And you are entitled to your opinion. I am not sure that it was $20 but I did pay for the use of the card and for myself I am good with that.

Mine was 20 bucks, just double checked the receipt. I am very much entitled to my opinion that it’s outrageous. Not saying crop king is bad or good in terms of product. Others can chime in on that front; I’ll chime in next fall after flower.

USA folks should check out SeedsHereNow, rocketseeds and North Atlantic Seed Co

SeedsHereNow is great but I would avoid Rocketseeds like the plague. They are also affiliated with Crapking seeds. This came off the Blimburn seeds website. Now this is in Canada where I am but I would not support Crapking or Rocketseeds. They are both known for being crooks.

Canadian Customers Advise
We advise our brand followers in Canada that we have been made aware that the company Rocket Seeds which is linked to Crop King Seeds (and also wholesale activities in Canada) is selling Blimburn packaging with non-genuine product inside. We are very concerned on behalf of our customers in Canada and across the world that that only genuine product is being provided and sold under the Blimburn brand. Neither Rocket Seeds or Crop King Seeds hold brand licenses or have our permission to operate under the Blimburn brand. Please ensure that you buy Blimburn from legitimate and reputable sources only and avoid these companies. We appreciate your custom and your continued loyalty."

Just my 2 cents here, my first order was from crop king, had 5 purple kush seeds, none germinated. I also got sour d and Durban poison, had about 80% with them, each having 1of 5 not germinate. I called them and they sent me replacements for the kush, and sent a different strain at my request. In my opinion perhaps not stellar seeds but excellent customer service. The genetics seem on point. I have since ordered from NASC and had 100% germ rate and no problems to date.

Problem is that they scam people with bunk seeds so really buying from them is supporting their efforts to steal from growers. Not all their stuff is garbage, that way they have folks out there who speak of the good seeds they got. I found the opposite with their service when I purchased autos that were not autos, they would do nothing about it. That was my last order. I did get some decent white widow and Northern lights from them before that. I just dont like that they scam people and cause so much trouble for many that dont know better. To each their own, folks are going to buy from where they like. Thankfully for me I am past the point where I need to gamble on the genetics I am buying for convenience.

This year I ordered from 2 different sources, Seedsman and Crop King.
See comparison below.

Seedsman:
* 17 seeds purchased ($11.43/seed), 8 seeds were infertile – 53% germination rate.
* 8 freebees received, 3 were infertile – 62% germination rate.
* Average cost per seed including the freebees; $7.84/seed.
* Time from acknowledgement of payment to delivery of seeds to my USA address: 58 days

Crop King:
* 20 seeds purchased ($13.00/seed), 5 seeds were infertile – 75% germination rate.
* No freebee’s offered.
* Time from acknowledgement of payment to delivery of seeds to my USA address: 6 days
* Of the 20 seeds received, some were crushed; contacted CropKing that day and 6 days later
replacements were received.

Personal Rating for Seedsman;
Ave. Cost per seed; 5.0 stars
Germination rate; 2.5 stars
Frustration rate: 2.5 stars (the aggravation of losing 47% of one’s intended crop size.)
Delivery time; 2.5 stars
Total; 12.5 stars

Personal Rating for Crop King:
Ave. Cost per seed; 3.5 stars
Germination rate; 3.5 stars
Frustration rate: 3.5 stars (the aggravation of losing 25% of one’s intended crop size.)
Delivery time; 5.0 stars
Total; 15.5 stars

Next year I'm going to try a couple of US firms for comparison

Give Hembra Genetics a try. They’re out of San Diego.

Crop King seeds are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

I live in Vancouver which is where CK is located, as such most head shop sells their seeds.

They had a booth at the 420 festival and sold them at reduced prices, so I purchased several types.

Some have been nightmares, and other were quite decent.....hence it's a crap shoot with their seeds.

Do remember, Crap King is not a breeder but merely a distributor that uses excellent marketing tactics with poor customer service.

Cannabis seeds are going same route that cereals/greens/etc did in the past, the only thing you can do about is make your own seeds to preserve your fav strains, otherwise all ppl is gonna have whatever the big players wants.

Aroud 2014 or 2015 I has to stop sending seeds to a few friends in the U.S because of Spain laws, now few months ago I tried again and lawyers tell me that now is not only Spain laws, but U.S laws too, seems that now is more "dangerous". It made me so happy in the past to send seeds to my U.S friends wich taught me sooo much :(

Freedom is every day a more fairytale, it's feels to me really... idk how to call it, but feels like shit.

peace
