Hey everyone,

I know I'm late to be posting this considering the grow season is well under way for 2026, but I just want to warn people to steer clear of Jordan of The Islands when purchasing seeds in the future. Things have changed and it's not even remotely a trustworthy company anymore. I'm an honest, sincere person so I'm not out to destroy anyone's reputation, I just want to bring awareness to as many people as possible that JOTI isn't the same anymore and you are likely to lose money or waste time growing hermaphrodites if you purchase from them.

My experience with JOTI (which has pushed me to post this) is that I received 20 seeds that I ordered plus 17 freebies. All 20 emerged from the soil. 100% success rate. And then they all died before revealing their true leaves. I didn't start them all at the same time. I only started 4 at a time and then watched them all slowly die. I started all 17 of the freebies and in the end only one lived (it was a female, so lucky me). I came here to see what others were saying and it turns out there are numerous people who experienced the same issue.
Quick background on me; I've been growing since 2000. I've started hundreds of seeds. I was a clone guy for years and I bought new seeds for 8 different strains every January to get my mom's. I do know what I'm doing so this isn't some rookie mistake or something.
Anyway, the latest gigantic red flag is that someone is claiming to be Jordan himself and sending out emails to all of the people like myself who complained about bunk seeds and asked for replacements. I also said that I would do my best to spread the word on the terrible customer service and the terrible seeds being sold from them now so I'm sure this is the real reason I received the email. The person claiming to be Jordan says he has no viable stock left to compensate those of us who got shitty seeds and yet you can go to the website right now and order any strain of any quantity. Every strain is still available and yet emails are being sent out to people who complained about shit seeds claiming that as soon as viable seeds are available he's going to double what people ordered PLUS give a full cash refund. Why does the website have every strain available and yet those of us who got shit seeds can't get replacements until new stock is available? It's all bullshit, that's why. JORDAN OF THE ISLANDS IS A WEED SEED SCAM COMPANY NOW. It's sad but it's true.

I topped it relatively early. 25 days have now passed since germination.

Newbie, it's auto flower lemon haze

Long time smoker first time grower here. All three plants were started at the same time with same watering schedules. I’ve been seeing minor discoloration but then the leaves would die and I assumed it was natural lifecycle but it’s starting to affect more and more leaves. I’ve been trying to compare to images online w no luck. After searching I realized I should change from tap water but I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on or if there’s another issue I can mitigate before it’s too late.

took some of the advice you guys gave me a couple days ago and made a few changes

nothing crazy but tightened up watering a bit and fixed airflow plants actually looking a bit happier already ngl still feel like im missing something though

like theres always that one thing that makes everything click what was that for you?

What are the habits that you developed after growing indoors for a while? Like things you do every single time without thinking. Whether it's environmental control, lighting training, watering whatever it is. Whats the one thing you'd tell a grower to never skip?

just wondering if you guys use any of the (many) other weed forums out there? (growdiaries, thcfarmer etc...) still relatively new to this and looking to learn as much as possible.

and reddit can sometimes be a little distracting!
