GreenHouse Seeds - poor seed germination

GreenRat said:

I do not store seeds, the ones I bought 4 years ago were all used then. None of the 5 Herers sprouted.
Two weeks ago I bought 10 Herers from them again, they all sprouted.
But the whole pack of 5 Lemon Skunk did not give any signs of life.
I understand that not every seed germinates, however, it cannot be that you buy a pack of seeds and they are all dead.
You buy again a few years later and again they are all dead. I like the prices of GreenHouse Seeds,
maybe I'll give them a chance again, especially since the recently bought more Herers all germinated after 24 hours and look very viable.

I don’t think people sell a lot of greenhouse seeds anymore. They end up sitting on old stock that doesn’t get bought. Probably old seeds the vendor ordered years ago. Fems?

When I first read this article, I wondered how it was possible that GHS has very good reviews among customers, and the author describes GHS as if it were some cheap weak manufacturer with problems. Indeed, it looks like an extremely perfidious attempt to slander a competitor, in a hidden way. I was fooled because my problems with the germination of GHS seeds coincided with the content of the article. I hope that I did not alienate anyone from GreenHouse Seeds, it was not my goal to slander the reputation of this manufacturer.

As for the errors in the germination, they are not possible, because I have been germinating hemp seeds for many years in various ways and I have never had such problems.

Feminized seeds. I found the packaging and order number, I will write to the store, we will see what they answer. I'll give them an ultimatum, get new seeds, or they'll lose a customer forever.

You want quality cheap fems than maybe try Ripper Seeds. Good reputation and I’ve smoked on a few strains my buddy has grown from them and I’m impressed.

Those mainstream banks have years old back logs of stock piled up in storage . When the re-seller buys stock to make profit , I do not think they will re-plenish old stock with more cash. Had it happen a few times from re sellers - they could be bleached from sitting there 10 years in the warehouse.

Last Christmas I bought GHS seeds in a 5+5 free promotion. In total €54 in seeds new releases. It took almost 2 weeks from Holland to Spain. I have been growing for many years and have never had germination problems. I put 5 to germinate and none sprouted. I did the same thing with 5 of another new strain and it didn't bud either. I complained to GHS and they sent me 5 and 5 replacements. Incredibly, none of the replacements germinated. 20 seeds thrown away.
In Europe, GHS had a good reputation for quality, but I think those were past glories. They are just good photos of plants not sprouting. I will never buy from them again. I use a translator. Sorry for the mistakes.
Greetings from Spain

Ghs ime is near 100‰ sprout rate, I say near as I can't think of any duds but I can't be 100%

This was without trying, they sprouted in the fridge after 5 months in storage. .

I steer clear of them - its what you get when the seeds have germinated and the plant grown that bothers me.

Lo siento pero no puedo creer que a 4°C las semillas de GHS germinen y no a 24° entre celulosa húmeda como otras semillas de cannabis.
Amigo, no tienes nunca, tienes una maquina de germinacion.
