Hi my name is Patrick and I purchased 10 pack of seeds and while it was growing there were seeds popping out on my plants I'm not very happy with this product and I spent $150 because it was on sale when I purchased them. Plus it took more time to get them, so it took about at least 3 weeks to a month to get my seeds and they came about 30 minutes away from me. Also plus the first time they sent it got stolen and when they sent the second package I had 3 broken seeds and 2 out of 7 didn't germante and now my feminized plants are producing seeds and I've been growing for more then 25 years, and they sent the seeds in a homemade package wasn't even professional or anything and also they mailed it in a small envelope not happy and they do business in the sketchiest way possible. I thought when I called them to see where my seeds were they were not very nice over the phone with me. Also my results for right now is not good I'm not impressed with your business you scammed me and took my money.

DO NOT use this seed supplier took 6 weeks to receive my seeds after calling to NO avail. Then 4 seeds of the 10 popped VERY poor quality! Shop elsewhere. Never again will I use this .

Never again. Over 90% of my order did not pop. Total waste of money. Customer service was almost non existent; except for the one conversation I did have which basically was absolutely a waste of time. Short version was they didn't pop because of grower error....lol.....been growing for years. Until this brand I averaged a 98% success rate with seeds I purchased from all over the world. After the initial conversation the seller did not answer my calls or emails. They did not accept "any" responsibility and did not even consider making it right. Hope you enjoyed the money on my initial order as that will be the only money you ever get from me. Buyer beware.

Been seeing alot of negative reviews on here over Dr Greenthumb. My experience with Dr Greenthumb seeds was great. Ordered Bubba x OG one of the most potent strains i ever grew..even the fan leaves were covered in crystals around the edges. And every single seed popped in less than 2 days. Soon I am ordering 5 seeds of Oh Zone.

This review is only based on ordering and receiving the product. Sent my money order in the mail on october 29th. Recieved my seeds on Nov 22nd. Seeds came in good condition, all looked healthy, maybe one had a very small opening but may be able to survive. The letter came in the mail, was a very small envelop, and i literally couldnt tell something was inside until i shook it and knew i got what i ordered. i ordered ECSD 10 Regular, got 12. I cant give rate based on the quality of the product. But i took a risk after reading all the comments under me, and decided you know what, shit happens to everyone, 150 bingos for something that possible might be legit genetics is worth the risk. I am very happy with my order, at least i know it wasnt confiscated and that i recieved something. When i sprout these babies i will post a follow up. But so far, i cannot complain when it comes to receiving the product. I actually was going to call him and find out if he shipped it, but i decided based on the reviews previously written, that i would give it some time and reach out to him after a month or so. Dont know his personality, dont really want to find out. I happy with what i got. his method of shipping the product works, very stealthy. for me, it was a risk, but it paid off. Thank you Dr Greenthumb! i hope you read this!

I had turkish cookies and ecsd both germinated fine and both had good plants..I then ordered gorilla glue 4 and had 2 cracked seeds..All failed to germinate except one plant..I treated that single plant like gold and grew it bjg..It had no smell at all, no stickiness and was a mildew magnet...I threw the whole thing in my compost bin...When I emailed him his excuse was?your too wet, damp but not wet? Seeds are old and dont germinate, what a waste of money and time, I will never do business again with him

took longer for delivery than expected,was getting pretty skeptical with all the bad review and all but I called and talked to him,ya hes a bit crusty but he was helpful in giving me my tracking info and what not. I got ecsd and bubba og, only half the bubba germed but they all ended up a little different but all fire,the ecsd had a few duds but there was def a keeper or two in the half pack I popped one in particular that finishes very fast for sd at like 9 weeks, reeks of diesaly goodness is dense(unlike the other phenos)and goes purple if its near a fan so all in all I was pleased with my purchase and would buy of them again in the future.

for a breeder/seed bank that is only hours away from me ,why after 3 weeks havent I received my order, bank says youve cashed the money order. Ive ordered from other Ontario seed banks and have received in days after. for the price you charge I wouldnt have expected service like this. I must say ill never be ordering from you again and will spread as many words as I can against you at the next lift and karma expos. people like you are bad for the business . . .

From Massachusetts and ordered east coast sour diesel. Received dirty (left stains on papertowl) and cracked seeds. Looked like something from the 70s out of Colombian dirt weed. Talked to him and he said that I suck and is shit out of luck. Actually called me liar (fighting words if he was in front of me) and scammers. A common comment i see he uses to justify his shitty product. He just got 200 dollars of negative advertisement for a life time. Bad business, bad product.

Ordered 10 seeds. Got 13 because the doc knew some where cracked? Not one germinated. All old seeds no vigor left in them. The doc blamed us for failure. Two different experienced growers germinating 4 separate tries. Purchased many times before...no issues but this time, issues. The doc said though sh$#t. Not a good guy if things dont work its your fault gauranteed.stay away.

Had an order confiscated by customs. I think. I received an expresses envelope that had been opened with a razor then taped shut. The beans were missing. I was very polite every time I called. First time Icalled and explained what happened, he said to email him photos of the sliced open and taped shut mailing envelope. Did this a few times and the Email kept getting returned for his mailbox being full. Called again and he was hostile and rude with a real sarcastic, obnoxious tone of voice. Claimed I was using the wrong email which I was not, I copied and pasted it from his website. Then he switched his tactic to he does not offer refunds or reship. I politely mentioned that using the US mail for express or any kind of delivery was a bad idea, when he used to use DHL He claimed he never used DHL, then blamed the whole situation on me and Donald Trump, because I insisted on US mail( which I did not) and told me "I knew it all" and "to do business some where else." Im out $235 on this, not mention the stress and paranoia of the confiscation. I have yet to receive any kind of confiscation letter after almost 3 weeks. Still the whole situation makes me nervous as hell. Save yourself a lot of money, time, stress, and potential legal problems by never doing business with them.

I was skeptical of Dr. Greenthumb seedbank but decided to give them a try. I ordered feminized ECSD and thats what I received. There was an extra seed in the pack, all germinated, all looked very uniform but varied somewhat in flavor but you could tell they were related. I had two keepers and would order again. No credit cards is inconvenient and the whole process of sending a mail order and waiting for the seeds takes a long time. Communication with Dr. Greenthumb may as well be non existent and after weeks of waiting and not hearing from Dr. Greenthumb the seeds finally arrived in my mailbox. Its a shame it takes so long but Im very happy with his ECSD.

DR. GREENTHUMB SEEDS CANADA REVIEW FROM A TRUE MEDICAL PATIENT: SPREAD THE WORD THIS IS A COMPANY TO AVOID IF YOU WANT TO SHOP RESPONSIBLY. DR. GREENTHUMB SEEDS CANADA HIRES PEOPLE TO WRITE MANY FAKE/POSITIVE REVIEWS ONLINE AND THIS IS WHAT DECEIVES SO MANY NEWBIE CANADIAN GROWERS. HE RESIDES IN CANADA BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. THIS IS THE KIND OF PERSON WHO TAKES ADVANTAGE OF TRULY SICK PEOPLE, BUT CLAIMS HE IS NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY. ONLY SOME OF HIS STRAINS CONTAIN THE REAL GENETICS, BUT HIS SEED QUALITY AND VIGOUR OF PLANTS IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE OTHER REPUTABLE SEED COMPANIES. HE LIES ABOUT HIS STRAINS AND BREEDING PROCESS WITHOUT HESITATION, AND CHARGES SICK PATIENTS OVER (3X) THE AMOUNT FOR ONLY 5 SEEDS. YOU WILL FIND THE GENETICS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THROUGH SOME OF THE MORE OBSCURE BREEDERS. THE MAJORITY OF POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR DR GREENTHUMB ARE FAKE, OR THE CUSTOMER IS SADLY BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. NOT TO MENTION HIS DEMEANING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANNER OVER THE PHONE?DONT BE BLINDED!

Hello , i decide to leave a review here because it may help other to decide if they will buy or not. I bought a pak of girl scoot cookie strain forum cut S1. Because i am hunting pheno and geno as a passion in life. First time i got on the site , my first impression was good because he got some rare strain and his cookies on the picture was looking exactly like the one i was looking for so i sent a couple of email to ask more info, he was not rude , he told me what i wanted to know , he dont answer my last email but i told myself ok ... i give a try and i will see , and i got my seed after one week approx , they came with instruction of what to do and what to not do. And they where protected by a plastic ring. I only plant two seed and they pop after one day only and they where looking stronger than some greenhouse seed bank that i use to buy in the past. and i find one pheno exactly like on the picture like i wanted . One was faster than the other and they where beautiful , more beautiful than all my other. I will give another try and i recommend . Dont know for US customer but for canada it was better than any other experience i had.

I sent Dr. Greenthumbs $120 cash about 2 weeks ago and never got anything. Looks like they pocketed the money and saved themselves the bother of mailing me anything. It was just what I was worried about. This is common practice for these types of companies. I phoned up and asked the person about it and was told to fuck off with my attitude, but I wasnt angry on the phone. These people who write that they have great experiences with the company are employees of them. This company should be avoided because theyll take your money and pocket it like they did to me.

Dr. Greenthumbs establishment is well known through-out the medical cannabis industry as being a true benchmark in product, service, and delivery. The bad reviews that i see on here are complete horse shit. I have been buying religiously from Dr. Greenthumb for over 5 years without a single hiccup. Their genetics are 100% clean. They even carry some of the most legendary strains of all time...IN ORIGINAL FORM! How many breeders can truly say that!? Not many!! This place deserves to be at the top of the list in my opinion.

He was very rude on the phone. Very arrogant. I dropped 150 because I was in a rush for a caregiver. He hasnt delivered. He is so rude and dismissive on the phone, I am wondering if it is even worth trying to chase my order with him. Lesson learned.

I ordered Dr. Greenthumbs Turkish Delight, Bubba Kush, ECSD, and Iranian C99.... Dr. Greenthumbs genetics are sooo far ahead of pretty much every other breeder out there. I really think these bad reviews are from competitors. His strains are mostly originals, and the ones that arent originals are perfectly bred and selected. The healthiest and strongest plants out of any of my plants by leaps and bounds.

I was and still am VERY disappointed in the quality of the og kush seeds I purchased for 150.00 for 10 seeds,only 5 came up!Thats 75 down the drain!I wouldnt order from here,very poor quality seeds!

guestMarch 2014

I dont know where all these great reviews come from for Dr Greenthumb. Received only 2 out of 5 orders placed. Germination rate was quite acceptable BUT his comparison of his various strain strengths to being better than AK47 was way out of line. Only one of the 5 strains grown, ( all listed as being 4.5 or greater), came anywhere remotely close to AK47. This guy needs to get real with his descriptions.

The Doc has been very good, I have sent him lots of money of the years, and not once has the money not gotten there, OR the seeds not made it to me...most seed strains,I got 100 percent germination and once I had problems with germination, he replaced them. Always got the seeds from him in a very quick manner..his phone manner may seem abrasive sometimes, but we all have had bad days before. Over all, very satisfied customer....BC,Canada

Been dealing with the doc for 3 seasons now. For outdoor early genetics, only rcmc can compare BUT rcmc does not have fems. I sent the doc 3 grand for 14 packs (iranian bubba, iranian deisel, and iranian chem) on march 29, express shipping to and fro and got my order by the 7th.Today i ordered 11 more packs (5iranian chem, 6 iranian deisel) and sent another 1500. Had a germ issue with the iranian chems and he was willing to work with me to fix it but the deisels were 100%. While hes not the most buddy buddy type of guy when you call in, hes stil personally answering damn near all calls and attemps to help out if its possible....if i had rookies calling me all day id get fed up pretty quick and get an attitude on me too. Pay the extra 35 bucks and you can track your order lol kinda simple way to ensure it gets sent. oh and the iranian og and iranian chem were hands down the best outdoor my and my customers ever had, and iv havent seen a hermie yet. Could be because im not a muppet growing in my closet tho.

This guy used to be good. Now hes an incompetent who engages in false advertising. Expect a low germination rate, hermies and a much longer flowering period than advertised. This last grow was the worst I had in ten years. CBD Mediplant, now called only Mediplant because it turns out it doesnt have any CBD in it. One plant is an indica, the other a hermaphrodite sativa. Only two out of four germinated. The sativa is a smelly piece of crap. The indica is nice, but no CBD.

Hey People, Im not sure whos ordering what And why theyre having so many problems but Ive had nothing but positive experiences when dealing with this company. The Orders are always what theyre supposed to be and arrive in a timely fashion. The "doc" himself admittedly has come off as a bit abrasive from time to time but who hasnt had a bad day? Overall hes been more than helpful, willing to speak Personally with customers And offers good help and advice whenever needed. I personally wouldnt hesitate to recommend this breeder, every bit as efficient And competitive as any of the larger companies.

The worst customer service. Called to order seeds. The guy that answered was very rude. Asked a few questions he said he did not have the time and call later to ask questions and order. Waste of time! I never called back. Why give this guy my money when he does not have time for me. Ive checked other reviews on the Internet about this crook. Most reviews are negative. Save your money and use a reputable seed seller. Stay far from dr greenthumb
