I understand the legal part, its the won't resemble the description part in curious about, it doesn't say that in the other descriptions. But it does say that on the one that they are giving away with every order.
It's legalese because the UK says you can sell cannabis seeds, you can own cannabis seeds, but you can not germinate a cannabis seed.
And, seed banks that encourage illegal activity can get shut down, so we have to toe the line on the website.
On forums, we go rogue a little bit - me especially since I live in the states & work as a contractor rather than an employee.
I don't reckon anyone from the UK home office is coming to get me over something I can deny.
The bit about they won't look like the description is so that we can't be accused of encouraging people to buy because they think the bud in the picture is what they're going to get. Yes, there are a lot of stupid people out there and they could potentially claim fraud.
And, it also covers phenotype variation. Every seed has the potential to be exactly like some combination of the parents, but you can't guarantee it.
Otherwise, people would not end up with all those amazing cut-only strains like Gorilla Glue & Girl Scout Cookies. Even Cheese is a special Skunk pheno.
So, anything on the site that seems completely ignorant & ass-backwards is due to stuff like that. Just apply a little common sense & read between the lines. If it's still not clear, ask away - we'll answer just about anything.

Edit: It does say that on a lot of other descriptions, but we mix things up & we've been doing more about the legal aspects lately with warnings to not grow. We haven't used the "won't look like this because your dumbass is getting a seed & not bud" line in quite some time. It's probably on more of the stuff we put up about 18 months ago.
