Horrible Review!

I just thought I would let everyone know before they buy from NIRVANA-SHOP seed bank that I have ordered from them twice and will never again. The first time I ordered 2 bags of seeds and got one the second time I ordered 1 bag and didn't get any. they have no reasonable means of communication (E-mail) Dont buy from them and does anyone know a reliable bank?

once you find seeds, learn to take cuttings so you can reproduce females forever

my strain is many years old

Couldnt u also just let it go to seed one generation and then save the seeds for the next few generations? Or would that cause too much inbreeding and a weakening of the strain?


Just something i've been wondering.

yeah I didn't want to post the link for respect for yahooka but a moderator asks for it and I'll give it. the link is http://Nirvana-shop.com I spent like 50 bucks on some snow white and recieved nothing. I am working towards the whole reproduction part but i am still pretty ripe at this whole growing thing. I just thought you guys might appreciate being directed away from rip offs and wastes of time.

female plants don't go to seed without the assistance of a male

bit like girls cant make babies without getting a big old boxful of dicksnot


Always appreciate a heads-up about dodgy cannabis people besmirching the good name of pot smokers with unethical behaviour.

lost two cuttings of the last 50 or so I've taken, it is as simple as

FAQ has good info on cuttings

sterile knife, diagonal cut, three nodes at least, dip into cutting compound/rooting hormone, into rockwool cubes, under a dome with 24 hour light for a week or so, Bob's your uncle

Just something i've been wondering.
Some ppl do, basically if you come across an F2 that is what you are getting. 2nd generation. It works best if you select a few males, and a few females for specific traits....yield, colour, smell, height etc. Some of those traits should be found in the resulting seeds.
One of the problems is the yield of bud is much less because the fem focuses on seed development, and pollen is pretty good at hanging around so other plants that you dont want fertilised can get knocked up. Also seeds don't really cost that much, so why go to the trouble? It does keep you out of the seedbanks pocket tho. But GH's point is that we all want fems, and seeds will be 50% male, so you waste grow space, time, effort, resources etc.

you can always self a female. So technically no male is even needed.


If you're in the U.S., which I assume you are, ordering overseas is a risk. There is a chance your order will be seized. Don't be suprised if a few months down the road you get a package from U.S. Customs.

Yeah they can sieze your package but cant legally do a damn thing about something sent to you. So screw customs. What are they going to do mail me a letter saying we got your pot seeds they grew well. you shouldn't have these, bad boy. slap me on my hand and walk away. Dont scare people from buying seeds online. this whole thread was just to let people know not to buy from Nirvana-shop.com if they dont want to be ripped. Whatever. Anyways thanx so much to you guys who left some helpful feedback. I appreciate it.
