im with you brick. Some people think they have the best, and some do, but sometimes your neighbor may have something better than yours... and i have run into so many people who claim to have smoked the best then when i smoke with them they are in awe...

I just ordered some nirvana master kush and bubblelicous just for fun, whenever you can get 10 beans for $25 why the fuck not, dont have much to lose lol well, except space and time growing them...

but they were basically something you would buy while your checking out at the register, after your basket is already full, lol, and heck i may get a keeper out if it too!!

wow you really hit the nail on the head right here. i agree nirvana is crap i think i had about 5 different phenos out of 8 plants the only decent looking ones turned out male, a couple of hermies to polinate all my plants witch i thought i got rid of in time but aparently not, unless the 2 females i ended up with were hiding some balls. these 2 females where coincidently the same phenos and let me tell you they were ugly, stringy, thin stemmed, streatchy, airy light shitty buds that barely got me high. they were grown next to some bag seed that turned out wonderfull compared to the ai. oh and im not a noob, been growing about 5 years. this happend last year. never again nirvana. think them owning this site has anything to do with thier good reputation?

Call it what you like but I have seen a number of messages on sites like this over the years filled with nothing but horror stories about Nirvana and a number were about threats to rat out unhappy customers, including seeing them on this site, and it did happen to someone I know.


Calling Nirvana an; "internationally renowned company" give is a false appearance of honesty and respectability that it does not deserve. Nirvana does not make their own seeds, they pay people to make them, outside contractors of sorts. They totally lack any and all quality control because of it. Someone making their seeds can mix them together and or claim them to be ones they get paid more for than they would for others so they make more money.

For some inexplicable reason there are a number of members here who like Nirvana but I have been a member of sites where people wouldn't grow Nirvana beans if the beans were free and all they had to do was pay for the shipping. They would not waste their time on garbage genetics.

Nirvana does promote itself well but it is like the AOL of breeders/seed vendors. Like many people new to the Internet who think joining AOL is the best way to go it is where all the newbies flock to until they eventually learn that there are much better options out there to pick from.

I wouldn't trade a single piece of dry cat shit for anything in the Nirvana line.

^this is why i only get strains they have had forever. they stay with the same breeder as long as that breeder is still around. new strains they have like blue mystic and all there autoflowers i dont trust. but again i have never ordered a reg 10 pack. i always get fem seeds. why? they have to make sure there fem which means the breeder has to select the seeds more carefully. maybe im just lucky as fuck, but they work fine for me.

haha, bagseed did better in every way. thats BS when they are the breeders!!! its like they just grab seeds off any plant and sell em...
but like i said they are something you would buy as a impulse buy not if your really trying to find a C.C. winner lol

Its hard to not buy $25 seeds from a company whose been around for so long, but its like walmart, they not to much into providing excellent service or products, just interested in saving money... quality vs quantity... i think thats what nirvana is about, quantity...

you always get what you pay for, but with seeds, you just never know, you could get a killer pheno!!!! the odds are just stacked against you with nirvana lol

EDIT : i have seen nirvana's website and they claim to get the seeds from their breeders. Idk but my guess is they have hundreds of backyard breeders spread across their country, with many variations in experience and dont communicate internally, just give us the seeds when you get them... just my guess...

You know there are a lot of people out there that have more experience than all of us. No matter how big, bad, or green you are there is always someone out there better. Plus if we always took someone elses word for we would never learn anything new. History is full of such people who questioned the status quo. I do not understand why people get all pissy because someone didnt take there word for it,plus if you ask them to show you proof all you get is because i said so. Then go and bash a company and not even give them a chance to make it right. Everyone makes mistakes. I am not praising Nirvana or anything, just saying is all. I see that so much on the net it is crazy. For a bunch of open minded stoners there sure seems to be alot of closed minds.

hey dude im not positive about this but im pretty sure you cant tell the sex of a plant from a seed. i think i might have read somewhere that this is possible, probably very difficult. i garantee you that this is not how nirvana or any other seed bank picks thier feminized seeds. they dont spend anymore time going through them then they do regular seeds, because they are bred to be feminized, not picked out of regular seeds.

Attitude is just the middle man, cant get mad at the messenger... they aren't responsible for seeds producing undesireable results.
They have responded to every one of my e-mails sincerly and professionally.

it seems that nirvana would have a rep to defend themselves in threads like this. you know they read where they advertise but don't speak up when they are getting slammed? i've been using them for 3 years now and i've always had nice plants. the only repeat seed i've ever ordered was the fem papaya and they look and grow the same everytime. maybe i should change my name to lucky?

I have never believed it but I have read where if you look at the circular indentation on the narrow/pointy end of a seed, if it is PERFECTLY round, then it is a female seed and if it is not PERFECTLY round then it is male.

As I said, I never believed it ... but I did once see a picture of a group of seeds that were very carefully checked for perfect roundness or not and allegedly when grown to test the theory the ones that were perfectly round did turn out to be female.

I wouldn't bet the farm on it being true though.

this is what makes threads like this pointless... everyone has their own tastes/opinons/experiences/reasons...
like i said, its like they are the walmart of seed companies lol some hate em some love em
but they could careless either way cause people are still buying their seeds, $25 for a reg/10 pack. why not add it to your grow and see what happens...
edit : hold it down in dtown though!!!

Given the small size of the indentation I think someone would need a VERY fine/small set of digital inside calipers to have a chance of really being accurate .. or a series of different sized pieces of perfectly round very thin metal rod to stick in to test for roundness. Even if it is true I think accurate testing would be beyond the capability of most people so even if true it might be one of those things that falls into the category of worthless or near worthless knowledge since few if any could actually make use of it.

hey where is nirvana to defend themselves? i think ive seen like 10 ads for them reading through this thread lol. im sure they have seen this or other threads bashing them, i know ive seen a few without even looking for them specifically. so whats up nirvana? have they ever tried to defend themselves in other threads? makes them look guilty to me. i mean im sure its kinda a hit or miss with them. kinda like if you eat something bad that makes you sick, you never want to eat it again because you expect to get sick again. know what i mean? i promise i will never send nirvana another dime of my money i really dont want them to make me "sick" again.

this sounds more of a 'black art', probably by eye i would guess
funny seeing this, though i had seen it before, just cracked a seed that was very round to my eye
so i'll take this post as being an optimistic find for a very round regular seed
the human eye can judge symmetry to a high degree, but i guess it may depend on whose eyes are doing the looking
