Check out all the names these shysters use in the post by LemonadeJoe , I have gotten all sorts of those pins when I bought stuff from them years ago. Trinkets and trash, gotta give big ups to marketing.

In all honestyâŠunfortunately I have tried some of there strains.
After trying quite a few of them I feel I can post my opinions.
Hashplant feminized - It was okay, decent growing plant. Not strong as fuck, although some people said it was killer that I gave it to, I didnât think it was as potent as other strains I could attain so I discontinued it.
Gelato feminized - Hermies⊠enough said. Waste of time.
Blueberry regular - Took me 15 seeds or so to get 2 females that would actually grow as a plant.
Skunk regular - Got 1 female that grew decent colasâŠhard to clone (not a fast rooter)âŠthe smoke wasnât very potent at allâŠnot great of a taste. Had some nice red colouring to it in flower though. Still have a clone but thinking of discontinuingâŠIâd rather make room for something better.
Afghani - 1 female out of 5âŠgrew decent sized budsâŠdidnât knock me on my ass⊠taste wasnât great⊠I discontinued that plant as wellâŠ
White widow - All 5 were males.
I also tried White widow feminized from âSonomaââŠthey all failed terribly.
I tried another strain from sonoma as well but canât remember what it was nowâŠ
I believe Sonoma seeds is affiliated or basically the same company as CKS.
There are others I tried, just canât remember them allâŠnot worth the time to grow at all in my opinion.
Only reason I tried these is cause my local hydroponics store has them in stock an they were kinda last minute purchase an for shits an giggles to see what happens. Everything people say negative is true in my opinion about CKS.
I will never try any again. You only live so long, donât waste your time on these is my personal opinion.
So many other selections to choose from that will have better results!
I donât like giving negative reviews at allâŠbut in this case I have no choice otherwise I would be a liar.
I will say again I only got them cause they were obtainable in store locally.
Edit: The money I wasted on these, I could have spent somewhere else and have obtained several keepers!

Rocket seeds chatster says its propaganda and they are contracted to sell Blimburn seeds. I sent Blimburns website addy for the warning, Maybe Blimburn didnât read his contract? Or Rocket is brazen and completely above theâ minor breeder details â who knows. Iâll avoid all parties involved.

Weird situation. As far as Iâm aware, blimburn has a fairly good reputation, and rocket/CKS already have shitty ones. Hope we can get the truth out of someone.
yep the legal system, the native system and the fully integrated internet black market here, leaves very little trust and honesty in the Canadian Cannabis Seed market. I have only ever bought from breeders or seedbanks who were around before legalization.

Of course they say they are contracted, I highly doubt you will find any scammer just saying âyeah, we are ripping them offâ. I created this thread 7 months ago and the warning is still up. It also says they are using Blimburn packaging with non-genuine seeds inside. This is not a simple contract issue when talking about selling the non Blimburn seeds in Blimburn packaging. Blimburn has been around for 19 years and has a good reputation. Check out all the names they are hiding behind and the info from LeomadeJoe about their coming to this site with multiple sock accounts.
You can believe what you want and deal with or donât deal with whoever you choose but personally I have no reason to not trust Blimburn. I have never heard a bad word about them. Certainly cannot say the same about Rocket Seeds.

donât worry @DougDawson I share your opinion of Crop King, since I saw their product swamp previously âcleanâ hydroponic stores here a few years agoâŠsaw the raw marketing pressure their wholesaler put on their retail partners. Since looming legalization approached, some of the european seed makers/breeders/ distributors partnered up with legal producers (LPâs) in order to access the upcoming legal rec. market. DNA genetics for exampleâŠsigned on with Tweed and immediately ceased selling their seeds directly to Canadian consumers, and all the cdn seedbanks had just remaining stock. So if you want legit DNA genetics here, only authorized canadian distributor is Tweed 4 fems at a time. If Blimburn wants to spar with a huge illegal Canadian distributor (and 2 guesses where the paper trail ends up) despite the fact he is not legally allowed to sell here, well I can see why he is pissed and more importantly do ya think Crop (derp) King really gives a shit. They are pretty much untouchable because of who is at the top of the distribution network here. Pretty much boils down to politics. In the end the honest overseas seedbreeder and the Canadian growing public suffer, but hey we were roadkill in the new legalization regime anyhow. Fucking sucks how beneath cartel behaviour Trudope Tweed and the rest are behaving.

I Love Growing Marijuana and rocket seeds are a couple more white label companyâs stealing genetics from real breeders. if no one brought them up yet. I was naĂŻve enough to buy from ilgm a couple years ago and got orange bud, super lemon haze and og kush fem 5 packs grew all of them and only one super lemon and only one orange bud was ok i guess, no terps just a boring high but ok looking plants. all og kushâs were mutant herming nightmares. it was such a waste of time but a lesson learned fuck all those companys sourcing fake genetics! I then found out about true breeders and trusted seed banks that understand the importance of true genetics. just thought id let that out !

Not surprised; regardless of where theyâve been operating from, it was obvious they were a white label seed company.
I wouldnât care if they made it clear that they were selling bulk seed and their prices were low, but these companies always prey on newer growers who donât know where else to get seed with high prices and flashy packaging/marketing materials.

Edited, question solved.
Sorry to hear about that, Iâm in California and had a local hydro store (now closed) that was going to start carrying rocket seeds (they even gave me a catalog, lol).
I was able to convince one of their long-time employees that it wasnât worth doing, they had a word with their boss, and it ended up not happening thankfully.
Their catalog has a bunch of nonsense that makes it obvious something is wrong, like listing the same strain under two different brands with different flowering times, potency, and descriptions listed.

Can you elaborate on the Coastal Mary and ILGM link please?
I donât think ILGM is the same company; theyâre just also a white label European seed company. I even grew their stuff years ago (gave away the last of the seed I had from them on here, even) when I didnât know any better, itâs not inherently junk but itâs not worth what theyâll charge you for it.

Agree, ILGM is the same to like Nirvana Seeds in my mind. Iâd trust them if you want something mainstream Dutch but I donât know about the new age stuff they sell. Theyâre Banana Kush ainât bad, MK Ultra is good, but thatâs the kinda strains Iâd buy at ILGM, not stuff like cookies crosses or newer age stuff
