My Three Failed Attempts To Get Good Seeds

Discussion in 'Marijuana Seeds Banks' started by 90s grow star, Jul 19, 2014.

  1. Im new to this forum and this is my first post. I just can't figure out how everyone seems to get high quality seeds in the US when all three of my attempts have failed. Im no beginner when it comes to growing weed but I've never bought seeds before. Growing throughout the late 80's and 90's I always had connections from up north to supply me with good genetics, but having taken 11 years off from growing they've all moved on. I believe as many growers do that genetics are equal in importance as all the other factors combined. That said I decided to buy good seeds when I got ready to crank it back up. My first attempt was not researched very well as I ordered 10 purp seeds from BC Bud Depot and got nothing but an email thanking me for my cash. Had I read online a little I would have seen that everyone was having the same luck with BBD. So I figured lesson learned. After intense research I decided to try The Tude and attempted to pay with my buisness debit. I immediately recieved a call from the girl at the bank, whom I've known for 25 years, asking if I knew about an overseas purchase being attempted with my card. So I freaked out and canceled the order and told her it was just a mistake. Not the  Tudes fault  but it would be nice if they could take money orders,either way it's failure number 2. My third try was with OSSC. I sent cash again and all went well, they emailed me upon reciept of my cash,and let me know when it shipped. It was really looking good till I got my package from them, you could just imagine my joy walking back from the mailbox until I opened it up and out falls a notice from UScustoms informing me that the contents had been seized and criminal charges may be forthcoming.Reason for disposition was Phyto sanitary cert not attached. I dont know what that means. It was 0.4 grams and listed as cannibis propagation material.It's very scary because my next two packages of regular stuff like from ebay were not delivered on time and when called to check on the items all the postal clerk would tell me was [ delivery was officialy restricted. When I got the items they had been opened so something is up. Any comments ,suggestions,or critique are always welcome.

     
  2. Hi,
     
    Consider purchasing seeds from a licensed and trustworthy seedbank like sensiseeds.com. They sell high quality seeds, but come a bit expensive. You won't have to worry about getting noticed because the billing information is totally discreet just as the packaging. Your seeds will arrive in an enveloppe containing the seeds and having no cannabis related things written on it. Only the company's initials S.S.
     
  3. Bad run of luck but two places weren't great and the other problem was your card.

    Nirvana and herbies are great. Make sure your OK for international orders.

    Sucks about your BSD run but there is hope.

    If you think you've been flagged because other shipments are being opened, you could get a box at the UPS store or someplace like that so you have what looks like a street address.
     
    Many seed banks will continue to ship until you receive the seeds if they're either lost or get seized. Some will make you pay an additional "guaranteed" fee for that service. I'm a rep for one of the site sponsors & we're not charging for that so far.
     
    If you feel up to trying a 4th time and decide to use Gorilla Seeds, someone's always on this site to help you out as much as possible. We can't take credit or debit cards from the US at this time, but we do take cash, bank transfers & bitcoins. If you go with cash, please send it through tracked mail for your protection & so that we can locate it easier if there's any delay in posting your payment.
     
    And, if you don't mind saying, what part of the US are you in? If you're serviced by either the Chicago or LA customs offices, they're increasingly hard on people. I haven't heard of anyone getting prosecuted, but you're the second person I've heard of who has had unrelated shipments opening after receiving a seizure notice. I think the other person was on this forum as well and it was Amazon shipments that UPS opened - DVD's or something.
     
  5.  
    None of the breeders will ship to the USA. You have to go through a seedbank like Attitude or Herbies.
     
  6. Didn't know that though, sucks that some breeders don't ship over waters, but I'm pretty sure there are a few who can guarantee good quality seeds
     
  7. Thanks for the input RPK, I'll take a look at SS. Cost is not really the main issue I just need something to work with. Thanks agin.
     
  8. Thanks for the input GC. I 've always lived in the deep south. The package was seized at JFK in NY. I have two completely separate and legitimate addresses.I live and ship to one,and grow at the other, always have. The risk of the law linking the two is minimal, still spooky though. Gorilla was under consideration when I went with the Tude but I'll take another look. Thanks again for your time.
     
  9. Thanks for the input Acat ,I'm trying again soon ,but I may go with regular seeds and grow a seed crop just to keep from having to go through all this again, for awhile anyway. The Nirvana prices seem very reasonable. Thanks again.
     
  10. Move to California and buy clones from the dispensaries.
     
  11.  
    I live in the not so deep south, but below DC - I've never had anything seized or even looked at.
    Maybe they're tightening down everywhere.
     
    Look for a pm from me.
     
  12. Maybe it was just bad luck on my part. I'm going to try again soon with a smaller order, like 50 to 75 $. I will look for the pm. thanks
     
  13. Your just kidding me , right.Otherwise thats horible advice.Thanks anyway though
     
  14. That stinks, especially since they came through NY. All of mine come through there and I have received all of mine.
    Here's the latest that I won.
    Have you tried any of the US based breeders/banks?
    Try Cannazon. Many US based beans there. Usually about $75 and up, but your chances of seizure are reduced to practically 0.
    Good luck.

  15. Oh, and do try Gorilla if you do order from overseas. They do come through, have everytime for me.

  19. well you haven't read enough. ..thousands of Americans are growing seeds purchased from holland, Spain and the UK.
    now what is impossible is customs intercepting every package ever shipped to the us.
    Spend a little time in the growers section.

    To the op. If customs worries you Try a local seed bank and have it shipped to another address other than the flagged address.
    I recommend waseedbank (alphakronik) out of washington. They take credit cards/paypal (lol) or holistic nursery (bodhi, kens gdp genetics, loompa farms, & og raskal) out of cali. They're a bit more of a hassle since you have to send cash priorty mail w tracking number in a bubble envelope but there is peace of mind knowing you can track the cash.
    Both companies are legit and have came through for my crew without a problem. We're up in Maine though.

    Edit another one we just had success with was natures green remedies out of michigan..i cant remember all the seed companies they list but we snagged some cabin fever (chemmando).
