I got an email today from seedsman, again with a tracking number saying the package was in transit. Strangely the tracking number is 5-6 days old already though.
The tracking number was created.

Acceptance USPS
UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom
Then out for delivery.

Out for Delivery USPS
But it only spent a day in the US. The package departed the regional facility the 21st.
They're definitely having some issues shipping, 3 days from receiving the tracking number and the "expect delivery in 5 to 25 BUSINESS DAYS" notification I had the order I placed on 8-6-2020 in hand.
The package was "stealth" shipped via Royal mail and cleared customs over that weekend.
However...
They do some in-house breeding. The seedsman travel blog had a giveaway earlier in the year. They had a fellow in the Parvati Valley looking for landrace genetics to "create new hybrids and stabilizing some strains".
It may be awhile lol. The order from 8-6 just shipped yesterday but not from inside the U.S., they did provide a tracking number though. A separate order from 8-27 was also effected by the issue that delayed the 8-6 order.
Since August my seedsman orders have been taking longer than normal to get to me. But they come sooner or later. Customer service is kinda a joke with them usually about a week (with covid) to get a response from a ticket. But again the orders do come. I've had one order placed 8-6-2020 that...
I have an order I placed August 6th and just received the following email from seedsman. I'm in the New England area my seeds usually ship from Maine. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing the same delay but figured I'd share the information.

I took 6 clones off her today. I don't think it'll finish flowering but I'll be able to watch it and see if it herms or not and then make a decision on the lives of the clones lol
She's definitely been stretching, probably put on a good 3 feet of vertical growth and at least that in girth in the last 2-3 weeks. She bushed out more than I anticipated and more than the others did. 2 other plants on the property started flowering July 1st (way earlier than I thought) and 2...
I've grown outside off and on (mostly in Massachusetts) for a good deal of my life. I've yet to have a plant this far into August without some sort of flower.
Honestly I know nothing of this strain however. A friend claims his friend grows this a few towns over and it's a Jack Herer strain. It...
I'm also in New England, this year I noticed more of those "Japanese beetles" than the last year or so. The adults eat mostly at night (according to the info on the trap I bought). The leaves had the same appearance/damage though.
This happened to me this year. Both plants were from seeds I made last year. A cross of a Hindu Kush and a Jack Herer. I had one plant start to flower around July 1st and her sister almost 3 weeks later. Both of them well before the other plants on the property.
I assumed the difference was...
My first indoor "grow light" was 2 of these homemade boards (4-5 years ago). The flower grown from them is the other picture. I've no clue what "strain" it was as it was bagseed.
Just have fun and don't expect anything other than learning
Cannabis is a two-cycle crop (veg&bloom) and may require far more root exposure to nutrients(and oxygen) than root tips in a shallow oxygenized layer can provide. Kratky works better with one cycle leafy greens like lettuce and others. Or rather it didn't work out for me..
As others have stated...
