Refund for bunk seeds?? Seeds Direct...

I was wondering if Seeds Direct ever refunds or sends new seeds to people that get bunk seeds.

I bought:

10 Bubble Gum - Serious Seeds
10 Blueberry - Dutch Passion
10 Northern Lights - Nirvana
10 Cali Orange - Nivana

I tried to germinate 6 bubble gums. 3 germinated, 2 grew.

I tried to germinate 7 blueberries. 2 germinated, NONE grew.

I tried to germinate 3 Nothern lights. NONE germinated.

I tried to germinate 7 Cali Orange. 3 germinated, NONE grew.


I used pure bottled water. Sterile rich potting soil. I used the Paper towl method, and just soakin in water method. I used sterile plastic cups, placing them in the cup with plastic wrap ontop.

I have germinated and grown quite a few seeds/plants of different strains. This is the first time I have had this much trouble getting seeds to grow.

I am VERY unhappy.

What can I do???? Any help would be appreciated.

Exclamation I would send an e-mail.

I haven't heard of any serious hassles from seedsdirect; your money order receipt should come in handy; I know they like proof/ confirmation of orders. I would be clear in what it is you are requesting from them in the body of your e-mail, but you should expect a reasonably fast reply.

If you have a real hard time of it, just report your experience in the seed bank rating site; do a search on our site for the link; I'm too lazy to post the link here

Good luck,

OMM

have you had problems when growing bagseeds?
imo.......... i would master growing''free'' seeds & then buy some Serious seeds.

i had Serious bubble gum, & ak47 & they're both still in my garden & i had 100% sprout rate..EXCEPT for 2 ak's & 1 bbgm
seeds that were duds(the seeds were cracked & dried up inside)

**whenever i use BRAND NAME strains i always germinate in rockwool,*

what kind of SOIL did u use ??

i have practiced... i have probably successfully germinated and grown over 30 plants from all different types of seeds.... i know how to make a seed grow...

i have never had a problem like this... pure water, sterile enriched soil, sterile cups... you name it, ive done... so the probability of getting a plant to grow is pretty high.... and when you look at the numbers, the actual percentage is extremely low...
