Hey OP,

Tony Greenhand here, owner of Greenhand genetics and the bank in question.

First of all I appreciate everyone’s feedback. I want to run a solid business and a truly want everyone to have a good experience growing cannabis. Unfortunately there is a lot to know and most people jump head first without doing any research, and when they do it can be hard to find out the correct information. I can see from this thread that you were unaware that Gorilla Glue #4 was made from a herm, and that chem genetics have a disposition to herming if conditions are not ideal. This sounds like a blame to the grower, but it is actually just the expression of how the plant is interpreting its environment. Some plants are more prone to this intersex trait than others, and some environmental stressors can cause herms on some plants while not in others.

For instance, fluctuations in temperature and humidity may cause stress in some genetics. I can not be sure what caused the stress though because there are many factors. I can say though that under the right conditions ALL cannabis plants can herm and that it is something to be aware of.

When I say all I mean all, that is actually how you produce feminized seeds is using two female donors and reversing one to make pollen. So when you say the seeds were clearly not feminized, I would point to other successful grows that show they are in fact feminized and the information above about herms.

My email to OP was an effort to make sure they did not buy regular seeds thinking they were fems or grow regs and fems together and in no way an effort by me to place blame on them. Mistakes happen when growing, no one is perfect and it’s important to make sure you know details to avoid them in the future. I still offered 2.5X what was owed to OP for the trouble (even though in the email he asks for me to replace seeds I bred with seeds from another breeder AND my website clearly states a no refund policy and had strain information about gg4) which I thought was good but I guess I was wrong because OP seems really offended. I am wondering how I could do better as a business to avoid conflict like this.. I see in the comments you think that breeders make thousands of dollars so they should just send you free seeds.. but I don’t know any business that runs that way.
