These folks are nice and knowledgeable. I personally was in management at Advanced Nutrients in the…read morepast, and am glad to have a AN dealer in town.
I was stoked they had seeds, as a breeder myself, they have a decent selection with some hitters (Twenty20 Mendo), and other less commercially available packs.
I would say to the previous bad review, that just because you plant some beans doesn't mean you are replicating the natural conditions. If not, you may not get them all to sprout. Just saying, each cultivar has requirements, Sativa's can be very stringy, and can require more heat and different soil conditions if they are heritage lines( say Jack Herer ), and just because things worked in the past doesn't mean you have the same water, time of moon cycle, proper day / night temps and proper soil hydration. So many factors, and you got 1 to sprout. Why complain at the store, sounds like you maybe should buy a different pack that may work better and understand your abilities are not the same as nature, so regardless of how incredible you are, nature happens. Old seeds, I pop seeds 10-15 years later, especially sealed packs. They aren't bad after a year, 3 months unless they are really being mishandled.
And I too bought seeds, and 100% germinated, because I do follow strict guidelines and KNOW what I am choosing to grow and how to grow it. Not all plants are the same, they in fact are all very different.
Last note, old stored seeds for no longer available lines are highly sought after and can go for 10-20x the original pack price, some cost $1500 for 10 seeds that may not sprout. Good genetics cost money and are hard to come by. Some packs being 20-30 years old at ridiculous prices. Just keep that in mind when buying a few seeds, you may only get 1 healthy plant, so buy more and plant a few extra. If you get too many great plants, pass one to a friend.
