Err... My journal history is somewhat sparse (and... painful) - I wouldn't recommend that search
.I don't have any dogs in this particular hunt. I do have a few Crop King seeds - two Train Wreck (autos?) and I think I have three of their mixed auto-flowering seeds. But they were gifts from a private individual, and would have been purchased well before the ownership/management change at the company. I'd like to try purchasing a pack of something in order to find out for myself how things are going for CKS these days, but am not financially able.
Mainly, I'm just subscribed to this thread because it's about a company that happens to be one of our sponsors, and I like to pay attention to how those companies are doing. I know that there have been issues with them in the past, and hope that they've worked them out (or are at least working them out).
I wouldn't even have noticed that this account appeared to have been created just to "robo-post" the same complaint eleven times in eleven different threads (in twenty minutes :icon_roll ), were it not for the fact that the actual pertinent information posted was somewhat lacking - so I did a quick forum search for the members other ten posts to see if I could determine which strain he was talking about, and when (before or after the ownership switch) they were purchased.
In his case, assuming it's an actual customer with a valid complaint, the issue is further complicated by him purchasing it through a local retail shop. Who knows how long they'd sat there before being sold, how they were treated, et cetera. And while a case could be made for the seedbank having responsibility for the retail establishments that it sells seeds to, ultimately they have no say in how the merchandise is stored, if it's properly rotated (old stock sold before what just came in), and so forth. Other than deciding whether or not to continue to sell seeds to them in the future, I suppose.
Again, my only involvement is hoping that one of our sponsors do well - and that they treat the forum's members well. My opinion on that is still unformed, and depends on being able to read about people's experiences (both positive and negative), along with the occasional glimpse (through their journal) at someone's grow.
