Seed Banks - Who can we trust?

Hey, has anyone ordered from GelatoSeeds.com?
They have a lot of classic may want strains not always readily available. They do not ship to my country ( Can) but still…
Cat Piss Strain - Pungent Energy-Boosting Sativa Hybrid.

I used Nirvana back in the early 2000’s. They were like everywhere on the site and a sponsor IIRC. Iused them to buy my current grow. I purchased the seeds a few months ago from Nirvana.

They have a location in the US now, so they no longer need the stealth and is a lot closer than the Netherlands. They were super professional, easy to deal with, and on. They were just as good to deal with as they were back in the 2000’s.

Hey all, hoping that somebody could comment on >>>

They seem to have a bunch of cannabiogen stuff, but i’m skeptical as there is almost zero trace of that remaining on the retail seedbank market.

I have seen a few CBG packs here and there still. It’s plausible that they just haven’t moved some of their old stock. I would try to contact them and see if they can tell you what’s really in stock and maybe send you pics.

From personal experience, I can tell you the PCK and Peyote Purple packs I got last year from THGrow are legit (link is for fems but they have a few regs too). They still seem to have some in stock, tempted to go for the Destroyer fems. If you need help hunting, let me know what you’re looking for, always down for a safari :face_with_monocle:

@mufafa Thanks for the response, really appreciate your feedback! I checked the link you provided and they do appear to have a few of CBG’s stuff but none of the lines that I’m seeking.

No response yet, tried to reach out to them already but will haveto give them some time to respond.

Here’s the one that I’ve got my eye on:

I’m wary of potential shell sites…

Here’s another one that I found, the thread on pevgrow here seemed to have got hijacked by people shilling for other banks so unsure as to whether it’s legit either:

I’m specifically looking for Meao Thai, Suda Africa and Ghana from cannabiogen.

So here’s what I was able to find, unfortunately could only find stock left in spanish shops so shipping may be a hurdle for you:

  • Meao Thai: Can’t find anything around this as seed, all signs point to the Meao Thai being the pollen donor for a ton of ACE/CBG crosses, so your best bet are ACE’s Thais or something like Destroyer which still has packs floating around.

  • South Africa: found 3 neighborhood growshops that say they have stock (Ghana as well): new world, low cost, satiguanna. I don’t personally recall but I would bet their SA release was not in their active catalog before they shut down which explains the harder to find stock.

  • Ghana: much more common, but really the most reputable source I came across is PEVGrow, it’s by far the most known one out of the rest I found with Ghana stock: tucultivo, bosque verde, mundoenteogeno, naturaleza, growshopstore.

If you are gonna order from any of these smaller shops, I would definitely contact them first to confirm stock and if they can ship to you. I wouldn’t necessarily think any of these sites are scams, just need to do a bit of due diligence like checking out if their financial info exists in public registries. You can find their CIF number or official company name under their legal or privacy info in most cases to google with. If you can’t find it easily or they don’t want to provide it when you contact them, don’t bother with those.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Chitown seeds is legit. Have used before. They have a really good selection and good shipping (about 7 days). The guy is a stand up dude and posts on various weed forums. He says he’s all about good genetics and you can tell by the various good breeders he has on there.

Looking for CBG??? Try hokuseedco.com I’ve gotten plenty of quality seeds from them. Hope you find all you seek!! SS/BW…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thanks @misterbee ! Doesn’t appear to be conventional or see any info about seeds, do you advise to reach out to their “accomodations directory” ? I see a contact of biz@hoku.com and a contact number listed.

I apologize if this is redundant… just to confirm - by CBG do you mean cannabiogen or CBG as in cannabigerol ?

I would, they have ALWAYS been receptive to my inquiries. Also, INCORRECT INFO!! - should have been hokuseedco.com So sorry, blame it on my “excess age”. SS/BW…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Sounds exactly like me reversing a cut on all my other cuts for testing, but without the testing and I don’t run a seedbank…

Thank you so much for this! The Meao Thai and Ghana are two varieties that I’d love to find pure. I feel fortunate to have a couple packs of Destroyer, but would love to find some of the older hybrids they made with the Meao Thai genes too. I believe there may have even been a pure line made but never retailed, just shared? I could be mistaken about that last part though.

The sites you mention with stock available, can you speak to their authenticity by chance?

I typically prefer to order through verified retailers when not able to order direct. Ace does have an extensive list of authorized retailers so maybe some of the shops your listed are on there? Understandably ACE and CBG aren’t the same company though there are some common threads. Hoping so! Appreciate you for sharing this info. Much love

Clearwater tried following me on IG and to me he really seems like a scammer

Openly selling herb and shit on his stories then like even posting the people’s cash app transactions

If he’s not a scammer he’s just an idiot
Didn’t let him follow me

I used to run a private forum/Seedbank

considering doing it again
The bank part not the forum that was really fun but almost made me lose my passion for the forums
Turned something I loved into a job

I might as well with all the top notch breeders I know
Only id only carry stuff you can’t get anywhere else

not an immediate solution to good seed banks but

idk always open to the possibility
if anyone’s ever looking for beans hit me up I can prolly point ya in the right direction haha

any account ran like that is obviously a scam account, typically going to get you to telegram transaction to sell whatever.

its no secret the amount of fake accounts running on IG trying to make a buck off known breeders names and companies
