Re: 1st Grow - Alaskan Thunderfuck x4 - Durban Poison - Blue Kush & Blueberry In Kind
Wow. What a harvest! I know I came at the end but I can't wait till your next grow! You have great great genetics you just got in! I didn't know Nirvana had Blackberry last I checked they didn't but I haven't in some time.
Thank you also for the MTF info. I have been looking for the indica version of MTF and haven't had much luck finding that and G13 among many Afghanicas. So I have a question quickly about the overseas seedbanks if you don't mind. I have used Herbies mostly for quite some time. Herbies and rarely Nirvana we're my go to banks. When I found my most desired '86 Afghanica Williams Wonder available I freaked...but couldn't use herbies. They stopped CC payments. I won't use bitcoin or bank transfer. Too much fees as I spend extra like you for peace of mind and stealth. Company I tried and had a GREAT experience with sent me a make your own super bouncer ball. Fun!
I have been leery of Seedsman because of their lower grade genetics they use for their imitation crosses and lower quality breeding plants aka what make their genetics cheap. As well as iffy reviews and how bad the unreleased seedsman Afghani I got from Herbies before they stopped CC. I found a diff breeder with my prized strain Williams Wonder so I ordered that right away! One of my 2 free seeds was a Seedsman Mazari Fem(I don't like fem but ah well) and RQS Special Kush #1. I liked the place I used as the freebies we're also in 1 seed breeder packs also not in little baggies with a bland name tag no seal. But as you support seedsman I need to know something...
Do they take CC from US buyers? I couldn't believe when what I was after was still available when I saw their site.
If you HAVE to send em cash or money order what's the turnaround like? By turnaround I mean time till they generally receive and how long it takes after they send for you to receive them. Do they give you tracking? Seedsmans list of breeders is sad bit I like hearing they added 8 more. I'd like to know about using them as I like their breeder packs and it's good to know they are legit.
Very impressive order and current collection of genetics! I will definitely be following your next grow. I am not a sativa user ever but I respect em.
Keep on Keepin On and Have a Dank day!!
Hey Weednerd! Thanks for stopping in and for the kind words. Ok so for your comments and question on Seedsman. First off I love that site. I have looked at almost all the overseas seedbanks and in my opinion, their selection and prices are better than almost all the other seed banks. As for Seedsman's actual genetics....I can only go off the Blueberry I grew. It wasn't extremely impressive in Veg, but it flowered better than I thought it was. And a 1 sample size is tough to judge, so I will have to reserve judgement for later. I will say that it out yielded the Blue Kush which I thought was going to be the biggest yielder.
As for Seedsman taking credit cards, yes they do, but they do put a fee on them. But the way I look at it is that they tend to offer up more freebies than most of the other sites if you order smartly. I like to watch for the promotions for certain seed banks. Sometimes I end up getting more freebies than the seeds I actually order. Like right now, I have in my cart.....an order for 5 Carnival seeds from Ministry of Cannabis, and 2 Mandarin Haze seeds from Ministry of Cannabis, so for that order, I have 8 freebie seeds.....4 White Widow freebies from Ministry of Cannabis, 2 Jack Herer from Seedsman and 2 Amnesia Haze by Royal Queen Seeds. So to me, when I pay by credit card and have that fee, its offset by the freebies I get.
And sometimes I will do Bitcoin because you can get an additional number of freebies. Like with the order I stated above, if I used bitcoin....with that selection, I would get 8 auto freebies (which I don't really grow autos....I am a control freak and want to control the plant, not the other way around) and 5 more White Widow Fem seeds. But since the freebies are autos, I will probably not use BitCoin.
Overall, I love the service from Seedsman. I think 8 days from shipment notification (10 days overall from when I placed the order) is the longest I have taken to get any of my orders. The shipping is very creative and stealthy. I also pay the fee for the original seed breeder packaging, just so I have peace of mind about getting what I pay for. I have tried Bonza, and I was missing 1 seed, two other strains were mixed up in slots for other seeds (so I don't know which seeds are which) and they didn't send any of the freebies they were supposed to. I messaged them about it basically got ignored, so not to raise a stink....I will just give Seedsman my business. I will also occasionally use gorilla seeds for stuff that I want that I can't find on Seedsman. Good company, pretty fair prices, decent freebies and fairly quick shipping. A step below Seedsman in those departments in my book. My brother likes to use Seed Supreme....but I don't have any experience with them. If you want a link to North American seed banks.....check out this one.

Pennywise is the one that introduced me to that site, but I haven't ordered from them yet.
Anyways, welcome to the end of this journal (though I will continue with it through out the clones growing for breeding), but the beginning of my journey growing this amazing plant! Glad to have you around Weednerd!
