Not a seed bank but got solid genetics at low prices. Grapes, berries and orange terps galore.

There are a lot of good seed banks. I haven't tried that one. I bought some really great seeds from the DC Exchange. I feel lucky because the names of strains available are not what we are used to. Without any frames of reference, finding a very good strain is difficult. We all know what white widow and northern lights are. The new breeders would serve themselves and customers too if they described their strains as for example, as sort of like white widow or better than white widow or some other well known strain. Most people who by things are not experts. Most people who use cannabis really don't know one strain from another. One time my wife and I attended a meeting among marijuana enthusiast. Not a soul knew a thing about any well known strain. The conversation was like this stuff is really good and that stuff is not so hot. The market for seeds would be a whole lot better if ordinary people could at least easily determine what a strain is bred to do. The breeders and banks would both benefit. No one in business benefits by assuming people are well informed and don't need explanations. Breeders and banks don't explain their product in layman's terms, That works against them as well as for their customers.

So far I have recently ordered from
oregoneeliteseeds > only us bank I’ve ever ordered from until the other week.
greybeardseeds > which was fast shipping, they told me a pack I ordered was out of stock. Asked if I’d like to choose a replacement, I did. They sent me the wrong replacement which was suppose to be strawberry purple sherbet. They sent lemon sherbet, so I emailed them. Never received a repu back, but 3 days later received the pack Of PSS for free! Highly recommend them.
and I’ve ordered from jbc and seedsman last week a mf mi ordered are on the way!

Not quite USA but Mike at Peak Seeds BC does PayPal and has very high grade Cannabliss.
JBC and GLG are my go-to spots for USA Bodhi dealers. JBC takes CC but not near the freebie selection of Great Lakes. JBC is lightning fast.
As is Greenpoint with mostly clone only crossed with Stardawg but some others lately. Really great deals if you pay attention. Some very strong strains. Don’t care for their CC provider so I send cash now.

I did forget to mention PeakseedBC. I grab c99 from him and shipping was fast and being able to use PayPal was a plus.He is someone I will do business with again.
Getting ready to go send out cash to CSI Humboldt for 2 packs of chem 91 S1 . Will let you know how that goes once I receive the packs.

That's quite the tangent there, not sure why it's directed at me but ok. lol
It's up to the consumer to do the research and educate themselves on a product before they purchase it. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent researching breeders and their provenance. Several times more than I have researched how to grow lol.

Made my first order from Heavily Connected Seeds a few weeks ago and have to say that the dude there, Mike i think it is, provided me with a top tier level of service. I ordered one pack and checked-out and then just had to get another pack! Within a few minutes I received an email saying that he would send just one invoice with one shipping fee. A very nice touch as it saved me sending a email asking the same thing to him lol. Invoice was a breeze to complete with CC and order was received 5 days later in the EU!
Great honest fast service with very good prices!
Just made my second order
Had to share

Ordinary people can determine what a strain was bred to do by reading the breeder's description. Even more information can be found by searching for its name on this or many other forums. They can find pictures of other people that have grown it along with their firsthand descriptions of how the grow went and how the smoke turned out. It would be silly to expect a breeder to only work with strains that they've heard of. (especially if they've only heard of 2 that are both 25+ years old...) And honestly, if someone can't tell one strain from another, what difference does it make which one they grow?

ughh, sorry for the harshness of that. i was having a rough day and should've stayed off the internet.
The amount of strains and seeds available today is staggering, and finding the one you really like in a sea of latest-and-greatest hype strains can be daunting, but RIU (and other forums) is probably the best resource available for learning about all of them. Pack a bowl or 4 and follow some grow threads. Find some people whose opinions and work you respect and pay attention to what they grow and what they say about it. Plant some seeds you know nothing about and just watch how the plant grows. I've learned more about what I want or don't want in a strain from bagseed and freebies than from anything else.
As an aside, it would be really cool to see some breeders/banks offer seed samplers like cigar companies do. Most packs are ~12 reg seeds/6 fem, but most small time growers don't actually need that much. Would be cool to see a 12 reg/6 fem pack with 3 different strains in it so you could try out more of a breeder's lineup and then go back for a pack of the one you really want to find a keeper of.
