Please read! Herbies head shop!

[thenotsoesoteric]

Sent my western union money order on 7/3, herbies received it and shipped order on 7/8, it got to LA ISC on the 7/9, passed through on 7/12. hopefully will be arriving to destination today or tomorrow. Hopefully green tape free! But so far herbies has been phenomenal. I mean ten days for a money order! So yeah; big bump in herbies direction so far.

Ten Days! I dropped my money order to herbies in the PO drop box at 3 pm on 7/3, and got my seeds(no green tape) at 3pm on 7/13. Ten days;from US to UK back to US. Herbies has been the fastest I have ever tried, plus 8 free beans to boot. Even with a credit card at the attitude it still took 2 weeks. Heads up though if you send a money order, send it registered mail, that way you can track it on it's way to the UK if you want. I didn't need it. Jam on.
Go get your beans on, just send me a few. LOL. Hope this helps anyone curious about the MO option.

I placed an order with Herbie's on the evening of 7/11. Got my gear this morning (7/16). That's five days to the midwest. And two of those days were the weekend. I ordered 9 beans & got those and 8 freebies. I'll use them again.

ordered wayyyy before the 4th and still no luck here. royal mail says the its in the US and USPS says origin is preparing post. I'm sure i just gotta wait it out a bit longer and it will be good, i hope ole customs man isn't takin his time with it.

 

[raiderman]

most of my orders are 2 weex avg.tracking is always 3 days behind,maybe this week.

I know this thread is a couple months old, but I assure you, Herbies Head Shop in NOT a SCAM. They have been expedient, their shipping techniques/stealth can't be beat, they respond quickly to emails and their selection is great. Sorry, but the OP on this one is wrong. My two cents~

I certainly hope you're right about Herbie's. I just placed an order this past Saturday. I had ordered from attitude in October, with a resend in November. Both are sitting in Chicago's ISC. When I made my Herbie's order, I checked the shipping option that allows me to track my package. However.......When I got their email saying my order has been dispatched, they wrote this:

"Unfortunately due to current problems with tracked mail not arriving we have sent your package by standard Airmail, this does not affect your guaranteed delivery and your package is fully insured."

I had this order shipped to a different address. With 2 packages already seized, (and in case they have the previous address "on file"), I'm hoping this one will sail through.... My fingers, toes and any/all other body parts are crossed for this one....lol

Woah!!! dont get down on herbie. that is all i use and i heve never had any problems and i have had way better results with online seeds than i thought i would.

I'm not getting down on Herbie's. I ordered from them BECAUSE I've heard good things about their stealth and customer service.

I ordered on the 2nd. Got a confirmation email on the 3rd. Received my package on the 8th. I didn't get time to worry or cross my fingers and toes before stuff arrived.

The only issue is I ordered HeavyWeight Seed Co. Fruit Punch FEM. They sent me 5 of those and 2 free Skunk Haze Regular and 1 Royal Queen Critical FEM. Of the 5 I purchased only one germinated. All the 3 free ones germinated also. I am kind of OK because at least the one Fruit Punch that germinated is a beast. It Popped out of peat pellet in about 72 hours. I at least have that one and will have to wait to clone it.

[BDOGKush]

^^Do some of these look a little fishy to anyone else?? LOL!

Yes, I always raise an eyebrow at people who make an account to make a single post about how great/bad something is and then disappear.

Ahaha I didn't even notice how old this thing is.

I've had fairly poor results from all of my Herbies orders. I have since switched mostly to the single seed centre. Attitude kind of sucks because their shit gets napped by customs constantly.

I had a bad batch of 50 Rapid Rooters...wasted some White Label seeds. Put the rest in some Happy Frog and all sprouted. That was the 5th and last time I used any plugs of any kind.

I am starting to wonder if mine are somehow "bad." I used to not have any issues cloning, but the last few batches they have taken up to 3 weeks to root and only about 75% survived. How do you know something is wrong with your rapid rooters? What signs to look for?

I am wondering the same thing.
I ordered 5 LSD FEM, 5 Critical Kush FEM, and got several free seeds (2 Northern Light x Big Bud Auto FEM , a few Skunk, and 1 free FEM of something else I can't recall right now).

I put 1 LSD and 1 Critical Kush in wet paper towels, they cracked open with about a 2-4 mm tail. I then placed in damp soil, waited and two days later, they came up out of the ground. Then they didn't grow for several days and started looking sickly.

So, I tried again the other day, (2 of each strain) this time I did half in RO water, and half in distilled, half in paper towel and half in cups of water.
Also, I have used Foxfarm Ocean forrest, Happy Frog, Miracle grow seedling soil, and straight perlite to transfer into...
So far nothing has sprouted out. It has been 2 days since transfer.
If these don't function as advertised, and Herbie's is unwilling to make up for bad seeds, then of course I take my business back to Nirvana seeds and bash them on every board on the internets.

The only seeds from Herbies to actually take off so far! Northern Light x Big Bud Auto (the free seed!!!). I used distilled, a paper towel, and transferred to FF soil. The picture was taken a few days ago. I have since topped her.
I have never grown Auto before so this will be exciting!

FYI: the walls are not PEG board now, I covered them in poly white the other day and also ordered up a 600watt digital ballast and Nikko 600 watt HPS bulb. In this pic she's under a 400 watt digital with a 400 watt HPS EYE Hortilux Super bulb.
I never use metal halides, I think it's a waste of money because I have never seen a difference in VEG. Though I would use my T5 8 bulb 4 footer, but I gave that to my step son to use. (He lives in a Medically Legal state)
Also I have a portable 8,000 BTU A/C unit in the room.

Tried again with dryer soil and it went fine. Also, did a few in rapid rooters.
