the strainbank will not ship plants, but the seeds are legit. when you see anything about a "scam", you have to break that down and ask how that is possible? if plants are green and have nice white roots, there's nothing else a nursery can do. when you work with 1000s of new growers, most have an easier time blaming the experts that gave them the plants vs their own lack of grow experience.

worse patients will ask for replacement plants sometimes +1mon after purchase and allege issues. most collectives that offer a fair replacement policy want to get at the root of the issue...no pun intended. if collectives blindly replaced all plants new growers killed, 1) they would be out of business very quickly and 2) new growers often repeat the same mistakes if not consulted on what to do differently.

if you visit the site, it appears the strainbank:

1) has been around since 2009, that's a long time to perpetuate a scam.
2) they have had the same phone number for years, most scammers, like craigslisters, change their phone often.
3) offer free sample packs of seeds to skeptical patients.
4) have their main genetics tested with the biogentics lab in los angeles.
5) does not use a single penny toward any paid advertising of any kind.

with all this considered, it's difficult to see where the scam comes from.

It hardly takes an expert to push clones.

it does not take an expert to make clones yes. if you're managing a nursery with many strains and the subtle nuances of each, that's approaching expert level. if a patient admits it's their first time growing and kills the plants 1mon later, ANYONE is an expert compared to them.

as far as pushing clones, or weed, or cars, having any successful business WITHOUT the use of any paid advertising is rather miraculous, especially in this industry. that's why weedmaps is making a fuck ton of money - dispensaries and delivery services are spending up to 25% of donations on advertising costs alone.

lol funny links, i LIKED your post! i think it's funny when people blame web designers by going to www.whois.net haha! i saw the remark about a smart person from usc and something else about a successful marketing business. i just googled strainbank and it looks like theyve expanded into all medical marijuana states. what an interesting scam that's unfolding. i guess marijuana companies like weedmaps, leafly and strainbank that become national are scams bc of what little turd, wanna be lawyer, forum members post?

it super funny when you go to the respective accounts of the people complaining, theyre NEW growers with garage grows and dirt everywhere, target fans, cheap nutrients, and you wonder who's at fault. the idiot grower or a national company worth millions?

The customers always right. U really shouldn't even have an opinion on this matter. It's somewhat unprofessional.

So you are saying this is referencing you? We should trust you because you are a national company worth millions? People are saying that Zach or Paul or JP, or whoever is Strainbank in San Diego is making websites with patients personal information and harassing people that complain. Just trying to get some clarity.

My seeds from Amsterdam were confiscated last week. They sent me a letter stating that I was being sent illegal contraband and that they would dispose of it. It went on to say that if I wanted to claim the contraband that I could, however, charges would be issued....In other words they are keeping it and there is nothing I can do about it.

I think I got the same letter. Mine told me to contact the sender as they may have sent them accidentally
