Seed Banks - Who can we trust?

Check out Great Lake Genetics or JBC Seeds. Haven’t been on either in a bit, but they both tend to keep an array of Bodhi packs.

Hi guys… I’m from europe. I ordered from seedbay and seeds got seized at customs during brexit and covid. I got very suspicious looks that day :mask:
I made another order in june from pev grow : I sprouted 3 but only 2 made it. I have another 2
I had a OG kush freebie that cracked it’s tail but never really made it past that stage, and some kind of lemon haze auto that didn’t even crack.
I have lots of bagseed from schwag that germs in 24 hours with no special care in paper towels, and they thrive in the potting mix.
Can you recommend something more reliable?
Nirvana shop looks cheap and safe because it’s not from the uk, but reviews say that they too have bad germ rates
Any banks that ship within EU that you know of?

I am going to check out the others you have mentioned because I agree with a couple I know… I ordered from Kwik and Seedsman. Kwik Seeds easy-breezy did every thing they should have. Grow like it has done it a thousand times. Seedsman on the other hand. 1 Colombian jack wouldn’t sprout. I Gorilla Cookies or something I forgot, no sprout. 1 cindy99x blueberry grew a bit was too sad to keep as part of my plant count. 4 blueberry’s struggling, alive but sensitive shits. I am considering getting the kwik seeds Cindy99 reg, bliss, 1990 Master Kush all reg put it in a room and what happens happens and that is what I will grow for the foreseeable future. lol

Thanks for your support. We definitely try to get things out ASAP. I am a fellow Growmies as well. I used to hate waiting and not getting answers. So I try to make sure we answer everyone ASAP and get your out quick. Just wait. We are dropping the full Ethos line and Gas Reaper Genetics this week. Peace

Depending on your exact location in Europe, I HIGHLY recommend a fellow Oger, American residing in Spain, Breeder of THE highest Order, @SamwellBB. You can see his gear at SoaknBeans.com (look for BAKED BEANZ), you can also contact him directly via PM. You WILL NOT be disappointed!! SS/BW…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :heart_eyes:

Anything that really ships to this part with no scanning (like UK)… courier , no mail

My review of Pacific Seed Bank

Ordered 3-seed packs of the following:

White Widow (fem)
Sour Diesel (fem)
Purple Kush (fem)
Alaskan Thunderfuck (fem)
Jack Herer  (fem / auto)

Planted mid-may.

Here’s where we stand today, 55 days after germination under 18/6 lighting

White Widow - 1 turned out to be an auto, two appear to be photos (moved outside)
Sour Diesel (fem) - all 3 seeds were autos
Purple Kush (fem) - all 3 seeds were autos
Alaskan Thunderfuck (fem) - 1 failed to germinate, 1 turned out to be an auto, 1 appears to be a photo
Jack Herer (fem / auto) - All three appear to be autos (the ONLY correct group in the bunch).

I contacted them about it, as I want photos for cloning, and they said “Send us some pics”. Like I couldn’t send pics of just “any” bud? Don’t have high hopes on anything being rectfied, think my request will just be ignored.

So… in summary, they shipped, within 2 weeks, but its a grab-bag of seeds. Their C/S skills are just generic responses, likely cut-n-paste, and I doubt they will fix their error. I ordered 3 autos and 12 photos, and I got 3 photos, 11 autos and a dud. I learned and got burned, do yourself a favor and steer clear if you want to know what you are getting. Granted some of the buds DO look ok, but being an auto doesn’t help me… And now I don’t trust what they are, because clearly they couldn’t get the auto / photo part correct, can I trust strain? NOPE…

This should have tipped me off. Same packaging, same sticker material, just different logos.

VERY different from an order that came from seedsman that you know actually deals with multiple breeders.

@Nagel420 Thats the same friggin packaging they sent my Lambs Bread in! Those mother suckers

just going to say I ordered from Attitude uk like a year ago, no breeder packs as i wanted guaranteed shipping and they told me no to breeder packs. So anyways I sent some of those seeds to a friend in Michigan, sent him 4, they were supposed to be Bubblegum fem seeds, all 4 were male!

These two banks are all that anyone looking for a reputable seedbank needs to know about. Both top notch with a ton of variety.

@Qtip Hey dude! So far I have 4 females out of 6 on the 9LB as well!!(hope it stays like that). 3 are very similar, wider blades, besides 1 being a little taller(Topped em) the 3 look identical, so far in veg they look like the Gooberry Dominant 9LB…The odd man out, is the same exact same height as the other 2 but has very long skinny bladed leaves and has an overall “Sativa” kind of look and has long, almost perfectly symmetrical lateral branching. Could this be the Jesus OG coming through? Or perhaps the afgooey that is in its parentage or is this another phenotype of the 9LB maybe? I understand even w/stable crosses and the BEST SCENARIO only 50% of seeds will be of the desired hybrid cross…25% Mom 25% Dad. About a week away from the 630W CMH 12/12 and I’ll be able to really tell. May even 18/6 for a week or so under the cmh will do em good.

My two keepers are definitely on the gooberry side, never saw any narrow leaf pheno. Might be something really special? :grinning::ok_hand:

Interesting note on Pacific Seed Bank…

I was in my online banking this morning and I see this:

“One or more recipients have been unregistered with Zelle®”

“PSB
psb2zelle@gmail.com
Unregistered”

Yeah, I thought it was a scam before, now I know it was…

STAY CLEAR OF PACIFIC SEEDBANK

Neither of mine have that look, seems like big internodal distances on it.
