Hoping I can take a majority of my GP gear by day 70 but it seems a lot like to go well into the 70s. I have 6 different GP strains going though so we'll find out. Regardless, I'm excited.
You can always drop the light back an hour to "speed" up harvest by a few day or a weekish just do 11/13 on off. It will hurt the overall weight a bit but helps for those longer runs. Sometimes, lol, depending on how much sativa she is anyways.

I've ran 11 on followed by 10 on later in flower to try speeding up a few stubborn plants. I was already at week 8 ish when I tried though, some of the plants went into the low 80s, I believe 83 was the final day.
I may experiment a bit with that. Couple days is a couple days.

well, in a 36 hour period i got hit for over $4000 worth of charges that weren't mine on my credit card. RBC caught it right away and called me. i was in amsterdam on business and missed the call while sleeping. saw that it was a 1-800 number and called it back and the automated system said it was RBC's card security department. i immediately logged into my online banking and sure enough, 2 charges that i hadn't made. i couldn't get ahold of them before getting on my flight so i called when i landed, and by then $3000 worth of new charges had been made.

needless to say they cancelled all of the transactions and the card.

seriously, DO NOT USE THE CC OPTION unless it's a prepaid card. you WILL get hit by this!
Clearly just a JJ sock account trying to ruin Gu’s reputation. /s

Sucks dude, sounds like they tried to fuck you hard with those huge charges.

Been running a year at 10/14 with no apparent drop in yield and maybe a couple days quicker to finish. White COBs mostly and white/red led panels where needed. 420 watts with three COB fixtures in the flower tent right now.
What size tent you run?

So obviously we are having an issue as a group. So instead if continuing to bicker about it, we should try to help eachother out, because the problem isn't going away for now. So we all kinda agree that prepaid would probably be the best choice, and I tend to agree because as trust worthy as GPS is we need a solution we can use for all seed banks. So here it is, virtual cards. You create them, load them up, use them, then delete them. Start over for your next purchase.

Here is just one of many that I've gone through, but there are more.

If any one has any experience with virtual cards that they actually use. Let us know. I think this is something we should be talking about.

Edit: Other then that there are actual cards you can use such as green dot, and I think Wal-Mart may have one called bluebird.

Maybe someone should start a thread about the issues regarding the PayoFix credit card processor so it helps buyers across the board?

That is, if the intentions are genuinely to warn new buyers and not just bicker in the GP thread...which is usually the direction things take in here. (NOT directed at those trying to be helpful or who've reported issues)

SHN uses it and so do a few others....though you'll never see those banks put up a warning either.

Point is, this issue is not unique to GPS but many seedbanks and buyers should be warned. Sadly, most posts here get lost in a sea of toxic sling blade replies and self-righteous tirades.

I had my card info stolen on a CC that I had never used (I don't use CC anymore) . I went to buy a new car and they asked for a CC to show I was serious.. the next day I had over 2k in different charges. Should new car dealerships ban CC?
No, but they should fire and arrest that car salesman that is a thief. You should have not fallen for that either.

But I have used a CC online for decades, including at Herbies several times. never a problem. First purchase at GP and hacked....

You said in you original post you cancelled your card because of the reports here...not because your info had been "hacked"?

They emailed me to approve my cc transaction but after reading this forum I emailed them back and told them I would not approve my green point transaction.
I added a text alert to my card. Not sure if this is available for all CC or banks but it gives me some peace of mind. I wont use my main card for any future purchases with PayoFix. Pre-paid seems to be the easiest route.

Either way, I still think this issue deserves its own thread. One google search shows this is an issue across many stateside banks that use PayoFix.
Buying seeds is risky but there is a lot of useful info that could be stickied in a thread in the Seedbank review section.
Pre-Paid cards
How to send cash safely
The difference between "tracking" and "delivery confirmation"
A lot of info that could help buyers new to using stateside banks.

I agree. People should be warned. And I agree, all banks using payofix should be informed of the problems associated with payofix. Outside of SHN and GPS, I don’t know who used them as a CC processor, nor how to easily identify the processor without having to make a purchase. But a sticky thread would be a great idea. All banks should be alerted to these issues. If any other banks were aware of the payofix issues and did nothing about it, they deserve to be raked over the coals as well.

However, I don’t think Gu should just be left off the hook because it’s a problem that plagues multiple banks. We’ve known that payofix has been a problem for weeks. A customer emailed GPS multiple times about his CC info being stolen. Yet they did nothing. As recently as a day or two ago, Gu posted saying that CC was fine, which is obviously not true. But despite the plethora of evidence indicating that payofix is selling info, it still got a bunch of likes. (He also said that the bunk S1’s rumor was false, so maybe people should stop taking his every word as the truth).

That's kinda my thinking with regards to a stickied thread. A list of all banks that use PayoFix as their processor. I would never have googled it had I not seen the issues people had here and I wouldn't have known about the issues that the other seedbanks have had using it. Ya follow? Its been another long night for me so forgive me if I'm repeating myself.
Its not just the CC issue either.
People have lost hundreds sending unsecured cash as well and with the amount of seed collectors and growers I have no doubt a thread with some bullet points would prove beneficial.
I would do it but right now my attention span and critical thought process is practically nonexistent. It would take me forever.

I got a call from the bank first, then I came and saw all the other posts. That confirmed to me is was not just a coincidence that I got charges the day after I used my card there after not using it for weeks anywhere else.

Go nuts though and use yours if you think it is not true, get back to us.
