Now that Iāve collected all the seeds Iāll need until Iām old and gray, hereās my very brief overview of the seed banks I ordered from:
SeedsHereNow: eXtreme website (kinda slow for me, though), good selection, took a week to put the order together but still got to US east coast 9 days from ordering. Each seedpack had a SHN card stapled on to it, and they included a brochure to tell me about how theyāre the TOP CHOICE FOR ELITE GENETICS or something fun like that. Freebie was some candy intended for human consumption.
Seedsman: huge selection, good service, easy online ordering, some sort of Loyalty Points rewards system that probably only benefits people buying auto strains. Took 10 days to show up to US east coast after ordering. Includes freebie seeds, letting you pick between āregularā, āfeminizedā, and āautoā, telling you what they are in advance so you can maybe get something you want!
James Bean Company: smallest selection, but they have some good breeders like DJ Short, TGA, and maybe a dozen others. Online ordering involves sending then an email to reserve stock and get payment instructions. Shipping is double-take fast: first order showed up in 3 days, second order showed up in 2 days. Oh yeah, also included good freebies that Iām pretty excited to try.
James Bean will be my first choice for any future seed ordering, but the other two were both entirely satisfactory. Much better than the olden days of waiting two months for a package from NL
