Like its 2016, theres no shortage of credit card providers and it dosent take long to set up. I feel the full story has yet to break and im wondering if herbies will ever re-open.

What we need is someone local to walk into their head office with a gun and dont let any hostages leave until we have a proper answer!!
Indeed, many more seed banks are opening and margins getting smaller with each new pheno emerging

perhaps he's made his killing and time to bail ...?

I hope not

besides theirs money in them seeds unlike his tattoos and things ..lol

I believe that they may believe that they are doing the best that they can however, my experiance is an individual phenomenon and may not reflect the true nature of their business. They should have been very transparent from the start but they were not. It is not ideal for a business to behave in such a manner espescially if they have a large client base but... Admitting problems is admitting weakness and vulnerability wich in turn starts to INSTANTLY affect the payroll and business vitality. They would have gotten a far better reaction explaining the details instead of leaving a vague open ended continum of questions and rumors wich in fact are more damaging.

Have anybody heard any good news about Robert Bergman ilovegrowingmarijuana.com ??? Is he legit or no??
I recently placed an order with them. Didn't get my seeds within the 21 days they ask you to wait. Emailed them about it and they immediately sent out more, which I did get in about a week. Excellent germ rate too. Not a very wide selection that they offer though, but for what they do have their prices aren't bad.

I'm inclined to start dealing with US seedbanks now though. It makes me very uncomfortable having my mail inspected by Homeland Security. I'd appreciate some recommendations on who I could use.

Yeah pretty crazy, hopefully not a long term win for Big Brother.

Try True North Seeds out of Canada. Nice selection and single seeds from many great breeders.

here are a bunch of seed banks state side I have ordered from in the past couple-O-years.

And honestly I now get all my seeds by using Instagram. Vendors offer loads of promos on Instagram. Matter of fact "In House Genetics" has a bad ass deal going on starting today. I ordered a few packs myself. You can see the promo here @poweredbydiesel420

for overseas I'm a fan of Breeders Boutique (growing some deep blue x sour cherry as we speak), attitude, seedsman, midweeksong, urbangreenbirmingham.co.uk is another fave.

@Arkitecht did you get you're seeds rather faster than Herbie??? mines 7-10 days after despatch
Do they have a good germinate ratio?? Thanks for the list of seedbacks my last one is (since I don't have a Instagram) which site is the best to you as far as cheap prices and shipping

Well in my opinion every seed hook up has its pros and cons. And everyone is going to give you a different answer. I've used all of the ones I mentioned. Usually orders I place state side get here to me in under a week once payment is received. It just depends on what promos seed banks offer and what strains I'm looking for. My latest purchase is from in house genetics, one before that was oggseeds, and before that great lakes genetics. I recommend just look through a bunch of them. I guarantee one if not most will have some sort of "black Friday" sale.

If seeds are illegal in your parts then id expect the odd order to go missing, if not most seed producers ship worldwide with guarenteed delivery and no quibble over lost orders.

Seedbanks are merely middlemen in this game, you can order direct if you want to and get a signed for delivery as proof.

It is shocking how few seedbank sites sites use https, I would highly recommend using them, and encrypted email, for a boatload of data security reasons. Now that the impending USAG is that racist piece of shit Jeff Sessions, even the more so. I won't do business with any of the seedbanks that aren't encrypted starting today. In fact, I might leave RIU for this exact reason. It is not hard to set up a security certificate, and they can be had for free via letsencrypt.org, so there really is no longer an excuse not to encrypt ALL websites.

Midweek cc ain't working either....




The 20% off code was good to me:-(
Welldone new guy, they say there credit card debit card no longer works for orders. This seems to correlate with Herbies closing so the plot thickens and we have a culprit, credit card providers.

This still better not come from some legal ruling imposed on said credit card providers to infringe on my freedom.

Keep on the case..
