Brad from RAW owns Superior SeedBank and The Elite Clonez.

For years RAW (FishGanjaGuy) has been using dudegrows as a platform to promote himself and other banks. Same with his buddy JR Tokin (Scotty) from cannabuzz.
Going back to 2016, RAW was promoting Attitude Bank and Neptune.. I've never used attitude so I can't say much.

Anyone else see the connection? Congrats to JR for winning a trophy at DGCCup! No idea what it was for, but I'm sure it was legit, so congrats.
DudesGrow community all promote Neptune because they are all buddies, in the same clan and in biz together.. It's a small community. They all know each other. regardless of where they are located: Cali, Oregon, Colorado, Washington. I tune into dudesgrow all the time on youtube. They have put out some great content.
Im sure some will Agree or Disagree. I fully expect someone is going to defend all these banks and call me fool. Maybe someone from these banks will jump on and toss in their two cents. I enjoy the drama. I hate seeing other growmies waiting on deliveries, getting burnt with dud seeds or worse,
Just Blaze Media made most of these websites, including AtomicSeedBank (A.J.). Atomic blocked me before I could inquire about JBM.
There's a lot of cannabis/psychedelic websites made by JBM. If they all have similar inventory, same (FAQ,policies), same mailing address, isn't it safe to say it's suspect and run by same person/crew? I'm pretty sure Neptune is behind everything, including partnering up with superior. Any banks or breeders listed on this site I don't trust
https://justblazemedia.com/
Neptune was established in 2015. A majority of these sites that I list were established around 2020-2021.
"Superior, seedgurus, tokers dream, healthy made, united, high class, sapphire, chronic, platinum, heritage"
I'm going to make a separate post about Atomic to see if anyone has any feedback on him. But according to instagram (not atomic) he's buddies with Neptune (ambassador), Superior/Raw, TikiMan (1218 E broadway), ziplock seeds, massmedical. I'm hating on atomic because of the way he responded to me before blocking me like a coward.
Atomic brought up Superior in a conversation and it led me down a rabbit hole and discovered Superior is RAW.
Atomic and RAW are/were both neptune ambassadors @neptuneambassador. Not sure if RAW would openly admit to that.
Neptune closed the program.
reviews.io - "Was an "Ambassador" for Neptune Seed Bank. Sent them around $20,000 worth of sales over the course of 6/7 months. They closed the program without telling me, owing me almost $2000 which they never paid and won't even answer my emails asking what's going on. I for one will no longer ever recommend them."
I recently had a brief convo with superior in an instagram message and he's arrogant.. Brad, a thank you would have been nice?
I don't know who is copying who, but Neptune, Brotanicals (colorado) and most of these sites recycle the same verbiage (FAQ, privacy policies, shipping, etc), and use mailing address 1218 E Broadway #116 Long Beach, CA (RAW has different address) I still think they are all related in some way.

Raw Genetics FAQ
How can you put trust in these banks if they are all copycat banks?
I called out Atomic for promoting the exotic genetix big sherb box because he wasnt listed as a verified vendor.
He tells me he's not scamming and asked me if the sites listed below were scamming,.. It's ironic that he grouped all these banks together. They are frequently mentioned together on the web as 'not trusted' by many. But I guess that depends on who you ask. Whose scratching whose back? I find it funny how atomic and superior/raw each had 8 boxes when neither were on the verified vendor list for the drop? Superior is listed as a reseller, but he definitely wasn't on the list.
Atomic asked me "what about these banks. Are they scammers? Neptune, superior, seedsgurus, tokers dream, healthy made, united, high class, sapphire, chronic, platinum, heritage" .. why he would mention these sites is beyond me.
SeedGurus made me instantly think of guru from DGC. These banks besides superior have same mailing ad
Besides brotanicals, None of these sites were listed as verified vendors, but yet they all had boxes to sell. Any site made by JBM or associated with JBM had boxes. That's shady..
I haven't been scammed yet, but have negative reviews neptune and the sister sites amusing.
In these videos, Raw mentions ripping off Berner and Seed Junky. Him and JR talk about how to verify legit sites.
Atomic on his instragram talking about fake profiles, scammers, thieves.

Listen to West Coast Connoisseurs & Raw Genetics - Episode 4 from First Smoke of The Day. Another week another show, but still the only place to light up for your first smoke. Today we are joined by two of the most knowledge people when it comes to breeding and novelty beans. These two guests...

West coast connoisseurs might be the same crew. Just Blaze media made their website.
Wyeast farms ironically has most of these shady banks as verified vendors.
Last year I did place an order with Neptune and Superior. The packs were delivered. However I never got around to running them.
I Placed an order with brotanicals recently, it took them 1 week to ship. I still can't figure out how to use their bro points. Who else knows how to use them? I laugh at how they ask for a tip when checking out. thanks for the quick shipment! No tip for you, lol
Tune into my Atomic post to find out what he says about brotanicals.
My intent of this post is to spark a conversation with fellow growmies. Bring some awareness to some incase they didn't realize the connection between all these banks. There are striking similarities amongst all these banks/breeders. I say it's time to boycott them all. lol
I can't say with 100% certainty they are working in cahoots, but it sure seems that way. I listened/watched the podcasts with Superior,Cannabuzz, FCP, BloomBoosters. HomeGrowTV in Columbia got an award for growing burnt toast. The hype strain Raw mentions on the podcasts. Anyone grow out burnt toast? I have one pack of raw, stuffed french toast. Anyone grow that? Worth growing out?
Dudegrowshow they are all about neptune and raw. I don't understand the hype with raw.. But either way, I wish Brad the best with success.
If all these breeders and banks are legit, cool, I apologize if I'm causing problems.. It's just an observation made about how they might be all close buddies and I felt like sharing my opinion. I have chatted with other who mentioned they dont trust these bank and they all the same.
A google search will result in mixed reviews for these banks.. Either they are loved or hated on. Some banks such as atomic have no feedback. smh.
I'll post the verified vendors for the EG big sherb drop. I was just going off what the breeder told us in discord. I told Atomic sorry if I'm in the wrong, maybe he was accidentally left off as a verified vendor. EG did name a vendor three times.. But honestly I have more faith in him than anyone that I listed in this post.
Honestly I don't care that much about who was or who wasn't verified vendors for a drop. I wanted to raise the question as to whether or not they are all one big happy family? I see a lot of people calling out neptune lately. smh
Cheers growmies!
