Hi Everyone,

These are coming for either freebies or 420 auction, wherever they are most useful. The seeds are a cross of a Nirvana Bubblicious male to a Nirvana California Orange Bud female. I think I sent in about 100 seeds. I do not know what to expect as I have never made a cross from two different strains.


The Bubblicious is very true to it's name. It has a powdery, musty sweet baseball card bubblegum flavor in vaporiser. The dry bud in a jar has a coffee skunky aroma, but when you break a bud it smells like sweet bubblegum with herbs. It has a euphoric buzz that is very happy. It is sativa like, grows easily in soil, stretches in bloom, and is a moderate producer.



The California Orange Bud again is true to its name. It has a really nice sweet orange rind aroma and taste. It coats the tongue with an orange flavor when you have it through a vaporizer. The buzz is nicely balanced and strong. It is a very indica strain, stays short, easy to grow, and produces well. The buds of both of the parents look like pure hash.


Now I am praying that they arrive safely and intact so you may enjoy some of these flavors.

OK, here is the Bubblicious male.




It is very easy to make seeds. Everyone should try it.

Good looking male, I bet its gonna make some good seeds. I havnt tryed any of nirvans strains yet but damn i might just pick up a few since there so cheap, that bubblegum looks good i got Reefermans Bazooka Joe based off the HTCC winning cut and i cant wait to see if mine come out looking like that, last round i almost tossed the Bjoe mom, had it in dark for 2weeks then put it into the flowering room so it didnt do to well so i made mostly hash out of it. The full melt was good actually of it.

And ya bro its so easy to make your own crosses. I got 2 new grow tents just for breeding, I got a 25site DWC in each tent and im gonna put 1-2 of each strain i have in there and 1 male and mass pollinate using my 125w florecent bulb. and a 400mh in the other since i know the female and male im using are good and tested.

Ya, it's cool to make seeds. That male was already dropping pollen. You can see it on the lower left leaf. In the past I have only made the Bubblicous F2& White Widow F2. They both made nice plants from the seeds. This is the first time I have crossed two different strains, so I am anxious to see the results.

I like to pollinate a few flowers here and there on a plant, and then mark them with a twist tie and wait.

I also have some LA Conf. that I am making seeds with. LA Conf. x LA Conf.
My friend is going to test some pollen I saved from a male and see if it works on his Diesel after being stored in the freezer.

All Seedbay Buyers Please take note

All Seedbay Buyers Please take note

Open letter to our customers.

Dear All,

As many of you have found out in the past one of the problems Seedbay faces is members who bid on auctions while having no intention of paying for these items. We have in the past done our best to limit this but recently we have noticed that there are a glut of people who are not honouring their bids and following the site rules ( clearly stated in the help section for those who are unaware ).

Seedbay requires that all customers pay within 14 days for several reasons. Firstly, many items are sold by private breeders and so it is our job to ensure that those people are able to be paid their dues. Secondly, it takes both the breeders and the staff at SB a lot of manpower to list up the number of auctions and buy now items that we offer. Every time someone fails to pay they not only deny the seller their dues they also waste valuable manhours and deny the genuine site users the chance to get the seeds both reliably and at a good price. With that in mind we are about to instigate the following changes. . . . . .

Over the next few days we will be banning all accounts which are not being run in line with the current site rules and so wipe the slate clean so to speak. This blanket banning will affect all non compliant accounts. Those of you who have not received a specific mail asking you not to reregister are allowed to reregister a single account which you may use if you intend to pay for your auctions. If you fail to pay with the fresh account your account will be blocked immediately and you will be asked not to use the site again. This will not be negotiable and will apply to all customers, regardless of previous history.

We appreciate that this may seem a draconian measure but we at seedbay feel it is important to ensure that abusers of the system are not allowed to gain the upper hand over 'good' customers and are also not allowed to deny or delay those good customers from getting their seeds.

To assist in understanding where your account stands i will list the most common types of account status and how that relates to the changes we will impliment.

1) My account has 0,1 or 2 unpaid auctions.

Congratulations, the change will not affect you and Seedbay thanks you for maintaining your account within the bounds of the site rules. This type of account is the account type we are looking to protect and we hope that the changes prove positive for you.

2) I have 30 paid auctions and 50 unpaid.

We thank you for your business but as you account is outside the payment terms it will be banned. You are welcome to recreate a single account and begin afresh but if your account once again goes into 3 unpaids you will be asked to stop bidding.

3) I have never paid for an auction but have won several.

Unless you are still within the 14 days payment window your account will be blocked and we ask that you refrain from bidding.

4) My auctions are in 'dispute' at the moment and i am talking to support.

If you are talking to support your account will still be blocked temporarily but if it is the case that your account is valid then the block will be lifted as soon as your issue is resolved and we will not log the fact it was blocked. Support does however reserve the right to not reactivate your account if it is proven that your account is not being run as per the site rules.

5) I have multiple accounts all with different status'.

We ask people not to use multiple accounts but there are users who do. If support find that you are using multiple accounts we may well delete all accounts. We have faced this several times and strongly ask people to stick to using a single account.

We hope that you will all be able to see what we are trying to achieve by implimenting this procedure and will eventually be able to benefit from it. If you feel that your account has been banned unfairly you are welcome to contact support but please remember that if you are outside the site rules then your account will not be reactivated. Support hear peoples issues daily and are very good at sorting the genuine issues from those who are simply not following the rules. Please do not mail them saying you are not paying as you are waiting for more seeds to be won etc, the rules will be strictly enforced to ensure that the site can be improved and run in a more fair and appealing manner.

Finally, to those of you who have managed your accounts properly we offer you our sincere thanks. Most of you do a sterling job of maintaining your accounts and the seedbay team get great pleasure from servicing your orders, some of you have even become almost friends which is great! To you guys, we take off our hats, may it continue to be our pleasure to serve you!!!!!!!

the next batch of Auctions will be ready soon but due to a delay caused by non payers (see above)
it will be delayed for 24 hrs till I sort out the Accounts and ban some Ass Hats that think its fun to bid on 10 or more auctions and don't pay
there are a lot of Auctions that will be renewed also due to this inc a lot of nice stuff I know some decent members bid on and lost out
so keep your eyes peeled and I'll post when they are released

thanks for bearing with us while we sort this out

asshats

these asshats are why most of the regular buyers cant pick up anything at a reasonably price. I can get a lot of these seeds cheaper from the vendors :fsu:

I had a feeling that a lot of those auctions that were going for several hundreds of dollars were people just trying to throw a wrench in the gears of seed bey. I have payed every auction that I have ever won, and the two that I just won had the payment sent out today. I wish people had a better sense of loyalty or at least common decency. This really pisses me off, I wonder how many other auctions I would have won if these jerks would have only bid on things they intended on paying for.

I applaud you Oldpink. I know you are doing this from a mostly business perspective but keeping fakers out or at least reducing their impact will be beneficial to the community.

Pay your tab bitches!

Nice to see you guys finally take action against this type of behavior. In the past I bid on 2 auctions of the same thing to be sure I won one, I won both and since I did win on both I paid for both, it was only fair. I have had nothing but stellar service from both the bay and boutique, well over 50 orders now in last few years, and ALL of them have made it, once i was sent the wrong item, told to keep it then sent the correct one.
What more can you ask for? Well they have PAY FOR WHAT YOU BID ON :)

well thast is an option but not really workable as some Sbay buyers are not members here
and a nightmare to link the member info from one site to another as Boutique has simmilar problems with sent in orders
linking all 3 would be a logistical nightmare
