I've only ever ordered seeds from Herbies. Granted... I've only ordered seeds once, lol. I ordered a bunch of different strains, all feminized. I picked Herbies cause it was the easiest place, for me(after trying several other seedbanks and not being able to complete the transaction), to order seeds from. I think in the end I just linked an account and wired payment.
I know you are probably not interested in this part, but the seeds came with a shirt and I actually really really like the shirt. It's just a plain black shirt, but it feels good and wears nice. I didn't expect a shirt, lol.
Anyways, I am in the middle of, well my first grow ever, using Grandmommy Purple from them. We just entered into week 3 flower. It's been a long journey, as I popped 1 seed, then turned that into a mother and took 4 clones from her. So 4 plants, one seed. Looking back... probably should have just popped 4 seeds and saved like 10 weeks ahahahahah. But it was actually an awesome experience for me.
I have nothing else to compare this to as it's my first grow, but this plant bounced back from a lot of things. Very tough and resilient. Has some awesome traits, too. Like the double serrations on the leaves. I even spotted a triple serration, lol. But seriously I posted photos, one is the leaf with one spot of triple serration.
I also experienced a weird thing called "fasciation" with this plant. But it only occurred on one lower branch and after cloning I topped it and the fasciation did not continue or appear again.
Frosty closeups are from day 22 of flower(yesterday).
