After buying my last batch of seeds from the Attitude Seed Bank, i've decided that i will no longer buy from them again.
Now, i know that they can't be held responsible for the breeders' seeds that they sell on behalf of but the failure rate of the seeds i've had is just ridiculous.
Its been over 18 months since i purchased the seeds and they were stored in a box which was kept in a cool, dark, dry place.
I purchased a pack of 5 Barney's Farm Blue Cheese & 1 Barney's Farm Pineapple Chunk.
With those i received 2 free seeds which were 1 CH9 Afghan Cheese and 1 Reserva Privada Confidential Cheese.
Out of those seeds that i planted Before i disappeared of the site just over a year or so ago, only 2 (now that memory serves me correctly) had successfully popped.
4 of the Blue Cheese didn't pop at all and just grew a green'ish like mold over the seed casing, 1 popped but broke its own stem trying to push the seed casing out of the surface of the root riot cube.
The Pineapple Chunk popped but then keeled over without any obvious reasons why. It was planted at the same time as i popped some other, unknown/unbranded seeds for my brother that ALL 6 of were fine but this Pineapple Chunk just died.
More recently, the two seeds that i planted, the Afghan Confidential cheese, were dropped right into soil.
After about 6 days, the Afghan had popped and was just coming through the soil.
As for the Confidential, nothing.
It did the same as most of the Blue Cheese seeds did which was to turn into a green mold.
Its pretty disappointing the way things have turned out.
Even though the CH9 Afghan popped and is a vibrant seedling, i can't help but feel vexed that after carefully choosing the seeds i thought would be great, in the end the only one to survive was one i didn't choose.
I suppose all i can do is put it down to experience.
