i sincerely recommend not sending money to this company or even using them in general on grounds there owner is an unprofessional and most likely a thief...

Damn, hadn't heard of them before but nice heads up

I used SVOC recently and was so happy the exchange went smoothly and of course it's a dream being able to get seeds here in the states. A few of my Seedbay orders went missing so I'm using them since I can use tracking both ways, (fingers crossed I don't get ripped there)

We've spent over 15,000.00 usd purchasing seed this year alone and a bit over a 1/4 of that was spent at the site mentioned above. Cash in the mail and exceedingly happy with all the orders. A bit over 10% of our budget was spent at seedbay and as far as that goes, I have had a couple issues, beans snagged by customs and OP and Clarence took care of me right away. payment went awol in august..... took a bit Clarence took care of me. Every bank I've dealt with this year has been great except for one and that was a walk in here in BC LOL

yeah im a bit more inclined to think someone in the post office sorting room was able to get into the envolope and take the money, and reseal it, sending it to its desitation so they couldnt be pinpointed...

BUT, when it comes to the owner of the seed bank, the way the guy contacted me and was yelling and extremely rude and hostile from the first sentence... no compassion for my loss, he acted like it was a HUGE problem to help me run through some situations/options to figure out what happend, totally rude and uncalled for... i can go into specifics but basicly you shouldnt have to ask to speak cause the owner is constantly yelling and wont let you get in one word in... left a really bad taste in my mouth...

if he was considerate of the situation of me losing money and not acting like i was pestering him trying to figure out what happend i would not have one problem with the company and chalk it up to normal mail order seedbank problems..

but now i cant recommend anyone use the company on grounds there owner is an inconsiderate dick... not the worst of crimes but definitely not professional... bro!

ive wasted enough time on this situation id like to forget, ill reorder the seeds from a different seedbank and on to bigger and better.. hopefully i wont have to use a seedbank again..

pics on ig @eastbaygrower , ill upload soon...

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with SVOC. I wanted to at least chime in that I've always had good experiences with ordering from them. I had an order not show up up once but he worked something out with me and resent a replacement. I missed out on a BOGO deal but he didn't leave me out in the cold. I've met Jay in person and he was nice FWIW. There are plenty of good seed banks to order from though.

Here's a couple of pics.. just need to finish transplanting the final 15-20 or so from red cups to 1 gals... most of the seed plants are starting to show sex so we'll start selecting and i want to flower out the lvrk breeding room asap so ill prob just keep em in 1 gals, its just a seed run after all...

couple notes:

-ancient og is no joke, super vigerous... might cross it to some ther indica strains with great terps to bulk em up and make em suitable for outdoors, purple urkle/kush and deep chunk come to mind...
-the in the pines is super sativa lol
-the lvrk x blr has these weird unfirm leaves very short stour indica leaves, its weird not like the pure lvrk next to it, possibly a blr dominant phenos? but all 3 of them have it, ill get pics soon
-biggest indicator of phenos in the lvrk seems to be leaf structure (i believe thats how ras selected also) since ive previously grown the sour d and purple kush, both in the lvrk, i can try to select for the purple kush dominant phenos by looking for its leaves which imo differentiate from the sour d by looking like long fingers, not quite wide indica dom, which is what the sour d look more like to me, short stubby, like the blr x lvrk

there's gonna be alot of pics of veg structure, leaves, and overall just borrowing stuff to alot of people, i like this kind of stuff thou, documenting phenos and how to breed for them, ect.. stay tuned and dont hesitate to speak up!!! i enjoy the comany






Here's LVRK #6 , i believe it to be a male atm, the chosen male so far for the pollenation is #1, good leaf structure, smell, sticky stem rub, all things i look for in males..



here's a Bubblegum Haze (pisswreck haze aka pmp haze x indiana bubblegum og) i made last round, there;s something about this plant (and cross) its just got "character" for lack of a better word, super serated leaves (which i think is a bubblegum trait) short, with great side branching but not slow.. really hope its a female since im only flowering out some of the indiana bubblegum og crosses to see whats in the seeds.. seeds are soooo small i hear its a common trait with the hazes..

[Morcheeba*]

looking good


on the ITP my male that i cloned has been in a solo cup since roots formed and it now root bound and while under 16/8 lighting it dropped pollen. it looks like they need plenty of root space so watch them if the get root bound.


peace

went on a bit of a topping spree (for better or worse i dont know lol) all but only a cople lvrk got topped.. maybe i shoulda left a few to see what the untopped structure looks like..

there's been some flyers around that i ID'd as root aphids, no damage to plants yet, still have fuzzy white roots, but want to keep it that way (did see a bit of the phantom def) so i did the nuclear option and went with the Eclipse420 Riptide/Orethene combo as a drench to kill any bugs before flower, also did a pray of the pots and topsoil with riptide (important to get any of the ones trying to flee)

im surprised how well the plants took to the dunk, didnt skip a beat, no drooping, burnt tips, just a spurt of new healthy growth think im going to add this to my routine as a pre flower dunk.. since i believe the root aphids are just in the environment outside and are inevitable

the plants have filled the 5x5 tent so i gotta get the breeding 3x6 closet ready... should have it flipped within the week..


alsmost all the plants have sexed so far, really happy with the male/female ratio, worked out almost perfectly...

~5 lvrk females/2 lvrk males
3 lvrk x blr (all uniform indica plants, have pics)
and then 1 or so of each confirmed females of these strains to see whats in them..
orange cookies x blr
dosidos x bubblegum og
cookie frost x bubblegum og
piss wreck haze x bubblegum og
in the pines
aog

the breeding tent will be :
males: 1-2 LVRK
females: LVRK, LVRK x BLR, cherry pie x gsc, thin mint gsc, gdp, sfv og, blue zkittlez, white, royal truth, and cookie frost

then the rest of the plants will be flowered out unseeded in the 5x5 tent a week or so later, possibly in 3 gals..


group shot, getting crowded..


two LVRK x BLR females...

its not possible to keep the males seperate ? then select individual females to be hit by a certain male ?

i like this best cause you can narrow in a certain set of offspring . one of the crosses might be awesome , but if you used 2 males will have that bit of variance .

i also like it if one set of offspring are average , can just bin them and on you go .

all looking great , do ya thing .
