Any info on this new vendor? They have 3 positive reviews that may or may not be legit. I searched the forums for their username and nothing came up.

Any info would be helpful to us all if anyone has any yet.

Hello 3rdEye,
Thank you for looking into my products.. I apologize that I did not see your posts sooner so that I could respond. Please allow me to address your concerns.
1: "Any info on this new vendor? " No because I am a new vender here on the road, however I am not new to this business and anyone who who tries my products is aware that this is not my first rodeo.
2: "They have 3 positive reviews that may or may not be legit" They are legit however I have no way to satisfy that question with proof so take it or leave it.. I wish I could offer something more substantial in that area.
3: "I searched the forums for their username and nothing came up" I just made this username in this forum to address your issues. I have however submitted some samples to a reviewer here in these forums who should be receiving the items in the next day or so and then I will post links to those reviews form a 3rd party for you.
Finally, please look at what it costs to be a vender on SR compared to the price range of products I have listed the math does not add up to be a scammer at this low of a price point, especially with allowing all deals to be through escrow. Please write me in the future if you have any questions. I am very responsive and do everything in my power to have happy customers.
Thank you.

Hello and welcome! I do apologize if I seemed rude at all, that is not my intention whatsoever. It is natural to be skeptical with this kind of business, of that I'm sure you will agree. I searched your username hoping that somebody that gave you positive feedback on SR would also write a review here in the forums. I always use the forums first because this is where you find the real information behind the vendors. Asking these questions through SR directly to a vendor with little history and potentially being a scammer would be pointless, no? I'm not saying that you are a scammer at all, but you see why I came to the forums first I hope. I'll be looking forward to reading the reviews on the samples. Simply replying to my concerns gives me greater confidence that you are, in fact, a legitimate vendor and I really do appreciate your effort.
I noticed that you changed the pictures on your listing and now they are, indeed, different and representative of their respective strains. Must have been a simple mistake that anyone could have made. For that, I retract my earlier statement. Also, I probably shouldn't have passed judgement about "not knowing how to use a computer" etc. You are right that it was not flattering for either of us. I apologize.
Last I checked it costs $200+ just to get a vendor account, no to mention shipping supplies, stamps etc. Still, people do still scam on the SR which is why we have these forums to better protect buyers and sellers alike. I meant no disrespect but I have a healthy dose of skepticism on this site as I believe everyone should. Your reply here in the forums will go a long way to obtaining more customers if that is your ultimate goal. I wish you the best of luck and will most likely place an order if you will allow it after some reviews come in on the forums for your samples. Thanks again!

I talked a little with this vendor and he seems legit and is in fact very helpful and responsive. Also, you're both kind of right. For the 3.5g quantities the SSH photo and BDH photo are the same however for the 14 listings there is a different picture. It's not a big deal. As long term grower I can verify his pictures are the right strain, that is BDH and that sure as hell is the indica pheno of SSH, no question. I am waiting for more feedback, but so far so good for me, just going to intuition and inquiries. This is a vendor to keep your eye on, as the products look excellent.

Yes, the pics for the 3.5g quantities were the same but seem to be fixed now. It's just something I noticed and not that big of a deal since the pic for the 14g quantities was different. It's something I had to point out while requesting information on this vendor so people, including myself, could see exactly what they are ordering. No biggie. Seems RedHempfield is a good vendor and I can't wait to order if they will allow me to after this civil exchange lol!

im on to those strains he gots too ! damn,,,, that SSH and other HAZE look proper

No hard feelings at all.
IN fact I totally understand where you are coming form on the skeptical aspect. A friend of mine recently made a over a $1k purchase form a very reputable vender (300+ deals) of 25-Nbome-2ci tabs. That vender was offering bonuses to people who FE'd early and once he had a substantial amount of BTC from people FE'ing early he disappeared.. Maybe he got busted, maybe he planned to burn people all along.. impossible to say. Since i do not have a long history here I decided to hold a small portion of the total amount to test the waters here. I decided to keep the price points low so that people would be more comfortable working with a new vender. This is why nothing I have listed totals to more than what i costs me to be a vender on the road. I could certainly fill much larger orders than what are listed but I wouldn't want people stressing on me having no rep .. because I know I would be. I do actually have several other usernames on this forum as a buyer and I go through the same process of researching a vender before I pull the trigger on anything. Especially something substantial. Unfortunately this is not always a fail safe but it does help mitigate losses.
I have been procrastinating on getting onto the forum here and introducing myself and my products, so I guess i kinda had this coming :) I will hopefully have some time in the next couple days to introduce myself in proper fashion.
Thank you both.

Wow, that's not cool at all. Just goes to show that anyone can be a scammer. Personally, I never FE for any reason whatsoever (discounts, free product, what have you). I FE once on my first purchase only because I was new to gain better stats (thankfully that order came through with no problems), but now I will not agree to FE ever. Most likely, that dude was out to scam people, but only he knows. You are smart to keep what you listed below the price of becoming a vendor. That is just an extra precaution that you did not have to take in order to seem legitimate, which I believe you are after today's conversation. Lol, I guess I forced you to come on to the forums with your vendor name but it will be good for your future on SR. I can't wait for the reviews to come in, your product looks absolutely delicious!!

Ahh, I forgot to mention your prices are way more than reasonable given the quality in the pics. I'm drooling all over my keyboard and now I'm not so sure I can wait for the reviews to come in. I want your weed in my lungs NOW! :)

Let me start you with a review then, 3rdEye. I got from RedHempfield his two different strains and I can absolutely tell you that this is the best weed I have gotten from SR, ever. The only thing close was the weed I got from Kara, that was so sticky it was like handling super-glue or something. But yet, the stuff from RedHempfield is much MUCH better. He knows his art, and his art is cannabis.
Communication was great from the moment I sent him a PM, we talked and I offered advice about getting onto the forums to get himself known and appreciated and, by my request, he offered me a sample, which I jumped on like a greedy little bastard. And I am so amazing glad I did, because this is some fucking amazing weed. Or so the cerebral high tells me, at least.
His shipping time was just great, arriving on Thursday even though there was a holiday in the middle of the week. As for the packaging... I got a couple scary packages in the mail this weak that looked very suspicious, but Red's was just fine, even better than fine actually. I've never gotten such a normal looking package on the road before, and he still had no trouble putting it in a vac-sealed bag.
It is very dry, however. One of the samples he sent turned to dust almost into dust during the shipping process, or at least that's what I thought... but in reality, that bud was stupidly covered in trichomes. I couldn't handle it delicately enough and it would get over my fingers and clothing with ease. After storing it in a little glass jar for a while I noticed a lot of trichomes sticking to the walls and I decide to wipe them off with my finger. When I was done, I looked at the most wonderful tan kief in the world. A few speckles of green and a surprising amount of tan.
I plan to take advantage of that for the sole purpose of making a little bit of hand-rolled hash. It will go great with the already-great other strain. That one held together much better, so I get to enjoy perfect little bud-shape of it. This one is also a bit dry, but no so much that it actually crumbles in your hand. A grinder would still be a good idea, a great idea is one that can catch the trichomes.
The Blue Dream Haze smells strongly of lemons whereas the Super Silver Haze smells strongly of regular cannabis. Keeping them on my desk for half an hour allowed the smell to leak from their little bags and permeate the room much faster than I would have expected.
I going to abuse this weed so much, just so I can get as much of the fantastic hand-rolled hash as I can make from it. And it will be absolutely worth it, because it is so strong. I haven't felt like it was very sticky however, but as dry as it is, that could be understandable. He might need to not dry his stuff so much, but honestly? A gram is a gram, but if it isn't very dry, it isn't as high a ratio of thc compared to the weight. The drier it is, the greater the ratio. It's like saving 15% on your car insurance by switching to geico, you know?
Smoking it is a bit tricky because it burns a bit hot, even when I'm being very careful. On the other hand, that lets me use MUCH less flame then I've been having to use with others, and I feel that just gets so much more of the wonderful thc into my lungs. I haven't yet tried to vape either samples, but I'm planning to do that later tonight, so I'll probably check in and let you know how it goes.
Here's my bottom line; I absolutely think you should buy RedHempfield's weed. I also think you should get more bitcoins then wait to see what he brings to the market next... he's told what it is, but I don't know if I should spoil the surprise. But from what he's told me, I honestly believe I can swear that it is the highest quality concentrate you will likely ever see.

BLARGHRAWR'S REVIEW
Excellent review, and just about what I expected. SR seems to be getting better with age, I guess that's the free market for you! Another new and great organic vendor is FarmerBob. I also just happened to write a review on his NYC-D over in his thread. From the sound of it, if you like RedHempfield's weed then you will definitely like FarmerBob's as well. I think you convinced me to do business with RH, not that I needed much convincing lol. Thanks man

I ordered the 1/4 Super Silver. Delivered to midwest on third day. Excellent looking nugs. +1 for the new vendor. Definitely a fan.
