Advice needed on Breeder and/or seed selection, asap

Hello Overgrow.

I want to get some seeds asap. I’m in Canada. I’d like some advice on what breeders are at the top of the industry, as far as knowing what they’re doing with breeding techniques, and taking the required time and effort to produce stable genetics. I’m not too familiar with all the terms, and it’s been a while. I mean, essentially, that if one buys a 5 pack of seeds, they won’t get 5 different phenotypes, and they’ll be very likely to get the pheno(s) and characteristics that the breeders intended, and that are described in the information for that variety/strain.

I’d be a bonus if someone who knows could also suggest something from a seedbank in Canada (hemp depot, gta seeds, etc.) as that’d be the easiest - especially h-depot.

Thank you for your input, in advance.

Edit: Also, some things I like are kushes (like the old purple kush, or “tuna kush” if you’re familiar with that kush that came out of BC, canada a long time ago), and maybe a haze hybrid - something that slaps a grin on your face - like a jack herer or jack herer cross. Anyone try moby dick, or purple moby dick, by Dinafem?

JOTI as some mentioned is up here. If I were to go to a seedbank in Canada I would order from @CoastalMarySeeds , they are a sponsor here and provide great service. https://coastalmary.com/ . There is also a fairly new Discord server up called the Canadian Seed Testing Alliance. They are completely Canadian and have a number of Canadian breeders on board who offer up testers of their work for free. You just need to run them and post updates.

NOT being flippant by any means, look for the Canadian-related Threads. You have GREAT fellow Canadian Breeders throughout the “OGniverse”. Take the anxiety and worry out of your experience, shop “closer to home”. Good Luck, stay safe, take care, and be well…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Honestly I’d send Gord (MJ) a message at Far West Genetics (Peak Seeds!) and get some clones or seeds from him. He’s now a licensed nursery and has solid genetics that he’s worked for years. I think you should try his kush :wink:

“Shits seeds”?

Just had a quick glance at the coastalmary link you posted. So that’s a seedbank, and your link was to the specific breeder “coastal mary”? Cool. I’ve not heard of this site. Thanks. I’ve never used discord before.

Good advice, thanks. I’ll search that tomorrow (Canadian breeders) on overgrow, and see what comes up.

Cool. I don’t know who Gord is. I’ll look for FWG / Peak Seeds when I get a chance (here, and generally on internet). Thanks.

I… don’t know how to answer that. Haha. I didn’t know that was/is an option or anything about that.

Can I ask you guys what you all think of Dinafem? Been looking at some of their stuff. Some on promotion now, that’s the main reason I ask.

It’s a seedbank that also has their own lines of seeds. So you will see a bunch of their stuff and if you scroll down you will other breeders who’s seeds they sell.

As for Discord, it’s a pretty simple chat interface. There is an OG Discord as well. They have a bunch of Canadian breeders looking for other Canadians to grow their seeds and post journals. Just something to think about. I can send you an invite if you are interested.

Oh you know since we were talking seeds it didn’t dawn on me but don’t forget my brother @Neb who has some real fire clones and is here in Canada. Firecutz - Canadian Clone Consulting That is an option as well.

I also agree with folks on @ShitSeeds , there are some on here now growing his seeds and getting amazing results. @BigMike55 can show you some pics :slight_smile:

Honestly I have not tried the smoke from Buddahs Cane from @ShitSeeds he is around here on OG. I have three BC going right now. Go check out my thread BigMike55 and MarsHydro Go Crazy.
The plants are incredible. The buds are spectacular. What else can I say. Highly recommend. He is also good at freebies if you buy seeds.

Ok, cool. I’ll keep that in mind.

Nice! And that’s cool you have a good stash.
Plant count is a politicians 60 (that’s 59).

Thanks. Fatcat must be a breeder (not seedbank)? I searched fatcat labs and see a bunch of different seedbanks come up in the results.
Is doctors choice USA based?

Neb pm’d me. I’m gonna check out the site now. Clones would be a good idea, I think. I’ve never gotten clones or plants from anyone (didn’t wanna risk anything, haha).
Shit seeds, haha. Funny name, I just looked and they have pepper plant seeds. I’ve been wanting to grow some hot peppers badly! Pablano, for sure.
