They are bisquit eating Monkey Dogs. 3/7 sees were delivered 0 blue dream 1/4 pounder and do-si-do do great that they delivered but this company screwed my around big time. And don't be fooled they are related to canuk too.

Nice first post.... Will be taken for what it is worth.
Weird. My northern lights autos went 0/5 and they were being grown side by side with some OG kush that all germinated. I’ve been trying to get compensated for months from them and what a disaster. Not sure what’s going on with these guys but I’ll never order from them again

If you dont know facts then dont spout bs. I dont know what breeders you buy from but if you use good honest breeders you can learn alot about the industry.
Cannarado, Archive, in house, Oni, thug pug, relentless, dynasty, Clearwater, Raw, thug pug, seed junky, prolific coast, bodhi, Gage green, etc... I could keep going on with lists of breeders who use proven real legit breeder cuts and clone only elites in all their works.
First tip to find a "Real" breeder is look for a line. They will have a male plant that gets hit to lots of gorgeous ladies to make dope crosses that these elites are all found in. Look at Canuk seeds offerings and find me their lines? They have all only clone only elites for sale at all times? If it's too good to be true it is.
Man ya gotta research these banks and breeders and the strains. Like foreal research, read and watch everything you can. I've always had 100% germination with humbolt blue dream, and I've ordered them from attitude seed bank, and seedsman. And same with the royal Dutch northern lights. But that's just me. Ive probably grown over 50 of each, both being autoflowers. Your best bet is to always go with long term breeders and banks who have a long term history, and honestly, my best plants have always been regular photo period seeds, and my top teir plants are undoubtedly seeds i got from mid grade or bunk seed weed. I would imagine because their is little to no tampering with their genetic lineage. Who knows, but those seeds have always been stronger and more resilient in my experience. But its been years since I've even seen mid grade. Femmed and auto seeds in the last few years for me have been a headache, they produce way to many ovules, always herming, weird leaf growth here and their. 90% of the time i always get big dank nugs, but I'm always stressed that if I don't check on them every day they'll herm, and ill lose a whole crop because these phenos have been inbred and hermied for almost 3 decades now. And it has definitely had negative effects.
Has anyone heard from these guys in the last month? They’ve completely gone off the map. Just trying to get a response about those northern lights that never germinated has been embarrassing. Crazy way to run a business.
-sell someone bunk seeds
-ignore them for months when they complain
won’t be getting my business again. What a disgrace

First post here, for what it’s worth. Registered to share my experience with True North, and because this forum seems like a good source of info for a new grower like myself.
First order placed mid to late March. Small order, 2 Northern Lights Auto, 2 OG Kush Auto, 2 Purple Kush Auto. Took a while to ship (2 weeks I’d say), then once shipped was delayed by Canada Post for another 2 weeks (this was during height of pandemic meltdown). So about 4 weeks from ordering to delivery. Already had plants in veg (photos from Peak) but popped a NL Auto for fun about 4 weeks ago (new grower, just messing around). It was a slow starter but doing fine now, and is beginning to flower.
Placed another small order mid-May (2 Jack Herer Auto, 2 Bruce Banner Auto). Shipped about 10 days after ordering, arrived a week later.
Next grow I’m going to germinate most of these autos and I’ll post here what my germ rate is. However reading several threads on the trouble people are having I doubt I will be ordering from True North/Canuk again.

What other breeders have you run?
I'm curious to those that like Canuk, who else have you tried?

All these first time posters flagging true north for poor service, and others with the opposite has me thinking there is some attempt to game the system here.
I did have a normal good transaction with true north for some of crocketts tangie. My sister grew out a canuck freebie outdoors last summer, it was a fem, and did grow and was decent herb... Blue dream i think.
Has me wanting to place another order just to see if all this action is just bullshit, or i will receive the beans in breeder packs in about a week.
Betting covid slows it down bit but last year it was less than 7 days to mass.

I havent run a ton of breeders yet. Im just say as far as their service and germination rates go, excellent. Out of like 20 beans, no duds.

Haha, ya getting the same vibe. Everyone that I've seen or talked to that has actually posted proof of their grow has said they have not had any big issues with them. I'm sure the covid thing only made an average at best customer service even worse for awhile.
And to the "genetics snobs", as I'm starting to think of certain growers as...yes they are a lower tier breeder with less developed strains and knockoff gentics, but you're also getting seeds from these guys for pretty damn cheap unless you're a dummy. I still stand by my earlier statements, they are a good breeder for beginners and for experimenting on or cheap bulk seeds. Take two minutes to research and know what you're buying. I choose them because they are cheap when on sale and get a lot of good feedback overall. Of course there's better breeders out there with better genetics.
I'm 6/6 for germination and my buddy has popped another 3/3, all fem, no hermies and I'm close to harvesting the first of the autos. Should be getting around 3-4oz off one of the freebie seed i got with its "unknown gentics" and it looks very nice. and I'm still an amateur grower that made some mistakes with it. No complaints at all here.

Far to many of those.
When I placed both my orders (quite a while before COVID), the first one got lost; replacement was sent with no hassle. The second order was during that 70% off sale; it took like 3 weeks to ship but I was in no rush and I knew that amazing sale would lead to long ass wait times. Of the 20 beans me and a friend have started, all have grown but none of them are to harvest yet.
And as far as the snobs go..... a lot of the time crossing that "grandaddy garlic caramel og widow" with "diesel wedding glueberry sherbert" just gives you the marijuana equivalent of this guy....
Update: Truenorth got back to me via email and apologized for the delay. They originally offered me 3 free seeds but because of all the hassle, they offered me 5 free seeds. They should be in the mail this week. Just wanted to update my experience. Still not impressed overall, since my OG kush autos sure don’t seem to be autos and my northern lights never germinated at all. However, most other seedbanks are slow as well and to their credit, they did eventually respond and make things right.

Who gives shit about who runs it.
I live on the Tyendinaga reservation all
I can say is as a returning customer i bought 10 seeds of Aurora indica and not one of them germinated.
I called and the only thing you offered was 3 seeds and they had to be canuk seeds.
I ordered from this sht hole 3 times previously and all i got was a slap in the face for 105.00.
So native run or not its bullshit. As for native run, Toronto is not a reservation so as the guy working at NTSB go fuc your slf and stick your seeds where the sun doesn't shine

Wow, I'm amazed they sent you free seeds, that's pretty great customer service when your germination issue might have been poor germ practices.

They do but the 10 Aurora indica i bought not 1 germinated and got a slap in the face when i contacted them about the issues and that was from a returning customer

Just putting what I know out there for peeps to decide for themselves...your original Aurora Indica purchase was Canuk? They are all knockoffs using not noteworthy pheno's from non-verifiable sources, do your research before shelling out big $$$ for crappy seeds. There has never been a solid rating on the web for TNSB so why the surprise. You can always get elite clones of IG for 200 bucks or so LMAO. NOT. The seed biz these days is not a 'get what you pay for' market, it's who can look like they are 'trending' the best. Most chuckers "breeds" aren't available long before the first grow reports hit the boards. Look for strain reports and grows not seedbanks stocking the cheapest 'new' strains. I ordered DNA genetics and got them, I didn't like the promised (but not) discretion on their credit card billing, is/was disregarding their customers IMO.
