Which seedbanks/breeders are actually reliable?

amsterdamganjafarmer's posts has been nothing but trying to get people to order from the ripoff site

i noticed sometimes that happens with people just trying to make a buck. i would say attitude just because i've tried the major ones like hempdept and nirvana and sannies. i've been happiest with attitude's ship times and they're legit, they pick up their phones and answer their emails. if they dont answer someone back it usually means that person talked about growing which is a dealbreaker. amazing selection though and across all different price levels.

i can vouch for gypsy nirvana, you'll recieve your product FAST.

BUT their customer service sucks a fat one, i've been trying to get replacements for my bad PPP seeds, i've sent more then 5 emails and i've only gotten one response, and i've been trying for 1 year and 2 months. dont expect any help from their customer service

I ordered from VISC , Vancouver Seed CO, over 3 weeks ago, paid cash & an extra $15 for rush shipment. Nothing has arrived and they don't answer my emails. Their site says orders to USA should take 2-3 weeks.

Attitude shipped faster than that from the UK.

BC Seedking was great. I paid by credit card (I have my state card) and I received my seeds in about exactly one week. I live in New England so it was from west coast of canada to east coast of us in 5 days...very good!

I can second this for BCSeedKing.
I ordered on the tuesday after the labor day weekend, and got my package six days later on the following monday
to the Midwestern United States.

Greetings growers this is for medical marijuana users and those who can use the information legally. Seedbank ratings are farther down and the links to growing information are near the end.

The seedbank update has now racked up over 13 continuous years of service to growers and seed buyers. Many people count on it to avoid the many many ripoffs who are out there. It would not be possible without you, the buyer who sends in your report.



It's summer in the northern hemisphere. Your outdoor plants are growing like mad. Indoor, they are doing fine but may need some air conditioning.



The post office in the USA often gets funny about delivering letters. People many times use a fake name to get orders sent to them. The trouble is that the letter carrier may not deliver it if they do not recognize the name. Before you send your order, send a letter to yourself using the name and see if it arrives. Then make your order. Ask the company first if they send to your country. If no reply, do not order.



If you have bought from a seedbank send in your report so that other people will know how good or bad it was. No seeds are sold from this site. This center is only for information. You may also send in a grow report on a variety you grew out.

This group I've heard good things about. Those with four stars or more are the most reliable. They will send to most countries. I've tried to list those that ship worldwide. Those with a relatively low rating may just be new to the ratings. It takes a while to earn a good rating. A 1/2 means they are half way to the next star.



I keep getting bad reports on bc bud depot. Non delivery or poor quality seeds if they do arrive.



Attitude 4 star 1/2 (F****1/2)
Bluenose 3 star (***) (2)
Dr. Greenthumbs 4 star (F****) (1,2,3)

The limited area seedbanks and a list of bad ones to avoid will be found farther down.


Check out the new and unrated seedbanks at the New page. These are seedbanks I've heard good things about but haven't had enough reports on to make a rating.



I don't have time to answer individual questions so I usually just tell people to do some reading. I have information on my site and links to other sites with even more info.



Would you like to see your grow report in the SU? Please include the name of the strain, where obtained, how it grew, potency and yield. Tell us the names of other strains you grew or smoked for comparison. Cultivation tips and news items are also welcome. You can get credit under any name you prefer or stay anonymous. If you like I will rewrite it for you.



To reach me write to [email protected] (remove ZZZ)



This is a report on which seedbanks are reliable and give good service. I also list some bad ones to stay away from (crooks). Reports from people who have ordered from cannabis seedbanks are welcome. That's what this is based on, reports from people like you. You can send your report to me at [email protected] (remove ZZZ) If you send a report please state what bank you ordered from, how long it took and roughly how far away you are from them. I'd like to know if the packaging was stealty (well hidden) and what method used and if any seeds were crushed. Any other info you think is important will be appreciated. Reports on how the crop turned out are good too. I don't rate companies on price, that's up to you to compare. The more stars, the more reliable. F = faster than average, no letter = average, S = slow.



I have a system of additional ratings. They are a one (1) for accepting payment by money order or certified check without charging extra for it. A two (2) will be given for free stealth shipping. A three (3) will be given for accepting credit cards. This leaves a paper trail but is quick and easy. (4) indicates that they use PGP code for privacy on request. A five (5) means Western Union is accepted. A six (6) indicates customer complaints about seed quality. An example of the new rating might be Ed's seeds (***) (1,2) which means three stars and he gives free shipping and takes money orders with no extra charge.




These seedbanks send to certain countries only.



Dr Chronic 3 star and 1/2 (F***1/2)
Pukka 2 star (**) (1)
Sensi Seed 4 star and 1/2 (****1/2)
Nirvana Shop3 star and 1/2 (***1/2)
Seeds of Passion2 star (**)


These are seed breeders and wholesalers primarily. While they have a good reputation, I don't have enough information about their mail order seed business to make a rating.



BCGA
Bros Grimm
Dutch Passion
Fantaseeds
Greenhouse
Homegrown Fantaseed
KC Brains
Serious
(and many others)



This is the rip-off section. The following seedbanks I've heard many bad things about. They are NOT recommended. aka means also known as. X means they seldom or never send the product. N means sending non viable seeds (non sprouting seeds) M indicates they send very inferior seeds or nothing at all.



A-1 Seedbank (X,N)
BC Seeds (X,M)
Beeoo (X)
Fairlight (X,N)
Greenmanspage (X,M)
marijuanaseed.us (X) Software Services aka Cannabis4u aka Medical hemp aka [email protected] [L.Pafort] (X)
Richies Seedshack (X)
Stinkey's (X)
Weedseed (X)
Pot a Gold (X)


These seedbanks are not recommended due to excessive complaints. This is a judgement call and some customers have said they were satisfied. The nature of the complaints are as follows: 10 = non delivery, 11 = very poor customer service, 12 = inferior quality or misrepresented seeds, 13 = unethical conduct by seedbank owner.

I made the order August 12, it is now Sept 15, nothing has arrived. I send 3 emails & a snailmail that were not answered.
Never again will I order from a site that only accepts cash or blank money orders.

Quick addition,
My order was complete, and all seeds look good.
15 Blueberry
15 Mango
Soaked four of each in shot glasses for 24hrs on Sept 12th
Planted them on the 13th of Sept.
Today is the 15th, all of the Mango, and three of four Buleberry have broken ground and looking good. The fourth Blueberry is pushing up soil as I type.
One of the Mango looks to have two stems each with its own leaves.
These are non feminized. 30 seeds total 110 US dollars plus five for shipping.
This was my second order with BCSeedKing, I placed my third last night.
15 BC Juicy Fruit
15 Purple Widow
I expect to have as good a report on this order as well.
I even asked in their comment section that they throw in a purps or two, we'll see.

nice Order. You might have the same thing that happened to me. I had the 2 steams and their own leafs so I opend up the shell and I found out that its actually 2 plants in 2 seed so if you can you might want to separate them.

I received the order for 15 Purple Widow and 15 Juicy Fruit.
My request for a free Purps seed or two was met with a bag containing FIVE free Purps seeds,
along with three extra of both the JF and PW.
30 seeds ordered and paid for, 41 seeds shipped.
This order took seven days to arrive.
BTW, the mango, blueberry, and purple widow I germinated, eight in total, all sprouted and all are now vegging.

Is seedbay and seedboutique the same thing? Are they both reliable ??

i don't think they're the same place.. i just placed an order with seedboutique about an hour or two ago.. probably around my 5th or so through them, and i've never had a problem with them..
i'll say they don't have the best stealth, nor is their shipping the fastest, but i do always get my beans from them.. i'm not saying they are super slow, just not one of the faster banks i've used is all.. over all i'm always happy with their service..

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Canna Collective, I got my order in a week after it was shipped (free), plus a bomb ass freebie pack.
Sannie's
Irie Vibe
and Attitude are some banks my peeps use and their pretty reliable and all send free beans with every order.

i tried to use the canna collective to order some of og raskals last drop.. i went online to pay to western union with the info that dj provided, but western union declined my money or w/e, so i pretty much gave up on them after that as i was kind of pissed off after i got denied as it took me forever and a day to get that far on the western union site, then they simply declined me afterwards... yah, i was pissed, lol..
no fault of cc's though, simply the bs i had to deal with with wu, i wish they had a few other payment options honestly over there..

Too bad about the rough time. Glad to hear you
got your order.
The BCSeedKing Mango is a wonder to see grow.
Thirteen days since they broke the soil and all four I germinated
are pushing out nine bladed leaves.
1st order took six days to arrive, 2nd order took seven days.
Shipping cost five dollars.

Yeah I thought BC Seeds was a super ripoff and they had some scam going. I recieved another order from Attitude to the west coast in 12 days, I keep waiting for them to slip up and take over 2 weeks but it hasn't happened yet.
Ordered a pack of Skunk Haze for myself from Mr. Nice and then a pack of The Doors as a joke for a close friend of mine who is the fan. Hopefully she puts them in her greenhouse, I'll offer to care for them, double the yield.
Mr. Nice seeds always take a bit on the longer side to flower but so worth it. Great bud.

The Ministry of Cannabis hosed me for $64. Either they are scam artists or never learned to mail an envelope. They said they mailed my seeds twice. To date no seeds. The order was processed 3Aug.

Has any1 ever tried these folks???
