I wanted to keep this in the same thread. My previous blog I gave an honest evaluation of how quick I got my seeds from Ministry of Cannabis. Seeds were in a small zip-lock baggie, w/ink initials of what strains I requested. No seed packet per say.
I germinated each strain 3 times, equal to 12 seedlings. I got 8/12 seedlings, 1 died in the early stages of grow, leaving me w/7 plants. The most dominate plant killed off the other, down to 6 plants. So I could say a 50% outcome, but the plant that got over took was overlooked, so maybe 60-65% outcome.
All thru-out the grow, the plants did very well. During flowering however, all the bud looked pretty much the same, smell the same. I had lost track of what strain was what earlier into the grow, figured I'd sort it out while consuming it. And there lies the problem you see.
All the bud is the same. Taste, smell and the buzz is all the same. Is it good bud? Yeah, but I know there is a hell of a lot of better bud out there to grow. Not to mention, the buzz is far from the discriptions of White Widow, Carnival, Big Bud and Kandahar the MInistry of Cannabis states on their strain info. So I thought I'd send them an email about it.

you have ordered 4 strains, and it is absolutely impossible that they are all the same.
However, we had problems in that period with an employee, that has been fired, maybe he wanna do some joke...
If you want, we can offer you a coupon discount for you next order, please let us know if interested.

I thought WTF, oh perhaps a joke?? He's Fired? How in the fuck does that help me? I thought then, the only reason they stated that this " troubled employee " pulling a joke on customers is that this not only happen to me, but others. Now, this is not me whining, but I am a homebound handicapt veteran with very limited income, trying to get a little bit better quality of my humble, pitaful life, but no, it's a fuckin joke. So I offered, offered I say, to send back the remaining seeds in exchange for the strains I ordered, paid for, there response was on 09-02-10:
Hi,
we don't know why, our it's just an idea, nobody else ever reported such a mistake.
Our bags are transparent and they are not marked before the preparation of each package. This request the attention from the operator that materially prepare the package
However, all the seeds are the best quality, and very different from each other.
We will resend you today some seeds, not the whole order, but something good from us, something powerful that can help to keep you symptoms under control.. OK?

All I can say is no show so far and I posted this on 09-18-10. So if your reading this and considering on buying seeds from MOC, need I say it....
Lesson learned, just hope all seedbanks don't operate this way. Now I worry that the next set of strains I just bought will end up like the ones I got from Ministry of Cannabis. Once again I ended up w/good bud, but not the bud I needed for my pain and you see there lies the problem also, another grow, 16-20 weeks, with hope I might just get there, start again. Don't get me wrong, I love the grow. Hate being fucked over, if I receive their seeds, doubt if I'd use them, hate to waste another grow, 19 weeks of my time and more cost due to a fucken joke, again.....like I said, lesson learned.........
