I ordered the LA Affie and got the Chem91 bonus. I gotta say I'm real disappointed. 3 of the Affie seeds were crushed, and 2 out of 10 Chem91 seeds were premature. Contacted Attitude and they want me to send the beans back and then they'll see what they can do. IMO that's bad customer service. I've spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars there. I'll never shop there again. I contacted Swerve via pm 4 or 5 days ago to see if he could do anything. Dude didn't even get back at me. Respect has been lost. If I had a company my fist priority would be the customer. To not even reply to my pm when I was courteous and polite about what happened, says a lot about the man and his company. When half of your customers order is damaged, you should do something about it. I've been trying to upload pics of my packs for the last few days, but I guess there's probs with the site. Once it gets fixed you can expect me to start a thread detailing my experience with pics from start to finish. I will give an honest report of what comes from these beans as a courtesy for my fellow growers, and attempt to not be biased by this very bad start.

you shouldn't complain about FREE seeds i understand that it sucks that the affies were crushed but u still have 3 other seeds grow them out and the amount of bud you end up with when you harvest (unless your a horrible grower) should be more than enough bud to pay back the 100 bucks for the pack and the same goes for the chem 91 but you didnt even have to pay for those.. also if you find a good pheno you should be able to keep it around and realy make your money back.. i could make a thousands and thousands from one right seed... i used to get mad about the same shit till i realized it doesnt matter as long as you find one keeper outa a pack...

OK, first off learn some math dude 5 out of 20 is 1/4. Still sucks and I know kids have problems with fractions so I'll let that go.

Was the whole package crushed or just the seeds themselves?
Do you have any pictures of your packages and seeds?
Sounds like swerve hooked up the packages that he thought could be deficient with extra seeds so either it's an honest mistake (and it happens in business!) or this is bs. Your reaction makes me think the latter since this is the first problem you've encountered and you're up in arms. Really?

I just took a look at my pks of La Affie and 91 after reading the reports of problems. Using a scope all of my 91s look fine. The Affies are another story. These are tiny seeds and I wouldn’t have noticed the problems without a scope. One of the seeds is missing about a ¼ of its shell and three more show cracks in their shells. I really have my doubts that any of the six are viable. These seeds weren’t damaged during shipping and its not attitudes fault. The problem lies with Cali Connection’s lack of quality control. I took my 1st $100+ chance on CC’s gear because of the promo but ended up disappointed.

Lesson Learned. :mad:

Learn some math?

There are 6 femmed beans in the affie and 3 were crushed so 3/6 = 1/2.

Yes the Chem91's were free and 8 out of 10 are good and I'm happy to get them, but I did not order the Chem91's I ordered the LA Affies.

Perhaps you should learn to read. I have been trying to upload pics for the last week, as stated in my original post. I even started a thread on it:

https://www.rollitup.org/support/584804-please-help-me-upload-some.html#post8282373

The packages the seeds came in are undamaged. This is a quality control issue with whomever is packaging the seeds. The Chem91 beans were obviously premature how anyone could possibly miss that I'll never know.

This IS an honest mistake. I'm not blaming Swerve for this it's not his fault. But this isn't about fault it's about customer service. I'm feeling shafted and nobody cares my order is damaged.

Now I didn't realize there's a cannabis cup happening. From my point of view I sent him a PM addressing this and I saw that since then, he has had the time to log in at least twice, read threads and post in those threads but didn't have the time to get back to me. It takes 10 seconds to write back and say you're busy atm you'll get back to me. But I complain about it on a public forum and in within 3 hours I get a reply. I guess this is the way to get a response.

Rest assured I WILL start a thread with these beans once I'm able to upload pics, and my experience with them good or bad. If this gets resolved then I will be sure to apologize and say so. But I don't take kindly to getting the shaft.

EDIT - Thread has been started. See it here: https://www.rollitup.org/seed-strain-reviews/587391-cali-connection-la-affie-chem.html

^^^And this is why I decided to post what I did. People need to know if there are problems with the stock. I hope more people who read this inspect their beans and don't just assume they're good.

Brokeoldbloke- This is EXACTLY what happend with my LA Affies. When I first got the package I could see one was damaged but the others looked fine. I would never have known there was a problem until I actually picked up the seeds to do a pinch test. When I did so, the shell of one of them came off just picking it up, and the other one had a cracked shell which was obvious with a light squeeze. I have good close-up pics to show this and will post them once able.

Anyone who ordered the LA Affie should inspect their beans if they have not done so yet. I'm sure this is going to be the case with more people's beans.

Ibl usually means f6 and beyond. I think at one point he was using a f5 to make some lines. The ibl is out now so even more stablilty to come. And the reason you don't see it at attitude is cause it isn't yet.


Congats on the cup swerve...good showing.... Can't wait for lions tabernacle!!

This was my 1[SUP]st [/SUP]time buying from Cali Connections. I was hyped to be able get these rare strains in seed form. I ordered mine the 1[SUP]st [/SUP]day of the promo. I didn’t want to hate but when a company introduces a new release with damaged seeds that says a lot about that company. It doesn’t matter how dank the genetics are if the seeds are non-viable. Cali Connections has a serious quality control problem.

My seeds look more then viable and mature! Got them today and I'm more then happy with the quality. 95% of the time if a seed don't pop its something the grower did. Its a seed.....its soul purpos in life is to germinate and unless we as growers do something their almost always going to do their thing.....I'm no pro just seems like common sence to me. I don't see anyone puting cracked or broken seeds into packs when they run over a bill per pack. You don't make a name is this buisness for screwing people over.....you'll sure get a lot of haters for putting some fire out there and being who you are though.

Do you Swerve....

well i guess it works out then in a shitting od way. cuz we are pulling the la affie due to conflict of interest with our friends.. and im a man enough to do that rather than spread and talk shit.. so if you got it feel lucky cuz she is gone and done once stock sells... i got to many real world legit genetics that would make all these dutch companies even the ones with ties to the states cringe cuz of the legit clone onlies we have and seeds lines in the works to deal with infighting and drama. hell we re about to kill it with our cbd lines.. real legit ratio's not 4:6 ratio's true legit 1:1 2:1 3+:1 cbd to thc ratios......hell Our pre98 bubba hit 12.6%CBD then a year later 12.8% CBD with 2% thc. our Lions Tabernacle was 14% CBD to 1.6% or so thc...TRUE MEDICINE!

Lol it's funny swerve u r promoting marijuana for CBD only... Tons of people use it recreationally way more than medically... Yes it is a great medicinal benefit to our society but being able to use weed in any form is the goal of most. So don't fight the people fighting for you brother you need to see beyond politics and focus on what we can accomplish together man.

Those using it medically are looking for these types of breeds whats so funny about that? He cited not wanting to fight with his friends over the Affie drop..... how is that political fighting? Sounds like a concession to me! Sorry to dog you man but it pisses me off when I end up reading some garbage that just wasted precious life on nonsense and sometimes I just gotta roll on it.
