Henry Weston Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Tony, After numerous times growing your strains I am left with no alternative but to share my experience of your company and the quality of the seeds you are selling. I entered a competition on here before xmas and won a pack of your euphoria, I had previously back in 2010 swore never to buy seeds from your company again. However I entered a guess in the 'guess the strain' competion on these forums before xmas and won. After the reading your convincing threads that DP were getting back on the right track I thought fuck it and germinated them. Now im more the fool for trusting text hype from you regarding the change at DP. I wasnt going to post this and thought to myself lesson learned, but I cant let fellow growers buy your seeds without seeing some feedback from us growers. Heres an update of the prize I won : Week 3 Flowering and 3 out of 3 of your seeds are full on lady boys with bollocks. First please read this post back in 2010 My link Here is the list of the strains ive grown from dutch passion Strawberry Cough(Femms)twice - 70% of plants hermie with lots of nanas from week 5 Euphoria(Femms) twice - 50% of plants hermies with male flowers Orange Bud (Femms) Lots of nanas on 50% of all the plants Brainstorm (Femms) Lots of nanas on 50% of the plants Mazar (Regs) - 70% of plants hermies with male flowers mazar ( Femms) - 30% of plants hermies with nanas Outdoor : Fresian Dew - All plants 100% ( great for growing at higher latitudes ) Passion 1 - All plants 100% ( But wouldnt recomend at higher latitudes) Now before you try and chuck some blame back this way about enviroment etc, heres a list of other femm seeds grown over the last 5 years without any problems and sometimes half the price of yours. Sweet Seeds: Cream caramel Black Jack Green Poison female Seeds NL : Pure AK ICE Bubblegummer White Widow Paradise Seeds: Sensi Star Jacky White The above list I have never had a hermie EVER, I think it says something about what your company are selling and im sure there will be lots of growers on here who have been let down and ripped off by your bosses.

mightymiggz Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I did there PP few years ago. Only the odd herm. NFT I averaged 4.2 oz a plant. Only compliant was that they went a lot longer than they said on the tin. 13 weeks. I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2hi2try Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm sure they pulled their socks up, that's why Tony's been on giving away free seeds so we can see for ourselves sort of thing. There's quite a few members who got them, myself included. I'll be giving an accurate description of my findings, I said this before I've got respect for someone to come along and admit they've had a problem, give away beans so we can see ourselves and have a help desk on here. Watch this space. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for posting this P n C, I gave up on DP a couple of years ago after all 5 Blueberry I bought hermied to fuck. Like you I couldn't put it down to environment etc., at that time it was the only fem strain I'd ever grown which hermied. However I was impressed with Tony's honesty on here and have considered trying Blueberry again, at least from regular seeds. Then again if they are producing so many hermying strains that's an awful lot of dissatisfied customers and an awful lot of money DP have made selling duff product. This is just too much, they need to drastically change their feminizing methods or their feminizing lab, or stop selling fems altogether. I will be avoiding their regs too in protest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Penny. Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Dutch Passion blueberry,but this was grown a LONG time ago when they first brought out feminised and Weed World did an article on the fems,this packet f*cked up my year and I never touched DP seeds for a while until I began growing frisian dew,bomb-proof strain,I have grown a good number,now and again one throws out a nana and you get a tiny number of seeds on a plant but the strains maturation and yield more than make up for that small inconvenience 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I wasnt going to post this and thought to myself lesson learned, but I cant let fellow growers buy your seeds without seeing some feedback from us growers. I'm glad you posted mate because thats what our forum is all about. Its no good hiding things because others want to read and maybe learn from yours and others experiences. This goes for any subject or topic and just because they are a sponsor makes no difference Our sponsors either rise or fall on the quality of their goods when they come on here but lets hope that your problem isnt going to be a trend that we have seen once before Owd Edited March 15, 2012 by Owderb 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchPassionTony Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Carrots, sorry to hear about this. If this was in any way representative of the normal customer experience we clearly would not have a seed business. I confess I don't understand what you report - Orange Bud, Euforia, Mazar have been around years and are best sellers which have stood the test of time. They still sell in huge numbers with regular good reports from numerous customers. Nor do I understand how you can find regular seeds of the same variety (Mazar) have a greater tendency to hermie than feminized seeds. That is weird. However, we are an honourable company and when we get complaints we try to make things right, and that is what we would like to do here. You mention you still have confidence in Frisian Dew and Passion #1 so perhaps that is an area where we can talk about trying to compensate you. I normally like to make individual compensations discussions via private mail, I will PM you, does that sound like a reasonable way to move forward ? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Weston Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Tony, The reason I have tried your strains more than once is that I have found some really good tasty bud, I love your Mazar and really like your Fresian Dew, but im afraid that the stability of your strains is poor.

LooseLips Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I won a 5 pack Surprise mix. 2 didnt grow. 2 were outright males and only 1 female, they were supposed to be fems! Glad I didnt buy them!! Aren't DutchPassion selling lights instead of seeds these days anyway 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBlueRizla Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I completed a Skunk #1 and Power Plant grow recently, both from regular seeds. I had no hermies and found the end result to be very good, I kept two of the Skunk #1 as I could not decide which I prefered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBlueRizla Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I take it everyone is buying their Dutch Passion seeds from trusted sources? Perhaps seed companies should start numbering packs of seeds so people could complain about 'bad packs' and you could see if there is a link between the 'bad packs' and the batch of seeds it was made from, or if it is where you sold the seeds onto (another retailer).
