Damn man, I almost got upset at your blame the breeder thing. Then I thought, " hey he's right it is my fault, I am the idiot". Though, you were being nice to begin with and meaning blame those damn seed makers.
Ya know I think they all just use that gibberellin to force the plants to seed. Which to me is not a quality seed. I forced seeds before but I did it by light stressing. I just would run the lights on for 4 hours off for 3, on for 10, off for 2, on for 2 off for 2, on for 12 off for 12, on for 12 off for 12, on for 4 off for 4... Just random ass light schedule. They hermi'd.
I tested them after and they have all been female with absolutely no seeds. I was skeptical that it would work at first but, now I have proof.
So, I gave away like 50 of them to family and friends and just asked if they would report back to me if they get a hermi or a male or just females. So far 2 say only females. I am waiting on the fall harvests to find out if this is a 100%.

I ordered a batch of autos from herbies for a quick run ijn between new grows in oct. I germinated one fine BUT its not the auto it suppose to be. She is growing amongst my phenos who are 5 weeks into flowering now. The auto is a supersonic cristal storm from samsara seeds and she sprouted from the coco on the 6th of july. By end of July she was still growing really slowly and becasue of my phenos i had to switch to 12/12. I dont know about you guys but i know this should have been the last week of flower and should be nearly ready. After 4 weeks 12/12 its just now decided to start showing pre flowering. I also tried to sprout some la diva that i got from herbies and it was a dud.
I am running 2 400W HPS in a medium growing size. All my other girls had no issues and going to schedule.
I am not putting the blame solely on herbies but could it be a possibility they are not be careful with the seeds they are sending? I know they separate them from the breeder packs for extra stealth..but anything could happen on their end and we, the buyers, are going on trust factor because seed distributors put the blame always back to the seed company and somehow absolve themselves of responsibility if the product doesnt work. They only offer a replacement service if your order does not get through.

I agree, they could be fondling them or whatever else could possibly happen.
Though, I did write them because I wasn't pleased with the sluggish growth and that some didn't germinate that I did properly. I mean, I have always soaked like crazy and never had any issues. Though these needed tender loving care to get them going.
So in response to my email, they said they can't send me what I had ordered due to not having a direct link with the breeders.
Though they said I can have this months freebies, 5 Delicious Critical Super Silver Haze, 5 World Of Seeds Amnesia and 5 World Of Seeds Afghan Kush Special. There on their way.

Be very polite and tactful. My email read like I was the Queen of England herself. I explained that my SOUVENIRS were not COLLECTABLE. They had failed the requirements set fourth by seed collectors. Something like that should help them understand what the deal is. Make sure if your a repeat customer to let them know, and if not just let them know if your a first time customer.
Remember, they are a wholesaler not the breeder like *Pass it Around* stated earlier in the thread.
I have since decided to order with the breeder pack intact and got me some Green House Seeds, they are on their way also, two 5 packs of Indica Variety Pack I . (Actually the tracking said they have just cleared customs.

Yeah i have never had any issues when i received the breeder pack hence why i am suspicious of the way they handle the beans. I think i am going to now order just a few top line beans and breed seeds myself. At least the fuck ups all mine and if done right you will have a lifetime worth of seeds to pick from, provided you store them well.
Also the price of seeds is crazy.

Here are more pics of progress that I am having from the seeds from Herbies... Well, some are clones... but you get the idea. The new seeds finally are working and I only had like two survive from the first batch.
Oh, and by the way, the seeds from Green House Seeds were much larger than those from the other seed producers (almost double in size, they look like normal sized seeds unlike the ones Herbies has been sending me). Makes me feel confident things will go well with those also.
If you alla re wondering why I have small fem's in the flower room, it's because I have to get them to finish before December because the wife decided that we are going on vacation then. So, I will start back up after vacation with the Green House Seeds.

Shit, one more for the road!
Here is a bud shot from October 15 ( I sprayed Jasmonic Acid on them on the 20th of October)
This was yesterday OCT 24th! Check out how much the trichomes increased. Trust me it only took a few days to do this but I finally took pictures yesterday. I would suggest not to due this until it's the last week because it may retard growth.
Jasmonic acid is safe to use but since it makes the plant think harm is coming it's way, it could retard growth like I said. I only did it half way through as a test.
Yes, it is the same plant, just a different camera and light. I was using my iPhone on one and my Canon Eos on the other. You can tell a Canon is superior to the crappy iPhone camera.

Herbie came through big time. They gave me a couple options, but I decided on the seeds. Today (ten days after I got green taped) they landed in my mailbox.
I don't see any reason to shop anywhere else. They were very prompt, and communicated well through the entire process. As long as everything is what they say (which I highly expect them to be), they have me as a customer for life.

The thc bomb, ww x bigbud, cotton candy, are good. Even the Hawaiian skunk haze is good.

DO NOT TRUST ANY MEMBER WITH FEW POSTS OR REPUTATION THAT CRITICIZE SEED CO's (especially Herbies)

I would have to assume it was just a bad batch... Possibly damaged by poor shipping... Or method was off.
Over 1000 seeds ordered and maybe 10 were failures
And i account that to my methods

I am so pissed of with herbies. What a shit run of seeds they sent me. I bought $250 bucks worth of seeds (mostly autos) and only 2 germinated and out of those 2 one was a very tiny yield (9 grams pfffffft i used a 16 litre pot ffs) and the other ended up being some weird hybrid auto which took 3 months to grow and had a very low potency almost to the point you needed to smoke 7 cones to get a buzz.
Most of the seeds were tiny..so small they looked like tomato seeds. I cracked one open as it didnt do anything and it was empty inside as it had dried out ffs!
I know its not my method of germinating as the non herbie seeds i had left all germinated successfully...but the ones from herbies were a massive failure. What a waste of fucken money!
I dont know what is going on with seed banks but this industry is out of control with no regulation. The amount of money they are making on a trust based system is absurd and i have noticed they have wised up and are not offering normal seeds as much as they were a few years ago due to people just breeding their own.
