass, know it all reply. That's why I didn't bother acknowledging your passive aggressive irksome presence. But it seems some one else took your bait so let me enlighten you. Autos make it simple period. It eliminates the need for 2 and sometimes 3 different grow spaces I can keep seedlings next to sticky buds in the same space. Can you harvest 2-3 ounces every week or two in a 3'x4' space with photo period plants. And I am sure you can't understand how some one growing outdoors would want smaller more concealable plants. Why would they want to crop out 2-3 months early? Who doesn't want to be out in the woods around fall when the law is in the sky more? And finally why did they have to make it so simple to grow them in comparison. Its almost as if they want more people to do it because of the simplicity. Not everyone wants to be a full time grower. One day maybe the laws will change and I can grow that twelve foot beauty I've had my eye on but until then I will be happy with my shorties and telling you that the way you think is the only way is really just your way and maybe not the best at that.
