DON'T BUY FROM THIS SCAMMER!
I had trouble germinating some seeds from them, and the guy was a super jerk about it. They have disclaimers on their site that say they don't guarantee germination. I wrote to tell him I was very disappointed, but wasn't going to ask for replacement seeds. He replied that he "would have" given me free seeds, but since I didn't want them, good luck to me. The conversation got nasty from there, including him blaming me for the seeds not germinating. I'm very experienced and wasn't having that.
I contacted FastBuds, the breeder of the seeds and they're replacing them all the way from Spain. Turns out Greybeard is not an authorized dealer. The guy just buys stuff in bulk, and probably doesn't take care of his stock.

Seedsman carries tut, and I'm pretty sure oaseeds does as well along with the rest of the pyramid stock both are more than reputable according to seedfinder and i know a lot who have recieved good seeds from them. I just mad e my first seedsman order the other day and I have full confidence in them.

I'm guessing feminizing spray is alright from greybeard though? It's made by crystal farms and has a pretty indefinite shelf life. Just as long as I get the stuff I paid for I'll be happy.

Try buying from a more trusted source. Don't expect to get what you paid for from Greybeard.

I've bought. He's fine. Buys in bulk from Seedsman. He charges going rates, shops priority mail for $5 and all my seeds from him germinated and are growing.
Forget his Facebook group. Admins are chickenshit kids

Didn't come here to argue. My experience with Greybeard was negative. He doesn't take responsibility for the products he resells, if there's a problem, because he has no relationship with the actual breeders. That's all.

Why buy from someone who doesn't have any representation from the breeder? Seedsman actually gets their seeds from the breeders, so why not order from Seedsman instead?

Bought some sensi star fems from him. One out of four were actually female..the others were male. I asked him about it he blocked me. Bought 3 packs of autos from his. At least one out of three were males or wouldn't pop. He sells crap genetics. You should read some of the responses when people confront him about his reggie seeds.

I ordered from seedsman and us customs seized the seeds. Scared to order from them again now after receiving us customs letterwith no seeds. Do you have experience with this? I want to order again but think I'll have to keep it in the us now

That is scary! I just put in my first order with Seedsman, so we will see what happens.
I have ordered from AMS (Amsterdam) and Crop King (Canada) several times each with no problems.
FastBuds (Spain) doesn't sell to the US, but Greybeard sold me some of theirs that were bunk. FastBuds actually replaced the seeds, but sent them in a sample of tea from a teahouse in Barcelona. The local post office made me go pick up the little package, for no apparent reason, which was kinda scary too.
Since this post was started about Greybeard, I will add that the FastBuds people are pissed at Greybeard Guy, and have been trying to track him down. He's not authorized to sell their products.

Pardon me, but it's rude of you to assume that the problem is mine. I have lots of experience with germination, and usually all my seeds germinate.
Also, don't assume that money is the object here. I don't believe I ever mentioned the expense.
There is no excuse for the guy's impolite customer service. I would rather he hadn't replied to me at all. Also, him saying that he would have replaced the seeds if I hadn't complained is a fault of logic, as well as rude. They guy is not a professional, that's the bottom line. He's a fly-by-night scammer.
I don't appreciate your ignorant comments. Perhaps you should look farther than the end of your own nose and see that other people have valid experiences in life, that can't just be negated by your casual, selfish douchbaggery.

Actually I'm trying to warn consumers, but thanks for blowing up all over this thread. FastBuds is cool by the way, never said anything against them.

It's worth noting at this point that this thread has been edited twice by the admins, because I have been attacked twice for my original post about Greybeard.
Literally, I have twice been inundated in hate speech by ignorant poeple who come along and think it's right to take over threads and deny people their right to speak. One of those haters was kicked off this site. Another is still lurking here.
I have turned email notifications off and doubt that I will reuturn to this site.

I had bought from greybeard back in the summer with mixed results...well, i went to the facebook auction saturday and the guy ended up being a complete fucking dick, stiffed me for a pack from the random number generator...fuck him. Turd goes by 4 fucking names and doesnt answer to any messages, then shoots off his fucking piehole (or online equivilent), and quick blocks me....lmao, fucking joke I guess
Ordered from Greybeard twice so far and got my beans in 5 days or less. All I can say is great shipping speed/service. So happy that I just placed another order for some feminized private label beans. I do not normally buy fem seeds but he had some 5 packs of some strains I want to try. Hope they are great, if so will buy more of his priva
