Aussie Growers Thread

[Dopedogg]

Hello fellow Aussies
Good to see we make up a good part of this site still making Australia proud !
Ive been busy getting ready for this spring again, gonna go bigger and better than any of my other grows and ill be keeping you all updated !
Im down south in Vic and just wondering if anyones got some good strains that are gonna do well down here .
Ive been looking into a few, got a list of some that i thought might do okay, but looking for some more options

heres what ive had a little look into
- Early Skunk
- 2 Pounder (although i cant find a good site to buy some feminised ones off)
- Hollands hope
- Africa power?

Any victorians or other Aussies that can help out then go for it, and at the end of the season we wil have our own mardi grass at my place !

Oh ok, yeh im a bit of a noob when it comes to this so any info helps

Thanks benjamin, i wont ask about stealth, ill just trust it haha

That's what i mean, imagine how frustrating it is for these companies going to all the effort of concealing an illegal product through customs then people plaster it all over the net for everyone to read. This leads two ways- companies forced to change their packaging options and if people took insurance on the stealth options, consider the cost of resending all those beans! Or the company gets fed up with customers giving the game away, take away their insurance policy so if you don't get it bad luck and continue their practices at the customers risk- we have seen this happen many times, ever wonder why they stop shipping certain places for a while? Or people start throwing up posts all over the net smearing what is really a good companies name forcing a mass drop in sales so they change their methods and the rep online goes up and so do sales, think back on how many times the tude has done and been through just this. Now i don't blame their shipping methods for this, i've recieved beans with success but they always use a limited number of stealth options whereas herbies have never sent me the same thing twice. Attitude has great packaging and deals/pick and mix however their methods are commonly known if you look hard enough. If it's something i absolutely have to have i bite the bullet, pay the extra and go through herbies. I've never seen a report from any other seed banks to aus aside from nirvana before they stopped shipping here. Common opinion is attitude or herbies to aus

how else they gonna sell seeds? word of mouth sells

 

[JT91]

Yeh fair enough, i didn't even think about that :s haha do u get them sent to your grow address though? Im tryin to find alternatives to doin that lol

If u dnt wanna post it on here can u pm me?

Cheers

 

[[420]Haze]

Thats awesome haze, did they pack it stealth? If so how did they go about doin it? Have customs ever seized your beans? I really wanna order from attitude but wanna get as much info possible before i do haha

Did u get it posted to ur grow address? How did u pay 4 it?

Cheers

Mate, I have used a few seed banks, Attitude is fine, I paid via credit card online using legit info, the pricing is ok, delivery was 8 days, and no it wasn't delivered to where my grow is. I'm happy with Attitude though, I chose to get the seeds in the original breeders packs, i got my UFO freebie, also got my t-shirt, on the package it had a customs declaration which said 1 x t-shirt 1 x storage tin, no questions asked, got through fine. I haven't ever not received an order from Attitude. Planetskunk is also solid, they have the best payment method, you direct deposit into NAB account anonymously over the counter using your order number as reference, delivery is also fast as he'll, orders normally arrive inside 7 days, packaging isn't crash hot, it's a normal envelope, if the letter weighs under 500 grams it is classed as paper mail and cleared without scanning. Thats why planetskunk delivery so fast, ive also used Herbies, I will be having crack with seedsman next order on advice from a knowledgable member here. Hope that helps, straight up, it's good to be cautious, but don't be paranoid. Worst thing that happens if customs seize the parcel is you receive a letter stating its seized and if you want to claim it take letter and front up to customs collection, obviously just don't go, you have 14 days to collect before they destroy the parcel and the contents. LoL Cheers.

No offence mate but no one should be tellin you too much info about how seed companies do stealth online, anyone can read it, take it from fellow users, i have personally ordered from herbies and attitude with success, no letters or beans destroyed but i do know someone it happened to and yep as long as it's not a massive order they'll just seize them and send you a letter telling you where to collect your package, if your stupid enough to go, think about it, 80 to 150 bucks worth of seeds is hardly worth the wages and man hours to send someone out to your place, process charges etc but if they can get you in for free they're set! I've pointed out that stealth shipping shouldn't be discussed online before, that was many many pages ago though. If you wanna find out just how they do it you'll just have to do as the rest of us and order some for yourself bro

Why not discuss the stealth packaging? They blatantly plaster it on there websites ! It's no big secret to anyone including the authorities. I never select stealth packaging, it's crap and just enhances the fact your hiding something if found. They use corrugated cardboard and put the seeds inside. Some stash in cd cases. There's all sorts of methods and are all a waste of time, the big killer for me is, I don't want some other dude fondling delicate seeds from an original breeders pack, if I get them in OG packaging, my chances of successful germination are better than some second hand seeds fondled and exposed to air for extended periods in transit. No need for stealth IMO.

Haze thanks heaps for the info, i really appreciate it should i only order a few each time? Coz i was thinkin of gettin 4 different strains (white widow, durban poison, acapulco gold, g13 haze) 3 seeds each with 4 free ufo seeds, is that fine or should i stick to 1 strain per order? Cheers

 

[benjamin alexander]

Hey i like to keep my orders to around 20-30 seeds at most, keep the cost under 200 and you should be fine, as long as that doesn't buy you many many beans lol

 

[jzs147]

yeah i keep mine small planetskunk good no postage so ya can make small orders and dnt have to worry bout postage

 

[JT91]

Oh ok so you think 16 seeds in the one order is maybe a bit much? Might just get white widow and g13 haze then

Love these forums, everyones so helpful

 

[smallclosetgrowr]

buy 100 seeds , customs still wont follow u up.they simply destroy the seeds and send u a letter. some seedbanks ive personally orderd from and are good- marijuana-seeds.nl , herbies auto . seedmaddness.amsterdam marijuana seeds.

 

[smallclosetgrowr]

just remember if your growing big allways use a fake name if u can and dont send the seeds to your home address.i only grow about 2-3 plants at a time so i just get mine deliverd to my house , if i get caught i think its a small fine or a warning in victoria.

 

[benjamin alexander]

Nah 16 is about perfect if you pay for postage, any less its not really worth it, more than 20 and i start getting edgy but saying that i got 32 when herbies decided to throw some extra free beans in lol

 

[jzs147]

ok few pics of my buds was a pretty shitty end result but hey i learned alot gave a few samples to my mates they said it ripped em so must be ok but im a bit dissapointed in quality and also quantity

for my next run i will be using a 600watt setup might also chuck the 400watt in when flowering i have a few widow clones and also a few widow seedings from a mate seeds from his harvest as he'a sn outdoor grower so i just grabbed a couple seeds from his buds and he aslo gave me some master kush x Ak47 that he bred himself, he wanted a more mould resistant strain for outdoors as he lost a lot of Ak47 due to mould. he also told me to gran some, The pure by flying ducthman said it was as good as White labels white widow which he thought was the best bud said the pure was a bargain for 10 seeds at $27AU delivered from planet skunk so i grabbed to to try The Pure is just Skunk #1.

anyway happy smoking guys

With attitude mate that's fine, just pay the $10 and get a t-shirt also ( it means it's trackable, if not arrive they resend ) personally, I wouldn't want my orders to exceed the $100 mark per order just in case otherwise in my experience it will make it in no worries.
