Has anyone else seen the drama going on between seeds here now and gas reaper genetics? Gas Reaper posted on IG that he quit SHN and that he was threatened that his name would get ruined by James Bean and is warning about nuked seeds coming from the sale James just put on his gear in an attempt to make his genetics look bad. Been hearing some not so great things about SHN aside from this and just wanted to see what everyone else’s thoughts were seeing that The Dude and Scotty endorse the company so much.

SHN is a damn good company with quality genetics.
I’ve gotten three packs no prob from them. Fourth pack I got yesterday all the seeds are dried up and cracking. Waiting to see what they say about a return on Monday. Not anticipating an issue. They have always seemed pretty solid to me.
Never have any trouble with SHN. Seeds are always good and service is good as well. Always drama in this community, especially when it comes to breeders. Hard to know what goes on behind the scenes.
I ordered some “Rabid Runtz” during the sale, got them promptly and popped 3. They’re starting week three and looking great.
Everything I’ve ever ordered from seedsherenow has been flawless. Every bean popped last couple runs.
Man these clowns t seeds here now sold me Humboldt seed co blueberry muffin female that ain’t blueberry muffin Humboldt confirmed this .. May have or may have not been there end the issue lies.. Who knows.. But they are wild one of a kind mystery strain so o shouldn’t complain to hard 🤣
Yeah man SHN had maintained a good name over the years in the community, mainly due to their guarantee and huge selection. But…theres for sure been some shady shit pulled by James Bean in the past and he’s got no problem vouching for crooks and snitches. All in all it seems like after looking more into the Ethos/Darkhorse 2018 drama that certainly doesnt make him look great. He’s repeatedly vouched for guys like Leo Stone of Aficionado, who sounds like a crook to me if he sold “charity packs” for Mandlebrot’s son and pocketed prettv much all of the money after throwing the family a couple grand. He vouched for Shilo massive who was also using the death of Mandlebrot to make a quick buck using his genetics and not cutting in Emerald Mountain Legacy. Seems like he vouches for a lot of crooks and isnt above being complicit in fucking over someone hes doing or was doing business with. All in all man it sounds like the same ole shit, people being greedy, losing sight of the craft and the the plant. Its really just a bummer when you hear about it.
That came off a bit convicting, I should add thats all based on what Ive gathered from internet hearsay, podcast ect. I try and take it all with a grain of salt, just kinda how it appears. Theres too many good options for breeders out there with good reputations to roll the dice on the dodge-y ones i guess is what im saying. Im sure having to juggle the good apples with the bad can get you caught up in some horseshit.
Check out Matt Riots live feeds on IG or Youtube and if you catch him live you can ask and see if he’ll answer. He’s gotta protect his business but if anyones not gonna keep their opinions in check its him haha.
I have tried so many times to order from shn only to have the hardest time actually getting my order. I have since gave up and found other banks. I know James bean is the friend to the show but his name is getting tied up with so much bs whether it’s rumor or not. Its not a good look.
And also what’s up with this auction site now? Holding back breeders packs to Jack up prices in an auction? Thats kinda grimey to me.
A couple things. Firstly I am growing some Gas reaper right now. About week 2 flower. Secondly I got them from SHN. I also follow both on Insta.
The beans arrived very quickly and solid. I then popped both 5 packs that contained 6 beans each immediately. All of the ChemMO popped within 24 hours and doing very fine. As for the roadkill, only 2 of the 6 made it. 3 seeds developed bright blue mold the first night in the paper towel. I separated and cleaned the moldy ones lightly with bottled water and peroxide. they never popped and turned black. The other 3 Roadkill made it and doing great. So I got 9 auto’s from two 5 packs. I will share more info in Dank Nugs after harvest.
Honestly James Bean and GasReaper from Ohio really need each other and must work this out. Those beans are right in the thick of saving my ass from 20 males right now and I don’t want this community to lose out on the opportunity to represent Ohio… Both of you get it together and hug it out please.
Also Why would anyone microwave then distribute nuked beans? That ruins their reputation as well.
I have ordered dozens of packs from SHN and they arrive with shocking speed… I m talking about they are sitting there thinking maybe you just got out and need some gear like two years ago. And there is always a ton of fire in each pack. And heres the thing, James is trying to build a trust with the community that has been badly abused in the past by dead beans and untested gear. Can you imagine what it must cost to sift through all those beans and make sure your not burning people? Like I guarantee he instantly has to randomly open and pop hundreds of packs as they arrive because he learned the hard way about purchasing dead beans. That’s why he exists… that’s why everyone doesn’t just buy off the breeders all the time. He’s here to protect you and himself, respect that please and thanks!
To be clear I mean the community has been abused for years by many people, but not by SHN or anything. They are trying to clean this mess up LOL!
Was the dude grows coupon a one time use? Because I tried using it again with the DGC pros list and it said I reached my limit on that coupon…….I mean that’s kinda lame it’s only 10 percent off…..that covered some of the electronic fee and shipping.
Although I’ve been happy with service and the freebies I’ve gotten.
I’ve noticed that seeds here now’s IG page has the comment section off. Can’t comment about anything now. I’m guessing there is a bit of a backlash from seeds here now supposedly ripping off gas reaper genetics. Gas reaper warned everybody that any seeds of his sold by seeds here now can be guaranteed since all the seeds are getting nuked before seeds here now ships them to ruin his reputation. This is all hear say and I have no proof. It’s just what I read on gas reapers genetics IG page.
*can’t be guaranteed
Have tried twice to buy seeds from sun. First time bought 10 had none pop and was told by sun to wait 30 days as many strains take that long, what a bunch of bs. I have been growing for over 30 and never have had seeds take longer then a few days to a week. The second time the seeds were not what was supposed to be in the pack. It’s to easy to just go right through the breeder and cut the middle con guy out
I certainly think that something is going on behind the scenes. I had a pack of BestCoast and a pack of SeattleChronicSeeds not pop at all. Then I also had an older pack of Mandalorian regs pop 1/8th inch but then just stop.
If you look Gnome Automatics(formerly Mandalorian) has not restocked SHN in ages, ALL of BestCoast’s gear and most of Rasta Jeff’s is ‘ON SALE’ (or clearance but they don’t want to admit it). Rasta Jeff is now selling direct(good for him), GnomeAutos is stocking other seed banks but not SHN. It might be simple business disagreement about how much of a cut they get or it might be shady shit, either way I can read between the lines.
As far as my packs that didn’t pop I’m not going to bother complaining since most of these guys have been doing this from back when you could go to jail (and some have).
