    Growers choice

    Has anyone else noticed anything wrong with growers choice seeds lately? This is my third purchase from them and always before I have had a good experience with their seeds but I have issues with their seeds this order with only four of eight seeds popped.

    I received 5 GG auto and 5 critical purple auto seeds from them last month. So far I've only tried to germinate 3 GG autos, all 3 popped but one was bizarre. It never grew any root hairs, just a tap root and it had 4 nodes. It was extremely limp and hadn't shown growth for 3 days so I gave it a slight tug and it slipped out no problem which was how I discovered it had no root hairs. Of the surviving 2, one of them seems to be very healthy and happy but the other is quite slow, possibly stunted from being over watered once along with me trying to learn LST. They are both at 33 days today. I'm not sure if it is more bad genetics from the breeder or my lack of experience that is causing my issues though. I have heard good things about North Atlantic Seed Co. They carry seeds from Fast Buds which I have seen friends grow with great success. I was thinking of trying them out next time I purchase seeds.

      Someone else beat me to it. IMO Growers choice sucks. Recent order: 5 chocolope fem photo- only 2 germinated, 5 strawberry cough fem photo- only 1 germinated, 5 gorilla glue fem auto- only 3 germinated with little to no tap root hairs, waiting for them to break soil, 5 alcopolco gold fem photo- 2 started easily last March and were manifolded and high stress trained, 3 germinated and waiting to break soil, but the two that started last March turned out to be autos. All of the seed germination was done with paper towel method with bag seeds next to them. All the bag seeds germinated. WTF? Now I am not confident on if they got the strain correct. What a rip off. I now have more bag seed plants than "known" strain plants.

      Not at all happy with them.

        Yeah I'll definitely be ordering from somewhere else next time.
