ordering seeds safely

Welp im gonna be moving into a new apartment soon and im thinking of starting a grow. I havent smoked in nearly a year so ive got no bagseed whatsoever, and im not real great at finding contacts. SOOOO looks like ill be ordering some seeds, and I was wondering what the safest method for doing this nowadays is. I recall reading a thread a while back where someone reccomended getting a PO box under a fake name or something. Is this still suggested?? how much are PO boxes?I really dont wanna get caught growing so im trying to be as paranoid as possible about this, so what is the safest method for ordering seeds?

Have them shipped to a place other than your grow site.

I don't think you can get a PO box under a fake name anymore since they require 2 sets of IDs I believe.

A PO Box is the worst place in the world you could have anything for your grow sent to. Get a safe addy somewhere. A low key friend that doesn't grow...

Yes. Have them sent anywhere but your grow.
 
ive sent them 2 my house b4..even had seeds seized b4 and then placed another order to the same address and received my seeds just fine. unless ur a big commercial grower i think ull be fine. most ppl r just overly paranoid with the whole safe addy thing..
 
If your really desperate and you are moving anyway, have them sent to your current address, you're not growing there, you're moving out of town.

If you're not selling, not a big time dealer, not doing multi-kW grows, and not telling everyone about your grow, I'd say you're safe. I'd rather order to my address than tell someone else about the grow. If you're new in town, I'd much rather just ship to myself. If it gets seized, be careful. If not, grow away!

I don't think I've ever seen or heard about someone getting busted for seeds being seized or anything, so it's not that high on my list of priorities.

yea im just gonna start on a pc case micro grow.

its funny i started cleaning out my car today to start loading my stuff in for the trip. low and behold theres still like 10+ pot seeds scattered throughout my floor boards. i havent smoked for nearly a year LOL. just crappy bagseed, but im hoping maybe one will germ for me and i wont have to order. will a seed survive freezing temps?

You'd be surprised what a seed can survive. Freezing temps are one thing....I've seen seeds sit for YEARS on end in film canisters and still germ like nobody's business. Freezing repeatedly probably isn't the best thing for them, but try em out and see. Never know what goodies you'll find in bag seed. :smoke:

Im assuming you are in the U.S. You could go sign up for a P.O Box (real info) and under your physical address put the house you are moving away from. Order seeds from canada, over at the depot. Excellent quality and service, not to mention stealth. I wont tell you how they do it, only that I am very impressed, frustrated the fuck outta me to open it (think back to chimps and their tools ;))

Canada will not raise an eyebrow (not that holland or anyother place will.... right?) 1 week there, one week back. And you have the best weed in the neighborhood :)

I just completed my first *get feet wet* order. Now im going for the *stock up for armageddon* order, and I have no worries whatsoever.
