My experience with Nirvana has been excellent. Seeds always arrived on time and the stealth shipping made me laugh. I have 8 packs of freebies but I believe I have only ordered from them 4 or 5 times. I have grown about 8 of their strains and found them to be pretty stable and a good representation of what was advertised. I just love their Master Kush and highly recommend it. Dense, stinky buds. I did find some strains where very sensitive to nute burn, but that was probably operator error.
As far as the freebies go, I wouldn't touch them. I don't even keep them with my usable seeds. I think Beach_Town_Brit has the best story on why you don't want to use a seed that you have no clue what you are getting. As far as freebies from other vendors/breeders I have grown 2 and both were deficient in some way. I grew an Afghan freebie that had just horrible leaf to calyx ratio. I almost through it out but decided to see what became of it. Buds were dense and leafy. Smoke was amazing. So the freebie may have potentially been a known problem in the pheno types. Using freebies may be cool to experiment with but realize you may be wasting your efforts. Plenty of people have great experiences with them and I will still grow some freebies if I can trace it's lineage.
