didn't you read their disclaimer? they WON'T discuss seed germination. they sell their seeds as collectables. the one time i got a crushed UFO, i told them that one of their freebies for my "trophy case" was crushed and they sent me 1 or even 2 replacements with the order i mentioned it in even though i said i wasn't heartbroken about it.
every time i see a rant about attitude, it's from a grower that tells them their beans didn't pop. i think if you you worded it differently eg. "my beans were damaged", you might have gotten different results as i've seen others claim.
for what it's worth, if you have trouble popping beans, try getting a humidity dome and heating mat. your room might just have been too cold. last year i had a bitch of a time popping EVERYTHING from everywhere including other seedbanks even within the same packs that were 100% just a few months before in fall. after i bought one, my success rate has climbed back up to nearly 100% with the only problem now being mold or drying out because i've been using tiny little cocoa coir pellets to cram as many as possible under the dome. i think that could have been the reason that neither i nor another member could get tiny mekong haze beans to pop. smaller beans take longer and sativas probably don't like the cold.
i'm sorry to hear about your loss, but the second you talk about growing... attitude's going to stop listening.
as to the "high off life" teeshirts, i'd trade most of the ones i've gotten for that. the only one i've really liked so far was the "fly high club" one. it isn't really about the tees though. it's more about not taking $100+ hits to one's wallet as happened to me with the last order i placed at doc's a few years back. i just use the tees around the house to catch whatever i'm eating leaned back in my chair.
