Nirvana and free seeds?

[yamiacaveman]

Ok, so I see this forum endorses Nirvana for buying seed. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm already not in a good frame of mind with this company. The reason is; I tried to contact them Through their contact page, and I believe i am about 4 days waiting for a response, to me not a good sign of any good customer service or any future dealing.

Anyway, here is the question I asked -- I'm not sure if it is on every page when buying seeds, but on the right hand side with all the check marks (for the individual seed specs) it has a check mark with 10 free seeds.
So what does that mean exactly. I buy 5 seeds at 40 bucks and get 10 free? Or spend 100 bucks and get 10 free, or 10 free per order?

anyone any Idea's, personal experience?

Thanks for any info

I've never used Nirvana but I can use Google.

And here it is on the actual website on the Marijuana Seeds tab. Did you try looking before posting?

I have ordered from them and will do so again. Their free seeds are not labeled and totally random. I believe they just throw in seeds that fell on the floor while packing. Their AK-48 is a great strain. Their stealth shipping is really good as well.

[yamiacaveman]

Hey, thanks for that -- I went straight to their site and they just say 10 free seeds.

So now, where does it say a minimum order size?

What I mean -- 1 order 5 seeds for $40 x 3 -- $120 -- 15 seeds , 10 free -- total 25 seeds.

3 separate orders 5 seeds $40 plus 10 free 15 seeds $120 plus 30 free seeds -- 45 seeds hmm big difference

[yamiacaveman]

I guess I should get my eyes checked, and my mind, this getting old shit stinks, :-).

But what still constitutes an order?

[OzBud]

Sorry didn't mean for that to sound so rude. Glad I can be of some help.

no minimum order amount. doesn't matter if you spend $30 or $500 you'll still get those same ten free seeds (although the larger order may end up with more). If you want to put in 3 different orders then go ahead, just work out if it's worthwhile paying for shipping on 3 orders to get 20 free seeds. Not sure if you'll know the strain but I think people here have mentioned something about mystery seeds from Nirvana as freebies, could turn out to be any strain and they're regular, not fem so you'll end up with some males.

[yamiacaveman]

Ok gotcha, but why no response to their contact -- common, like most other seed banks?

[OzBud]

I'm sure they're pretty busy. I don't know why it takes so long though since it's only a simple, easy to answer question. Maybe they were hoping you'd find out yourself by looking around the website.

[yamiacaveman]

Well on second thought my eyes aren't too bad, perhaps my brain.

But google search on Nirvana sent me here https://www.nirvanashop.com/
the clicked on auto's https://www.nirvanashop.com/17-autoflowering-seeds/
Took me here:https://www.nirvanashop.com/marijuan...utoflower.html

All I seed is ten free seeds on that last page, unless I missed something again.

[OzBud]

Personally I wouldn't bother with the extra freebies if you don't know what strain they'll be plus the risk of having males just wouldn't be worth it for me. Feminized all the way!

[Grinder]

Correct. The freebies could be anything, male, auto, etc. I don't grow anything I don't know what it is, their freebies aren't useful.

[yamiacaveman]

Thanks! Are they good to deal with overall? Or should i move on.

[OzBud]

I haven't used them as they don't ship to where I live but if they've got the thumbs up from GWE that's good enough for me.

[bobsakamoto]

i've used them, i was very pleased.

[Cannabis-me]

Very good customer service you might want to attach your order number when you're trying to contact them

[St.buds]

I placed an order from seedssupreme 2 weeks ago got a email about delays because of holidays and the new legal states they have alot of orders haven't heard shit yet but will contact tomarrow but I'm not worried because I've used this site before and they have decent customer service never used nirvana but they have a reputation to protect I wouldn't worrie they hardly ever email u back right away good luck

Nirvana will send 10 free seeds if you order 1 item from them, doesn't have to be seeds. ie- when I order the flowertabs-10 free seeds are shipped, too.
They are a small operation and do not have the immediate response time of large companies. They are in a different timezone which can delay responses a few days.

Remember, breeding is an art form and you are dealing with craftsmen, who pay attention to their product more than acting like a Fortune 500 company.

It has been suggested the Mystery seeds may be new strains they are working on, but not finished with the breeding.
They will not answer any questions about the freebies, as they don't know what you get.
I sent a request- Do you ever have auto's in the Mystery Seeds? It went unanswered, as promised on the website, lol


Currently have 2 Mystery Seeds in flower- waiting for confirmation of sex.

I order from Nirvanashop and very happy with their products and delivery.

I placed an order today!

[bobsakamoto]

pretty much my thoughts exactly...well put....

[Cannabis-me]

Agreed completely

[Beach_Town_Brit]

I've been very happy with Nirvana across 3 different seed orders. Regardless of the size of an order you just get the same 10 free seeds per order in my experience.
However, I'd recommend you don't factor the "free seeds" into the value of your order at all.

While I love Nirvana's seeds and strains, the mystery seeds are kinda bullshit. 10 mystery seeds from a renowned breeder sounds like a great deal on the face of it, but in practice Nirvana mystery seeds have only ever been a waste of my time. Consider that you have no idea if the seeds are M or F, auto or photo period, and you're wasting resources as you grow them to find out. Also consider that these mystery seeds are cast offs by Nirvana and potentially genetic mistakes. One of the Nirvana mystery seeds that I grew started really robustly, it was clearly sativa based and stretched up like crazy in veg. I even got kinda excited by the plant for a while, until at 15 weeks of flowering I gave up on the useless thing which just refused to swell its flowers no matter what I did. In the end I'd wasted 5 months of grow resources on that thing for nothing.

Consider that other breeders give away genuinely valuable "freebies" where you know what you're getting with their orders.

Yes, Nirvana is missing an opportunity to get people trying more of their strains. I'd rather have 2 labeled (fems would be even better) seeds from a random strain than any number of mystery seeds. It costs too much time/$$ to grow out a plant to be wasting it on a mystery. I just throw them away...
