Nirvana seed bank, why?? Options

[stillsmokin762]

can any1 tell me why "Nirvana" get such a slaggin off??? Ive only recently discovered how much you peeps on here hate them..Im currently on my 3rd grow and have used seeds frm this seedbank mainly becos they,re the only seed comp. that sell in my area unless i order online which is a no no atm..Good or Bad comments will be welcomed but dnt start givin me a hard time im still new to this game

A starter for 10

Take your pick

I just ordered 6 strains from them, and now have them in hand. Seeds all look good.. so far the germination looks good.. (we'll see better after today... half had sprouted yesterday) and I hear the pheno's are fairly mixed so you get the chance of possibly finding a good mother.
I dunno, I'm excited about it. I read enough good things to make me not afraid of the bad.

If interested, I ordered: Ice,Chrystal,Misty,B-52,K2 & Shiva

I've grown out Big Bud, Ice and Superskunk from Nirvana , had near 100% germination and my fair share of females. You do get different phenos in the mix, but for the money they cost well worth it.

I'd agree with Joe here.

I grew a lot of Nirvana stuff in my early growing days.....they were affordable and obtainable.
Yeah, quite a bit of variation in the phenotypes......but that's part of the trade off in the price.

In an ideal world and if I had the room, I would have kept at leat 4 or 5 of the Nirvana's I've grown out.
The bubbledelicious I had used to grow kaned seasoned pro's - probably the most narcotic stone I've experienced.

but never going to win anything.

But that doesnt concern 99.9% of folk

cheap as chips F2 hacks

They dont really hide the fact and usually their prices reflect this, but if you ask me they must be doing something right cos look how many folk are happy with them

I personally dont grow them, but a lot of folk have found something really nice...They arent interested where it was from or what its made from, never mind whether its an f1,2,3,4,5 or 6

Nobody can deny them success surely

Totally agree great germ rates good smokes just had trouble with 1 fem being male but people have had more problems with more expensive seeds including myself

[Danklord]

I've had good and bad seeds form nirvana. My K2 mother has been with me for several years and is still favourite over several more expensive seed banks (you'll love the K2 reverend, it's the bollocks).

The variation is extreme tho. My bubbleicious all hermied but 1. I ditched that anyway for fear of it turning later in life.

[stillsmokin762]

cheers for the comments peeps..i think il stick with them, and try out a few diff strains, at least until iv got a few more grows under my belt

Whenever there's a thread about Nirvana,you can guarantee that somebody will chip in with "F2 hacks yadda yadda" but Nirvana have quite a few of their own F1 hybrids in their catalogue - off the top of my head,Aurora Indica,Ice,Chrystal, KC 33 x Master Kush,Snow White,Nirvana Special are F1.

And edit to add,I've said it before and I'll say it again.....I've smoked Nirvana bud that not only shits on so called "better genetics" from more expensive seedbanks,but does so from a great hight.

i will second that yes you will get a few phenos in every pack i happen to like this as it means i can keep the one i like best also i have grown seeds from other breeders and paid £s more and basicly got shite and poor germ rates and poor weed
and one last thing some of the peeps who knock nirvana have never even grown them out remember there are a lot of sheep around these parts who will agree with certain peeps cos they think there right

[peewee]

no IMHO you can get much better genetics for much cheaper.

Could you recommend or pm me the seed bank your thinking of here peps1 pls

[peewee]

Cheers mate

Some of the highlights are:

Original Haze Seeds £12.99
Original Skunk #1 Seeds £20.99
White Widow Seeds £20.99
Malawi Gold £20.99
Mama Thai Seeds £20.99

Out of interest how many of those have you grown out?

I've grown maybe 15 of Nirvana's strains and i've been more than pleased with the results, their White Rhino is an absolute killer of a strain..

their White Rhino is an absolute killer of a strain..

one of my best buddies grows it, he bought the beans on his first grow, and 4 years later half his grow is still nirvanas white rhino, the other half of his grow is cheese and others
