Howdy fellow Aussies

[Madfish]

Hi all,

I'm excited to join this community and become an active member, have read a few threads and enjoyed every ones witty sense of humour and great growing advise. I am only a novice grower with 2 seasons under my belt, nothing running atm. Was hoping to get pointed in the direction of a aussie bean supplier. I have looked at madcanna, caveman and cg australia not really sold with their payment methods, call me paranoid if you will. Ive gone to the trouble of finding a "safe address and name" for delivery but what's everyone's thoughts on bank transfer and crypto payments?

 

[Old fox]

Always some risk buying seeds. But never heard of anyone getting busted via a bank transfer or crypto purchase. It's usually the bean package itself that can draw unwanted attention, so with a safe address the risk is extremely low.

Welcome mate.
Try overseas seed banks. Much bigger selection!!

 

[Pikey]

Never had any trouble using crypto with multiple seedbanks and if payment is by bank deposit then I prefer to deposit cash at the atm (only some banks do this) and if not, then at the branch

Welcome to the forum mad fish, was reading some negative posts from a very unhappy customer on Reddit the other night. Think caveman may have dropped the ball in saying that always two sides to the story.

I have used caveman in the past no problems but yeah seems to be issues getting what you paid for at the moment and shit house selection too.

Attitude seeds seems to be the goto for safe and good quality beans they are os tho.

They seem to have masses of happy customers and a huge selection.

Welcome to TSE Madfish.

Cheers guys, OS would be my first choice (especially Attitude), but being in QLD I'm guessing nothing gets through ABF anymore? Thanks Old Fox, reassuring words payment wise. Will probably pull the trigger and put in an order in with Caveman, does he usually send the beans in breeders pack Gazza?

 

[evilsurfer]

I've never had breeders packs with Caveman. Yantra, Aussie Baked Beans, and The Seed Factory used to do breeders packs, but all of them are closed down.

As above, if you're ok with it, use Attitude seeds. If you have nothing going, you really don't have anything to worry about. Can't comment about Qld though as i'm not there.

Nah mate, no breeders packs from caveman.

if you buy connoisseur genetics thru caveman they come in
breeders packs exact same as the ones straight from the UK

Okay thanks, looks like he has some in stock

 

[Madfish]

Anyone in QLD here that has ordered from Attitude this year? I just see that some people on other forums don't get a good strike rate ordering from OS in this shitty state. Bloody gestapo up here!

3 days after getting ure money Growers Choice delivered in QLD
Probs cause they on Goldie
$15 a bean if u buy 5 though
No idea if they good genetics but all the seeds i've seen have 100% germed
I think they do bank transfers, coin or cash

P.S no breeders packs just plastic baggies with markings by a very expensive biro

Welcome aboard mate. What style of growing you going with?

 

[Madfish]

Thanks Aye, great to be here. Leaning towards soil under Led. I had success with dr greenthumbs turbo dirt last grow after a big failure in coco. I would love to master coco but I know how hard it can be. Broke my heart when I saw what happened with your current grow recently... great recovery though man!

Yeah I hope it comes back.

I like the idea of soil but my first grow had so many rookie mistakes.

I’m thinking of next run either going back to soil or running hempy buckets. I built one already and chucked a clone in it to see how it goes. Not too concerned with the end results. Just want to see what it’s like then maybe run 5-6 plants like that next grow.



Perlite in the bottom. Coco/ perlite in the top.
