| Negative | 1SickPuppy (12 reviews) | On Jan 3, 2009, 1SickPuppy Waukesha, WI wrote: I just received my order from "The Chilli Seed Co" and the order is complete. It took longer than I anticipated to receive my seeds but I am assuming that the Holiday season played a role in this. I also received a pack of free seeds that will come in handy. On April 6th, 2009, 1SickPuppy changed the rating from positive to neutral and added the following: I'm changing my rating to neutral due to lack of germination on 3 of the 4 varieties of seeds purchased from this company. I ordered the Naga Morich which germinated great 90+% but I also purchased the Naga Jolokia "very poor germination" approx 10%, the Chocolate Bhut Jolokia "very poor germination" approx 10%, and the Yellow Burkina "failure" no seeds germinated. I must state that I also ordered the Germination Powder they offer. Also as a benchmark I also purchased Bhut Jolokia seeds from the NMSU and had my seeds germinate at 95%. Of the 20+ varieties of peppers I am growing this year...these are the only ones I had trouble with. The reason I'm not giving a negative is maybe there is some reason beyond their control that contributed to this. On August 13th, 2009, 1SickPuppy changed the rating from neutral to negative and added the following: Now that I am well into the growing season and can see exactly what I have and how it's progressing I have decided to change my rating to a negative. The Naga Jolokia seeds I purchased have turned out to be something completely different. I don't know what they are but they don't look like any of the pictures on the site or what is posted on the web. I took extra care in making sure nothing got mislabeled and all the seed were separated into individual containers. I have never run into anything like this before and this company is not the norm. Most companies have some kind of quality control. This one is either a scam or they are being swindled on their end by scrupulous suppliers. I have already ordered my seed for next year and you can bet your a_ _ it wasn't from this company. Look elsewhere for your hot pepper seeds.........You won't be wasting a whole season growing mystery peppers. On September 10th, 2009, 1SickPuppy added the following: OK..............Where are the Chocolate Bhut Jololkia? As a novelty I ordered these seeds as well. I had a couple of the Choco's germinate and not a hint of brown. If I leave them on the plants any longer they'll turn brown from decomposition. Just as orange/red as the other Bhut's I am growing. What a con! Don't be taken by the fancy web site. Go elsewhere! |
