Exactly why some basic research into what you are buying is needed. Find out the breeders home forum and see if you can find out when the next seed drops are coming or when the last one did.
So very true, S_a_H!!!! However commercial seed banks don't always have blog/forum to find out particulars or rotating stock.
Happened only once on Seedbay(before I learned about ICMAG...probably 5 yrs ago)...buying autos that did not perform/germ...nada. Probably round out the hand...4 other strains bought elsewhere were not viable.
Those are pretty low odds compared to strains that popped, making hybrids, etc.
GreeeeN will prosper, I'm sure!! Notating what was done (to give negative result) and changing it for more stable environment....it's all in the learning curve!
