Title: NorthStars Review - 100% Organic Indoor / Canada / MBB packing / Blueberry-Kush
Post by: northstars on April 17, 2013, 04:20 am
Hello, we are northstars and this is our review thread.
We also use this thread to post news and updates.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello!
We are new here and Canadian.   We are going to take it slow here to get started and really enjoy working with this great community!

We grow and sell quality cannabis and have been in operation for about 18 years.  We provide access to medical quality cannabis and also breed strains.

Our Blueberry x Kush is what we call Kushberry.  It's something worth trying.   It won the Cannabis Cup for 1999 'Mostly Indica' category.  The seeds originally come from a reputable online seed supplier.  We've grown many variety over the years, but this one our favorite.  It seems to be the most potent and useful for medical applications.

Our specialty is growing organic cannabis and maintaining our organic status.  Its expensive to use these kinds of plant foods and time consuming but its worth it.  The taste and smell is outstanding over chemical fertilizers.  We've spent a lot of time honing the process down, as organic plant foods are unstable and need constant checking of PH and nutrient (NPK) levels.  We hope you appreciate the work and effort that goes into providing organic varieties of cannabis.  You will notice the difference.

I've received my order of one gram sample from northstars. .
I was asked to come here and post something about it, so here goes.

Delivery was fast, Mine came next day but we are close. Came in like any mail.

Stealth was funny. Worked great.

Weed was skunky and you could smell it as soon as I opened the bag.
Strong weed, the sample lasted a while.

As far as weed goes, it's among the better weed I've had for sure. Lots of resin and a hashy taste.
He's a pretty straight up vendor.  I'll be back for more.  He says his prices will be good.

I like the idea that I'm buying from the grower.  With fast delivery it's worth checking out as my regular to to guy for weed.  I can't wait for the listings to come in.

I received the sample ok.  Thanks bud. Dat shit is dank bro!
I'll write a better review later, but here goes.

Quality:  5/5
Packaging 4/5
Stealth 5/5
Communication:  5/5

Without saying too much, Your packaging used some papers from around the house. You should only use fresh new paper in case someone traces those papers somehow.

It took me 10 minutes to find the damn thing. Perhaps, too good of stealth.

The bud was fluffy and sprung back to shape after I opened it.   I was worried it squished all the goodness out. 
It smokes great in a pipe. Good taste and smell. The high is pretty strong.  I didn't get any purple leaves like your page said though. This bud was all green in color, but damn good anyway.   I certainly got more then moneys worth.  Thanks for the extra

We have just received our new shipping materials.
As recommended by the pros, we are using:   Anti-Static, MBB  bags!

These are simply the best in shipping.  They are tear, rip, puncture resistant.  They are designed for shipping metal parts and sharp things.  They are mirrored so you can't see inside!

They have six layers of material including metal foil.  Nothing penetrates it.  Its been tested and passed certification at the industrial levels.   This isn't imported China knock off plastic either. . .  the real deal from 3M in America.

I hope this builds confidence.
Packages can be opened up and inspected and they will pass.

Have a nice day!

We gave out 12 free samples with expressost shipping and sold 9 or so samples.

Not a single person has come to the forums?  Many have said they don't use the forums. 
Any ideas anyone?

I'm sending more free samples to a Canadian reviewer, but it would be nice to see some natural people coming to post.   I guess I have to step up the game a bit.

This Thread is Also Our Business Journal:

I just want to stay transparent and open as possible about every move we make.  We will post here each move we make, so its on record for anyone to come and read later. 

May 2, 2012

- Site has been down off and on for two weeks.
- 9 orders have gone out so far, and 5 are in transit.
- 3 new orders are in processing until Monday delivery
- Asked many people to post, but none did
- Got good feedback though
- Trying not to spam the forums
- Got bad karma even though I never made a single negative post yet.  Do a search and you'll see.  (Competing vendors?)
- Started the business journal in the thread, so people can follow each step we make if they want to see
- Created listings on other sites to help with marketing and promotion

------------------------------

May 3, 2013

- Site is still down, people can't finalize orders.  No money in.
- Spent $960, on vendor fees and samples to date
- hoping next week will be a good week
- Upgraded all orders to express post for free to try and impress people
- hoping sales pick up

------------------------------
Thanks.

Communication 5/5 <--> I must say it has been great dealing with Northstar's.I ordered a sample of Kushberry(at a reduced price)Northstars answered all my questions promptly and was even available during the SR downtime!!

Shipping/Stealth 5/5 <--> My package was mailed standard mail.It took about 5 days which is normal for domestic standard mail.I will  not go into detail but the stealth is very clever and uses high quality materials.Northstars was also in contact the whole time to answer any questions during the shipment period.

Product 5/5 <-->  The Kushberry i received was very nice.It was over weight as well.It has a very smooth taste going down and a very pungent/strong odor and nice trachomes.It is a very nice buzz that lasted me about2-4 hour's.

Overall 5/5 <--> I have a very good feeling about Northstars.This whole order left me very satisfied and if he keeps up these standards of quality/shipping/communication he will be one of the top rated vendore for some nice quality herb....Keep it up Northstars and i hope this helped anyone deciding  on whether to order anything from Northstars in the future!

Alright!  We are open for business finally.
We waited on the current crop to finish up and dry before making all our listings.  Everything is dried well and packed. 

Crop report:
This crop's leaves didn't turn blue, but they were much heavier with resin for some reason.   Every plant sagged waaay over under the weight of the buds.  The yield was fantastic.  The top colas were cripsy-hard from layers of resin and completely coated like icing sugar.  We used Organic Iguana Juice™ for the main feeding supplement, plus B1, B52, CarbLoad, and Molasses.  100% organic hydro in dirt.

Prices and sales:
We have all weights available including grams.  Reasonable prices for this quality:  $67./ 1/4 oz   $220. / oz 
All previous buyers get 30% off plus a free gram or two added to their order.

Free shipping for all orders over $200. for the next two weeks.

Concentrates:
Really pure honey oil coming soon.   Its usually called 'shatter' since its very hard and brittle.  Bright yellow color.   Watch for the listings.  It'll be affordable.

Any questions, just msg us.  We also do deals, just ask.
