Nirvana Seeds Didn't Pop!

[dr2brains]

In December I ordered Bubblelicious during the Weekend Whopper and it came with 10 free mixed seeds for the Xmas Special.
When I received my order I had 10 reg. Bubblelicious and the free mixed seeds had 15 instead of 10! WhoHOO!
I decided to germinate 5 bubblelicious and 5 mixed, the 5 bubblelicious popped in two days (less than 48hrs) and sprouted from dirt in less than another two days!
The mixed seeds took a little longer and three popped! It's been seven days now and the other two seem to be duds!
Are the mixed seeds at Nirvana different than the seeds they have on their site or are they that shaky with strains where there product is hit or miss?

They probably just wanted to ditch some old seed...ergo why they were freebies

I'm probably better off growing bag seed than!
Has anyone grown any mix seeds from Nirvana? Any results?

I've been having a few issues with the nirvana weekend whooper beans of late and after the last support email I sent them (which the reply was basically tough), I will no longer be using them. During my time growing Nirvana's beans I have seen too much variation in the seeds of the same strain and now I'm looking for better genetics. I am now using sensi seeds.

I popped ALL 10 Nirvana Swiss Cheese in less than 18hrs. And was very impressed. Maybe I just got lucky!?!

Yeah my bubblelicious popped quick and they're doing GREAT! It's just those damn freebies.

PS I love their packaging! It's like little egg cartons just for those precious seeds!

I've been growing nirvana for a while now, whatever i pay for seems to germinate, bitching about stuff they gave you for free wont make your bubblelicious any worse, their seeds are inexpensive and you get what you pay for, any more and its called luck.

No one is bitching about free stuff. Shit, they sent 15 instead of 10 freebies so I got more than I expected anyway. The purpose of the thread is to find out from other growers how their experience with Nirvana freebies have gone. It helps indicate what kind of seed bank we are dealing with. What does the bubbleliclious have to do with the germinating problem I'm having with an other strain?
You sound like a Newt or Santourm Supporter! Lol, now what does that have to do with my freebies not germinating, I guess as much as your bubblelicious comment.

ive never gotten any weekend whopper deals or any mixed packs so i couldnt be of much help but i think the freebies could have been what people send to them as "new strains" to try and sell (but don't cuz they're their own seed bank/breeder) similar to the attitude.

[EDIT] all ive grown from them is ice and i love it! check out my grow in my sig

the freebies are exactly that "free", some are good some are bad. from what i have seen the freebies are either old runs that did not sell out (weather thats good or bad you be the judge). or breads that did not preform as they expected.

either way you can be reasonably certain that they will not be as pleasing as the seeds you paid for, but at the same time i would expect them to be better then most bag seeds. soooo if you got the cash to buy what want then i would say your wasting your time and space on them but if you got extra room and are curious i can see no down side to trying them out.

Thank you for your opinion on the matter, what you said makes sense. Especially after reading others bullshit.
