Will Attitude Compensate for Their Mistake?

High everyone ; well, I bought a 5 pack of Feminine Auto AK-47's a few months ago, and guess what?

At this point 4 of 5 germinated, they are 4 feet tall and 2 out of 4 are showing undeniable male flowers. Two of them are indoors and two of them outdoors. The indoor ones are showing sex because I put them on a 12/12 cycle. I don't even know that I'll get a female with the outdoor guerilla grow.

I e-mailed Rachel at Attitude earlier today, but no response yet. There is NO doubt the packet was mixed up. What should I expect of this?

I will post pics as soon as I can get access to my neighbor's basement, but it is tough to access them since his kids are home for the summer.

Female seeds does not guarantee female plants.

I think they might tell you they are not responsible or will not even talk to you about germinating the seeds you bought from them, not saying it's right but germinating seeds is illegal...JR

Ok....well...you guys are right. I just thought I'd air out my experience to hopefully benefit others. It's one thing to sell a "female seed," but to sell an "auto female " and be zero-out-of-two means no quality control on packaging. Especially knowing that Attitude is more expensive than others, and I never had this mistake with Nirvana. An expensive lesson learned I guess. 'Back to Nirvana.

In retrospect, paying more for feminized seeds is a kind of a scam, right? I'll just buy "regular" next time.

It's like selling a bag of oregano to people......."I didn't promise you it was marijuana, which is illegal." Either way, I appreciate the input

man i totally feel ya. i got a ten pack of auto great white shark reg seeds hoping to do a seed run.all ten sprouted and are powering away. only prob is they are all female. never in all of my experience have i had ten outta ten female.i know thats its the opposite of what your experiencing but i think my order was stuffed up as well and i was given fem seeds.my order was also from the attitude.oh and just for the record female seed does equal female plants,thats why you pay a premium for them. they induce a female to produce pollen, but because the pollen is from the female it only contains female chromosomes,thus only making female plants.

Yeah nimbin beat me to it but I was gonna say the same thing. Female seeds do equal female plants if they are from any reputable breeder. I dont know what that guy was thinking when he said female seeds dont guarantee female plants. You can have an occasional hermie but never in my life have I heard of a 5 pack of fem seeds popping out 2 males. It doesn't happen. You obviously get regular seeds.

10 out of 10 ???

I hate you

yea but wen yure dealing with them dont say marijuana gro nothin, but use choice words or they can get in trouble there by responding to such seeing thier monotored in thier own country.by experience of course and they will fastly take care of yu,, jus thot i'd pass it on.i got a pac of grape krush compen. to me and i mentioned the seeds were dead or say crushed and they kno it covers every area and them.

Thanks for the responses guys. I have been doing this for over 35 years and I know I didn't stress the plants or do anything crazy to make them male. I haven't been back to their website yet, but I could've sworn it said "feminized seeds guaranteed." Plus, they were supposed to "auto," and they are still vegging after 3 months.

And yeah, Attitude has not responded to my e-mails, and I doubt that they will.

I don't see how attitude can guarantee auto's or feminized seeds. I spend a lot of time on the site and never seen this. Maybe you misread?

Hope ya get it figured it out. Attitude are slackers when it comes to replying Or busy whatever ya want to call it.
Def going to check back see how things go.

Yeah you're right....I may have read that on Nirvana's website.

edit: I just went to Nirvana's site, and it says "100% feminized."

yea they sell seeds man not pot plants. They cant guarantee fems bc they herm alot under crappy conditions. they even say on the purchase and customer support "these are novelty and atttiude has no intentions on growing and any questions asked about growing/germinating/methods and outcomes will be ignored"

True. But I went with Attitude due to their reputation, so I thought my odds were good. Even though there are laws and guidelines to follow, a good business is built on reputation.

And I won't ever get my souvenirs from them again. I should have stuck with Nirvana.

15 orders all female seeds all female plants.
Not attitudes fault.

Ouch! That doesn't make me feel any better. Insult to injury. How would you react if you ordered and put down money and didn't get what you paid for? I guess I'm not a good sport.

But what about my order? How can it not be Attitude's fault when I ordered fem autos and got non-auto males? That's what I ordered and paid for. I don't understand your reply. And I'm not high. Yet.

Well, I guess I will be a perpetual cloner from now. That way, I know what I got. I'm not trying to be a dick. I guess it just sucks to be me right now, huh? I guess if I received 15 successful orders, I'd be an Attitude nut-kisser too. I guess I'm jealous.


And I posted in the "Seedbank Reviews" section, thinking this was the proper thing to do. Review...... a.... Seed.....Bank..........

Because attitude did not breed them.

I am not trying to be a dick,Sorry about your luck.

I'd blame the breeder itself for such errors try contacting them too. I know of a few breeders that are very helpful even when dealing with resellers.

Thanks bro. I know I'm probably overreacting, but my involvement with growing is causing me a divorce. So this is a little more painful for me to put time, money, emotion, and a marriage on male seeds. I lose in every respect.

Live and learn.....thanks again.

Damn man,Sorry to hear that.

Thank you. This is off topic, but I am moving back to Hawaii in a few months where the laws aren't as lame as they are here in Georgia. And just 1 hour ago, I just checked my auto lowryder, and she's got bud rot from all this humidity. So I yanked her, and hope to get at least 50% of what's not brown or rotten. She's really frosted, but I needed about 2 more weeks until her calyxes got really swollen.

Thanks again bro and everyone who contributed to my thread.
