Seed Banks, Good and Bad

[misslilly]

I just want to say F**K DR CHRONIC!!!! I ordered seeds from him and ALL were crushed, $$$ down the drain. I sent them an email and they never responded. I live in eastern USA and always read mixed reviews of dr chronic...guess I learned the hard way.

Anyone know any seed banks that WILL SHIP GOOD, GROWABLE fem seeds with high trichrome producing strains for under $80 for at least 5-10 seeds??? I'm looking to just do a small, personal INDOOR CLOSET grow. Any suggestions are appreciated. :rastasmoke:

I ordered seed from BC Seeds myself and had good luck Sent my money on a monday and got an e-mail on friday saying the got my money. Seed came 2 weeks later. I live in New England. None crushed, BC SEEDS - Marijuana Seeds, Cannabis Seeds BC Seeds

Try hempdepot.ca I just received pure power plant, pure burmese, and a g-13 deep chunk mix called government mule. After they received my payment in the mail, the beans made it down to the dirty south in about 5 days. I've ordered form them many times without a problem.

i ordered seeds from Dr. Chron in September they arrived about 3 weeks later. They seemed relatively stealth, but definitely did not come through Chicago.

I was very pleased. They were D. Passion Power Plant, DNA's Purple Wreck, and Mr. Nice Shark Shock. THEN...

I flowered both packs of Shark Shocks and on day 31 i can safely say these definitely are not shark shock.

They are super sativa looking, just started to bud a few days back, and are still stretching daily on week 5. This is a big letdown as it is 3/4 of my garden, and i was trying to find some quicker plants for a group of medicinal users. Really too bad. Dr. Chronic still has not responded to either of my emails.

It sucks spending top dollar on seeds and ending up with an unknown possibly 100+ day sativa...for an indoor garden:wtf:

This is the response i was given after they sent me Haze seeds instead of the Shark Shock I ordered.

"Hi ...we can not discuss this as it puts us at risk .. we only
sell seeds as souvenirs , however if you wish to reorder some time
soon we will throw in a free 5 pack of GWS with your next order > #

BTW we have had no other problems with this strain ....usually if
there is a issue with seeds GH re call them but i have heard nothing"


So they want more of my money and then they will give me FIVE seeds. I ordered and paid for thirty, which they never delivered on. F*CKING AS*HOLES

I would like the people reading this to put themselves in the shoes of someone like Dr. Chronic.

Instead of running a seed bank, you run a small food market. Someone comes into your store and buys six $40 jars of Mr. Peanut Brand Organic Peanut Butter. Two months later that person comes in and claims that the Mr. Peanut Brand Organic Peanut Butter is not organic at all! That very same customer also used every single jar.

You cannot offer them a refund because $240 is just too much money to lose, but you do offer to give them another over-priced jar of organic peanut butter from a different brand to make up for something. Did you just scam the customer?

As a shopkeeper, your job is to sell wholesale food products to the consumer at a reasonable price--Not guarentee that all the products in your store will satisify your customers' needs.

Now I understand that the issue is a little bit different if the shopkeeper is the one packaging the peanut butter; he could very easily exchange the expensive peanut butter with inexpensive stuff. But what would he do with all of the left over expensive peanut butter? He can't simply sell it as expensive peanut butter because the company only sends him one empty jar per bag of peanut butter. Also, not many customers buy the bags without the jars on such an expensive product.

I can't think of any breeders that would agree to send a seed bank some empty breeder packs--That sort of thing would get them blacklisted.

What if the Doctor really is being honest. What if he really did put the Mr. Peanut Brand Organic Peanut Butter in the correct jar?

Shouldn't you start calling Mr. Peanut instead? Mr. Peanut is not as nice as the shopkeeper BTW.

I guess w/e works for you but 10 min of internet research is enough for me to know Dr Chronic isnt the most reliable source, especially when I get useless cracked seeds.

[DieselRyderGrow]

You can search the internet for "(insert-seedbank-name-here) scam" and probably find a dozen reports of that particular seed bank 'scamming' people. The bigger the seed bank, the more negative experiences people are going to report. I would put Dr. Chronic in with the top five.

Also, I would say that the way Dr. Chronic packages his seeds is pretty darn good. I don't think that I could crush them, even if I squeezed as hard as I could on the package. I am sorry that your seeds got damaged, but was it really his fault or the fault of the post office?

I have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Chronic. I have made several orders with him over the past year and had only one issue which he resolved. My only complaint would be that his packages don't seem to be very stealth. If I was working customs and really wanted to crack down on him I have faith that I could intercept his orders with a 100% success rate. That being said, I haven't lost a single order from him to customs.

Sooo...

I do believe that this will be my last post regarding Dr. Chronic. If I speak up too much people will probably assume that I am working for the guy. Just know that I have had nothing but good experiences with the guy; so much so that I don't even want to try another seed bank for my next orders.

I was just thinking...if seedbanks were smarter they would send seeds hidden in something. I've mailed seeds & bud before and never had a problem because I used that brain thing to ship truly stealth and not just standard shipping which is called "stealth" by some poor reviewed seed banks. I can think of at least 5 different ways off the top of my head to discreetly mail seeds.
