A How to from Mane**(How To order seeds the best way)***

The only probs I've had w/ fem seeds is : they stay smaller than their regular seed counterparts!
I've had fem big bud and reg big bud for reference of similar strain, but ALL the fem seeds i've got (several kush strains along w/ a fem lemon skunk this year) ended up smaller than the reg. seeds I planted at the same time.
I've not had the hermie prob that I've heard so many talk about on hear, but I'm sure there is a problem w/ some seed companies fems, cause I've seen to many "testimonials" on here about it.
Bottom line on fems (for me anyway); get fem for a "personal" plant or 3, and get reg for the true harvest!
Never heard anything particularly;y bad about Nirvana's fems to directly answer ur Q.

Well if you use reg then at least 50% will be males right.. so even if the fem are a bit smaller it's still better than using reg, right?

Well those two big buds could have been two totally different phenotypes.

it's not 50/50 when you are ordering from a seedbank. you may get all females, all males or a mix. If you don't have time for males, then get fem seeds. But know some great strains are in reg form only.

always wanna grow fems never tried regulars there more stable arent they

The bit about fem seeds growing smaller than non-fem seeds is not true, at least not in my experience and not universally.

I ordered from AMS, which the thread creator mentioned as being a good one. I didn't do much research into seed banks, all of that went into botany, grow room designs and materials. I also did a no-no and ordered BIG, around 500 US. After 21 days I began to worry but on the 23rd day they came. No stealth at all, just a smaller envelope that had bubblewrap on the interior, seeds where packaged per 10 and one 20 in small ziplock baggies labeled with what strain they were, those were inside a folded piece of thick white paper with bubblewrap stapled to that paper. One look inside by anyone and it was obvious. So for how much I paid I was disappointed with the stealth, but they go to me and each strain was accurate and female, at least half of them being I still have 5 of each left. The 20 free seeds I gave away, not worth my time. AMS also responded to all my emails within 12 hours, I had questions on number of packages being sent, time frame and strain questions, all answered well.

As for weaker and/or smaller plants from fem seeds, I can say it's not true in my case. I really can't compare to be honest, the three strains I bought;White Queen, Le Fruit Defendu and Waikiki, I have never had before therefore I had never had non-fem seeds in that strain. But I have grown before with non-fems and the size is similar in general. I've done regular white widow and my fem white queen which is a related strain was near identical in height and stem thickness, and buds of course. The Fruit grew very fast and strong, I was training that plant much earlier than planned in scrog. And the waikiki is a MONSTER. I grew out three of those and keep two as mothers and the three I grew in normal conditions were near impossible to contain and maintain properly in my grow area. Biggest strain I have ever grown. So I'm not sure where this info, myth to me, came from. The clones from all my fem mothers grow super fast and healthy, I have yet to lose one other than a cutting I left out of water too long.

Just my two cents. I will never grow any plant from seed without fem seeds, waste of time and waste of money in the long-run.

If you mean the seeds themselves are smaller than regular seeds this was only true for 2/3 strains I had. The Waikiki, which grew enormous, were the smallest seeds I've dealt with yet they turned into the biggest plants I've done. And most know seed size means nothing unless they are actually immature. So I have to assume you meant the plants and to that I gave my reply. PEACE

Your feminized grows might have produced smaller plants because most kushes are shorter lower yield plants. I know this was my experience with purple kush, although the potency was more than worth the lower yield.

I order my seeds from a reputable headshop in England and they arrive in a padded envelope and nothing tell tale except the postage is from abroad. Since the mail delivery person is the same day in and out and I am concerned about odd packages from "Over There" this is what I do. I found a mail forwarding service in England called pcme2. I am able to type a letter to myself, upload a document if I choose and they will mail it to me from over there. I can choose whatever return address I want, the size of envelope plain or fancy, even postcards. I google search UK for addresses of a hobby shop, chess club or military collectable shops. Ever so often I send off a letter or card to myself from the same area as my seed source. Now there isn't illumination rounds going off when my purchase comes in. I know, a bit cautious but my Dad was a letter carrier here in the U.S. and he could tell you if the plain wrapped magazine was Family Circle or something more tfor he secret library

Sup man.
I know those blue Walmart money cards work, and Greendot cards. The amex doesnt allow overseas now. They might still sell international prepaid cards, though I'm not sure.

I've been using the Greendot prepaid cards for a while now, and just started using the Walmart moneycard. Though greendot/wlmart money cards want yous SSN. They don't ask questions you just register the card on the web/phone and onto spending your money.

Though they do charge a International fee now based on the purchase amount(they didn't use to when I made the thread ). The Walmart moneycard does the same. Next time I'm at the Drug Store I'll be sure to check out whats still usable.


Be Easy

Thanks mane, Ive been reading on here so many different things that i dont know which way to turn.. Ill take your word for it though man...So you dont have to wait for the green dot to come in the mail like others are sayin on here.... people are saying you have to wait for the registered greendot to come in the mail to place an order with attitude....also, Do u know when u check out at tude which one you pick? debit or credit? Ive heard of people saying one but not the other will work... + rep for the quick comeback...Thanks mane...

You can use that temp card as soon as you register it. I use the debit option. Idk why people would say you have to wait for the card to come though :/. I register online and it's live for use as long as there is money on it.

No problem, happy strain hunting. What did you plan on getting?

Thanks mane,Was that with gd card? Im planning on going with northern lights #9 frrom sagarmatha... Its sounds good, ww+durban poison+northern lights#5....Low aroma and great yields...Cant find to many reviews, but the ones I did find were positive...

thats was for the greendot

so you don't think it's cool to use your own bank debit card/cc to order w/ anymore Mane?

You can I still do sometimes, but it's usually the prepaid card that I end up using. If the funds aren't on the prepaid card for some odd reason I'll go ahead and use my bank issued CC.

everything went good mane, I ended up picking up a nfinanse visa prepaid from the dollar store... odered my seeds from the tude without a problem... I ended up going with nirvanas chrystal... good price n excellent reviews....thaks again man...

Hello everyone, new to the site. Awesome work I might say. Simple question; about those places where you can rent a mailbox, like a fedex store or something like that, what's your thoughts on delivery there?

did you actually get the strains that you orderd???

Hey guys, well i placed my order from attitude on 09/12/2011 it shipped on 09/14/2011 and has been sitting at Heathrow , DC. since 09/14-15/2011. Getting a little weird because it been there for more than 5 days now. What do you guys suggest doing?

Be patient, those "updates" on the usps site are ALWAYS done late if at all! Just be patient and wait, they'll get to ya.
