Has Anyone Complained to a Seed Company about Duds?

[Illegal Smile]

Just wondered if anyone has complained to a seed company about duds and gotten any response. I accept a dud now and then but when the price of the seeds is very high and the dud rate is too, that's an issue. Attitude says they won't respond to emails about cultivation so I wonder if they would even answer.

Well I was talking to YourLocal420 about his issues with many duds from Attitude, and if I'm not mistaken, he tried contacting them several times, and basically they told him to fuck off.

Not sure, i would like to know this also.

i got a few seeds from attitude.

they seemed so small.. like.. half the size of a normal seed.. i hope their fine. ( they are mature for sure, they just seem so small )

i will find out in a few day's.

im sayin i have no problems with attitude so far. there shipping was so fast... seeds looked perfectly healthy, except for their size. but if i get an arsnal of duds..... ill never order from them again..

I complained to nirvana about duds. they said they were gonna send me new ones. instead they sent me a letter saying my seeds were confiscated which is complete bullshit. my package was never opened by customs.

I complained to Dr Chronic about seeds arriving cracked and they told me to contact the breeder, Nirvana. Nirvana sent me a free 5 pack to replace the cracked ones. It was pretty cool of them. I imagine they get 150+ claims per day of orders that never arrived, or bad germ rates or arriving damaged. They cant just send free seeds to everyone who asks for them, so I expected them to say no. I think the reason they did replace mine was cause I presented a copy of my order with the email and I was polite and respectful and not demanding.

I did the same thing. never lost my cool was always polite. and i didnt ask for a replacement. they offered!

its a sketchy business for sure, that why i always order regular seeds and keep one male going long enough to seed one female. In a couple years time I will have a pretty impressive stock of seeds of my own. That being said, i hope you get some satisfaction, i have always heard Attitude is decent about making up for duds. good luck.

Actually who I would expect to do something is the seedbank, Reserva Privada, not Attitude. I asked for them in breeder's packs, Attitude had nothing to do with the viability of the seeds. I have written to Reserva Privada. I'll report back if I get an answer. By the way, seeds I have gotten from Attitude from different seedbanks have been fine.

i actully got a free seed from attitude from reserva privada ( kept in breeder pack )

its one of the only seeds im doubting.. ( 1 thai super skunk looks a bit immature )

but both of them were freebies.. as long as what i paid for goes nice, im happy

never had to bitch about the beans, but yeah if i ever have a problem (which ive had) i let them know strait away. just don't be a smart ass and if you come from the heart ya never know ya may get lucky.

though ya gotta remember there are things that are outta there control. be fair.
germination rates, male to female ratios, fall into this categeory as theres room for error on your behalf too. though we all know germing seeds isnt hard lol. basically if you had a couple in a ten pack as duds leav it be (unless you can guarantee you didnt fuck something up) SHIT HAPPENS assholes cause it.

though if say over half didnt germ its time to complain.

but again there are things they arent responsible for and cant be held liable for. again BE FAIR remember without them most people would have no hope and no medacine.

anyhoo theres my two bob lol.

peace out

Lol... Sorry but... what is a DUDS ? Lol

Basically a seed that doesn't germinate, or doesn't sprout.

I do not know if it would work in your case but I have managed to ask a question or two that if directly asked would never have been answered but through a creative choice of wording my question was made clear and a reply that was equally or even more so disconnected from anything that might be considered to be even just somewhat questionable being involved when read using the same thought process filter held a clear answer.
　
As for Attitude itself and the viability of any breeder’s gear, if there are consistently poor quality, not an occasional bad pack because that can happen with any breeder, but proven poor performance of course that breeder’s line should be avoided (not saying that is the case or not in this situation) but any real blame should be place where it belongs, at the feet of the breeder and not the seedbank. Far to many people either combine the two or confuse the two, or maybe both. They are separate businesses doing business with each other so one can then do business with you.
　
Someone may want to say that any business that sells any product should stand behind it and rectify any possible problems but due to the nature of this particular product and all that factors in from its creation to use much cannot be discussed without there being some legal issues brought into play so to a point every seedbank’s hands are tied.
　
I think a few shady ones will abuse that and use it as a shield to hide behind but Attitude is not one of them. They provide access to a product that is not legal everywhere and in some places it is only partially legal and even then in some places only to a very small degree based on just ownership but not any actual usage so they can and will do what they can when they can but a lot can ride on what you say or asked, how you word it and if a satisfactory and totally legally safe reply can be made it will be. If not, you will not hear back.
　
That does not mean bite me buddy, tough luck. It means because of some constraint or constraints they were unable under the current conditions and situation to assist you.
　
And you might just get a nondescript basic reply referring to nothing at all you mentioned with a code to use that will credit you at least some amount on your next purchase. I have heard of that happening. It may be for the full price of your failed purchase and it may be for some small percentage but at times a little bit is better than nada.

you do know you dont have to buy the expensive ones to ensure quality huh?

the only reason some of the other strains are cheaper is because they have had there time and something new has to be in the lime light.

anyways the bloke speaks the truth. well from the parts i could understand that is (dont worry puffster i dont make sense a lot of the time too lol but the theorys there)

thats why i said ya gotta come from the heart and be honest.. and dont try to fuck them over by showing them DUD seeds they will know. he raised a good point they get loads of bullshit all the time and it shouldnt be that way. it only fucks it up for the people that really do deserve/need it.

Basicaly as said before if your cause is just try its all ya can do. but dont be bitching about stupid shit or go around lying theres people that really need it.

anyhoo hope al goes well for you though and sorry to hear about your probem.

peace out

I have said that same basic thing many times. There are strains that to many here seem to be old and obsolete and outdated and because of they the new ones have to be better so the old ones drop in sales and also over time in price but their genetic quality has not dropped, they are still as good today as they ever were and much to the amazement of some they can be as good to even way better than the hot ticket flavor of the month that most everyone is drooling over.
　
The other one is newer strains that just are not yet well known or may have been around a while but while still very good sound reliable strains never hit the top three so they never gained the recognition they deserve or the following that should go with it so their prices are low.
　
Some people are only out for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride but if someone has a specific need or purpose or just preference to fill and that is their main, number one and only goal there are some really good deals to be found and some include some in the very lowest levels of pricing and many in the lower middle to upper middle pricing range.
　
You do not have to pay through the nose to get something you actually need though it is likely in many cases you may have to pay through the nose to get something you only want.

Let me clarify that I would not normally pay what I did for these seeds but you don't find what purports to be genuine OG Kush every day. And, I really don't expect anything from either Attitude or Reserva Privada but I wrote the same thing to both, basically saying I have never seen a failure rate this high, and that I am very disappointed. That's all.

If they ignore it I will forgive Attitude because I have had such success with them in the past and because it isn't their product. If Reserva Privada doesn't answer at least, human nature dictates that once burned twice shy, and I would not buy their seeds again. Of course every seedbank has some growers not buying their seeds, but that's their business problem not mine. Obviously we all will buy products that work better for us.

I had a lot of trouble germinating AK-48 and Master Kush seeds from Attitude. The response I got from them is the seeds are "NOT" supposed to be used for growing plants so that was money down the drain.

 

[THE PIRATE]

Ive had emails from Attitude saying if i sent for seeds from them they are sure i would enjoy my experience with them, i think they just play it cool as they never know who they are talking too online with emails.
I did call PUKKA seeds one time to complain cos i got 7 results from 10 abut 2 were male, the guy was very cool on the phone and sent out over $300 worth of good beans but he did look to see i had infact made many orders from him the past and was not just chancing my luck, he sent out good stuff.
But do we really know what we are getting ? ive grew shit many times and they all look different and they are meant to be the same strain, but the leaves and height and bud are all different, are the people who make up the packets of seeds always going to be 100% ? or just like us are they also a bunch of stoners ???
