Hello All,
First post on the boards, been a great site as I get setup.
Anyways, I wanted to post a short review of an Ontario (Canada) seed bank that I recently used. They are in the Sublime Cafe in Toronto. Their website is www.happygirl.ca
Where they say they are called Toronto420.
Not sure why they have so many names. Regardless, I went into the sublime cafe, grabbed a nice coffee and asked the cashier about the seed bank.
She proceeded to give me a hefty binder with all the strains they had available which gave some nice detailed information on whether they are indoor/outdoor, feminized, avg. yeild, size, and for medical users what the experience is like.
I asked some questions she could not answer, so she gave me the cell of the owner "Mark" whom I called and was extremely friendly and knowledgable (check out the website for a nice and easy growers guide, the webpage does suck for formatting IMHO).
After talking to Mark I decided on some AK-47 feminized seeds by Rare Earth Seeds, as it was my first grow and he recommended it for my medical needs and relatively ease of growth. My $80 got me 5 seeds in a little plastic container.
I followed the instructions given to germ them, which is basically the paper towel method, and 2 days later 1 seed has already germinated. 2 more have cracked the shell, but no roots yet. I have transfered the single seed to a soil medium and will continue to monitor the other seeds.
Overall I would say the experience was 5/5 with dealing with them in person, I have not seen any reviews on the mail order portion, but the owner said mailing within Canada has never been a problem if I don't want to head into Toronto and need more seeds.
Right now I would put the seeds as unknown as only one has germinated (quickly!). I will post a follow up in a few more days to let everyone know how things are going.
