Delivery Test: Pick n Mix, Peak, Elite

I've just placed orders with 3 seedbanks and I'll track their delivery and report the seeds' condition on this thread. I've gone to two of my tried and true favorites: PeakSeedsBC and Pick n Mix; and made my first purchase from Elite.

The orders with payment were mailed to Peak yesterday and Elite today; and the online order with Pick n Mix was placed 15 minutes ago. Peak is off on the Island in the middle of buttfucknowhere so we'll give them that extra day for the ponies to carry the beans to civilization.

All orders out on March 10: Peak in buttfuckville Canada; Elite in The Valley Of The Insane, below the sanity border at the 49th parallell; Pick n Mix accross the pond in the land of fish and chips.

Since I'm already high AND have a full volcano bag of Skunkberry/NL I think I'll post the strains I'm getting.

.

PeakSeedsBC (10 packs - regular) : Cost including delivery: $60 CAD / 34 GBP / $47 USD

One of my favorites, small bank like Serious specializing in Northern Lights, Skunk, Skunkberry, Nothern Skunk, Blueberry and Texada Timewarp. I'm still waiting on the TT.

Blueberry
- I'm excited about this one, I've been waiting over a year for it to come back in stock.
Skunk

.

Elite (5 pack - regular) : Cost including delivery: $80 CAD / 45 GBP / $60 USD

The strain only crowd is a subculture in the growing community that I never knew existed. Like Trekies or Larpers with really good weed

Super Strawberry Diesel
- I'm really excited about this one, SC clone, [strawberry cough drop / Diesel] taste, potent. With the Diesel and real Strawberry Cough it should be an amazing strain for depression and anxiety. And fun. This is the strain I'm looking forward to most, out of all these great picks.

.

Pick n Mix (single feminized) : Cost including delivery: $145 CAD / 82 GBP / $116 USD

Can't recommend these guys high enough.

Alaskan Ice
- Greenhouse
Arjan's Haze #3 - Greenhouse
Blue Moonshine - Dutch Passion
Big Bang - Greenhouse
Cheese - Big Bhudda
Jack Flash #5 - Sensi
Original Flo - Dutch Passon
Super Silver Haze - Greenhouse
Taiga (autoflower) - Dutch Passion
TrainWreck - Greenhouse
White Widow - Seedsman

Totals for all 3 orders: : Cost including delivery: $285 CAD / 162 GBP / $217 USD : 14 strains

.

Now I'm on the lookout for Sour Diesel IBL. I've read that auctions sell out of these beans and people part with $300 to get them. They must be mine.

Why $47 for Peak, their prices go up? I just looked on their website and thought it was still $40 a pack.

Never heard of Elite, looks like they have some KILLER strains.

Pick n Mix is a nice option eza. Ordering one at a time is a cool way to at least try to grow out a bunch of strains but some of those just won't germ, grow out, or be good representations of the best qualities a strain is known for. But one seed at a time, even fem'd, means you have to be dead on or kiss that strain goodbye until next grow.

Hobbes, will be interesting to hear how your pick n mix seeds turn out. Maybe do a grow report thread on them?

Unfortunately they still are $40 USD a pack outside Canada, but fortunately $30 CAD a pack for Canucks. Delivery included. The $47 was the $60 CAD for the two strains, changed to US currency. So I get two strains for $47 USD, delivered. Sorry to gloat.

"Never heard of Elite, looks like they have some KILLER strains."

They do seem amazing, but there is very little in the form of smoke reports on the net. It seems that these creatures who haunt the Clone Only forums know the effects of the parent clone only strains and every possible permutatuon. They even have their own language (ie IBL) and have evlolved to have a 6th toe on their left ear. Weird Subculture, but they've got the gear.

You're absolutely correct. I figure that I'll order as many fem singles of the strains I find interestng until my seed budget is exhausted. When some of the seeds don't germ - I know there will be duds and grower mistakes - I'll move on to the next seed/strain and reorder the duds with my next order as you suggest. When there's a strain I want to keep I'll order a pack of regulars and pick out the best plant for a mother. Pick n Mix is just a great way to try a whole lot of strains on a budget.

"Hobbes, will be interesting to hear how your pick n mix seeds turn out. Maybe do a grow report thread on them? "

100%! I've got 7 strains growing now, I'll do smoke reports on those 7 strains and the new ones - when I can grow them half decently.

i like pick and mix, single seeds rule for those with small closets!

my only criticism would be that there are a few seedbanks missing - i wish they sold the subcool stuff - but their choice is getting better.

oh yeah - first post here - long time lurker

The Pick n Mix owner was on the forum a while back, asking for suggestions for new breeder lines to carry. They're new and growing, give them a year.

Suggestions included: DJ Short, Subcool, Peak, Dr Greenthumb, Reservoir, Elite, .....

If there's a breeder line they don't carry that you want drop them an email. They might not be able to get you the line but they'll appreciate the suggestions.

I like pick and mix but thet are so dam expensive. Dave if your reading this feel free to hook me up with a 20% discount code that I have read so much about. LOL I have ordered from you, pixnmix but Attitude and the Dr. get my business the little bit I save makes for 5-10 more beans most of the time so a discount would persuade another order from you I need some auto's and outdoor seeds summer is here!

Elite actually has a sub-forum on another board I frequent. He posts pictures and notes of all his strains. VERY impressive looking stuff. I'm going to pick up some Lemon Larry and one of his Chem crosses for sure. I've been able to ask him some questions and he seems like a straight-up guy. I'm pretty confident he'll pass your delivery test. -/\/\

Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 10:19 AM, local time. - 1 week.

I got a confirmation email from Pick n Mix on the 10th, the same day I ordered, but no delivery notice. I ordered an I-Inhale portable vaporizer yesterday and the tracking notice from Canada Post was in my email in-box this morning, very reassuring. Pick n Mix can't do this until they add more expensive shipping options, but a delivery email from Pick n Mix would be nice if it could be automated with a scanable bar code on the mailing sticker on the package. An automated email when the package is scanned on the way out the door.

I wait.

" I'm pretty confident he'll pass your delivery test."

I'm sure he will too, I researched the company for business practice as well as breeding ability. I think Elite is top notch.

"Hobbes just wanted to say as read thru the forum I really enjoy and learn a ton from your post thanks for that!!"

Thank you for the compliment. I just read through the forums and find questions I'm interested in then save the info and copy and paste. A lot of the stuff I post I've posted a few times before, and it's other people's work anyway, so I infuse whatever comedy my stoned mind is processing at the time. Sort of a flow of concousness thing ...
