Seed bank options?

[Kopper1013]

Hey y’all,

I really hate asking this question, mostly cause we have OUTSTANDING company’s we already deal with and treat us great, also I don’t like being that guy who asks the dreaded “what’s the best seed bank/ are these guys trustworthy questions especially when again we have good ones here..

However

I’m looking to do a medical grow for a friend who suffers from PTSD and constant muscle pain (from getting blown up) and has expressed an interest in trying something higher in CBD and I would appear none of our great sponsors deal in this realm (please correct me if I’m wrong).
I personally also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and would like to rely less on Xanax and try something more “medical” I’m currently growing Pennywise for this specific reason.
If I get to high and have to switch to manual breathing that isn’t good and I’ve been known to Ralph from it.

Specifically I’m currently looking at Critical Mango CBD and Critical Mass CBD currently. Both seem to have great reviews for these conditions while still having some “high” effects being 1 to 1 cbd to thc.

Pacific seed back carriers both and so dose growers choice. I’m willing to shop them out anywhere just wanna know I’m getting what I’m paying for.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

IDK if they'll have those strains but I can vouch for the following USA based banks...

Great Lakes Genetics
Oregon Elite Seeds
Growers Choice Seeds
Greenpoint Seeds
Irie Direct

These are based in the UK and go thru customs which can and will intercept seeds. It's happened to me on three occasions so if you do buy from these, get guaranteed delivery on your shipping so they keep sending them until you get them

Attitude Seedbank
Nirvana seeds

I cannot speak to the therapeutic effects of those strains, but I can throw my caution up there about Pacific Seed Bank.

Best I can tell, they have a big bowl of seeds on the desk of everything mixed together, and they just count out the number of seeds you ordered from the bowl and put them in a bag.

I've grown only 2 autos in my life. Both were supposedly photos and purchased from PSB. Putting auto seeds in a photo order seems like the worst kind of service to me. I'd rather they didn't germ.

FWIW, this is the only seed bank I call out by name for crap service. Even the ones that were photos did not resemble the breeder seeds I ordered. Mistakes happen. When it is the MO for your business tho - the only reason they still exist is because folks are not educated on the BS they pull.

Which I find total bullshit, the DEA recognizes seeds under hemp, which is federally legal, so why the fk are they taking my "hemp" seeds?!

Because seeds crossing borders are subject to inspection for invasive species. Not a cannabis or DEA thing

KNOWLEDGE ARTICLE
Because most countries have regulations to protect against agricultural pests and diseases as well as invasive species, you will probably need both a phytosanitary certificate and an import permit to take or send your seeds to another country. A Plant Protection and Quarantine Export Certification Specialist can assist you with the process of applying for both. To locate the specialist responsible for your region of the United States, please go to Plant Health Export Information and click the link for “Export Certification Specialists” in the middle of the page. Select your State from the dropdown menu.

Yeah I get it, it's just dumb lol. It's the same reason clones can't be shipped across the border.
Just another hoop for us to jump through.

If allbud is correct this may be a strain worth searching out...my buddy is growing this strain and I can't speak for the cut he is growing he has never had it tested. It came as a clone and the source is rather sketchy so who knows if he has a cut of this caliber or not...but when looking up shit on the strain the numbers jumped out at me. 30% thc and 11% CBD...that's the most CBD I've ever seen on something listed that high on THC

May be worth looking into for someone who likes to get stoned and may want CBD as well

It's a problem for real. I ship internationally all the time, and I even have to certify my pallets and have special stamps and monthly on site inspections so we are not shipping bugs in the wood internationally.

A perfect example of invasive seeds being a major catastrophe is Kudzu

Kudzu: The Invasive Vine that Ate the South

Kudzu looks innocent enough yet the invasive plant easily overtakes trees, abandoned homes and telephone poles.

Yeah, i know it's an issue, I'm just complaining about it lol.
I watch a lot of them border shows on TV and the dumb stuff people try to ship is incredible. Like animals hides filled with bugs
We have enough invasive stuff here already so I get why they do what they do.
It's just a bummer we gotta jump through so many hoops still lol.

Agree.
My experience with those was pre farm bill and the only legal state was California. Around 2014-15 all of it changed with Michigan, Colorado, and Oregon going legal then US based seed banks sprouting up like weeds. I haven't bought from across the pond since then.
Not only was the green tape monster something to dread but waiting 2-3 weeks and seeing a tracking number stalled out in customs was such a PITA

I shipped the fish I bred to Hawaii.
The buyer had to have a permit to receive the fish and I had to place a copy of it in the box.
Every single box of mine was opened and inspected. It was guaranteed to happen.

Seedsman has lost all credibility with me. They changed ownership, get less breeders and their website completely hacked that let all the customers information out into the jungle. It’s a shame cause back in the day no seed bank was better, not today!

 

[Garbage_bear]

I find myself using Great Lakes Genetics a lot. They have some good breeders. Bodhi packs are aplenty and cheap there!

Thanks, I’ll check them out

Take me off the raffle list.. why donate and not get the support back.. maybe yall should value who is actually here...

 

[SSHZ]

Maybe just a little over reaction there @B2ACG...........you get plenty of notoriety on here. My thread alone keeps you on the front page month after month. This thread has been dead since May 2024 and it got a few hits today, over a year later and probably before your time started here. Love your stuff either way, I was actually working on another order tonight. After the Frozen Black Cherry from my last grow, I strongly recommend checking his stuff out. When I first read this thread today, I thought the poster should send B2 a message looking for his suggestions......

This site operates differently from the rest...........keep it positive and helpful.

I have some high CBD hemp seeds left over from my hemp days(2019-2021). They won’t get you high unless you make edibles with them. You could have them but they have been sitting in a drawer for the last fourish years so I have no idea if they are viable.

I grew a lot of “Abacus”. Nice tall purple plants that would consistently pump out 18% CBD and smelled wonderful. Big frosty purple buds with bag appeal. But turns out that it is hard to sell herb that doesn’t get you high haha. I couldn’t make any money with hemp at that time and I had bomber products and plants. But I kept a bunch of seeds in case I wanted to grow CBD again I just didn’t know how to store them properly at the time so like I say, I have no idea if they are viable. You would probably have to do old seed tricks like scraping with sandpaper or using a peroxide/water mix to sprout them.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but were you or did you sell autos when you first started selling here? This was when autos were pretty new. I remember buying some autos and wasn't too happy with the results. I tried autos from several breeders and didn't like any of them so I didn't pursue that route anymore, went back to photos and honestly forgot about you. I assume you were just having a bad day and vented here.

Recent comments were from a thread that was over a year old. I didn't notice that, at first. The original poster said he wasn't seeing the specific qualities he was looking for among offerings from sponsors, at that time.

I've only recently made my first order from you. Beginning grower- small order. I can say that I made that order with confidence based off of recommendations from the experienced people I look to for advice on this forum.

Love Brother Mendel's work and one thing I really like about Mendel is his freebees. His seeds seem expensive AF but his freebees are straight out of his catalog, not some testers that no one knows about. By one get one free is his policy and the freebees cut the actual price you pay in half.
