Title: The Greenhouse's official review thread!
Post by: TheGreenhouse on July 22, 2012, 09:48 pm
Hey guys! Should be about time for the people we shipped samples for to start receiving them, which means it's time for a review thread. We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, concerns.

Let us know what you think about our products!

~ LG Gnome #1

/******************
Update Sep 3:

Well, we've lost two members of the Greenhouse due to our studio needing more hands, so it's down to me, LG Gnome #1!

As such, I'm trying to restructure things so that we offer primarily a local strain, Khyber, with some budget options, so that everyone can get some of the bulk action.

However, as it's just me, and the seed capital has also gone to the studio, I'm officially opening shop at 9AM PST, Tuesday Sept 4. If you want one of the items listed, please contact me through the message so that I can make sure we have everything arranged. For the first 5 bulk orders (over 2 ounces) we will offer free overnight shipping to those who finalize early. As such, I will ask that the first 5 bulk orders come from either the US, UK, Canada, or Mexico.

Also, the first week will be slow! I'm getting a new vacuum seal apparatus and some new packing materials to guarantee our products will get there. However, they may not show up until this Friday, and I refuse to ship orders without it.

So, fire up the ol' Tor Browser, send me some messages, let's get some cannabis going!

This review is a month old from when I first got a sample from TheGreenhouse, I didn't post it at the time because TG disappeared for a while. Here it is now, though. :)

____________________
TheGreenhouse has been a perfect communicator. The Greenhouse gnomes are perfectly quick to respond and amusing as well.

TheGreenhouse's packaging was great, but the shipping was a bit slow. I don't think the reason is because of TheGreehouse, however. Some other packages were also unusually slow, from other vendors.

I wish I could tell you the exact strain that this is, but I've forgotten because it hits me that strong. It is potent, however. (Addendum: I hope TG remembers the strain.)

The smell of the weed has a very light hint of chocolate mixed up with a strong cover of solid cannabis scent. The smell doesn't spread out that much, but it is a gram-size sample and it was a bit condensed by the packaging. Not much, though. And that certainly didn't hurt the trichomes, since I can easily pick them out on the remains of the leaves, and all over the buds.

I how no trouble breaking this up by hand, though I do think it would have been easier with a grinder. The bud feels a bit sticky and a bit soft. The smoke tastes like the generic weed, but it is much more gentle on the lungs and the throat than usual. No trouble holding in a lungful of smoke, but that lungful still knocks me over. The high kicks in after about 10 minutes, it is definitely a creeping kind of high. But it feels superb.

Well, I wanted to do business with The Greenhouse but unfortunately had to cancel my order...

I ordered 1oz of his Outdoor Sour Diesel. It was ordered on July 23rd and a week on it hasn't even been dispatched? I'm really sorry - but I should have been informed about any possible "slow" issues as per pm.

No wonder there's (still!) no pictures up if it's 2 hours drive away, I guess by that what you're saying is you don't have it on hand.

The communication has been poor and the deals conditions not properly explained (re the waiting time). Still no answer to a couple of questions in my messages.

Cancelled my order with this user as can't really have my time wasted when I'm out of stock myself, I need a vendor who can dispatch quickly.

Best of luck in the future and hope you can only learn from (any) issues to become a great vendor.

We've sent bill417 a reply in hopes to handle the issues. However, we can say that shipping times vary, and we usually make large shipments all at once. So patience is probably a good thing... we include shipping in our package prices, so that's a plus, I surmise.

In any case, waiting on bill417's reply. In addition, two other members are getting samples shipped out soon, as well as we're doing 2 reships on the original batch of samples. Pics up soon. Seriously, fast as we can get 'em.

Hi Greenhouse, I'm still waiting for the sample that you said you'd send me...

This was several weeks ago now, so I guess you're yet another vendor who tells his customer one thing but does the other. Especially considering my experience (above).

Thanks for the reply, Bill, but I haven't received any messages from you concerning an address. However, I'll recheck.

Actually, the last message I sent to you was the following, and I hadn't received a reply to it...:-

Quote from: Myself
Yeah sorry if it seemed I was having a go, just initially seemed I'd be able to place the order and receive in relatively decent time, so that was my main concern considering I don't have much of a supply left.

I'd happily accept a sample to see what Outdoor Sour Diesel would be like, be interested to assess the difference (although you'll know - every grow can vary). Upon receipt, I'll give a full review on the forums. If you'd like you could also create a custom feedback listing for 0 btc so that I can add it towards your vendor rating.

You still have my address from before, correct? Should be in PGP.

The questions were:-
'What shipping method will you use? '
'For simplicity purposes, can I order your "1 Ounce Sour Diesel Organic Outdoor" (@26.51 BTC) - and you send me Half Ounce (14g) Purple Strain Hybrid, Half Ounce (14g) Sour Diesel? ' - Obviously this order was cancelled and I'm looking at dealing with another vendor.

Hopefully you can change my opinion for future months though!

Thanks.

B417.

I can re-supply my address if necessary. Just thought that seeing as no package was ever sent out to me, there would be some recollection of my address. As (obviously) vendor's shouldn't retain information - if you're still at a loss for my details then I can happily pass them on. Same deal as before (samples for reviews).

Thanks! Yeah, I try not to retain info. Less problems, less worry.
Send me a message with the address. We only really stock Khyber now, but I'd be happy to send you a sample of that.

an update on this post: I did not receive my order but I did cancel it. I can't modify that post so I am replying to update.

Thanks toadllama. Let me know if there's a reason you had to cancel. If it's a problem with our side, I'll give you a free shipping upgrade on your next order.

Nice thing is, since it's just me running it, I can be a little looser with my bonuses to make the customers happy, right? ;-)

My reasoning was that the shipping was a bit slow for my tastes.

I know some vendors take awhile to ship their orders due to the nature of the sale, but I was looking for a vendor that would be able to immediately fulfill my order (within 20 days of the purchase), seeing as how I am not ready to purchase larger amounts. Small amounts mean I run out quickly, but I must earn a vendor's trust first before attempting to buy larger.
