TGA Bait and Switch

Never previously oredered from Hemp Depot before but they were having sale on TGA gear and for 75 a pack I chose 4 packs. Received them this week and wondering if they are really TGA's or they just put random seeds in there. They we all in a small baggies seperated by strain(pretty sure I remember them being in little plastic vials previously) stapled to TGA cardboard not sealed or anything. Seems like it would be easy to switch seeds if this is how they come packaged. AM I worrying unnecessarily or did I get ripped?

Hemp Depot is a legit source. I think there was a shortage of vials for a short stint recently so some got put out that way, but that's just from what I remember other nerds saying (source unverified, lol)

i have purchased tga seed packs from michigan retail locations as well as from attitude seedbank (maybe 10 strains total?). my seeds have shown up in vials some of the time and little baggies other times. either way, i got dank plants that matched the strain descriptions. just chill and grow pot dude.

I know if you order the stealth shipping a lot of the time they will not be in their original packaging.

really? so your saying that a distributor orders a strain and they get it all in 1 bag and then they package them and raise the price accordingly?

is that why other places are charging over 100 bucks a pack and it comes in a vial?

Its Much more complicated than that but your not so far off the mark
Hempdepot dosn't run full page adds that cost 4k each month in every magazine and they don't except credit cards everyone provides a different service and he is old school and my Oldest distributor so you can deff trust in them. Places like attitude have huge over heads and there is also the fact that we don't have any influence on what distributors do with our gear once they own it.

I've ordered from Hemp Depot several times in the last 18 months and I've never received anything in a vial -- all small plastic baggies stapled to a TGA card for ID.

And while I would never be able to say for 100% certainty that the Jillybean seeds I received were, in fact, Jillybean, my guess is they were. They grew like Jillybean, looked like Jillybean, smelled like Jillybean, smoked like Jillybean and produced a high like Jillybean. So I'll say they're Jillybean. :)

I've had a couple of email conversations with the folks at HD, and they've always seemed very straightforward and easy to deal with, so until something changes my mind, they are my seed source.

NO ones switching anything not sure where that even came from.

Some over seas distributors use glass vials and some dont.

There 75 a Pack at Organicann why not take a Road Trip :)
