Thanks for letting me know what day of the week it is, folks! :rolleyes: We're on that permanent vacation thing here. I don't have to go anywhere cus I live in a place that's exactly what I used to look for when I went camping here in CO. Creek/mountains/trees/basic solitude. Ruined me but good...LOL.
Toss in COVID...and that extra layer of isolation....and I've gotten far too used to being here/with the wife/have to force myself to go anywhere anymore.

For better or worse...I'm basically the exact opposite of most Americans who go, go, go and are planning for their next trip before the one they are on is finished. LOL. This poor planet...

I'm a total homebody too even though I live in a 'city' of 20k. I focus on my house and my grow and occasionally golf.

Ah customer service, do you ever actually read the complaints.
I had complained to Blimburn that the auto flower seeds I bought were not flowering and should I switch to 12-12 to induce same.
I got back a detailed treatise on growing cannabis.
I replied that I had answered my own question and when I switched it to a 12-12 light cycle it flowered.
I explained again that the reason I was complaining was because I had expected an auto flower and what I got was a photo period sativa, kind of the opposite of what I ordered. I got back a long diatribe on mexican sativas and their growing requirements. Folks it was supposed to be an auto flower. They have yet to address that and at this point never will because I am done with them. Meanwhile I have what I hope is not a long flowering sativa because it's going to get hot in the garage and it might get cooked before it can finish. Lesson learned is this, when there are so many excellent breeders out there why waste time and resources on a marginal seed company.

I mean I searched around to see what was good and reached out about a good tropical tasting strain sativa like a melon or pineapple with just as much CBD with. They emailed me next day with a strain they have that would be good a mango CBD with good levels of THC to CBD ratio but after reading what just happened don't want to give em a try now.

Absolutely! The Gary Payton I have going is Blimburn (have a few other beans from them in the cupboard), so I'll see how we finish up. I feel that pain, since there are only a handful of reputable ones who ship up here to the frozen tundra ;) I'm eyeballing True North/Canuk for summer run as I struck out with NASC when my Sister in Law in Massachusetts didn't want to bring beans back up here/over the border.

Why didn’t you have her mail them? Potpourri kit with warmer from Walmart… open package, seeds in potpourri package with aromatics and reseal all. Send out. Simple as that. Person to person usually won’t be inspected. Seedbank to person is iffy.

I don't mean to completely trash Blimburn. They did respond and quickly, they just didn't answer my questions. The plant in question is gorgeous. They have a large selection etc. I have seen some beautiful plants from Blimburn. I would though put them in the same category as ILGM, Pacific, Growers choice and Weed seed express. Mass producers and relatively reliable, they serve a purpose. They are a good place to start for a new grower but we can do better.
The plant in question, looks like it finally stopped stretching.

Even that would be too much effort for her. She’s lazy AF.

At least True North carries reputable breeders, though they largely push their in-house Canuk gear. Look, I’m not seeking enchanted, unicorn dusted, rare genetics. I just marvel that sending seeds across the border is still, in this day and age such a catastrophe.
