Wow man thanks for the kind words! It really make it worth all the effort I have put in to hear these types of reviews. Hopefully I keep keep it going for a long time. Good Vibes!

Rats, try it again.
Sorry for my confusion Doug but didnât you post the link below of Crop Kingâs White Widow Auto?
Doesnât look to me like Crop King did you wrong.
Swiping another breeders strain is BAU.
Just ask Steve Jobs.
I sure did post the link, I grew them and someone asked where I got them. I was very pleased with those WWâs. I also had some supposed auto seeds from them that were not autos. So yes, they have done me wrong. I used to buy from them once upon a time before I found out about some of their underhanded practices. Outright stealing from a breeder and reproducing their packaging is not ok with me so I wonât deal with them. That said itâs up to each individual where they buy. When I saw the warning on the breeder site it seemed worthy of sharing.

I agree with you on that one.
I have an auto grow using their seed underway, guess now Iâll have to do progress reports on that topic.
Most other growers were out of stock in these seeds and I paid premium prices too.
âOut of stockâ should be a four letter word imo.

Hey, hopefully it grows well for you. There is no arguing that they do sell decent products, itâs the other stuff they do that turned me away from them. What strains you growing?

I have grown the WW & Northern lights. Both turned out great, never tried the Trainwreck. Nice choices.

There is a difference between breeders acquiring actual cuttings and reversing them to create s1 seeds and then another company who source crap seeds from were ever they can, mass reproduce them so its even futher inbred hermie crap an then sell those. It may be a idea to go around the boards and look at independent reviews of certain companies before making out their scam artists. By the way crop king are crap as are growers choice seeds. Also make it know that even some of those respected breeders dont have the original parent plants to make some of the strains they sell. A good example of this is the many companies/breeders who sell super lemon haze, only ghs had the ssh clone mother and the lemon skunk clone to create the original super lemon haze, with this particular strain no male was ever even released orit used it was actually already quickly put out as a s1 of the original cross by ghs. But dont mean you cant get good plants from else were, just do your home work and look for lots of different reviews on something before buying. Be smart

When I started growing indoors I looked at ILGM, Crop King, MSNL, and WeedSeedsExpress.
For price, strain variety, customer service(unbeatable), and shipping destinations WSE are the best.

Apparently DinaFem isnât coming back and they were breeding for âmost of the major seed banksâ in Europe according to some second-hand, inside info I received. They may have even been supplying Crop King and Rocket Seeds. The Spanish banks emerged in the early 2000s after laws changed in the Netherlands making seed production there much more difficult.
If it is true they were breeding for many others, those raids had a much larger ripple effect on the seed industry than any of the people contracting with them are ever going to let on. I actually bought a few rando Dinafem packs after the raid (Industrial Plant for one is something I know of no one else holding), simply because they are probably gone now forever. (Edit: it is probably these brands (or their European spinoffs) listed on the DinaFem site affected Cannabis Seed Banks - DINAFEM UK)
DinaFem has some things that are good, and sells a lot of crap as well. I respected them for some of their early auto work and feminization stuff. Also one of the earlier banks to make pure CBD varieties available. But US breeders have far surpassed them at this point (and most European breeders, with some exceptions like Karma, Mephisto, and maybe Ace who are doing unique things).

I gotta say this was a very interesting read⊠and also say, DAMN! Iâm glad I havenât bought any seeds from anywhere in years!..Not that I havenât been tempted a time or two, just never pulled the trigger. Some of the seeds I had looked at where in the lists of âno-noâ companies, I see here.

I have 2 White Widow and 3 SourGrils from CK. My first 2 grows ever have been a lie?

LOL, I wouldnât go that far. I grew some White Widow and Northern Lights autos from CK seeds that were fantastic. Not all their stuff is garbage but some is. My problem is the outright deception. To reproduce Blimburn packaging and put whatever bag seed they have into the packages is something I cannot forgive and will prevent me from ever ordering from them again. So much time and effort is put into growing plants, you need to be able to trust your supplier otherwise you waste months of time, money and effort. Crop King just does not qualify as trustworthy and thatâs not just my opinion, it has been proven to be fact. They are a blight on the growing industry and donât deserve to be in business.

Itâs too bad most people get burned before they research what seed banks are scams.

CK was my first seed buy because it didnât have to cross a border to get to me. I thought that that was important at the time. I know that they changed hands in 2018-2019.

Beware the Cropking and their employees on here pushing the stuff. As we can now see also a few others in the game are doing the same thing. I could point fingers but the universe always has a way to unravel intriguing plots

I heard Rasta Jeff of Irie Genetics say on his podcast that these guys were doing the same thing to his seeds! I find it all really bizarre how theyâre still in operation. I guess they did try to change their name. Anyway, I also know that Rocket Seeds sponsors the podcast âGrow Bud Yourselfâ with Danny Danko. I would think he would have the wherewithal to know the history of this seedbank. They do a thing called âStrain of the Fort Nightâ and theyâre all sponsored by Rocket Seeds so I always scoff when I hear them suggest what to grow or smoke next. Bunch of scammers!

A few do this. I believe their was a grey beards seeds doing similar things. I can think of a bunch of fake runtz seeds from some pan handlers. Seen a new âseed companyâ today called Teddyâs seeds. Look like stolen IG images.
Seen a couple fake blimburn packs and what was grown from them was some real garbage. So buyer beware all day every day. 
Yes 100%. Mostly utter trash from Europe. Ever smoked critical bilobo? Or critical Kush or dozens of other critical mass xs. Or black ice: white widow X black domina. Not impressed.
Not like it was in 98-99. Mind I think thatâs when the mother plants used in Dutch breeding were lost due to legislative changes in Holland. Then it moved to Spain. Holland: WW X anyone? Spain: critical mass X anyone? Oh and get some USA seed packs or cuts to breed our critical widow with.
Sorry Iâm usually not a downer but this subject does make me a little sad. Esp. knowing some of the old crew who worked on GHSC in the 80s n 90s. Like silver pearl from Neville, great strain, grew it in 96. 
Thatâs after all the attempted arrest in Australia to extradite to the USA.
