If you are on instagram trying to grab seeds or clones stay far away from this guy. He will steal your money, ask for more time and eventually block you. Scam alert.

The problem with, and benefit to, InstaGram is the low barrier to entry. It is easy for anyone to make bold claims and sell the greatest product on Earth, or sling total garbage. IG makes it even easier to get ripped off!
People who start legitimate businesses, build their own websites, handle their own payments, et cetera, have skin in the game. No work involved on IG beyond a shitty logo and a few pictures. Goddamn shame so many people have lost the drive to have their own websites
Business owners: When you run your business on IG and Facebook, you are enriching their company’s platform and product, not yours. And now we are seeing how it is bad for the consumer, too. Use these platforms like the tools they are, don’t be used by them.
Consumers: Caveat emptor. Greasy bastards are on the make everywhere, make it hard to earn your trust.
I keep telling people this shit, in real life grown up business meetings and on silly weed fora, but the trend continues.
Can we go ahead and declare me the Eternal Emperor of the Extant Universe so I can fix everything? That’d be great, thanks.
I promise to have “Forbidden Genetics” exiled and/or executed.

I feel more and more like I miss the Euro seedbanks and a lot of the genetics. The hype cycle gets old, and even though there’s real fire in US genetics, the stability is lacking to say the least, and US seedbanks’ business practices seem shady as fuck at least 50% of the time. Considering another Herbie’s order pretty seriously, after two years dealing with domestics.Ya see this is what happens when you leave Herbies for some killer fire og alien megacrop super genetics from some dude who is some super hot shitstar grower been in the industry for thirty years....
Get ya ass back to Herbie and hope he accepts your apology

I wouldn't buy anything from someone on instagram. I've never even used it. What's the point? Plenty of legitimate seed banks out there. Why take the chance?
I've also never bought from a US seedbank even though I'm in the US. Most only have a cross of a cross crossed with another cross. I'm enjoying the Columbian Gold, Congo, Thai, and half a dozen of the other landraces I have in my jars waiting for me to smoke. Had to get the seeds from overseas. Never had a problem with any order.

I don't see why there's all the hate I have ordered multiple times and the last order took a while but I got it. Maybe message their support I'm sure they will help
