i've been using dr. g's stuff/gens. for over 10 yrs. i've gotten every order, (regular mail, and express shipping.) every bean popped. very good customer service. when i call the doc, that's who answers the phone, almost always. i got my very first grow beans from doc. i've grown out his niagra/grenadine/endless sky. my neighbor is growing out his millennium bud, and it's just fine. i will say that i wish he offered a lot more of his strains in non-femmed version, and he is a bit pricey. but his genetics are solid. very uniform growth/traits, even among the different phenos. he's a "very," experienced breeder. i hate seeing threads like this, when i "know," that the info. is incorrect. is it possible to get a bad bean every now and then, for sure. no bean monger is gonna have a 100% satisfied customer base. there's always gonna be customers that hate on you, even if it's the growers fault. they'll blame it on the beans instead of their own mistakes. i've never had to, but i bet if you got a bad batch of seeds, the doc would replace them, if you came at him decently, and weren't lying. just wanted to weigh in on this subject, and give you all my experiences with doc's gear, etc. and, i'm no one's shill. if i had probs. with him, i'd say that too...
