I'm calling bullshit. I've never had an issue with pacific seed bank ever. I've actually grown some of my best weed from their various breeders. Never had to deal with their customer service but have heard plenty of good from others who have had to use it. A lot of times weed banks have pretty strict return policies and expect you to prove faulty seeds for a good reason. A lot of people buy seeds and don't know how to properly germinate them and then they do exactly what you are doing. Flip out and act like the company is a bunch of frauds. When all it takes sometimes is a little cooperation and patience. Sent from my LM-X420 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
So you joined our community just to start a thread trashing a seed bank? Nobody is going to pay any attention to what you say. Have a nice day.
MY REVIEW SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT PACIFIC SEED BANK HAS STOOGES THAT PROWL THE INTERNET AND REPLY TO BAD REVIEWS. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING CONCERNS AND RETURNING YOUR MONEY LIKE ANY REPUTABLE BUSINESS WOULD. IT IS NO SKIN OFF MY NOSE IF FOOLS WILL BE FOOLS. DON'T BELIEVE ME? JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE REVIEWS OF PACIFIC SEED BANK AT THE BETTER BUSINESS SITE.
Why the caplock? Do you need to feel like you are shouting or something? Lol You sound like a pissed off ex employee. They drop you for stealing samples? Seriously though maybe you just got a bad batch of seeds. That does happen with any seed bank. I dunno why I'm even entertaining this but whatever. As I've said I've ordered from them plenty of times before, multiple different breeders and have had no real issues. Good luck to ya in the future though man!

All ive used is Pacific seed bank minus one buy from square one genetics. Ive only had one problem which they corrected. I'll add I didn't even ask for a refund I'd used them so much I only wanted them to be aware of the issue they sent another set of seeds and another set of freebies got 6 for the 3 bad ones. Pacific seed bank grow. Germinated 9 beans they all popped.
i guess every seed bank has such thread, already saw ilgm, herbies, seedsman. but people still order and get their seeds. if you're not happy with them then someone else is
I know this thread is from a year ago, but I'm posting for anyone that will come across this and read it in the future (like I just did). I've bought a lot of seeds from Pacific, many I have chilled in the fridge and haven't tried to grow yet. But I have germinated and grown a number of strains from them. For the most part, the seeds are good quality and produce decent plants, from what I have grown so far. What I can say about the quality of the seeds is that some of them seem to be old, and therefore the typical germination methods won't work, ie the wet paper towel on a plate. So if you run into that you have to do some other things to get these seeds to pop. Like soaking in a glass of water and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide for 24 to 48 hours to soften the shell. Or rubbing the seed lightly on some fine grain sandpaper to get some of the hard shell to come away. I had a few Blue Diesel auto seeds from Pacific that wouldn't pop with the wet paper towel, so after several days I did the hydrogen peroxide method and, eureka... the little suckers started to crack open, so back to the wet paper towel to get the tap root to grow. I dont doubt that some people may have had some bad experiences with Pacific, but I really think the complaints about seeds not germinating are just about inexperience perhaps?
I've been getting seeds from Pacific Seed Bank for 4 years. My germination rate over those 4 years has been 99%, even as a complete noob. So, I'm calling BS on that. I have, more than once, received random autos in my photoperiod seeds, though. My real issue with them is that you never know what cultivar it is that you actually purchased. All of their "breeders" are completely fabricated. Who knows where their seeds are coming from, or what they actually are.
