My god! I saw a video on vice about those assholes! First, the arrogance straight up annoys me. If you even have your toes dipped in the growing community, you are quickly aware of the history of that bank and how generally shitty their generic offerings are. Next you have them in this video straight up molesting plants and being completely ignorant sounding while holding immature beans, acting as if they've struck gold (all part of a good marketing ploy).At ten mins arjan explains how the inbred land races exist..they fail to explain by going there and trading beans with the locals they are destroying that very seclusion they are coveting!!and I can't find the video that made me dislike the guy but he walks up to a wild plant and just starts ripping leaves off and molesting the buds smelling it like a crack head making noises and stuff lol he is just a schmuck id never give them money for their Hermie prone junk rebranded or not ..just me though..the reason they got popular is the same reason many garbage breeders survive..hype! They make YouTube videos for the sixteen year old kids and a prepaid via that will never actually grow the plants, they have a good name and gimmick...and get lucky sometimes just my opinion
I would not touch either company (well barneys again since I did grow vanilla kush, a goddamn joke!).Who ever watched a strainhunters video knows what kind of people Arjan and his minions are. As mentioned before, they've crapped their rubbish seeds all over india and who knows where else and if somebody tells them what they are actually doing they stupidly defend their actions without even thinking about it.
Also, there are rumours that Arjan and/or GHS were involved in bribing the judges at the Cannabis Cup a few years back. Or was it Barney's Farm? Nevermind, they both dropped off the shopping list a long time ago.
And who calls a strain Money Maker anyway?
No, I think SLH has legitimately won everything it's won. It's won blindfolded secret cups too. I've also had some really excellent Arjan's Haze. It's easy to hate (they particularly make it easy), but the reality is they have some great lines in their stable (as well as some that probably aren't so great). I understand not wanting to buy from them for other reasons.My god! I saw a video on vice about those assholes! First, the arrogance straight up annoys me.

Do they win cups? Sure, just goes to show cups can be bought (as they were and banned for a short period of time).
Some of the hate is legitimate because of bad growing experiences, but most of it stems from winning too many cups and Arjan being too full of himself. That being said, I've enjoyed every Greenhouse strain I've tried. SSH was super potent and got me wrecked, SLH was very uplifting and enjoyable, and HS had a really nice clear heady high that morphed into an enjoyable stoney head high, weird creeper effect with that one. From what I sampled all three of those deserved the cups they won IMO.No, I think SLH has legitimately won everything it's won. It's won blindfolded secret cups too.

Interesting opinion! My opinion is the Jack Herer is just one of the most deeeelicious things on the planet! Just coz Chocolate Cake was invented a long time ago I ain't gunna stop eating it And The SLH wow just smooth and fine like wine! but lemoneeeeyyyyy.... U shud try the Jack Herer outdoor in Spain WOW its booooooooooommmmtastic!!!!! YUM!Most of the strains I have tried from Greenhouse may have been top of the chain 15 years ago, but there is just so much better out there now. Like the above post mentioned... SLH, good but not great. Jack Herer, eh I will pass. Cheese- played out and not great to begin with, etc...
But would you buy a chocolate cake with no icing when there are types of Chocolate cake out there all iced up and ready to be scarfed down? Analogies are fun!Interesting opinion!

Yeah coz these days they just make the icing way too sweet!But would you buy a chocolate cake with no icing when there are types of Chocolate cake out there all iced up and ready to be scarfed down? Analogies are fun!
cc are hit and miss too.greenhouse sell the most seeds,so ofcourse they will have the most negative reviews.but many more ppl are happy with greenhouse strains,than what arnt.i personally dont grow their stuff,but they have lots of fans,who keep them in business.I always stay stick with the tried and true strains! A hard hitting indica like OG Kush gets my vote everytime for the couch lock high. Dr. Greenthumb/CaliConnection/RiservaPrivada are all awesome seed banks with some of the best genetics in the world. Dr. G always gets me my beans in less then a week, never had any problems with cutoms or not getting orders. I don't recommend buying from a seed bank. Why go through a middle man? The best places to order seeds, IMO, are from the breeders themselves. You can call the Dr. personally, and that goes a long way with me. The only bad things I ever see about him are his prices!
