Tangerine Cookies

★ This comment is connected to a Tangerine Cookies review! ★

my issue is with the quality of seeds from Elev8. They were green and immature, and very poor quality. They had a 30% germination rate on this strain, and lower with the 2nd strain I purchased. They wouldnt not reveal how their seeds are stored, but assured they are viable. When I contacted them regarding the poor germination rate they didnt offer any resolution, refund, future discount, nothing. When I sent photos, I did get a response, but it was like Meh....no big. I find this breeder unprofessional, and their seeds are SUB STANDARD and UNACCEPTABLE. They bother to number and seal the container, but NO DATE, so who knows how old their stock is. For the price they charge, I would expect a bit more professionalism and considersation rather than to be treated as if Im some idiot noob that has zero education in the field. Been a Master Gardener x20 yrs and growing cannabis x19yr. Continuing college education in entomology and horticulture. Grafted 5 apple trees, crossed 2 different tomatoes, etc...hardly a rookie counting on "bro science" If the seeds I made from this strain come out better, Ill revise my review. But the sub standard seeds I got did not produce anything close to the description given by Elev8 seeds. I DO NOT recommend getting scammed by these people and find another breeder that doesnt try to pass off BUNK SEEDS at PREMIUM prices.

I have a few complaints about my experience with Elev8 seeds. 1）I ordered 2 strains 4 days apart, and they refused to extend their 10% discount on the 2nd order, even tho I was already paying double shipping. （most companies would let 4 days slide for an order far exceeding $200） 2） First to arrive TC, seeds were sealed, not dated. Seeds are ALL GREEN and immature looking. When contacted, they assured me their seeds are viable. However, offered ZERO GUARANTEE.....Out of 6 seeds, only 2 germinated. I contacted them again, and they responded as if I must have done something incorrectly. They would NOT reveal how their seeds are stored when asked either. Every other seed I started on that round germinated @ 100% rate, only the ones from Elev8 did not. Im not surprised after seeing them on reciept. They should have at least offered me a future discount or something due to the poor germination rate at the prices they charge, thats over $10 per seed. 3） after harvest, I took photos （with a $1200 camera/$800 macro lens） and I did get a response at least, "Meh.....thanks" like- no big deal. Seeds should be fully mature, tan color with tiger stripes. THEY WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK!

Grow info: Does not grow like a 70/30 Sativa dominant strain, more indica traits such as big fat leaves, fat short colas, not the sweet smell or taste of sativa Im used to. I get vicks vapo rub, but tangerine is a stretch. The plant is round, also incica like, finishes in about 60+ d 2nd wk in OCT. Fairly disease resistant, and easy to grow. Output sub standard. Could be due to the poor quality seeds that Elev8 tried to pass off as viable. If next yrs grow turns out differently with the seeds Imade from this plant, Ill revise this section of my review. Not like Im a rookie grower x 19yrs, and a Master Gardener x 20 yrs, with continuing education in entomology and horticulture. Grafted apples, roses, camilla, tree peony and crossed my own perfect canning tomatoes. （in which the flowers have both m/f parts and require isolation） I hardly consider myself a rookie relying on "bro science" like the UNPROFESSIONAL quality I recieved from Elev8 seeds. My experience with the 2nd strain I purchased had an even lower germination rate than the tangerine cookies. But Ill include that on my revew of that strain. I do NOT recommend this company or ANYTHING they will try to scam you and send a sub standard seed that is NOT VIABLE. Highly UNACCEPTABLE; They made my list of "NEVER AGAIN"
