Seed Banks, Good and Bad

[rcpilot04401]

:bigsmoke:even going from the U.K to the U.S.A? You don't think there's to much security? If their found, then it's really no big deal, I show the card, and everything is cleared...but after that happens...you know, I'm on everyone's radar then...I'm not looking for the hassle...I live in a suburb, with it's own police force for a little over 1000 people...don't want the hassle...but seriously...has anything happened to anyone? Not wishing to draw any bad karma or anything, but what has happened? They just take it and send you a notice that it's been confiscated? Just trying to make a some what intelligent choice...if I'm ever sober...HE HE...SMOKE UP EVERONE!!!

then...I forgot what I was going to say...

Anybody ever notice it's harder to get seeds to germinate, in soil, indoors; in the wintertime?...or it's just me?...:wtf:Every winter for the past 4 years...they split open, rise up & stop!
Easiest is Always in the summer/fall for me..just saying...

sounds like temp issue, perhaps your soil gets too cold. i do great between late late summer and early spring regardless of seeds or clones. summer for me means 125 degrees.

Sup. I'm from Puerto Rico that is part of the states, I wanted to know what seed banks ship to my address and how they do it? Im really concern about the shitty laws because here they are very strict with that.

singleseedcentre.com is such a legit site. I ordered from them last summer, had NO problems whatsoever, and the seeds got here very quickly.

I ordered from them this summer, and had them delivered to my girlfriends address (cause I had been living there primarily at the recent time), and her postal man refused to deliver them. Instead, he sent them to dead mail (where you cannot get international packages back from).

I emailed singleseedcentre.com and told them what had happened, and asked if I replaced the order (of $170) if they would throw in a couple extra freebies along with the freebies they already give (which BTW where feminized and more expensive by double than the ones I ordered). They said they were just going to resend the whole order for free. Got here no problem.

Love those guys, so nice and helpful. Will almost always get a reply from customer service within a day.

Honestly, IMO I would not choose anyone over Attitude. You dont have to worry about your stuff getting lost or found (rarely) and even though it may take a little extra time to get there, it will get there without the extra costs of t-shirts and mugs, unless you're the noid type...just don't go buying too much and no problem:smokin: ATTITUDE all the way:thumbsup:

I've always stuck with sensible seeds, never had an issue with them and the packaging is covert

I googled attitude marijuana seeds - and of course, 300 sites show up... :wtf: Figures...

How 'bout some URLS for legit seedbanks that stand behind their product shipping to the states?

(DISCREETLY!!)

I find that some seeds are supposed to be recommended for the beginning and some for the more experienced grower, some suggested for soil and some for hydroponics. Choices choices choices.... and more choices choices choices.... Holy Shit! My eyes hurt from reading a bunch of sales hype on some WAAYYYY overpriced seeds. With no source of knowing if I'm ordering from a legit seed back, or dickhead Detective HardAss.

Ok, help me out here. I'm looking for something that pretty hearty, easily grown - for the (ahem) 'lesser experienced grower' with a good balance of body/head load. But be damned if I'm going to shell out $10 plus a seed! About $4-5 per seed is about as high as I'm willing to go at this point. It's be different if I'd been growing for years and had a clue as to what I was doing. Oh, and (of course) I'd be shipping to a legit address in Washington state complete with card.

What'cha ya'll found that meet these criteria? Suggestions?

I started germing a new crop several weeks ago. Now I'm using the paper towel method to get them started, but I have noticed three things myself. I am assuming they are related to temps, but maybe something else (central heat keeps temps right around 70 all the time during cold seasons and I usually keep the house around 75-78 during summer with the central air.)
1. Seeds are not germinating at the same 95-97% success rate that I had before late fall/winter set in
2. Half of the seeds that did germ didn't pop through the soil after moving them from the paper towel to the soil medium (this really blows and I have been VERY careful not to touch the tap root or handle with my hands at all)
3. The ones that did pop through the soil are having a harder time shedding their seed shell (had to manually assist one so far and may have to step in with another one too)

Yes...been there...done that.

I found that maintaining 80-85 degrees F. is a big help. I usually heat up a closet, now.

Good soil temperature is critical
