i don't get people saying it's a "bad deal". it's not a "deal" it's a "promotion" for "free stuff". attitude's appeal has nothing to do with their prices or freebies, it's about the wide selection of genetics under one umbrella that ship wherever you need them. if they suck so bad just shop elsewhere. "this company gives out this and that company gives out that"...so what's the problem? shop at those places then.
i have never ONCE based a seed order on some goofy freebies that are usually unstable crap from some pollen chucker i've never heard of. i have a drawer full of auto freebies that i have no interest in growing. more of my freebies have been duds or herm than beans from a breeder's pack.
on the other hand i can see how this particular promotion pales in comparison to some previous ones, but really i think everyone needs to get over it. no one is entitled to free seeds just because attitude is expensive. no one is forcing you to shop there.
