Seedsman Seeds - BAD experience

I grew 2 strains from Royal Queen Seeds. OG Kush and Skunk XL. Well they got the XL right. Both strains were WTFK (Who the fuck knows) but they just kept on stretching, stretching and stretching. I cut the tops of them so many times I couldn't tell you. After 3 and a half months with nothing to show but tiny little buds the size of a babies fingernail I ripped them out and fed them to the lawnmower. Fuck Royal Queen Seeds as a breeder unless you want to make rope. Waste of 1000 dollars in power bills plus muted and effort. These eastwards should be accountable. Not just "Sorry, we'll send you some freebies next order". That shit doesn't cut it. I'm on writing this so others out there can make an informed buy coz these beans aren't cheap. What they show you are going to get and what you really get are completely different. The 1 pic is what all 6 looked like b4 I ripped them. 3 months on flower. Since early December. Yesterday I threw my hands in the air and mowed the lawn with them as well

Why anyone would order from Spain or Amsterdam or anywhere outside the USA if you live here is beyond me? Way better American seed banks that won’t just give seeds in a package to be “skunk” or “og kush” and waiting a month or longer for any issue to be resolved is lame. If ur from Mercia order from Mercia

Which US seed bank has good selection of popular breeders that's not geared towards commercial or a ripoff or Only carries Regs? I don't wanna pay more for bigger pack seeds (for some reason local banks dont have the smaller 3 packs?), and a higher shipping (free/$8 tracked from Spain while most US I see is 10 bux).

Don’t think you can go wrong with

Great Lakes genetics
Dc seed exchange
jbcseeds.com
I’ve used seedcellar Because they are in Michigan and I can just drive and get my seeds and not wait on the mail... now the shipping and the 3 seed pack stuff I can’t really help with, Personally if I had a issue or didn’t receive the seeds or the amount of seeds I should have, waiting another 3-6 weeks to get ur seeds would suck. Getting things handled in a timely matter would be enough for me not to use overseas sites.

Why would anyone want to buy from Spain or Amsterdam? Because some damn good genetics come from there. Cannabiogen, ACE, Sensi, Dutch Passion, all are based in Europe and have quality genetics. Too many of the newer US banks are selling pollen chucks. Heck, they probably got their genetics from Europe to begin with. Plus I'm not paying the $20+ a seed many of these US banks are charging.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying seeds from overseas. I have never purchased a single seed from a US breeder or seed bank. I'm sure that many are very good but sorting through all the garbage is a crapshoot. I'll stick with breeders that have been around for a long time with a history not just a cool name and packaging. I've spent thousands of dollars on seeds over the last few years and am extremely satisfied with just about everything. They all came from overseas. I'm not taking a gamble on some huckster that made a few pollen chucks and gave them some ridiculous name.

Don’t think everyone is pollen chucking just like a lot of people complain about the genetics they get from American breeders shoot look at that dudes plant a few post up those looks like hemp or idk what the hell that is. Ur right there is a lot of legit breeders acrossed the pond just like here in the USA. Think customs and the longer wait what always made stay away. Like I said if I’m missing some seeds from a American breeder I can have it within a week not a month or longer.

Yea, no way that resembles OG... that sucks man
I left one outside. This is what it looks like. Here in Oz, April (Easter) is what's referred to as Hippy Christmas. Though even this one is not performing. I had a Bubblegum outdoors in the same spot last year and by this time it had chunks growing. I say again. Avoid Royal Queen Seeds. Frigging ripoff

James bean seed company, they will have the beans at your door in under 6 days.

I tried some local auto breeders 4 fun they were all cool.
JBS has some pretty good breeders but they're all relatively expensive compared to spanish seed banks.

That sucks man. Had a sort of the same experience. I got my order in the end but the freebies weren't included. Missed out on around 15 beans. Customs nabbed them. I was told to wait weeks (just in case). Well after 6-7 weeks they resent the order but I've totally missed my spring window by a few weeks now. I just threw a bit of this and that in to get me by but the purchased ones I was relying on will have to wait until after our summer cools to go in. Mine wasn't Seedsman but Hazeio. I still think these guys handle fresh product or smoke up before packing orders. It only takes 1 sniffer mutt and there goes your money. Guess it's the price you pay for dealing with smokers
That’s crazy man. I ordered some Frisian DuckFoot
And Banana blaze from Dutch Passion Seeds through Seedsman on the evening of the 1st of 2nd of April (this month) and got a email within two hours of order placed
They even gave us 8 extra Feminized seeds with the order!
3 Gelato OG, 3 blueberry and 2 meringue!
All went well they sent that first email and
With order number and steps to follow with everything for tracking once I got the next email.
Then they sent emails every stage through the shipping.
I was impressed and satisfied.
But I have bad luck with Gro Green Michigan!?
Hydroponic store
Ordered 80 $ worth of Adavcned nutrients through them on like the 8th or something like that
Got a order confirmation email but no tracking number on the email
Figured it was being shipped and then send a email when it was shipped with a tracking number
Nope
Called them yestarday because i got the seeds
And they came from much farther than the Nutes had to come lol and still had t heard anything
And they told me
“There was an error In The shipping and it was returned and refunded.”
I asked what we could do about it
He said you’ll have to try again and just hung up.
I havent got the money back yet or a email.
Refuse to order through them anymore
But it seems every where I go online whether it’s google, eBay, or amazon
They come up :finger:
Frustrating to say the least
Sorry to here about your bad luck with seeds man and I hope they made it right..
