Dutch Passion Duds

[Moppy]

I noticed Tony has suggested messaging him about problems with Dutch Passion seeds, but I am not allowed to message anyone as I haven't made enough posts. I Travelled to Amsterdam, bought 3 packs of DP seeds ( I think they were Super Lemon Haze, but it was while back ,so could be mistaken). Only 4 seeds popped out of 3 packs - we needed 12 plants and I had purchased 3 tins of seeds at a cost of 70 euros a tin. I seem to remember there were 7 seeds in a tin, but there were more than enough for us to get 12 out of it, had the seeds been any good. This was all probably about 5 years ago.

 

This little "scenario" has ensured I have avoided Dutch Passion ever since. It's a shame as they are old school, one of the originals, but once bitten twice shy, as they say.

 

 

As a note I should have not only bought more than enough of these seeds, but also bought several other strains from different breeders - hence diversifying my risk even more...here endeth the lesson, I tell myself.

How did you store your seeds?

 

5 years ago? I highly doubt DP would replace them. If you e mailed me and told me that story, I wouldn't send you some more. gratis.

Travelled to Amsterdam to buy seeds, they've probably been sat in the coffeeshop since 1992 when the last person that actually bought seeds from Amsterdam did. 

 

As was the way.....

You would be better off subbing to the site then you will get some seeds that will grow for you and a lot of help growing them if you need it

What is the point of this post? 

No relevance to 'new members' and no relevance to seed shop reputation.

I saw a display full of dinafem tins in a head shop very recently and got pretty excited until my inner plants person chimed up with "bro those tins are covered in dust inside a glass case , walk away, walk away"
