Your right, the biggest reason we the customer get bunk seeds is you dont know how old they are, another problem this time of year is shipping in this heat, take fast buds, an American co located in spain, but they refuse to sell to individuals in the US, only to banks, so if you want fast buds you are forced to go to a bank that's why once in a while you get bunk seeds, ck is a breeder not a bank, I buy directly from mdanzig and sweet, no problems, so your absolutely right it's the banks and once they have your cash well u know, I'm only telling u my experience, it's a free country grow what you want, I have been growing since I was 15 so yes I can pop a seed, but your absolutely right go to the source, if possible.
