Hey Ringo,

The guy that runs GLG works a regular job also. He's pretty good about keeping in touch. I have been ordering from them for a few years. No problem so far. Had a delay on a Christmas deal got a bunch of awesome lbl crosses as freebies. No complaints.

I have seen some nice stuff from exotics

Can't go wrong with bodhi either.

They are a great seed bank with very generous freebies....more than most seed banks. You can't go wrong w/ GLG.

Cool. Still waiting for my account to be verified. Maybe I should register another account.

Meanwhile, on a fluke, I placed an order from Cannagenetics bank. They are 1 of only 2 Barney's Farm distributors in the USA so I ordered a pack of LSD. We'll see how they do.

Also getting ready to place an order with Oregoneliteseeds. I used them once before and they were great.

Just an update. I placed 2 orders on August 26th.

The first order placed with CGB Cannagenetics Seed Bank. They were one of 2 USA distributors listed on Barney's Farm web site and I wanted a specific Barney's strain so I went there. I ordered by credit card and received the beans today. Nicely packed in the original BF breeder pack. The freebies were 5 Annunaki Genetics Black Cherry Soda x a bunch of stuff. 5 Free seeds for buying a 10 pack. not bad.

I never heard of this bank before so it was a risk but they did just fine.

The other order was placed with Oregon Elite Seeds. I sent cash and my package was received by them yesterday. I am waiting for an email saying they got the money and the beans are shipping. I'll update that when it happens.

So, if you are looking for Barney's Farm seeds in the USA, CGB did OK by me.

I recently bought seeds from Oregon Elite Seeds. Shipping was faster than the website as I got them the same day he updated my account status.

Thanks. So, I won't be surprised if they show up early. I figured they were off for the Labor Day weekend.

Ya know, this is why I can't wait for WalMart and Amazon to start selling seeds. I hate dealing with small businesses. I love big box stores. If I had ordered these seeds from WalMart, they would be sprouting by now. But with these shit ass small one man ops, the service sucks. Oregon Elite Seeds received my money FIVE days ago and I still have no email acknowledging receipt of my money, much less seeds actually shipping.

As for Great Lakes, I have no clue how they got good reviews from you guys. I even registered a second time using a different email address and still no reply. I sent two emails to customer service with zero replies. Some else try to register for an account and let me know how it goes.

And, people wonder why small business is dead and big box is thriving. How about this.... a better price AND better service. WTF? It's not big box stores that killed the Mom and Pop. It was Mom and Pop's shitty service.

Wish we had a Herbie's or The Vault in the USA.

Fucking small business pussies. Waaaaa, don't want to work on Labor Day. I work so hard. I need a vacation. Fuckin pussy. I'd like to meet the guys who own these companies. I'll bet they shake hands with some limp pussy hand shake.

Cocksuckers with shitty service.

Thank you.

Seedsman has a huge inventory, lots of Barneys gear. Their shipping method is great. Putting that out there as a Herbies/Vault style alternative.

The US companies are really bending over the consumers here with price gouging and lame ass payed in memberships.

Unfortunately, Seedsman is in Spain, not the USA. At least, that's what it looks like on the web site.
 
Following, I'm in... White Widow, Lemon Pineapple, Original Blueberry,
30 seeds $89.97 Free shipping.
Added Skunk 1 just for shits and giggles they added Tax. 40 seeds Grand total $128.96
Make My Grow Great Again 2020...

Received my order on the 31st, no freebies but as $29.99 for 10 reg seeds it's cool. Paid by credit card no problem. No fancy packaging, seeds from Bend, Oregon. Billing from Michigan.


Sprouted 4 each placed in beer cups. What does a $2.99 seed produce, We will find out.
Yes it's September, but in So Cal it is possible. Saved 6 each until after Winter Solstice.

Another day goes by and still no word from Oregon Elite. What a scumbag. I'll bet you a hundred bux his previous job was flipping burgers or some equally 'no responsibility' job. Waaaaaa, I don't want to work on a holiday. Well, then you should have kept your burger flipping job.

I hope this dickhead is the first one that WalMart puts out of business when they start selling seeds.

On a more positive note, the totally unheard of bank, Cannagenetics Bank (https://www.cannageneticsbank.com/) performed with flying colors. I ordered from them the same day I ordered from Elite and those seeds are already in the dirt, sprouted and a fucking inch tall. The other dickhead hasn't even confirmed he got my package FIVE days ago.

I'll bet another hundred bux that this guys handshake feels like a limp penis.

What do you want to bet he tells me they are out of my selection? Anyone?

Well, I got a tracking number today.

I have always been the kind of person who give 110% on everything I have ever done. When I get service that is, even 99%, I get a little irate and annoyed.

I guess I shouldn't expect 110% from everyone on everything. Might be a better world if it was like that but, alas, the world is what it is.

Apologies to the readers.

I had a bad experience with Southern Oregon Seeds recently. Customer service consisted of the owner berating me for bringing an issue to his attention. From now on, I'm going to stick with the tried and true companies such as GLG, JBC and DCSE.

Well, seeds arrived and I couldn't be more disappointed. They are re-packs.

I like to get my seeds in the breeder packs. These were tossed in a cheap plastic tube with no cotton or packing or anything. Cheap label that says "White Label Skunk".

What the fuck. Who knows what these seeds are.

Bullshit and pisses on you to Oregon Elite Seeds.

I have grown many strains of skunk and I know what I'm looking for. If these seeds don't produce a 'skunk' plant I'm going to Oregon personally and kick this guy in his fucking balls.

Dipshit.

OK, which one of you guys is the rat? LMAO

I don't believe in coincidence and I don't believe in destiny.

The free seeds I got from Oregon Elite were, DVGenetics............. Foulmouth.

Like I said, who's the rat that pointed them to this thread? LMAO

Wow. My experience with Oregon Elite Seeds was completely different.

2 packs of seeds in the original breeder packs and 2 3 packs of seeds of Cannarado something or other in sealed breeders packs.

ETA - SSH x Apple Juice. Never heard of Apple Juice. Might be worth growing them out if there's apple taste to be had.

ETA2 - Found on the innerwebs - Apple Juice = (orange sour apple x triple Kush)

You sure it was Oregon Elite Seeds and not Southern Oregon Seeds? I get the 2 confused. I bought from Southern Oregon before and they were great.


Not getting breeder packs pisses me off.
