Of my 4 that I had, 3 ended up being male, 1 was an auto that did not auto as well.

He's sending replacements, hopefully those were just bad.

How vigorous was his response? Did he send you some freebies to partially recompense you for the many weeks of wasted grow time? It seems telling that AWB isn't here defending themselves. They're blowing a HUGE opportunity to repair a reputation that went from 60 to 0 in 24 hours.

I just got seeds from AWB, then I saw this! I wasn't going to grow them for a couple months, but now I'm wondering if I can get a refund, knowing that males are a possibility! I don't want to get halfway through a seed grow, only to end up having to pull some, and end up with less if a yield!

I'm going to see if I can get my $ back. I'll just go to Attitude for my seeds!

I just bought the last pack of DNA Sleeskunk from The Dank Team. Got a couple as freebies many years ago and loved it and crossed it with a couple strains. Taste and aroma and strength. Will f2 next summer. PayPal. First go with these folks and seems good so far.

Good time to check Greenpoint Seeds especially "Discontinued Seeds" under "Marijuana Seeds". Lots of high grade genes on the cheap!

He said the replacements should be here by Monday, no idea what he has put in the package. AWB may not be aware of this thread on here, I haven't mentioned it.

I have and the response is :

AuroraWindsBotanical replied to your message:

As much as we would LOVE to put a guarantee on nature, we can't. We do although guarantee 100% costumer service and if a problem does occur, it will be replaced immediately. Furthermore, A few males and a few slow auto's out of 1000's of seeds and nearly 700 orders is never a good thing but is to be expected from time to time, nature's a bitch like that.

I asked if the seeds were grown out and tested before being sold. Also note the seller doesn't grow or use cannabis according to a post on a different forum. The positive reviews are for shipping but there isn't much on his stock being grown out. I'm still hopeful but I only do 1-2 plants at a time. I would hate to spend 5 or so weeks to find out I have to start over. Hermies I can understand "haven't had any issue with my Nirvana gear, all fems" But full blown males and autos that don't auto is suspect. I think the strain are correct but he may be getting seeds from a breeder doing it in his basement.

I agree and perhaps I should clarify that I don't necessarily mean the retailer is falsely advertising on purpose, maybe he is being lied to or fooled in some other way. Who knows, but if I were a retailer of anything, I would do my due diligence on the products I offer for sale.

There is absolutely nothing in the world worse than a retailer who hasn't a fucking clue what they are selling. I refuse to do business with a seller who can't reliably answer questions about the products they pawn off on an unsuspecting customer base in pursuit of unethical sales.

Dear AuroraWindsBotanical.

What you say makes good, objective sense. If you've shipped 1000s of fem and auto seeds and only a handful have been reported as males or photo, then yeah, we get it; your guarantee to replace crap seeds holds some promise.

But here's the real problem: Those of us following this thread have only seen reports of maybe 50 total seeds ordered from AWB, at most, and of those, 6 of the fems came out late in veg as male, and at least 2 of the ordered "autos", weren't. Those are the numbers that we see, and it's not just a matter of "a few males and a few slow autos." You can *say* whatever you want, but experience is what counts, and our collective experience is that while you seem to know how to use the postal service, chances are good that if we pop 4 fem seeds, we're going to be wasting weeks of time cultivating at least 1 male due to poor breeding processes -- no thanks. Your reliable shipping and reasonable pricing aren't even close to being enough to make it worthwhile, and your flippant response only intensifies the view that you don't have an idea of what you're selling.

Too bad. AWB stirred up a lot of optimism and was on the road to being the goto seed bank for a lot of us in the US, but not now. Customers are a bitch that way.

Thanx for the update. I did send them a link, through their contact link, to this thread with some prose as to why their reputation is tanking here.

I did do,a search to see if any other fourms had reviews. There is a thread on an Auto grow fourm but not much there. I just want a reliable seed bank that has Fem seeds and not at $20+ a seed in the US.

I have enough gear to last me awhile.

Me to, these prices are killing me. The sad part is I don't smoke anymore for job reasons but still.

It has been said multiple times recently in this thread that James Bean co in the US (Oregon or Washington think) has fem seeds at halfway decent prices. Not sure how many different breeders he has that offers fem, but he has one breeder named Feminized, that seems to offer ONLY fem seeds. They aren't $20 per seed anyway but fem seeds from the US that are available inside the US without having to traverse customs will be worth it to those who are serious about fem seeds in the contiguous 48 states because they seem to be that or more from all the sellers across the pond.


I can't really offer any more suggestions because I am a Bodhi fan and have only shopped James Bean to date.

First time posting and fairly new to this. Working on 3rd small grow, 1-2 plants. First 2 were with bagseed so I picked up some seeds from AWB about a month ago. I got some fem GG #1 and GSC. Started germination in early Oct with 2 GG seeds. After reading about people having issues, I added 2 GSC in case something failed. So far they are just around the 3rd-4th week of veg. Just topped about a week ago and they seem to be doing well. I have them in 1gal fabric pots and plan on moving them into 3gal pots soon. Ill try to get some pics up later.
