Meh, I'm a lurker, not a troll. How dare you?!

What advise do you have MR Country for anybody in Australia pondering the wisdom of ordering cannabis seeds online? Are they getting through?

Or are you just here to dribble shit too mate?

Some seed makers are making silly packaging for their seeds which make it less stealthy.

I know a bloke that had three or four orders through like, Bonza seeds, or one of those 'pick n' mix' guys.

They break up original breeder packs and send a snippet of the pack for each seed you buy so you have evidence it's the real deal. He orders online and a week later has what ever strain his heart desires. White widow, Black widow, Thai, Papua Gold, Headband, Northern Lights, Vanilla Kush, New York City Diesel, something from deep Africa or sunny California, what ever from where ever you fucking want.

I don't know about ordering whole packets, it's more expensive plus as you mention their is the packaging issue. Strike rates are great for people who know wtf they are doing so you only need to order a couple seeds of each variety you want anyway.

Get some fems, guaranteed heads from EVERY seed.

Want to grow VOLUME? Order some Critical Mass and see how the fuck you go.

Or not. Depends if you have the balls I guess.

Use the seedbanks with confidence, using your own name, credit card and home address, .
That is really stupid advice. Do not use your own name and do not use your grow address if you have a choice.

Say what you want about Mudgecko's tone or opinions fellas but what he's saying is true.

Bottom line: too much mail, too little time.

Yes "this shit" might be illegal but to round up the deputies and sheriffs and go over to little Johnny's house over of a pack of 10 seeds he ordered online? There'd have to be a shite load of corroborating evidence, eg. wire taps, witnesses etc. Otherwise that would be an enormous waste of police time/money.

If your seeds are wrapped up well and aren't in the thousands, nothing to worry about.

Oh and also, if customs do decide to confiscate your pack of seeds, they still have to prove that they are indeed an illegal plant variety.

If they can't tie the confiscated seeds to your grow operation, the most they could land you with is a fine. But even then they would have to go through the time/effort of testing the seeds to prove they were from an illegal genus and then charge you for it.

Send the seeds to an address that's not your grow op and keep your mouth shut and you'll be golden.

I understand what you are saying but on the odd occasion people have been busted by importing a small quantity of seeds in the mail. There was a guy on another site a few years ago who got raided as a direct result of ordering seeds with a credit card to his own address.

Seeds in post led to hydroponics pot bust

ROANNE JOHNSON | July 7th, 2010

A CASTLE Hill man has been busted importing marijuana seeds from the UK to create his own home-grown hydroponics operation in a unit owned by his mother.

Australian Customs and Border Protection Service intercepted a package on August 16 last year.

It was headed to a local unit complex from Ireland addressed to a "Terry White".

Officers at a New South Wales port became suspicious after checks on the local residence revealed no one who lived at the address went by that name.

Upon further inspection of the package it was revealed to contain three packets with ten cannabis seeds each. The packets are sold legally overseas from a cannabis seeds supply company, under the brand names "Dutch Passion", "White Label" and "Flying Dutchman".

Brett James Dickson pleaded guilty yesterday in the Townsville Magistrates Court to several drug-related offences, including unlawfully producing, supplying and possessing a dangerous drug.

Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Greg Mobbs said the 36-year-old man was arrested when police attended a Castle Hill address. Officers went to the Mills St unit, owned by the defendant's mother, on June 12 this year.

Dickson admitted to police when they arrived that the seeds were his and then gave them a tour of his in-house hydroponics set-up.

"He revealed he was growing cannabis," Sen-Sgt Mobbs said.

"He showed police eight plants located in the bathroom off the main bedroom."

The prosecutor said the marijuana plants were being grown under a sophisticated hydroponics system. "They were under several lights, being ventilated by fans, using a power converter and an amount of fertiliser," he said.

While in the main bedroom 26g of cannabis were found in a bowl and more hydroponics lights located in the cupboard.

The defendant admitted buying the equipment from an online hydro store. In total 105g of cannabis was found in the unit.

A mobile phone was also seized with a text message revealing Dickson had supplied the drug to a friend in April, 2010.

However, he claimed to police he did not sell cannabis and that drug deal was "a one-off thing".

Defence lawyer Ali Lyons said Dickson, who is currently unemployed but once worked in real estate, turned to cannabis to address some health problems.

"He had two heart attacks two weeks apart in 2009 and suffers from anxiety,' Ms Lyons said.

"He took up smoking it when a friend offered it to him and he started growing it after that for personal use."

Magistrate Peter Smid did not record a conviction for the defendant who had a clean record.

Dickson was ordered to do 60 hours of unpaid community service.

These are the only 2 instances of people being raided that I know of for sure. A few others have claimed to have been raided.
Personally after a couple of packs not getting through I have given up ordering.
Stay safe.:tiphat:

Good article there mate, I'm also sorry to hear you haven't had much success importing beans.

I was particularly drawn to this quote here:

"Dickson admitted to police when they arrived that the seeds were his and then gave them a tour of his in-house hydroponics set-up"

I would love to know whether they actually had a search warrant or whether the cops just went on a fishing mission and just flat out asked him at his apartment.

If he caved and just let them in then he deserved to get busted lol.

Similar crap happens to me, except the mail is lost here in the states months before begins its voyage across the water. When i send cash, i use registered mail, i can track it down to the last postal worker who touches it (and i have done just that before).
When i send it Priority mail, and they jerk me around about declaring customs value, they think im going to declare customs on a letter. They even told me they changed the law and i have to declare customs, and i say "They changed the law over the last week?" So they mail it.. but not priority by any means unless its low priority in a priority envelope.
Funny thing is... My order gets back to me in less than a week once payment arrives.

So i know you dont make it up, the same things happen to me, but in a different way.
Where they get you with moneyorders, they get me with out bound mail.
