My bad experience with a local MMJ wholesaler :-(

Currently I have a few of these strains in my garden and for me to be supportive of anyone, I have to be "ok" with what kind of person they are. Hell I can throw charity anywhere, but I'm talking about true support. Yeah, I like that JTR and even thought I may be finding a standing spot for that Querkle too, all the more reason for me to have higher standards for whoever is behind those genetics. It appears this TGA place got too big for their britches. Obviously some of those success funds should have been diverted to hire a Real Customer Service Representative.

As a business owner, it's pretty damn difficult to forget that All of Your Customers are on your same team, ALL OF THEM. Now when both parties are completely clear about that, then it makes it so much more difficult for either party to fuck each other. The owner of tga was out-of-his-depth trying to deal with this customer service concern. I haven't even begun to tally up how much loot I've thrown away in tga beans... the upside is that this whole pathetic scenario will save me a lot of dough, or at least I will direct all my recommendations and earnings towards a more deserving breeder!

It's not the genetics fault, I must remember that. So I think I'll keep the strains around and go forward by relabeling or "rebranding" them if you will. Is there an ethics problem with this concept? Who the fuck cares after we see how TGA treats it's own customers. I can go even further and commence with knocking-off all the TGA strains I have in cold storage, rename them and begin to hand them out for free over the next decade. And the whole while peeps get the full story.

At this time, I have live cuttings of Jack Ripple, Quirky Bud and Fukishima. Soon I should have Cheese Queen and Bipped Bubba. Just going to throw-away plushberry and ace of spades. Early in 2013 I should have a few other strains that I will run large seed crops of and commence to give-away at farmers markets.

This whole deal could end up saving Michigan Medical Growers plenty.

This will be my method of saying, Fuck You, you no longer get my business. Have a nice day! :leaf:

I am offing my TGA bean collection, selling by books and jars. Fuck TGA!:finger:. I executed my Chernobyl's in veg earlier. (Even though Dioxide was breeder). I will however keep my two in bud room. (I am not THAT crazy. lmao). I thought about using his stock for breeding, but it isn't even fucking worth it.

I need another high THC-V strain.
since sub just popped up on another site maybe those who are wondering what to do with his gear should drop some freebies???? just sayin

Wow I found this while searching "TGA a scam". LOL I will stay away from his strains and put him in the same boat for customer service as potpimp and swerve.

The fact he deletes post is enough to stay away. Thanks Sub!! Save me loads of headache.

No Thoughts here about about the future of tga genetics, at least here in Michigan...

However -for the record- Bobcat Goldthwait is alive and well. You may believe he's dead because he doesn't get much work anymore (actually, i believe he 'Directs'). He also lost all his hair and you may not recognize him. I saw him at a small comedy club in Lansing with a few buds last year and that guy is still hilarious. Also a likable, modest, down to earth family type of guy too! That kind of quality entertainment is still out there, we just have to keep our eyes opened. And that show only cost me about 2 or 3 seeds for admission.

I would suggest clones only. Team Green Avengers all over the internet offer a wealth of info that cannot be denied. This is great strain specific education that especially noob growers can benefit from. I think if we just discourage gear purchases we will send the message to the right folks.

Why didn't this happen to begin with before everything went south.. I hope this teaches them both a little about customer service.

This could have easily been a big gold star for sub having people say, yeah they fucked up my order but immediately made it right, but this whole deal was handled the wrong way, even though they are finally making it right.

Now instead of people thinking he made it right because he has a sincerity for his customers, it looks more like he's trying to save face.
 
sub is a business, the business of making money by selling his stuff on the net. I follow him and got a book and a shirt and some seeds, but dont think its about anything more than money cause its not.

Personally I stuck up for Sub through this, sent him two personal pms, BEFORE baiting him on weed nerd thread. Then he acknowledged problem, then got really stupid. I asked a few times if he would simply look into problem. That you weren't a kid on mom's computer. The way Sub handled this was pathetic. Not one single person who read those posts on weed nerd, believed he was in the right. Total fucking bullshit to talk down to you, after he was told you were a fan of his and a US veteran. Fuck Subcool, that was some punk ass shit. As for Scott, that would have deserved a standing ovation several days ago. Still, thank you for doing the right thing.

TheMan!!! That is why they call you The Man!!!! Way to stand up for yourself bro. Can't wait to roll down and smoke a fattie with you brother.
