First time to ever order seeds .Chose Castle Seeds ,ordered 2 auto flower 5 packs took about 2 weeks to receive (got them yes). Would highly recommend this company great pricing and free shipping. I rate my exper. with them as Triple A+ and give them 5 thumbs up.

i ordered from them before...everything was legit...never ordering AUTO;s again tho...no clones = no good
I know this is old,but I can tell you first hand- I am having problems with castle right now,and they really could care less.I fell for their ''pledge'' to their customers nonsense.
First,I ordered 30 Master Kush seeds (Black Label), then 6 BC Mango ( BC Bud Depot), and 3 Northern Lights (Sensi). I got my order in a decent amount of time.
I germinated all 39 seeds at the same time.All of the seeds sprouted,except 1 of the Northern Lights seeds.All of the seeds were planted,and all of them grew.The 2 Northern Lights seedlings were deformed right from the start.I almost tossed them out,but decided to just let em go and see what happened.
Next,I notice the mangos seem nice and sturdy,and the Master Kush was doing alright also.Now they are just over 2 weeks old,and I start seeing males showing themselves,then soon after,I see alot of plants getting hairs.I couldn't believe plants under 24 hours of light were pre flowering.Then I noticed it was only the master kush doing this.I keep giving them veg nutes,and for the next couple of weeks the hairs turned into clusters. I was getting ready to put them under the 1000 watt HPS,so I just put everything in the bud room,as I was also realizing all of the 30 Master Kush plants were auto flowering plants of some kind.I was furious.
So I have to decide whether to bud the mango and northern under 12 hours of light/dark, or bud the auto plants under 18 or 20 hours. Of course I chose to bud the 6 mangos,the 2 northerns and just let the auto flowering plants go under 12 hours to see what would happen.
So now is 5 days or so from the day I switched the light to 12 hours, and I noticed the mangos are looking like all 6 might be males,and the northern is just like it always is-tiny( 5 or 6 inches after 6 weeks). So My Big grow turned out to 11 auto flowering strains of unknown genetics,possibly all 6 mangos are male,and the northerns are usless runts. I have been growing since the mid 80's. So,It's nothing I have done,it's just horrible genetics.I am pissed!!!
So,Back track for a second here. When I first got my order, I noticed the master kush breeder packs had a different description on the back than the description on castles website. I emailed castle and asked them which master kush they sent me? Their website said it was 15 to 20 % THC, NOT 10 TO 15% like the breeder pack said. Their add said the genetics were hindu kush crossed with hindu kush, not a hindu kush crossed with a skunk like the breeder pack said. Their add said 8 weeks flowering,not 9 to 11 that the breeder pack said. Also,they said it was very low odor,even without odor control. What they sent me is neither master kush, but a smelly autoflowering strain that I cant clone,and is stinking up my place.
Castle told me after the first time I emailed them, that the info on their website is right,and Black Label must have run out of breeder packs,and are using old packs. What???? I never believed them,and now I know they are a horrible crooked company. Now they are telling me They checked their info on their add against info from other suplliers and they said the info is similar. Again,I have to ask-WHAT??? They are now blaming Black Label seeds and claiming that it must have been a mix up at the ''factory''. I think by factory,they mean some guys basement or garage.I have been extremely polite to them in my emails,and have followed all of their rules as far as email protocol.Yet,as soon as I mentioned I bought the Master Kush from them,not Black Label,they stopped emailing me back. I only said I think someone should send me what I ordered.The last I heard from Castle they were sending me a link to High Quality/Black Label seeds. This site does not exist. I never even had time to mention the mangos all being males, or the northern being genetic mutants that are worthless.
So I have dealt with Marc Emery in the past, and got exactly what I paid for. I have dealt with herbies headshop,and got exactly what I ordered as well. However, I have also ordered twice from Vancouver Seed Bank, and not only never got either order, but was flat out lied to by Rebbeca Ambrose( owner), and told to wait until february 8th,and if I didn't have the seeds by then,they would refund both orders. Today is Feb 10th, and they have not answered my emails ,which they always have done right away in the past. They are crooks! Castle seeds are also crooks. Go on Castle seeds website, and read their so called ''pledge'' to their customers.I can't believe it. Attitude is legit,herbies is legit,and so are some others. But after getting genetics like castle sent me,it is proof they are just con artists.Now they ignore me completely. I would even get into VSB and the lies and complete rudeness I was told and treated with by the owner and her staff.Watch who you order from. Good luck

I know this is old,but I need to warn people about Castle. I ordered seeds,and I did get ,some. I ordered 30 Master Kush ,6 BC mango and 3 sensi Northern Lights. first,ALLof the so called Master Kush plants started showing they were male after 2 weeks from germination.So, half were males.Then,in the third week the females showed themselves,but they didn't just pre flower,the went into full fledged budding,first under 24 hours of light,then continued under 18/6. I was/ am fucking pissed! Then my beautiful Bc Mangos all turned out male,except 1. The three NL - 2 sprouted. The 2 that sproute are the weakest,slowest growing pot plants of any kind I have ever seen or grown. I have been growing since the mid 1980's, so am am far from a newbie.
So after I politely told castle of the Master Kush issue (I never told them about the Mango or NL problems) they of course blamed the breeder. They gave me a link to Black Label seeds/ High quality seeds website, but they told me the site is down,and has been for some time. They did want anything to do with a customer who had received garbage from them. I said,what about your pledge? They said it did not apply tome or my situation.
Also,when I first received the order, I noticed the description on castles website for Black Labels Master Kush did not match the description on the back of the breeder packs. Of course, castle made them sound much better. Castle said the THC was 15 to 20 %, when it was really 10 to 15%. Castle said they were a cross between to hindu kushes, the breeder pack said it was a hindu kush crossed with a skunk. Castle said the flowering time was 8 to 9 weeks, when the breeder pack said 9 to 11 weeks. Castle also said they were very low odor,which the breeder pack did not say.
They are crooks,and I have been told by 1 person that Castle bought,or buys their seeds from real companies who are getting rid of old seeds. So there you go-they sent me seeds that might have been in a fridge somewhere for 10 years.I would definitely stay away from Castle,and Vancouver Seed Bank. They are impossible to deal with, and trying to communicate with anyone at VSB is like talking to dog or a cat.Unbelievable! There are tomany good banks and breeders out there to ever have to deal with these shit ones.

East coast USA. Just wanted to share that my experience with castle has been great. I can vouch for their seed legitimacy and amazing prices. They are probably the best and most trustworthy seedbank across the board. The owner Mr Castle seems like a nice reasonable guy too. You can spen 100$ and get more than you would from attitude even with the freebies.
