Buying seeds?

Hi all, I'm new around here and looking for some info on buying seeds online. How safe is it? Can you get locked up for it? How do they ship the seeds, can the drug dogs smell it?

I want to buy some killer seeds but my wife dont think its very safe so any info you can provide me with would be great.

Thanks

also one more question....say I have a week female planet and a killer male planet. If I let that male planet knock up my female will the new offspring be like the male or the female?

You just missed the "prime ordering time"- right before Xmas. If you want to play it the safest, time your order's arrival to coincide with holidays! Valentines and Mother's Day are also good- lots of cards and there are only so many customs/postal inspectors! Most places that are worth buying from, ship discretely- the seeds may be in or other article. In most cases, if seeds are detected, you get a green letter from Customs saying they grabbed your seeds, and if you'd like to claim them please contact Customs...(don't) and that is the end of it. You aren't a big enough "fish" to bother with. So it is reasonably safe, especially since we've had a change in government- the deep south can still be problematic, though. This long thread discusses the whole thing in detail.

About the genetics. It really depends on the female- is she weak because of having the CBD genes instead of THC genes? Is she a ruderalis strain? Is she weak because she was undernourished while growing? Or spider mites got to her? But as a general rule, the offspring will mostly fall between the two parent's stoniness. If the female has some good genes, you should get a few "decent" plants mixed in with the "just OK" plants. These should explain it-

BLAH. My long post got deleted.

Basically - Seedboutique to order seeds. Use a prepaid CC (7-11) or money order (or send cash but that's not recommended).

Type "UBERSTEALTH" at the checkout box. It's safer to order online and send the payment in an envelope than to send the payment AND an order slip together. So, order online and choose "pay by mail" and then send the payment in separately.

Ship to a different name. A previous tenant, or any fictitious name.

Now so they cannot hold you liable, when the package arrives, keep it closed. Write "Return to Sender" on it and put it on your desk for a few days. The idea is, if you're busted, they can't hold you liable because they have no proof you ordered it. Otherwise I can send seeds to all my enemies and get them in trouble.

People mail oz/lbs of bud in the mail, heroin, coke, etc. Seeds are nothing..

Enjoy.

I wouldn't suggest using a previous tennants name. If he filled out a change of address form he's going to get your seeds, lol.....

I have been ordering from Seed Boutique since the days when it was seedsdirect. I have never had an order intercepted. I have used a credit card every time. The charge on the Visa never says Seed Boutique or anything else that would link it to marijuana seeds. I consider seed ordering the safest step in the whole process.

This thread should be deleted. I like helping people out, but damn. I never thought of asking how to order seeds when I first came online.

He's not asking how to order, but about the safety, and how to do it safely. I had many of the same questions, so thread definitely should not be deleted. Perfectly reasonable concerns.
