Wow, the crowd here changes night to day and back again in no time.
I understand the frustration of regular posters who see messages about "reputable" seed sellers etc. I also understand the frustration of newbs to weed growing who are struggling to find planting material and then spam questions about seed-sellers.
I'm thinking the only reliable solution to this would be people focusing on improving what material is already here. The threads on using colloidal silver to create feminised seeds would definitely help in creating a seed-resource. Honestly, at least as far as my WA experience is concerned, it's been easier to get strains from Aussies than it has been to get them in from international breeders... I'm forced to keep mothers and take regular clones in order to sustain a varietal base from which to grow. Every pot smoker likes a bit of variety, even if they have their favs, so it's almost standard practice.
I've been lucky, that between the one order I've had come in for me and the charitable individuals who have taken pity on my, I've manage to accumulate a number of clones:
Afghan Kush, Skunk #1, Jock Horror, Jock Horror x White Rhino, Durban Poison.
Probably got enough genetic variability to last me ages. If I could get some Northern Lights #5 and maybe some White Widow in, I'd be set! Think of the crosses one could make? Sure, I'm no breeder, and certainly not expert as far as genetics are concerned, but I'd rather take control of things than rely on seeds getting past my local customs representatives...
Anyway, just some drunken musings. On the farm, bored out of my tree, and drinking my own Shiraz. No weed though... Could be worse!

going to start indoors then moving my babies outside once I move (in a month or so, will finally have a private yard) so will be using CFL's until then.
