If you happen to live in the U.S. and you want to get your hands on some seeds.. I would highly recommend not going with Seed Supreme. I live in so cal and I ordered about 20 seeds from them thinking that they would make it here. They were seized & I ended up with a tan tote bag with a tiger on it for $100 +. Bad mistake. Never ordering Seed Supreme or out of the country again.
that can happen to any seed bank in fact it happens quite a bit to attitude your not allowed to ship seeds through customs i bet if you contact them they will help you out and generally resend the order with no extra cost
I would assume that of course. Which is why most seed banks ship very discretely. Their website says that they are not responsible for lost or siezed seeds.
What made you go with them in the first place? - Kind of curious since just about every seedbank people talk about here, including us, offers some kind of guaranteed shipping so your seeds get replaced after seizure.- - Were the prices really good? or did they have something you couldn't find anywhere else? - ~~sherry
The pictures on their website just looked really good & it was my first time ordering seeds. I figured that their prices were pretty decent and the buds looked good.. So why not. Definitely learned my lesson. You guys offer guaranteed shipping even if there happens to be a seisure?
That's what guaranteed shipping means. - What else would we be guaranteeing? - Are you saying you paid for guaranteed shipping? If so, you need to let them know your seeds were seized & they need to replace them. If you have a green-taped package or a customs letter, take a picture & send it to them. - If the package looks intact & you have nothing from customs, keep looking for the seeds. Sometimes, stealth is really, really stealthy. I know Attitude made a change & had lots of complaints from people who couldn't find their seeds until they called Attitude for instructions. - ~~sherry
I had a customs letter saying they seized my hemp seeds. I didn't pay for guaranteed shipping lol it says on their website that they are not liable for seized seeds.
Well, if you don't pay for guaranteed, they can always say no, but it doesn't hurt to ask. - Sometimes, if it's the person's first order and they ask nicely, we'll replace as a one-time courtesy then point out the guarantee for their next order. It's a good business practice to give a new customer the benefit of the doubt that they didn't understand. - Give it a try & see what they do - especially since there's another thread in this section with someone saying that Seed Supreme replaced for them without the guarantee. The most they can do is say no, and then you're not any worse off than you are right now. - ~~sherry
I'm already 3 weeks into flowering on my new seeds & I have 15 clones vegging. I'm just going to take that one as a loss in my books & if and when I want to order seeds again, i'll go to your seed bank. I'll probably be ordering some in the next 4 weeks or so. I'm actually going to check yours out right now.
Why not just order from the Us and avoid customs all together while supporting local breeders and business? Rocky mountain seed bank, Oregon Green Seed, Natures green remedies, Seed vault of California, all carry some top notch breeders.
I know a local grower who exchanges U.S. seeds with me. I have TGA Genetics Diamond OG x Alien OG in the grow tent right now. I just want to cross U.S. genetics with strains from around the world.
Ahh I hear that. I have some ripped bubba in flower, one of them i crossed with a nice diamond og male. I found most of the stuff I wanted from UK banks was from american breeders, so no reason to chance customs. I will say I wish that Us banks had the selection of "old school" strains that you can find at UK banks. I mean an ny diesel x la cheese x spacequeen strain sounds good and all but it would be nice just to order a standard white widow or skunk to use for breeding.
Exactly! It's cool to grow all these crazy strains for a little while but eventually it's all about genetics and branding your own. I hear you on the UK banks though. But if guaranteed delivery is an option, i'm willing.
Yea any good bank be it gorilla, the vault, attitude, herbies or whatever should have a guaranteed shipping option though some charge extra. It's usually not expensive though and is really reasonable considering the seed bank may end up sending your order two or three times.
I'm definitely going to be looking for that in the future. Certainly learned my lesson. I can't wait to start ordering autos.
Ahh cool. I'm a big fan of Paradise seeds for autos. I've grown every auto they offer and have never been disappointed. Pandora is one of my favorites and I normally get about 3oz dry per plant on those running 6 under 600w.
Very nice! I may take a look at their seeds as well when I am ready to start ordering autos. I've never heard of the strain pandora.. But 3 oz is damn good for an autoflower especially 6 under one HPS.
Paradise has pretty good prices too - but, you guys might want to check out the 420 Network Section at Grass City. We're always giving something away. Right now, we've got some promos from Dr Krippling with what look like a couple nice autos. - You won't lose anything but a little bit of time & typing to enter. - Sherry
