Please read! Herbies head shop!

ive germinated 8 herbies brought seeds only one didn't germinate but ill give it a day more to see if it does...I guess in the long run it depends on the breeder that's supplying herbies..for example ive germed 4 wonder woman seeds from nirvana seeds no problem and a strawberry blue and pineapple chunk all easy germed..but I putin a white rhino from WOS and no luck..ill try another white rhino if it doesn't germ I just wont buy that from them again simple.

I am so pissed of with herbies. What a shit run of seeds they sent me. I bought $250 bucks worth of seeds (mostly autos) and only 2 germinated and out of those 2 one was a very tiny yield (9 grams pfffffft i used a 16 litre pot ffs) and the other ended up being some weird hybrid auto which took 3 months to grow and had a very low potency almost to the point you needed to smoke 7 cones to get a buzz.

Most of the seeds were tiny..so small they looked like tomato seeds. I cracked one open as it didnt do anything and it was empty inside as it had dried out ffs!

I know its not my method of germinating as the non herbie seeds i had left all germinated successfully...but the ones from herbies were a massive failure. What a waste of fucken money!

I dont know what is going on with seed banks but this industry is out of control with no regulation. The amount of money they are making on a trust based system is absurd and i have noticed they have wised up and are not offering normal seeds as much as they were a few years ago due to people just breeding their own.

email herbies back but be nice about it they will listen and send more

Out of 4 orders I have had a couple not germ. I just germed some bbbc and slh 2 weeks ago. Thanks Herbie!

Hmmmmm........... quite a few people standing up for herbies in here...... just wondering how many of these people work there.

Why do people have to work there if they've had a good experience with the seedbank ?

We get countless threads where somebodys order got jacked by customs , or where beans didnt sprout , then the angry people come here to warn "Bash" us about the seedbank.

Ive often wondered how many of these threads are started by other seedbanks , that way they can slide in their favorite seedbank thats allways been great vs the shitty shop in the thread title.

RIU gets used alot for free advertising & i instantly suspect every seedbank warning thread as a shill post.

I have had success in the past with a few seedbanks and the previous order was good. But the last order i just had rotten luck i guess. I did order stealth this time around and selected them to be removed from packs..which made me even more sus.

But it was enough for me to never order from herbies again. If i only ordered a few seeds and lost 50 bucks ok..but 250 is a lot for me when i have a wife who hates me growing to begin with, even so handing money over for seeds.

From now i want all seeds in their packs. Thats the only way to really know if what you ordered was correct. Risk with seeds being confiscated at customs but hey stressing out about seeds not germinating is not worth it.

Check out the Vault and Gorilla. Never took my seeds out of the breeder pack.

Yeah its a bit suss when seeds that dont come in breeders pack dont work or end up being some weird hybrid. One of the autos that did work was crap..absolute crap. It took 3 months to finish which for an auto is too long. Oh and the smoke was shit..thing is i have grown this strain before and i swear they gave me some shitty strain which was no where near being an auto nor the strain i ordered.

Ill stick with herbies regardless...the white rhino germinated eventually ...its everyone to their own I guess

I do agree that their seeds are small as a nats balls.
I like their fast shipping but that's about it for now.
Got me some GHS Indica I from Attitude, bought 10. Germinated two days ago, 8 out of 10 have spouted.
I soaked in tap water for 24 hrs then put them in rapid rooters. Rapid rooters are the best!!!

Not herbies fault of customers seed selections
edit not saying this in a prick way

all you guys talking such good things about herbies I ordered some seeds... they where shipped 3 weeks ago and i'm still waiting... they want me to wait 5 more days. kinda sucks as the season is now. playing around with the date by as much as 30 days is not going to do me any good..

Got my seeds from Herbies a month ago. Arrived at address in 9 days and 100% germination. They get my vote.

Ok folks, I hope you're all still following this thread.
I decided to order from Herbies again.
Well, just like others say and what I have experienced. Small as a gnats balls came in the mail about a month ago. I ordered a 5 pack of Barneys Critical Kush.

I soaked them in plain ol' water from my well. Now I know what your going to say. So stop right there. My well is at 73 ppm. I run a whole house filter for sedements, and my well is over 300 ft deep in the great white north east. So don't even go there ok.

That said. Soaked, they cracked open, placed them in rapid rooters. Kept at a damp level and they sprouted. A few days later 1 by 1 are dying. Just like before.

So, I have seeds from Attitude and did the same thing at the same time. Wow, they are growing. Surprise!

Just a note... The freebie auto I got from Herbies took off and I have some freebie Afghan regulars but I don't deal with attempts to pollinate my grow room and Afghan isn't my cup of weed.
I would give them away that's how much I don't care for them.
Maybe I will place them outside next summer.

This will be my final order from Herbies.

Positives about Herbies...
Super fast shipping.
Great stealth (if you choose it)

Negatives...
Only freebies ever sprout and make it.

I give them a BIG THUMBS DOWN.

Trust me or don't.
If they work for you, GREAT.
As for me, I will purchase elsewhere.
I know I said Attitude in this message but, choose who you want. Just not Herbies.

I'm more interested in customer service. Seeds are seeds. If customer service said, 'too bad. fuck off.' then I'm more inclined to order elsewhere.

So I wrote Herbie's 3 times to replace my seeds that wouldn't germinate. I finally got them to re-send another pack of 5 Barney's Critical Kush. I have a feeling that it is Barney's seeds and not Herbie's storage of them. I say this because again, small ass fuck seeds and they were in an original breeder pack. 2 of 5 germinated. While I did this I germinated 15 seeds a friend of mine made. He did a cross with MOB & Snow Dawg. 14 out of 15 germinated.

Let's get some reports on which seed breeders fail, not just the seed banks.

I ordered from True North Seed's about 5 days ago. Buddha Cheese and Royal Queen's OG Kush. I will share that one when I germinate them.

So what you're saying is nothing has changed in 10 years.......

I quit ordering when I recieved a bodhi freebie with only ten seeds that had the 12 marked out on the package. So you skim 2 of the free seeds that bodhi provides for his customers. Fuck you very much sir.

never had an issue with herbies. Yeah, sometimes seeds got seized but you can always ask for a replacement or refund, their customer service works really nice, the germination rate is also pretty good, especially their own seeds. So they're reliable for me
