Update I ordered a few hundred dollars in…

I ordered a few hundred dollars in seeds and as it was meeting a threshold for free seeds and freebies and all that didn’t get none of that only got the seeds. I ordered contacted customer service took them a couple days to get back to me. They said sorry that they’re gonna fix it. That was almost a month ago. Emailed them again just been ghosted. I’m going back to 420 fast buds. At least a customer service will honor what they have to say and now they’re getting the photo. Seeds and those are pretty damn good too.

So I emailed that email again they wanted me to emai still nothing lost all faith buying 20 to 30 seed at a times and still have to fight for your own promos

USPS Ground Advantage is a problem

I have experimented with a number of their strains. They are nothing special, IMO. But their service can be very slow, and they ship USPS Ground Advantage. That is where the problem comes in, because USPS is unreliable and frequently misroutes the packages. In the summer time, all these extra days traveling in hot trucks is not good for the package. I would only buy from them again if I lived in CA. Otherwise it's a game of chance they will survive the shipping, whenever they get around to it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

I’m sorry to hear that your experience with our shipping and delivery times has been frustrating. We understand how concerning it can be to see a package take longer than expected, particularly during the warmer months when you’re worried about the conditions it may encounter in transit.

While USPS handles the package once it leaves our facility, we understand that delays and misrouting can be frustrating for customers, and we appreciate you bringing that concern to our attention.

We’re also sorry to hear that our genetics didn’t stand out to you. We know every grower has different preferences when it comes to strains, flavors, effects, and overall performance, and we appreciate you giving several of our varieties a try.

We truly value the feedback, particularly regarding shipping, and will continue looking for ways to improve the customer experience from the time an order is placed through delivery.

Thank you again for giving Humboldt Seed Company a try.

Kind regards,
Hannah

Gave Humbolt A try and bought A 3pk BBM and 3pk Sunset Bride. Never had germination issues until these bunk seeds! 100% no germination! Other seeds right next to them did just fine!

Hmm,,, we do not make a strain called Sunset Bride. If you have issues with our Blueberry Muffin please fill out the replacement request form on our website. The link is here: https://californiahempseeds.com/replacement-request/
We always replace seeds that do not germinate.

Black D.O.G

I grew Black D.O.G. for the last 6 years outdoors in Europe in wet and cold climate.
The reason why i keep growing Black D.O.G is because this strain has a good mould resistance and i like the kush taste.
Harvest is always arround 15 october with minimal bud rot.

Hermies guaranteed

They have bad breeding so lots of hermies. Then they blame the grower. They replace bad seeds with more bad seeds, you lost the time and money of a whole season. I will never order from them again, and it looks to me like the positive reviews were written by paid shills.

I'm sorry to hear you had hermaphrodites while growing our seeds. The most common causes we have seen through much R&D is overfeeding nitrogen during flowering or a hard flip when going from veg to flower (indoors). We have hundreds of licensed growers growing large quantities of our seeds with no issues whatsoever, so hermies are not guaranteed to happen. We are sorry you had this experience, and we will always do whatever we can to make it right.

I purchased blueberry pancakes

I purchased blueberry pancakes. The seeds themselves looked very underdeveloped, but I decided to give them a go anyways. They had a terrible germination rate of about 25 percent, the ones that did germinate came up looking sickly. This is not a me problem either, this is for sure a problem with the seeds and genetics themselves. I had them side by side with several different genetics from 4 other breeders, and these are the only ones that had problems. I have been growing cannabis for well over a decade, and gardening plants, trees, and flowers for over 30 years. It's simply a trash product from them and I have no idea how they justify letting product like this leave their doors. Especially for the premium prices they charge. I will be staying away from them in the future.

Humboldt did right by me.

I purchased five seeds of a certain variety. Only two actually grew as they should. I contacted Humboldt and provided my purchase information. They did the right thing and sent replacement seeds. Humboldt has my business in the future.

Germination Rate sucks

The first seeds had a germination rate of 60%. After I complained, they were replaced. The second time, the germination rate was even worse... Such expensive seeds, but poor germination rate. I've never had such a poor germination rate. I used the damp cloth method. I tried scratching the black, non-germinated seeds with sandpaper, but that didn't help either.

Sorry to hear you've had this experience. Can you let me know what strain this was? We do guarantee germination. Also, I'm not seeing any orders under your name. Where were your seeds purchased?

Save your money this company is shit…

If I could give zero stars that’s what I’d give!! Plain and simple these seeds suck they’re expensive af and then when you get the seeds they’re tiny af AND THE GERMINATION RATE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!! Just look at all these other reviews EVERYONE is complaining about germination!! Ive tried Humboldt twice first time start 26 blueberry muffins and only got 9 plants when it was sd and done then I just started a pk of chicken and waffles and they actually gave me an extra seed so out of 11 seeds NOT ONE POPPED!! and if you don’t buy your seeds directly through Humboldt your screwed they won’t go good for the shit seeds unless you order through them!! Save your money this company is a joke!!

We germ test all of our seeds before they are put into packaging. If we don't get 98%, then they don't get packaged. We understand things can happen though. They can get damaged in shipping, not stored correctly, or not the best germination method is used. We always replace seeds that do not germinate. We want our customers to be successful. We can replace seeds if you are in the U.S. Reach out to us at infor@humboldtseedcompany.com

Top notch customer service!

Alright, time to change the former review.
After a really bumpy start due to germination problems and following misunderstandings with the customer service, i can now say that Humboldtseedcompany regained my trust and solved the problem!
They remained resillient and eager to solve my problem the whole time. Even though it took some time. But in the end they did solve it, and that is everythings that counts. At least for me.
So here we go guys, 5 Star review from me for fixing the problem!
From the standpoint today and my experience made with Humboldtseedcompany i can totally recommend them!
Keep it up guys, and thx again for sticking to it and fixing it. I appreciate it!

Cannabis seeds coming from California…

Cannabis seeds coming from California do not germinate. e.g., Seedsman, Humboltd, SeedSupreme (nor Supreme Seeds). I nolw order from Nirvana overseas, and they have a better germ ration 4 our of 5 seeds germ. Advice: avoid any seed coming our of the US.
