    Default Seed packaging - some not so good!!

    Don't know how you lads feel but when I buy seeds I like them to come in a tamper proof pack, this includes free seeds.

    I have bought seeds direct from Humboldt and you have to literally break the wooden container with a pair of pliers, Barneys Farm, no one can get into their packs without scissors, even their free seeds are sealed.

    I recently ordered some quite expensive "Flavor Chaser" seeds from LSC and was quite surprised how cheap and amateurish their packaging was, easily opened and resealed. Not knocking LSC as they do a great job but most of the free seeds come lose as do Herbie's, I supose it is just how they get them. I am not pointing the finger or even suggesting anything sinister but they could be anything. I repeat I am not pointing the finger or even suggesting anything sinister

    One thing I will say about free seeds from LSC is they need to put the breeders name on the free seed description sticker. I received a Jack Herer free and would buy them as a consequence (the smoke was fantastic and yield decent) but I have no idea who the breeder was.

    I've always assumed that most free seeds were part of bulk purchases where they came with no packaging?

    I always thought they came to the seed banks as freebies direct from the breeder to promote a new strain (or they are seeds the seed bank can't sell). I know many of the tamper proof prepacked freebies have NOT FOR RESALE printed on them.

    Seedsman Jack Herer is an awesome smoke and a pretty good yield to boot

    I don't see as it matters whether they are sealed or not as long as they contain what they claim to be...I do agree on an accurate description including the breeder though otherwise it's just a lucky bag

    Would this be a bad time to ask if any one wants some Afghani regs?
