Seedboutique can be trusted to deliver "The Goods" in a stealthy manner.

They have the Mr Nice Critical mass in stock I see. These would make most new to the game growers very happy if they were to grow them out and look for a magnificent mama plant, chance's are quite possible they'd find one or three "keepers" out of their standard 18 pack of M/F seeds. Most folks find C.M. relatively easy to grow.

imho, Mr. Nice's "Super Silver Haze" has some rather interesting flavor profiles that can occur but I would not recommend growing it to a non-seasoned grower as some specimens can get rather finicky and unforgiving due to any driver error's.
SeedBoutique is very reliable, I have sent cash, maybe a dozen times over the past few years and delivery was never a problem, they always made the voyage in a reasonable amount of time..
SeedBay also has an extensive seed menu to peruse.

has anyone used a seed bank and can anyone share their experience?

This site is sponsored by Seed Boutique (https://www.seedboutique.com/default.aspx). They are very reputable.

As far as seed companies go:
- there are a great many companies
- many are good
- more expensive doesn't mean better
- beware of hype
- I've grown stuff from Paradise, Green House, Chimera, Gypsy Nirvana Collection, Federation, Reeferman, Serious, and Sensi. The only ones I would recommend against based on my own experiences are Reeferman and Sensi Seeds. Incidentally, Sensi Seeds are some of the most expensive.

Straight up, you are not allowed to talk about other seed banks.... Ill clarify that before this gets closed. Go to seedboutique.com or seedbay.com, or go to another forum and ask

To answer the question-
Almost all bean companies have gone through good periods and bad periods. Example=Soma... The companies I am about to list are companies that I know are good RIGHT NOW

Dutchgrown seeds
Grindhouse seeds
Reservoir seeds (His IBL's are debatable b/c of hermie rates)
Connoisseur Seeds
Karma Seeds
BOG's stabilized sour bubble line
Head Seeds
Moska
Tom Hill
Spice of Life's NEW GENETICS


One's that I think are good but I don't know from personal experience are:
Mr. Nice
Fritillary
Seen a few good Chimera

Stick w/ those.. I find that the one's that are known from old HT cup winnings are old genetics that are not SHIT compared to whats around today..

Also, I find that ICMag memebers only send in beans b/c they are fucking amazing genetics, not because they are trying to make a living off of it.. (EX= Mooch's chemD x c99 is some of the dankest shit I have grown in years)

Chance of herms ,Or just schwag turns me off on bagseed grows why waste a grow on IF's.

I believe Pine is right its Ok to mention but not push the issue
.
seedbay and the boo are a real deal


I believe its out of respect for Gypsy and the hard work he's done to create this site , the boo and the bay.That why peeps dont recommend other seed banks or sites .

While it was nice of you to respond, your answers simply are not correct..
Chance of herm's on bag seeds is low in my personal experience, having popped about 30 different strains of bag seeds.. Although the chance is higher.. Example= Reservoir Chem d ibl.. Chem d is a herm in the first place, so of course the seeds that are going to come from a breeding project of that are going to have higher rates of herm than other strains.. Hermie plants have undone the sex chromosone in the plant and essentually unstabalizes it, however, does not mean its seeds are going to be hermie.. Most frequently, they will just turn out being females..
If it weren't for some people popping bag seeds, Chemdog would not now be avaialble all over the place! I would not have the bubba kush x OG Kush that I'm growing now, and I would not have the Chemdog D purple pheno that I have now.. As well as many many other strains people have gotten off bag seeds.. I wouldn't reccommend breeding w/ bag seeds, but go ahead and pop em' if the bag you got them outta is some fire

Second, The reason people do not mention other sites is because its not allowed, not out of respect! I love gyspy and what gypsy has done, but no amount of respect would ever withhold me or many others from sharing info if we were allowed too.

thanks for everyone's insight i will read when i get back from dinner with my gf

 

[pinecone]

didn't mean to post

 

[jm420]

Theres a thousand threads with other seedbanks posted that dont get banned . F?b is a mod so I'll take his word for it .sorry I was wrong.Out of curiosity I'm looking for DR Dogs zombie virus its not sold at the boo and I havn't been able to find it on the bay.He is well repected here so would it be that wrong to buy his gear elsewhere or be told where i can find it? As far as bagseed goes Its still a waste of time in my opinion.

to attack me and say I'm not correct is B.S I have 30 sq feet of grow area and I will not waste my time on maybe I'll find a kiiller phenofrom a bag of unknown, when theres much better places to start versus a seed in a bag.
Congrats to you on 30 +grows of bag seed I dont have the room or the patience.As far as dropping rez's name takes some balls its well known and documented here that SOME of his IBL's are likely to herm..This could also be percieved as cutting edge in the breeders world.How long did it take DJ to find a stable blueberry?Thats what the search function is for at least for research on what you want to put or don't in your garden.
As far as the Chem d goes someone had the time patience and room to experiment and find the special one.I'll take my chances on powerball first
I did not answer the ? incorrectly I just gave my opinion.so go grow your bag seed while i find strains that peek my intrest and find a killer pheno from proven genetics.
My guees is I'll find a keeper sooner than guesing at random seeds .
IMO bag seed is great for getting your enviorment dialed in

 

[daheadies]

Respect the opinion, but being someone who has popped 30+ bag seeds and 100+ reputable breeder seeds, I have found that finding a true keeper is just as likely in one as the other (if the bag seed is from a bag of ridiculous dank)

Seriously, I bought a bag of Chem D one day.. Full of beans.. Popped 5, 3 were females.. 1 was hermie, 1 was green and as potent and stanky as Chem D can get, and the 3rd was PURPLE, and as potent and stanky as chemD can get.. IMO, getting that 1 hermie was worth finding a purple chemdog pheno.. I have gotten keepers out of other bag seeds as well, such as my Bubba x OG. Others too..

As far as dropping rez's name a/b hermies... Im just stating the facts, (and I even backed him up saying that its the genetics from the beginning, not necessarily his fault) you will also find his name in the post of recommended breeders by me..

That's the truth man.


All bullsh*t aside, the bay and the boutique are great to deal with and there a literally probably just a handful of reputable companies they don't carry...

This forum is reason enough for me to give them 95% of my business because you can read all the times they have went above and beyond to fix/aid any snafoos that occur when your buying gentics.


Beyond that all I would say is that prices definitely seem to go with reputation. I am not saying you can't find fire for $40 a pack from many many GOOD breeders....

I am just saying you know most anybody who is getting $90 a pack or more generally has a strong reputation and proven success.
(such as: Rez / Bog / Tom Hill / ODJ / KARMA / DJ ......./ dutchgrown)

( You could argue that they also will have the revenue to make selections from larger and more diverse gardens... its a numbers game...)



But as daheadies just stated, that reputation is not gonna find you keepers- that is also a numbers game and through that logic you are better off to buy cheaper seeds for more chances.

Its really like some crazy math paradox if you think about it.
