Not all seed banks are created equal…

Some seed banks suck
Not all seed banks are created equal

As long-time growers we’ve purchased a boat load of products and services to make our business happen and on rare occasion a product or a company didn’t provide the results we’d hoped for, but very rarely do we share a negative experience, for two reasons:

1. It may not have actually have been “bad”, it simply didn’t add to our workflow or improve our end product. So it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t for us.

And that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be beneficial to you, so we don’t want to prevent others from trying something that may be exactly what they have been looking for.

2. There are way too many online trolls who will eagerly (and with glee) rip something or someone apart (and think they’re slick and funny in the process). I just don’t want to be that troll.

But I’m sorry, but this was a horrible experience from start to finish and I just can’t bite my tongue any longer…

When we buy seeds it’s almost always from “I Love Growing Marijuana” for a few reasons:

* We always get quality genetics
* Shipping is always free
* Delivery is guaranteed (if you don’t get it, it’s reshipped)
* $5 off your first order (using code “5fromrobert” at checkout)

But we recently tried a seed bank in California called Pacific Seed Bank, mostly because placing international orders with a credit or debit card can be a real pain in the ass!

So, when an order from Pacific Seed was supposed to be for feminized seeds but we got auto flowers we contacted them (December 7th), informing them of the problem and explained we’d like the feminized version we paid for in our original order.

The process took longer to resolve (till December 22nd) and required more hoop jumping than I thought was really necessary, but hey, they agreed to reship the correct seeds so “ok”.

Then we were told that we’d have to pay $9.95 shipping for the replacement seeds, though very unhappy about it we paid because it was a strain we REALLY wanted (plus we didn’t have any other option!). Another 3 weeks dragged by and still no seeds so I emailed them January 11th asking the status of our replacement seeds and was told (that same day) our order was being “prepared for shipment”, to expect tracking information in a few days:

Marijuana Seeds
“Your order is being prepared for shipment…”

And because I complained about having to pay a second time for shipping to get the correct seeds I was told (January 12th) that some “extras” would be thrown in.

Pot Seeds
“here are some seeds because we screwed up…”

So, January 21st rolls around and you guessed it, STILL NO FREAKING SEEDS! So I shoot off yet another email with a, “where the f*ck are my seeds?” kinda tone only to get a response saying they had been delivered January 11th, the SAME DAY THEY TOLD US THE ORDER WAS BEING PREPARED FOR SHIPMENT. Amazing!

Cannabis Seeds
“no seeds for you!”

To their credit they did provide documentation showing the post office had left them on our front stairs but unfortunately, we had been porch pirated.

To which Pacific Seed said there was nothing they could do to help us, at that point they would be stepping away and we would need to deal with the post office for any kind of resolution.

Being porch pirated sucked, but not nearly as much as what happened before it – the slow communication, inconsistent, inaccurate information, and over all bad customer service with complete lack of empathy or ability to try and make things right.

So, might I suggest that if you are looking for quality genetics and outstanding customer service, try a company like “I Love Growing Marijuana”. You’ll also find some informative grow resources along with an updated and expanded Grow Bible.

Or, if you like paying for product you’ll never actually receive or customer service that sucks harder than a Hoover vacuum, by all means, give Pacific Seed a call.

A good news bad news kinda thing…

Marijuana Clones

First for the BAD news, for the last 6 years we’ve been giving away 1 free clone with each 6-pack that people bought. We did it in an effort to give folks a little more than they expected and to help them out in the off chance they ran into some bad gardening luck and had a plant die on them they would still have the 6 plants that they were expecting to get.

But this actually caused a problem for some folks, caregivers can have 6 plants per patient, so a 7-pack would throw their counts off. When cannabis became recreationally legal couples could legally have 3 plants each to grow so a 7-pack was a problem for them as well.

Considering we have never had one person tell us they “lost” a clone the extra was really unnecessary.

So, for those and other reasons we have decided to end the “giveaway” with each 6-pack.

Now for the GOOD news, in an effort to do “more than expected” for the good people who get their clones from us we are dropping the price of our 6-packs… moving forward 6-packs will only be $150!

Looking forward to meeting your 2021 clone needs.

Labor Day “buy 10 get 10 free” seed sale!…

Here’s a great Labor Day seed sale, the sale is “buy 10 get 10 free” on some outstanding genetics.

Keep in mind as you check these out that not only is shipping free and delivery is guaranteed, you can also get an additional $5 off your order by using the code “5fromrobert” at checkout.

Maui Wowie (feminized)

Maui Wowie Strain Origin (20% Indica 80% Sativa): Originally from the Hawaiian Island of Maui, this strain was first grown in the rich volcanic soil of its pacific climate.

Maui Wowie was developed from Hawaiian sativa and is the result of the development and work of Hawaiian hippies of the 1960’s and 70’s and is said to create the feeling of a beach vacation, it is a light, sweet, tropical flavored strain that has a strong following, largely due to the unusually motivating effects it provides.


Girl Scout Cookies Extreme (feminized)

Girl Scout Cookies Strain Origin (80% Indica 20% Sativa):

Like many great strains, this one got started in California. Because of its popularity it quickly spread across the states, then the world. Its fame is well earned. Why? Its balanced blend of both indica (OG Kush) and sativa (Durban Poison) deliver an enjoyable and balanced high.

This particular strain has been evolved by breeders into Thin Mint, Platinum Cookies, and this Girl Scout Cookies Extreme. Each version, although unique unto itself, shares the most loved qualities of the core strain.


Blue Dream (feminized)

Blue Dream Strain Origin (20% Indica 80% Sativa): This strain originated in the California medical marijuana scene. It became known for delivering that California vibe synonymous with great daytime highs. The strain is one of the most requested on the market because of its great blend between Blueberry Indica and Super Silver Haze.

Blue Dream is top shelf cannabis. It has a stellar reputation for easy-going all day highs making it the ‘go-to’ choice for daytime smokers. If you want a great high that can carry you through the day without plastering you on the couch – this is for you. Parents of Blue Dream: Blueberry Indica/Haze Sativa


Banana Kush (feminized)

Banana Kush Strain Origins (60% Indica 40% Sativa): This bright green strain of cannabis is an indica-dominant hybrid strain. It is composed of 60% indica and 40% sativa. Banana Kush was first bred by Cali Kush, tracing its roots to the State of California. It has a THC level up to 27% with a CBD level between 0.1%-0.7%.

The cannabis is as a result of a cross breed between Ghost OG and Skunk Haze strains. However, some say that it is as a result of crossing some other Banana strain with an OG Kush strain. This indica-dominant strain is considered legendary on the west coast. It is hugely popular in the California-based cannabis medical communities due to its medical capabilities.

Super Skunk (feminized)

Super Skunk Strain Origins (80% Indica 20% Sativa): The Super Skunk strain is a child strain of Skunk #1. It was created specifically for Skunk lovers by crossing the hybrid Skunk #1 with the genetics behind Afghani Indica. Sensi Seeds created this strain to produce thick, dense buds good for both body pains and reducing stress. It may be the very “first hybrid breeding project with Afghani roots.”

Clones…

Maine Marijuana
No, sorry to say we do not have clones available at this time, but when we do (likely late September) things will be a little bit different.

We have been informed by the enforcement devision of the Maine Medical Marijuana Program that we can no longer provide clones to anyone who is not one of our patients.

But first let me digress:

  1. Regarding the Maine recreational marijuana market, because of the ambiguity of the rules as they are currently exist we have not and will not delve into that market, and until there are clear guidelines and rules that will remain our policy.
  2. Our interaction with the the Maine Medical Marijuana Program – like many of you, I’ve heard horror stories about what has gone on when caregivers and “the man” collide. Let me say from my experience that I could not have been treated more like a professional that I was the day they showed up on my door (SURPRISE!). We had a discussion in which he listened to me (in what I believe was a true attempt to understand what I was saying), he explained thoughtfully their interpretation of the rule and other than disagreeing with the message he was delivering I can’t say one bad thing about their unannounced visit (we have had several email exchanges and conversations since that first encounter and I appreciate the continued professionalism).

So without getting into a long drawn out explanation of our discussion that day (though I would be happy to for anyone who might be interested) the bottom line is that moving forward we can ONLY provide clones to our own patients. You can check the rules regarding an official explanation of what a clone is here (http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/public-health-systems/mmm/documents/MMMP-Rules-144c122.pdf)

We respectfully disagree with their interpretation of the rule (or lack there of ) but unfortunately we only have an opinion, they have that AND the authority behind them (checkmate, they win), but we are working behind the scenes to see what can be done to provide more clarification in the hopes that we can return to providing clones to other medical marijuana caregivers and patients other than our own.

Lastly and while on the discussion of patients, those who have general questions on how to become a Maine medical marijuana patient or specifically how to become one of our patients are welcomed to email us (Info@MaineSeedlings.com) or text us (1-207-613-5650) for further information. We accept out of state patients with Maine reciprocity.
