This is lady chi.

It's really sad seeing trolls come out and take over this forum since chi is away. He has done more for this plant, and people that love this plant than most of you could possible realize. I've asked him time and time again to not give of himself so much, but he is dead set of moving this thing forward, more than any of you could possibly realize. We both sacrifice so much to do the work we do, and that means us spending months away from each other, chi spending time on the road helping out clients and companies get their science and message straight and helping them come into compliance. Most of the time this work is done quietly and behind the scenes, he doesn't ask for glory or fame or attention in the spotlight. He believes this is his calling and makes his tremendous impact silently, if you guys had any idea about just how much he does and how hard he works then maybe some of you wouldn't be so critical. On top of all this chi is a great family man that has done and continues to do great things for his family and friends. He makes sacrifices beyond what any of you could imagine. I've watched him put his life and business on hold for almost 2 years to save a loved one and bring their life back under control. When people say things can't be done he goes and proves them wrong and achieves the impossible. If there is one thing I've come to learn about chi is that those that doubt him end up with egg on their face. You want to see something get done? Tell chi he can't do it, that it can;t be done. Right now we are in the middle of one of our busiest times we've ever experienced. In case you haven't realized the world around us is changing, and changing in a way that a talented, knowledgeable, expert in the field would have his hands full as people clamor for his guidance and advice. Chi is away dealing with contracts and I'm doing my best to hold down the fort with help from friends, but nothing can really compensate for having the true expert away. On top of that chi manages the affaires of a very sick family member from afar and believe me it is not something any of you would wish to have to deal with, but chi deals with it with grace, compassion and fortitude and it just makes me sick seeing a bunch of kids that know nothing about our lives try to destroy the reputation chi has given his all to build for over 20 years. Ask anybody who knows him or the hundreds of people in this industry who know and respect him and you'll hear nothing but praise and respect for someone they know gives everything back to this plant.

I'll be working the delete button around here for the next couple of months. I'll try to offer what input I have when I can, but the fact of the matter is that I work 16 hour days around here trying to tame this beast chi created and at the end of the day when the chores are done I'm completely exhausted and have little patience or desire to come online. Like chi has said already he knows he dropped the ball on the customer service end. But what we have released is mostly done with special plants that are well known to the community at large. Those of you that take the opportunity to grab these up now without descriptions are getting a real deal. Those of you that don't want to buy them that's your choice and we all respect that. What we don't respect though is people coming here and whinging day after day after day. We get it. Making the same posts over and over again doesn't make anything different. We've got our hands more than full, so if that's not good enough for you take it to some other company who can give you the hand holding attention you need.Any more trolling posts like we've seen over the past couple of weeks will be deleted. This isn't your place to whine about chi not being here, or how he has tied up your garden for 6 months because you can't make a choice about what seeds to buy. Nobody is holding you hostage, you are all grown adults. There's lots of choices in this business, if you don't like it here go and find something else, but I'm not going to sit idly by as you trash on the hardest working man in this business thats for sure, because he gives and gives and gives and just because you can't see it or don't know the scope of his contribution that doesn't mean he isn't making a huge difference every day. He has the right to be away from the community just as everyone else does, and the trolls have no right to demand anything from him. If you don't like what you see here, or don't respect chis need for privacy or need to focus on things he thinks are important during this time, then don't click on this forum simple as that.

Thank you for the work and passion you both put into our beloved plant. Thank you on her behalf and mine...

Respect....

Give him our best when you get a chance.

Seeds aren't even available at Seedbay or Seed Bou...

So what difference does it make if the information isn't here either...

Just a passing thought.

yup not complaining, just spending my money elsewhere on seeds that disclose full genetic info...maybe I'm missing out...maybe im not...but I know what I bought, that I do know. and that matters more to me at this point. I don't just buy a product with only 50% of the info.

[puffinpassV2.0]

Frank, they've been available for months on a Canadian website. Lots of interesting, but mysterious "jack" crosses, and some feminized offerings as well.

You can save that "karma" bullshit for your yoga class. I'll gladly give you my condensed version of the first post.

"He's busy, fuck off"

I haven't sympathy for an uneducated consumer. Neither should anyone else.

I know exactly where they are available...

It's just another classic example of people leaching this sites membership and directing them to other sites...

Seems to be the norm these days. That's why ICmag used to have the rules they did about discussing outside vendors...WHICH I was actually against in the notion that if this site was to be the best site on the web for cannabis information, then it needed to be open to having information from and about ALL seeds...

But, I figured breeders had the decency to stock their gear at places where it was in demand and being discussed...

I never figured it would just become a place to advertise, promote and discuss - without actually providing the community with anything to purchase.

It's frustrating. I could care less about the seed descriptions as much as I do about not being able to buy them the same places they are being advertised...server space isn't free.

It's even worse when breeders send in place holder stock from YEARS ago (Bohdi for example) - and then continue to release new lines every where else - and then use that as a mask to say - our stock is sold here so we should be able to keep our threads going...it's a facade.

sb/sb was delivered the seeds in June
considering what chi has given this community over the years its pretty obnoxious to insinuate he's leaching off this site's membership
