Horror story: My experience with “The Strainbank,”
I am compelled to share the story of my experience with this scam artist to try and prevent anyone else from having to go through this. This organization is reprehensible.
I put in a very large order of clones, as I have a California legal medicinal grow corp. I ordered 320 clones of various strains from these people to be picked up in 2 weeks. Here’s where the fun starts.
The delivery person told us to meet him in a parking lot (okay?). An hour later than the scheduled meeting time, he finally shows up. At that point he chose to tell me that he was 20 short on the original Sour Diesel I ordered. Alright….I thought, I guess it can’t be helped at this point. It would have been nice to know that ahead of time. I pay this person, and he insists that we owe him $100 more than had been originally calculated due to the shortage. Being the overly trusting individual I am, I gave him the extra $100. I did the math again in my head on the way home, and realized that I did indeed over pay him by $100. I texted him this, and he said that I was correct and would “take care of it on the next order.” Just wait, it gets a lot better.
I had 28 males. Yes, 28 males. 10% of my crop was male. Not hermies, MALES. I informed him every time I found a male, to which he replied he was shocked and that he doesn’t have males. Well, fella….you certainly do and I have the pictures to prove it. He said he would “replace them on the next order.” I politely explained that I did not want any more clones from him, seeing as how his quality control is extraordinarily poor and his males likely have seeded my entire crop. I asked for my money back. It was at this point that he just stopped returning any texts at all. Not only is he not compensating me for the males at this point, he isn’t returning my extra $100.
There’s more.
8 of the 20 Sour Ds I got were autoflower. I didn’t ask for autoflower, I didn’t want autoflower, and he never told me they were autoflower.
I feel somewhat foolish at this point for not digging deeper into the reputation of these people before ordering, as all the Google reviews (which I’m now guessing are fabricated) were all very positive.
Please DO NOT order from this guy. He will cost you thousands of dollars.
