I've ordered from Nivana four times with 100% success so far. Last time I mailed cash, no problema. I recommend using cash. Government data mining credit card billing records? Who knows. But it's one less thing to think about if you trade with cash.
I've read a lot of comments about Nirvana and, like anything else, they are not perfect. But overall, they seem to me to be a stand up company that reliably delivers a quality product.
Some recent pictures:
Nirvanna Blackberry Fem day 14.
It's a tribute to the strength of the seeds that these girls they are alive at all. Being the newb I am, I came home from work during germination and the paper towels had gone dry. I immediately got them into soil and kept it wet and 4 out of 5 made it with one runt that looks like she will be just fine.
Nirvanna AK48 Day 35
Here's my AK48s in veg at day 35 enjoying life under an air-cooled 400 MH with roots nice and cozy in about 3 gallons of Happy Frog per plant. I spoil them with the Fox Farms feeding schedule. Big Bloom is liquefied worm poop and bat shit and other nutrients and looks like a YooHoo chocolate soda. My girls like it. Grow Big is 6-4-4. I use RO water and PH it at 6.3. At day 30 I knocked up the roots with KangaRoots and Microbe Brew which introduces a couple of dozen types of mycorrizae* and beneficial bacteria. You can see a few yellow spots if you look closely. May fault due to inexperience. I was foliar feeding and left some drops on the leaves with the lamp on. Otherwise they are dark green and vigorous, bushy and not reaching. The plant on the lower right has had 20% of it's leaves deformed since seedling, but otherwise is growing well. Slightly defective, but still one of my girls and I'm her proud papa.
