I had the same issue with that company along with all the companies to be honest. I have bought seeds from at least six different seed banks. Every time I get seeds from every seed bank that I order from at least half of the seeds do not sprout or germinate. Then you have to go through hell trying to get your seeds replaced as they think you are stupid and do not know how to grow or germinate seeds. These companies make you jump through hoops before they want to replace the garbage seeds that they send you. I spent over $300 on seeds through the i49 seed bank, I ordered 30 auto flower seeds as I bought a packet that contained several different varieties of seeds. And out of the 30 seeds I bought only eight germinated and sprouted. I also bought four seats of regular marijuana seeds and out of the four Moby Dick seeds that I bought only two germinated and sprouted. Right now this company i49 is making me jump through hoops as they are telling me I need to send them pictures of how I germinate my seeds and then how I transplant the germinated seed into my growing medium. I have been growing for over 30 years and I know what I'm doing. If I didn't need the seeds then I wouldn't be buying from these companies it's just a shame that other people on this form experience the same thing that I do. These companies I believe are doing nothing but sending out old seeds and that's why they do not germinate and it does not matter how long you soak them in water the seeds are dead that they are sending us!!
