That's probably great advice. I was about to give the choice/attitude another try...but without giving it more time to see what might have gone wrong, that would probably be my stupidity at this point. I'll try to stay positive about "my friend's" previous order and see what happens.
Can anyone vouch for greatlakesgenetics?
I ordered from Southern Oregon Seeds and mailed them a personal check.
Step One: create an account.
Step Two: Pick out your gear, add to cart.
Step Three: Place your order.
Step Four: You will be prompted to send a check to their VA address. Write check to Souther Oregon Seeds. Put your order number (they give you one after your checkout and email you your order number as well) on the "memo" line. I also attacked a post it with my order number.
*Alternatively you can mail cash or a money order. No CC
Step Five: Wait for your beans. Takes USPS a hot minute to get your mail/check to them. SOS used FedEx to get me my parcel. They sent freebies as well. I already germinated the three freebies. Just planted the five I ordered (all autoflowers).
This has been my first experience with a US seedbank. Hope this helps.
