But don't take MY word for it. Make up your own mind.
I myself recently recieved 3 orders out of 4 total from Nirvana with only 1 confiscation. One day I received 2 packages, one was fine the other had tape and a removal letter inside with no seeds (sucks it was my 2nd order of White Rhino).

Port of Chicago is tough to get stuff thru supposedly(the one that got mine.) but this goes for ALL seed vendors. I'm pretty sure the govt. workers know what kind of packaging they all use. Its just luck of the draw whether or not yours makes it.

Also, my Nirvana strains are relatively very uniform 1-2 weeks into veg. I can clearly tell which are Northern Lights, which are White Rhino and which are Hindu Kush. NL and HK are IBLs(Inbred lines) so they are supposed to be very much uniform. White Rhino is a F1 (supposedly) and i believe it so far. The biggest is 2 days younger than my oldest NL and its blowing it away so far.

I have heard the Rhino grows slow, but in my case its got that vigor. F1's usually have this trait. The fresh genetic mix of an F1 makes the plant grow faster than Inbred lines like HK and NL.

Overall don't count Nirvana out just cause they're cheaper than other suppliers. My plants are doing really well and I'm more than happy with them, especially for the price.
ezygzy Reviewed by ezygzy on . Nirvana Seeds vs. Originals? Hi- It took me a bit to figure out why Nirvana seeds are so cheap compared to everyone else, then I realized that it is "their version" and not the original seeds from the seedbank who developed it. White Widow from Nirvana vs. White Widow from Dutch Passion for instance. Does this make a difference? Is there a reason I should choose one over another? Thanks Rating: 5
