I Got Old Beans Cause I Failed to do Research First - Seed Boutique - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

lloydkahn · 08-04-2015, 07:42 PM

I have been gardening (organically) for over 50 years, so am not inexperienced. SB sent me 20 Taiga seeds, not one of which germinated. Upon notification, they sent another 20 seeds. Again, no germination. They refuse to refund money. Turns out they were old seeds, as I confirmed with Dutch Passion (who no longer supplies Seed Boutique).
The previous year they sold me old Power Plant seeds and I got 2 of 5 to germinate.

I'm sorry you had such a rough go with SB...I've been dealing with them for a few years and have been pretty happy so far. I had a bad batch of seeds from Nirvana thru SB a few times ago but just thought it was old stock. My last order went very well and I couldn't be happier. That stinks about your situation.

I suggest talking to someone at sb...be nice and explain the situation..i have had good luck with my orders..yeehaw...ask for replacements not refund..they did replace them once so they did try and resolve the issue..i wont buy DITCH PASSION seeds..they suck ass anyhow..ditchweed...I have some real old seeds that still sprout still..properly stored seeds last a long time

lol yeh id blame those goofs at dutch passion. their seeds are a joke... i took a durban of theirs in a trade out of curriosity. never heard anything good about their stuff. lol i always have good luck with stuff others dont. lol greenhouse, i never had a single issue with greenhouse...

dutch passion could change their name to double penetration. same initials... get it? twice fucked by them you are now op...

omg the op only has one post this bash post... i just saw and had to edit it... op do you have aanything else to add? maybe a post or two?

yeah , buy decent seeds from the start and you'll have no problems, I've never had a problem with seed bou or Bay . They've always taken care of me .

Scrappy-doo · 08-04-2015, 10:39 PM

Your thread title is misleading bro. So seedbay sent you seeds, then sent a replacement when they didn't work out, and now they won't send a second replacement pack. Sounds to me like they went out of their way to help you out.

You gotta look at it from their point of view. Some people will complain just to get free seeds. It happens more than you might think. Some sites, like the one with an attitude, won't even replace the first pack.

Just tell them you think the stock has gone bad and see if they can test them. If it's true I'm sure you'll get hooked up.
