    Does anyone that lives in the states know this site? I have been add I g to my order hoping to be shipping out the 24th weather has been soo bad this year.
    I love the site it's mostly seedlings and flaskes. But in the plant group instead of showing just a pic of the plant flower and what I could look like. They priced out each individual plant and a little bio- with leaves height and problems etc..
    I have 15 plants coming from him. And I would like any feedback?

    Thanks all ♥♡
    Ps. Its a seed conservatory

    15 plants! OK, it's official, you are addicted.

    Troy's site and business is well known mostly for the flasks. I have provided some seed to him and have received some free flasks in return. I believe the individual seedlings that you are buying are a small part of his business and mostly a result of experimenting with the best way to grow deflasked seedlings. I have never purchased one of the established seedlings from him but I know some people here on the forum have. As far as I know he is very reputable. IMO some of the seedlings seem to have a premium price but, as you said, you know exactly what you are getting and also know the parentage.

    I would personally recommend other sources for seedlings, but they are often used and I have not heard too many complaints. I have my own issues with some things that I have seen but I shouldn't allow that to influence you. The people I know that work with them have been satisfied and they say there has been good communication. Most reorder. I don't suspect you will have any issues.
