Im new to the cultivating world of Cannabis. When I first started, I was wary of where to buy my first seeds. Mostly because I didnt want to get ripped-off. Anyway, I was on this site, that served as a library for Cannabis strains. There they had an icon you could click on, if you wanted that particular seed. It led me into buydutchseeds.com.
Now, this was my problem. I live in America, and not in a state that has decriminalized Cannabis yet. In fact, its one if the more stricter states. Furthermore, I still had the fear, of getting ripped-off. I started doing research, and found no complaints about them. Also, I was using a CC. So if worst comes to worst, I can always chargeback. I ordered 10 Diesel seeds & 10 White Rhino seeds. The site said, "for deliveries to America, expect 1-3 week delay". Fine, I get it. So, I ordered, and started the waiting process. 5 days after I ordered I received my seeds in the mail.
Very happy. It came in an unassuming package; really cute.
Now, here is the fun part. Every site, book, and video I read, told me to expect the following. Out of 10 seeds, expect only 8 to germinate. Out of 8, expect 6 to be healthy sprouts. Out of 6 sprouts, expect only 3 to be females. LOL, this is the reason I bought so many seeds, right. All 20 germinated. Some took 1 day. Some took 5, but they all germinated. Out of 20, 17 reached the Vegey stage. Some are large, and some are runts, but they are healthy. NOw, the reason some runts are, because I only have a 600w HPS bulb, and under the table I have 6 CFL's. Im happy that so many germinated, at the same time. I had no idea where to put them. Right now they are cramped. I just started the Flowering stage this morning. In a week they should show signs of gender. I will be able to get rid of some. I also Cloned 5 of the more healthier looking plants. I numbered them, since I dont know what they are yet. If its parent is a male, I can just take it out. Hoping for good females.
As far as buydutchseeds.com, the only problem I have is; they are a bit limited. They have a lot of strains, but some of the one's I was looking for to grow next. They dont have. I wrote them, and they said " they are planning to expand there inventory in the future. So, I like there response. Usually companies like this, tend to be a bit set on there ways. They seem open minded, though. Next thing I will buy from them is 10 afghans & 10 blue cheese. This time I will be prepared. :hubba:
