Warning! Kind Seeds in BC is a rip-off

Bought some Master Kush from the Kind Seed company in BC, Canada and was sorry to see that they were bunk. In my opinion they were not developed enough and young and as a result they produced sickly plants that produced very little THC. I have been growing for years and have never had such an unfortunate experience from seeds. Went through the hassle of bringing them to bloom only to find out they were garbage. Luckily I have since found a local source from a reputable firm but thought I should post here so that this doesn't happen to others. My only recourse is to pass on this story every chance I get.

what was bunk about them? you dont really explain much

Sorry, you are right - I elaborated a bit more in the original post. Thanks for asking.

not trying to play devils advocate here but have you thought maybe it was you? or type of soil ect you used?

What do u mean by not developed enough?

They were young, small, light in color and not as old as others I have gotten.

I grow in water and have many other strains going now that are doing well, I grew my first crop close to 30 years ago or 27 years i guess it is.

not every plant is the same some take longer to grow, some are slower, some are fat, short, skinny, tall,
not every plant looks the exact same.

also if it wasnt your fault ya know, wouldnt your issue be with the breeder itself and not the seed company, i mean hell the seed company did their job by sending you the seeds.
as far as i can tell theres 2 breeders on there with strains called master kush one by dutch passion and one by "home grown"

I can agree with that. However, in well developed strains there is a certain consistency. I am growing an Afghanicas indicas right now that is very uniformed. Plants are like people - there are good ones and bad ones regardless of the parenting or living environment. Having said that, the number one factor for determining the amount of THC that you will realize comes down to genetics.

right but it wouldnt be the seedbanks issue they did their part they sent you illegal seeds, you would than have a problem with the breeder of the specific seeds you ordered...

I disagree with your assertion that the seed retailer isn't culpable.

I am legal so I am not sure the seed company sent me illegal seeds to borrow your term. I have a Federal license to use and produce.

Did you buy seeds out of your country? If u did its illegal regardless your medical status and the brredbanks don't say anything about you popping your seeds just for collectors purposes.

No, I am local to the company. I am not sure what you mean by collectors purposes or what it is exactly you are trying to say.

Well the seed banks aren't selling you the seeds for the intent to germinate most have a little part somewhere that says this is for suvaneer purpose only. So them not popping isn't really there fault.

Not to say if it was grower error. Which I'm not saying you are guilty of but it does happen to the best of us with what you've said I'm sure you popped your fair share of seeds.

Doesn't matter if you're legal or not. Seeds are not sold for germination purposes. Most seedbanks will not discuss germination, as the possession of seeds may be legal, the germination of them is not.

You must live somewhere other than me - we have shops on the streets that sell them in the open. It is not illegal for me to buy them here in Vancouver, however I don't doubt that it is illegal where you live. They openly discuss germinating at Kind Seed company and other Canadian banks.

Luv the picture - did it hurt?
