Seed Banks - Who can we trust?

Had a good experience with Oregon elite seeds. Also gotta give a shout out to ol’ blue on strainly. If you see him post anything that interestes ya. Don’t hesitate to send him a message. Sent him 80$ for 12 Mac x alien apple warp. Sent me 40 Mac x aaw, 40 sour Larry pebbles x aaw, 12 dla5 x aaw (fattest seeds I’ve seen), 12 tripple chocolate chip x aaw, 10 uncle Fester’s glue. Not gonna lie feel bad, woulda sent more $ if I’d known.

I had an great experience from


And
https://truenorthseedbank.com.

Seeds came quickly and germinated 100% so far.

Cropking does have a guarantee on germ rates as long as you follow their instructions. I did and documented it all, but they all sprouted in 24 hours.

Note- I started reading this thread in long form then went back and used the summary. some replies may be out of order since I cut and pasted about a 120 replies in.

All this is great stuff. There is a seedbank in Michigan I see no mention of has a web site seedcellar.com. AFAIK they only ship to registered MMMP cardholders in Michigan though.

I feel like this is spot on. If there is money in the market the quality will be diluted by scammers and copycats. Both taking away income from the guys doing the real work. Tons of people selling seeds lately lots of questionable genetics/rip-offs.

Sebring has a long thread about RQS and th CBD strain he was running from them. The beans were duds. sebrings-perpetual-no-till-living-organics

Hmmm…got a way to back up that statement? That pretty much says the THC tests are unnecessary. I think the media underrated however I feel like this is exaggerated.

I’m with this guy. And a ride in a hot air balloon.

:triumph:

OTOH I don’t know why I’m even in here any more…got plenty to do…so unless somebody has one of my favs for trading …I’ll just lurk and pounce and cry if I lose to ‘lefty’

So after all the messing around with RQS I finally got my order. No extras apart from the stickers they sent with a seed catalogue… such an apology for my wait. Then the pack tells me information on what a 5 seed mix pack come with inside even though I ordered a 3 pack so confused on which seeds I’ve actually received.

I’m sure there are successful orders that they do but purely because this is my first time with Royal Queen Seeds and I’ve just instantly had a bad experience with them I won’t use them again so I will either just return to trusty old Sensi Seeds or try somewhere else.

Give one of our sponsors a try @Explorer. @skunk24.com. I’ve bought a good few times from them in the past year and other than a slight communication hitch every transaction has been flawless. They are based in Poland but don’t let that put you off. Ive got each order in around a week from payment. Longest I waited was 10 days. They are cheap as chips compared to most UK based seed banks. :+1:

I’ve always had great expieriances with Hazeman and seedsman but they both require payment by money order before seeds are shipped. I just got another order from Hazeman with no issues and a free 12 pack of beans with every order.

We take PayPal and several other forms of payment. We ship in USA priority mail and guarantee delivery.

We deliver and have deals for bulk or wholesale and of course retail and often have bargain deals on three packs and get a free pack. Our prices are reasonable and our rep is important to us.

Bulk for as little as three bucks a seed on many strains…

Important question is, do the seeds end up being “as advertised” in the end. Seeds be seeds. As long as they are viable, they’re going to give you a plant. Given that the internet is what it is, and people are what people are, I’m not so sure I trust too many vendors out there.

Back in '03 I bought Niagara from Dr. Greenthumb. It was a legit strain that I mothered for the better part of 10 years before I had to get out. Still have some pollen (viability tbd), but the beans I froze are long gone, lost in a basement flood. Dropped them a line a while back to see if the strain was still virgin (sure it was!) and available but never got an answer.

Question @ATM. Am I safe to assume you’re growing autos? I’m looking at a strain at CropKing (auto), to get my fancy new grow room producing something quick (while I get a mother ready), but I’m nervous as hell about laying down the cash for what could end up being bag weed. How was your experience with CK beans?

I figure I can knock off two, maybe 3 auto grows while I do what I need to get a crop of clones off.

I am about 44 days into flower. I am growing feminized but not autos.

I lost 2 plants so I am only getting one pheno. It was very vigorous in veg.

I am also growing a sweet seed strain I got from here

It is more sativa dom.

I was also nervous about committing to one seed bank so I grew two strains. Problem was the indica did not stretch hardly at all while the sativa stretched massively so light height is not ideal and finishing at the same time might be a problem.

I at least have one pheno that is a keeper for sure super resinous.

In the future I think I might try something from subcool and maybe ocean grown seeds. They seem to be on the forefront of breeding and genetic selection.

AMT - I’m envious! You must like variety. I feel your pain growing indica and sativa simultaneously in the same space. It can prove challenging, although it looks like you’re managing.

Enjoy your bounty!

Naw, I’m up here in Canuckistan. I’ve got some beans from some auto’s that got pollinated last year. They’re a bit of an unknown though. Obviously something went awry. About all I can think of is that they could have hermied due to stress caused by a LED street lamp nearby, but I can’t really say for sure. My bad for assuming they were fem and not keeping a close eye on them, figuring I could just leave them to do their own thing in a garden I’d prepared out back of the house. Could be the weed I prefer, or just me being lazy but I do like soil growing in the outdoors. One of 10 I grew ended up being 4’ tall, 4’ wide. Pretty obvious it wasn’t auto. We’ve moved since then and now have a high school right behind us, so a backyard grow this year isn’t gonna happen.

I’m one of the once bitten, twice shy types. All things considered, I’m not so sure I want to chance what may come of all of the beans I collected. Lord knows what they’ll do. My luck, they’d all be male.

I just heard back from the Dr. Niagara is gone unless someone here knows where it can be found. My heart is broken.
