Anyone ever went thru them w/ success? They have 2 different starins that are out of stock elsewhere and I'd like to have so I'm thinking of using them, but am kinda skiddish of 'em cause of the fact that they do have those seeds when no one else does?!? Any body who has reliable info on their credibility, or lack there-of, please let me know.

*Edit*
Never posted a poll before so I selected the "make votes public" option thinking that was going to allow people to see the results w/o voting, not allow people to see how others voted so I don't blame anyone for not voting in the poll, but whatever.....now I know!~

For what it's worth, I have never used them, but almost did this last time. I did some research on these and other forums and mostly saw good reviews. I was satisfied enough to try them, and then didn't for other unrelated reasons.

alright man, thx for the input. I've not read any bad reports on em its just that when a bank has seeds that everyone else is out of it makes me wonder weather they're legit or not.......don't really no y, just paranoid I guess.

i have a few of my forum buddies on the look out for some martian mean green by dna.. so a few weeks or so ago, i get a pm at another forum from a friend telling me that they found a site that has the mmg... long story short, site was herbies pick and mix, aka herbies headshop.. ordered the mmg that day, only to get a pm from the owner telling me that the seeds were indeed no longer available and were placed as in stock by mistake.. at first, i had thought that maybe this was some EDIT BS, were everything on the site is in stock untill you go to order it, where it miraculously appears to be out of stock.. i contacted the owner via email, and he expressed his apoligies to me.. i rechecked the site, and it was indeed changed to out of stock now.. points for them for quickly fixing that part of thier mistake.. was told that they could either refund my money, or i could find something comparable in price to what i ordered.. i found something else.. i recieved my order a few days ago, maybe about two weeks or so after i placed order... the stealth was completly out of this world.. crazy cool stealth.. a friggin plus plus there.. i got two free beans in with my order...
overall, i guess i was pretty happy with my order, i just felt that maybe they could have thrown me a bone for my troubles and their mistake, and thought the two free beans fell a lil short, idk, but i'll probably order again if i find something there that i want..

Maybe I'm too late for this forum, but...I've ordered twice from Herbie's and received both orders within two weeks (I'm in SoCAl). Germ rate has been just OK (about 75% success, as I recall)...but 100% success on delivery of seeds...stealthy packaging. Hope this helps.

Yea I agree, coulda done ya a lil better considering the fuck up but at least you got something. Also, good to know about the stealth. Makes me feel more confident about everything getting thru. I've ordered from attitude and came w/in .02cents (literally) of getting the third UFO and they wouldn't go ahead and give it to me. I thought that was kinda shitty of em but what ever.

What breeder/co. was the gear from that you germed only 75% with? I've heard similar complaints about nearly every seed bank at one time or another "not good germ rate" or "OK germ rate but not great" but then realize it's not the bank it's the breeder (9 times out of 10 anyway)




+rep to all of you! thx for the input. It's what makes this a great site!!!!!

I just purchased $178.00 worth from Herbies seeds. I went through attitude at first, something happened, said card was denied but it wasnt and the charge was on our card, no money, no seeds after over 2 months, and they wont do anything. Ordered from Herbies, Bought 15 autos, got 11 beans FREE! For obvious reasons I wont say what stealth they used but it was pretty kool. I had 5 damaged seeds that the package must have gotten stepped on, just wrote them and they are sending new ones no questions asked. They have excellent prices, and I got my beans in a week and Im on the border of NY and PA. I would def use them again. Sorry if this sounds like a pitch but its my first seed order an Im excited..............HEY CALIKUSH! realy shouldnt be mentioning stealth techniques on public forums but thats just MO

I've bought from herbies once or twice without any problems. Once their stock system wasn't updating so they sent me a nice email apologising for that. I've tried lots of banks: pickandmixseeds, attitude, seaofseeds, demonseeds and so far this is the only one that puts a date on the seeds so you know how old they are which I think is great! Obviously most banks have quite a high turnover so this shouldn't be a problem but it's good for peace of mind I think.

Just wanted to post an update. I ordered seeds from herbies and 5 were damaged below is the response I got from them tonight, and so far any of the seeds they sent germinated for me...GO HERBIES, they are def my new seed connect

RESPONSE FROM HERBIES TODAY

May we firstly say how sorry we are for your loss – we fully understand what a difficult time you must be going through, and you have our complete sympathy.
Sorry, we didn’t mean to seem impatient, we were simply waiting for confirmation of exactly which seeds were damaged (your initial e-mail only stated that you’d received some damaged, but you didn’t specify which ones – I’m sure it’s been the last thing on your mind at the moment)
To confirm, we’ll dispatch your replacements tomorrow via International Airsure. Your tracking reference will be ............ log onto www.royalmail.com to check on the progress of your parcel. It usually takes around 5-8 business days until delivery, but please be aware that we are entering the Xmas period of increased volumes of mail, which can cause some delays on occasion. We’re also going to include a couple of additional auto fem freebies for you, which we hope will make great additions to your collection!

This is what I bought and what they gave me:
I bought 3 Big Devil Autos, 5 Lowryder #2, and 5 AK-47's. They Gave me 1 Royal Haze, 2 Delicious Critical Haze, 1 Caramelo, 3 delicious critical Jack herer, and 4 Big bud #1's, all are Fem seeds with the exception of the 3 Big Bud #1's Now they are replacing 3 Ak's and 2 lowryders and are sending more Freebies for the trouble

Just wondering, might be a stupid question but just for my clarity. If you think a breeder is bad not in their genetics but in their reliability of shipping but herbies sells their genetics, do you think it wise to order them through herbies? For instance if I want BC bud depot's sweet deep grapefruit, but their site is a rip off, if I order through herbie, am I going to get sweet deep grapefruit?

I used them recently. Took less than 7 days to East Coast, including a weekend and NY holiday! All seeds in original breeder pacs. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

Just wanted to say i found herbies great.

Put a fairly large order in there last week. They were out of the 10 pack i ordered so sent 3 x 4 pack instead no extra charge. Discreet packing was discreet. Would easily been mistakin for something else, delivery was really quick to ireland. And so far what i've attempted to germinate all have so i'm not worried there'll be any problem when its the turn of the rest.

Will use them again in the future.

Ordered twice, first time I was 78 cents short of the second set of freebies. I wrote them an email explaining and they said no prob and threw them in.
All orders received in less than ten days. Secure and good stealth.

I also order from herbies around a month ago and received my seeds within 7-8days . I accidentally put the wrong address but they gave good customer service on how to go about retrieving my mail . I would and am gonna order from them again, anyone wanting advice on ordering from them . In my opinion go for it I planted 4 seeds and 3 germinated within 24hrs . . .
