[romdog11]

this is to tell everyone that hemp depot is a good seed bank. it took a little under 2 weeks for my seeds to arrive since the day i put my paymnent in the mail. 2 thumbs up for hemp depot. and the stealth was the best ive seen yet. i even had a hard time getting to my seeds! lol

[the image reaper]

yup, I've been wearing out the keyboard bragging up Hemp Depot ... Hemp Depot sales and service are top-notch :thumbsup: ... and, Joey Weed has some of the best gear around, regardless of price ... gotta get me some of Joey's White Widow, it's the original genetics from Shantibaba ... :jointsmile:

[mikeyjo]

Another happy custy here. Will be much happier in about 10 weeks :D.

Hemp Depot now sales TGA Subcool?! I'm definitely want some of that Jack the Ripper. This is fucking awesome, Hemp depot just keeps getting better and better. The good thing about it though is that they are only 60 bucks a 10 pack!!!

don't judge Hemp Depot by the TGA gear, and don't believe everything your read in Subcool's advertising ... word ... :smokin:

[Pinner]

Never went through Hemp Depot but it's good to know they're reliable. I go through Nervana.

I mailed in a international money order to HD two weeks ago today, but they haven't received anything yet. Does it normally take this long? I mailed global priority from NE USA.

that doesn't sound normal at all ... my orders from California, were sent priority mail, also ... received my seeds on the 12th day the first order, and the 8th day the next order ... don't give up, but sounds like hung up in the mail ... check Joey Weed's homepage, under the 'Returned Letters' button ... sometimes either seeds are returned, or your order's address wasn't legible, etc... smokin:

[Comatose]

Thanks for the reply IR. Brad @ HD has been in contact over the past four or five days. He was really quick in replying. They haven't received the MO yet, but are keeping their eyes out for it.

The USPS says 6-10 business days, so I guess since yesterday was Columbus day, I have one more day until 10 business days.

If I don't hear anything by tomorrow, I'll be a sad, sad man. I'm at the end of my test bagseed grow (ended up being Sativa and Flowering for 11 weeks) and I was really ready for some Primo genetics. I had been a patience little boy, and was ready for some 6-8 weekers. I even ended up taking your advice from another thread and had ordered Joey Weed (NL and WW).

I'll definately keep my fingers crossed while I'm in bed tonight, lol.

hmmm i'd like to no more, do you mind sharing?! I was definitely gonna make a purchase monday.

[mikeyjo]

Comatose - was also thanksgiving in Canada yesterday .

[Comatose]

Ohh wow, well thanks for letting me know that. That definately will push it back another day. Thanks again for the info.

[zoomatl]

My buddy purchased c99 and ak47 from h/d the ak47 are very strong vigorous seedlings...the c99....well lets just say my buddy has sent 3 emails to hemp depot and only got 1 reply...and that was a week ago....i will not pass judgment at this point ...but for a customer placing their first order im hoping that they will be at least fair.

[Comatose]

Theres nothing on the returned letters section for me, and it still hasn't got to them. Keeping my fingers crossed....

[the image reaper]

Brad's real efficient at answering e-mails, but he does have other things to do, also... hopefully, your 'lost' order was a money order, you can get refunds from those ... it's obvious it's a 'mail issue' as you would have your order on the way y now, normally ... good luck, I'm hopin' for ya :thumbsup:

[the image reaper]

hmmm i'd like to no more, do you mind sharing?! I was definitely gonna make a purchase monday.

let me put it this way: search all the other cannabis websites, you will see where he has been asked to take his act elsewhere ... the guy crosses strains, no real nowledge, and plenty of bullshit advertising ... he doesn't even know the parentage of some of his own strains .. I've asked him, he didn't know ... what the hell kinda breeding is that ? .. he crossed some unknown plants, got seeds, writes LONG descriptions, and posts them all over the Web ... it's disgusting ... as for 'HIGH Timees Cannabis Cup' entries ??, anybody with cash can do that, if I had a few thousand extra bucks to waste, I could enter Grandma's rosebushes ... his gear is well-known for hermaphrodites, and problems ... don't take my word for it, check the comments out at HG420 and International Cannagraphic, he's been run away from them, too ... but, its your money, spend it where ya want /// :smokin:

[Comatose]

Thanks again IR. Yeah, I guess I'll start the process of getting my MO refunded (I think it takes well over a month to get it refunded) and if I can scrap up some more, place another order. I think its just more frusterating than anything else, because I have done hours and hours or research and never thought I'd be the one with a problem here. I'm not even sure if I have enough money at the moment to mail out another.

I wish I knew the right people and had a connection, life would be so much easier.... lol.

Still keeping my fingers crossed.

[the image reaper]

well, don't give up yet, I have had mail show up at the last minute (Christmas cards in July, :wtf:) ... it sucks, I really hope your order shows up soon ... for what it's worth, yours is the first problem I've ever run across with HD, sucks having to question your own luck ... :jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

I have had mail show up at the last minute (Christmas cards in July, :wtf:) .
Hey, at least it arrived in your mailbox rather than being hand-delivered by a couple stiffs in black 'Burbans....

[the image reaper]

Hey, at least it arrived in your mailbox rather than being hand-delivered by a couple stiffs in black 'Burbans....

no 'Burbans', a CADILLAC ESPLANADE :wtf4: ... a Federal lackey in a brand-new CADILLAC ESPLANADE ???? ... now we know why the U.S. Post Office has to raise the price of stamps so frequently ... color me disgusted ... :mad:

[Comatose]

I definately won't give up on them, and I don't think its a problem with HD specifically, so believe me, I'm not shooting any negativity their way. Yeah, I know it is the risk that you take, so I'm not totally disgusted in the loss of the money (if I don't get refunded) but more or less let down, because I'm ready for primo indica genetics and stuck with sativa bagseed.

Yes I'm definately happy that there are no black 'burbons' at my door, god knows we don't need that. What a waste of tax dollars, IMHO, atleast when they are busting down peaceful peoples doors.

[Comatose]

Well I think I know where the mix-up happened with this, but I'm not 100% sure. According to the post office, you have to fill out a separate customs forms besides whatever is on the outside of the carboard envelope that they make you buy. And they also told me that 6-10 days global priority is NOT guaranteed. More than likely, my envelope is chilling at customs while they send a form for me/someone to fill out.


Last time I ever ship with the USPS...

PS: Don't worry, my name and address were nowhere inside of the envelope... no worries here as of yet. I wish HD took credit card orders... Its so easy to get a pre paid credit card, and using one takes away one border crossing and a lot of time.

[the image reaper]

I don't remember what they had me sign at the Post Office, I just signed whatever she told me to :D ... but, you would be in no trouble for ordering seeds, you still have to be 'caught with the goods' ... I plan to order again soon, I will still use the USPS, but this time, I'm in no hurry, wont bother with the Global Priority ... :smokin:

[Ktrain]

I have had good luck using Kindseeddotcom and have used my CC to order on there website with no problems, quite a few times over the past few years...

[SMOKIN A WHILE]

I have been following what reaper has said regarding HD. I myself don't trust USPS. The seeds I have bought using Royal Mail have always arrived. The selection at HD really looks good to me, but USPS has kept me from ordering.

[romdog11]

ive always had my emails answered by hemp depot. brad seems to really be on top of that. and ive sent them alot of questions concerning different things.

[Comatose]

Ohh yeah, Brad at HD has been great. He replys to my emails super quick, even on the weekend. My issue here is not at all with HD, its with my local USPS that has college students working there. They don't even have regular postal employees. That was my mistake right there.

You would figure that an employee of the post office should know you need customs paperwork when you are going through CUSTOMS at the border, lol. Those workers must be smoking more than we are :-p

[zoomatl]

Here is what hd said when my buddy told them that only 5 of the 10 c99s popped and that all of the ak47 popped.he bought a pack of each and germinated them together..but had horrible results with the c99.

"Please be reminded, when you
purchase a pack of seeds, you are buying a strain or genetic
material. You are not buying 10 plants."

So basicly he probably needs to buy 2 packs(20 seeds) if he plans to get 5 female plants.withe the average male to female being 50/50....this is using the logic that hemp depot used to render my buddy's complaint of only getting 5 viable seeds from a pack of 10 which may only produce 2.5 females...my buddy said 2 of the seeds were completely hollow..like something had eaten the insides out...they simply..were all shell. They still have great prices and awesome seeds so im sure my buddy will continue to order but ...just putting his 2 cents in of his first experience with hd.:cool:

[Comatose]

HD is in Canada, so a UK mail strike wouldn't affect that would it?

[KL4D4]

Only if you're sending shit to the UK vs. the U.S.

[the image reaper]

HD is in Canada, so a UK mail strike wouldn't affect that would it?

sorry about that, I was in a 'foggy' moment when I posted that ... whoops ... even while stoned, Canada is no longer part of the British Empire ... :wtf:

[Comatose]

sorry about that, I was in a 'foggy' moment when I posted that ... whoops ... even while stoned, Canada is no longer part of the British Empire ... :wtf:

Haha. I was foggy when I read your post too, and it caught me off guard. I was wondering how a UK strike would affect Canada :)

I still haven't heard anything, so I'm working on refunding the money order. All the Joey Weed strains that I had on my order are out of stock now too, lol. My luck.

So I guess I'm searching for somewhere that I can use a prepaid credit card, it seems a lot faster that way. Any one have experience using a pre paid cc to order?

[the image reaper]

lots of people here use the pre-paids, haven't heard of any probs ... HD replenishes their stock frequently, you might check back ... Growshop Alien is also dependable (I dont care for their customer-non-service, but they DO deliver) ... :smokin:

[romdog11]

i used a credit card to order from dr.greenthumb. i ordered over the phone and it took 6 days for my order to reach me. check him out he is on seedbankupdate.com

[Comatose]

Well, big suprize this morning. HD sent me an email with a reference number and said that my correspondence is in the mail today. Does this sound right?

I honestly though this was a lost cause.

I'm looking forward to this now!!!

[the image reaper]

I'm very glad it got solved ... yours is the only problem I've seen with HD, and it's a relief to see you get your seeds ... evidently, the order got 'hung up' in the mail, glad it's working out for ya :thumbsup:

[Comatose]

Yeah, must have gotten hung up somehow. I have no clue how, though. Anyways, I'm just curious.... when you get your email from them saying its in the mail, how many days does it take to get to you?

[romdog11]

it took me like 6 days being in the sw usa

[the image reaper]

actually, I have never received notification my order was received, or shipment was on the way :wtf: ... I just mailed my International M .O. to them, and received my package anywhere from 8-13 days later ... but I haven't had to buy seeds for a year or more, maybe they started the e-mail confirmations since then ... :jointsmile:

[Comatose]

Hmm... Yeah, I had been in contact with them over email for the past few weeks so maybe that is why they emailed me. I also saw something on the order form about giving them an email so you can receive notification. Either way, I'll post up when they come in. Hopefully its pretty soon, its been 23 days since I mailed in, but I'm a patient man. Thanks again, IR and everyone else.

[Comatose]

Patience truly is a virtue :) I received my Joey Weed Northern Lights and White Widow seeds today. Like everyone has previously said, the way that they stealth the order is pretty damn ingenious. When I have spare room in my veg area, I'll have to get them started.

Anyone have an opinion on which ones I should grow out first? I'd prefer to grow only one strain at a time, because it makes managing the lights much easier. As I recall, NL grows up to about 0.75M, while WW can reach heights almost twice that?

I guess if I did a scrog, it wouldn't really matter, and I could do 5 of each strain for the first run. They would all end up the same height under the lights...

Hmmm, decisions decisions... I've been waiting for the seeds to get here for so long, that I forgot what I should do with them once they arrived.

:) Its a good problem to have. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and advice over this whole ordeal.

I give HD an A+.

PS: Brad is a great man. When I emailed him way back at the beginning of this, he separated and held my order for me so that when my order came in, he wouldn't be out of the seeds. I look now and see that both Joey Weed NL and WW are limited or out of stock. He deserves a tip! :)

[mikeyjo]

Good to hear dude. Your "problem" deciding which to grow first is a can't lose scenario :D.

[the image reaper]

Comatose, glad everything is working out for ya ... :thumbsup:

[Comatose]

Just thought I would give a little update/review on the joey weed NL's.

I finally got room in the veg chamber to try and get my NL genetics going. I germed 3 and all 3 popped (I'm only trying to get a mother at the moment, why waste all 10 seeds :)). All went into rock wool cylinders under 24 hrs CFL until cotyledon leaves sprouted. Then they went into 1G containers. They are 2 weeks old today, and they are literally exploding. There is practically no node spacing, just node on top of node, and I'm already 2 nodes into seven fingered leaves. They are also a lot fuzzier that the bagseed sativa that I learned on (I have no clue what that means, but its exciting to grow something on the opposite end of what I learned with). Just thought that I'd say I am extremely happy right now :). Heres a pic (sorry for the fuzziness)...

[romdog11]

looking good mate im pretty happy with my hemp depot order as well. i have pics of my grow in my grow log.

[kdspecial]

I will be placing an order with them today or tommrow. I have always just bought my seeds downtown Toronto at Sacreed Seed or 420TorontoSeedBank. Both are great places Sacreed Seed seems kinda pricey though compared to HEMP DEPOT.. So I thought I would try this route this time around.

They are all out of CINDERELLA 99 so I am gonna go with Cinderella 99 x Apollo 11

They both had UP!!! High written in the description So it should be good? hahahahah

I know Cinderella is supposed to be a great Up high.. (Thanks Reaper) So this will be a close match hopfully.

I could get Cinderella 99 at sacreed seeds for $120 for 10. He says they are from Amsterdam..

But damm 50 bucks for 10 at HD joey Weed... HD wins this time... sorry sacreed... Im a little broke right now...

I hope the cross is a good smoke,, Cinderella 99 is a popular strain I have noticed on the boards as of latly... as well Joey weed has all kinds of crosses..
