Only if you let them. The old cliche' 'the customer is always right' is a "get free stuff" pass for an increasing amount of people who have no shame. Pacifying enables them and encourages others. Conversely, look at the rep CannaVenture got for awhile for passing out replacements for custies w/ legitimate complaints.
My fastest clone moms are purple punch and glue. Slowest is ghost and wed cake
startin to think its like the herm issue. I guess the common denominator being getting free seeds. But those two subjects, no germination and/hermaphros are becoming the bane of most seed sellers. On the other hand, with IG etc, there are so many now, and you never know who the fake accts are, etc. In the old days on the boards, people knew people by time spent on the boards and correspondence. The current free for all is a trust your gut sort of thing, albeit some transfer from the boards to social media ok. Ive always thought it was bullshit, these two issues and then you'll find the grower prolly had a problem, during the round, etc. Why I'd like to chuck, but I'd give em away for free, lol, just to not hear the bitchin that may arise. That's the disclaimer, as is, arkansas auction warranty, if it breaks in half driving it off the lane, you get both halves, lmfao. I just want to legally be able to grow my own, help who I can, and keep myself in meds. But the scene is sure diff from say 10 yrs ago and 10 yrs before that.
Yeah I only got one strain and i think it was a mistake now I have to get more and play catch up
I do agree what your saying. But its like how everyone got free seed replacements from CV (prob many who didnt need/deserve them)...but when I brought up a legitimate concern and asked for an exchange on beans he admitted were a "bad batch" I then got ignored by Rusty. He even went as far as to offer free packs to folks just for telling him I was talking about him on RIU??? LOL I'll never put another dime in his pocket plain n simple. Had I just got my seeds, I wouldnt still have a bad taste in my mouth about that whole deal. I still dont know why I was singled out when I had a very legitimate reason for wanting replacements and offered to ship back my unopened packs from the very first time I reached out to him. Not gonna lie....the thought of reversing his LVTK just to give away for free did cross my mind. Fortunate for him, I have strong ethics.
Oh, yeah, I remember that now. Major mistake on his end.
I don't blame you. I won't either, but in my case it's because I grew a round of 4 CV strains and wasn't impressed enough to want more. The one outstanding bud usually yields grams instead of ounces. In your case, also, you're likely producing better plants at 3 Thirteen. Have you determined your retail prices?
Fuck Rusty. Open line of communication for the win. Everybody makes mistakes it's how you handle them that count. I had plenty of issues with his gear that was never addressed by him To my knowledge at least. I never asked for replacements ether did not feel like dealing with the poor communication.
Is there a list for noobs of places not to support?
You have enough good one's right here on this site to last a long time. Just hang figure out who is who and you will find plenty of good sources.
Oh yea. I think my stance is like Spider-Man, "everyone gets one" if they fuck up the replacement they go on the "too bad list." I think most people are legit in their claims but lately I've been seeing a swell of people "calling out breeders" for not sending replacements for various reasons but top two are "seeds didn't germinate or hermies."
That was the dumbest shit on his part. I mean one of the more stand up and solid members he fucks over but sent widow replacements?
Mine is early in flowering, but it is a nice plant. I’ll get a couple pictures once the light comes on.
and theirs today,i don't follow those losers.I think your a good person,straight shooter.Its just sad to have too make something public,to get some kind of reply.I would do the same,i'll be watching to see what happens.
