which seed bank to order from!!!!

Havnt changed too much lol,
I've ordered twice from ilgm and BOTH times have been headaches,
First time (a year agi) i didn't get my order (stacy eventually got it straightened out),
So last month I figured since I already had my "ilgm glitch" that I would try them in good faith again, on Aug 26 I ordered the 10+10 blueberry autos,
They accepted my order and even got an email from them the NEXT DAY saying not to forget to send my payment (boy talk about impatience on getting peoples cash),
I sent the money, they got it in 10 days, Sent me an email saying that they recieved my money but that they were NOW out of the blueberry auto,
Now the first time I ordered from them they sent me an email saying that it can take 2-3 weeks to recieve customers payments (I still have the email) so ilgm didn't even allow THEIR OWN 2-3 week time period, they SOLD MY ORDER within 10 days of me ordering, THAT'S PURE BS,
yall expect customers to give payment 2-3 weeks to get there, but ilgm doesn't honor their OWN time frame when the table is turned?,
They SHOULD have honored the order, ESPECIALLY with a customer that already had a bad first experience with them,
NOT a good way to build customer confidence lmao,
I WAS going to order the mix fruit auto pack next month, not going to happen now, (nevermind the fact the mix fruit auto pk also has blueberry auto that they no longer have),
That's not improved business, 2 screwed up orders is going downhill NOT "improvement",
They have a GREAT forum, and equality GREAT genetics (the 10+10 wwa I ordered the first time had a 19- 1 germination rate), man that's a 195%success rate, CAN'T BEAT THAT, Bob knows growing, but he doesn't know squat on honoring commitment to customers orders or preventing customers from dealing with bs like I've had to do on BOTH of my orders, they should have been patient like they expect their customers to be and SHOULDN'T have sold my order out from under me,
I wonder how many others they did that to also,
Build em up, that's what your supposed to do being ne of them, but there's people out there that they've screwed one way or another and those people will get the word out on how yall really are,
I'm one of em, I got screwed not once but twice by ilgm, I'm NOT going to test the "3rd times the charm" with ilgm,
So go aheat and try to keep people feeling all warm n fuzzy inside with that "we've improved" spiel, and until I EVENTUALLY get my order taken care of I'll keep telling people the TRUTH of BOTH of my poor experiences with ilgm,
Embrace being one of their people, I'll bet your orders don't get screwed up like plain customers do,
EXTREEM CAUTION when dealing with ilgm, NOT just my opinion, it's FACT from my 2 experiences with them, and proven with saved emails if anyone wants to question it,

I agree they shouldn't have sold your seeds after you ordered. I would be pissed.

Places Ive personally used, and recommend in USA.

Also I will state Ive been buying seeds since Super Sativa Seed Club, Nevil, and others started advertising in HT in the 80s.

Most of the times Ive sent Cash, but I make sure the cash is covered with paper, and I Tape the thing shut with really good clear tape. It doesn't take much, but if they want the money, they'll have to steal it, cause it comin undone.
Knock on wood, Ive never lost an order. Ive had several confiscated from overseas, but always used the resend ect, and got the order 2nd time around, but since all these genetics Ive been looking for for years after I lost mine are back, that's where I spend my $$. Also not saying overseas doesn't have stuff I want.

Ill also state Im not really interested in the Cookies, Glue and other more common strains. Im after old genetics from the 60s-90s specifically. REal Hze, Nevils Haze, Sk1, Hashplant, Afghan.
IMHO stuff has been going down sine at least the early 2000s, and in many cases the late 1990s.

Im looking for hybrids, or pure when available, mainly of these genetics.

80s Super Sativa Seed Club Genes
Nevils 80s Genes of which Nevil got many of SSSC genes after they split.
90s Sensi/Nevil which many/Most were Nevils
Flying Dutchmen.. Wont use now.
Cultivators Choice
Specific Genetics. All females clone only.. Some Male clones too. From the 80s. Many Hybrids/Polyhybrids, but are real deal stuff, and are proven to produce powerful marijuana.

SSSC Sk1.. Also known as M9
Skelly Hashplant… AKA PUCK
Pacific Northwest Hashplant
Chem91 VA
95 Super Skunk
NL1/Heirloom
NL5/Hz
70s/Chocolate/Highland Thai
Pre Soviet 71 Kandahar
Narrow Leaf late 60s/early 70s Lebeanse
Nepali
90s White Widow
Fort Collins Cough
90s Black Domina
79 Romulan Cut
Uncle Festers Sk18.. and crosses
Original 1984/NL5 clone only/Indonesian
Nevils NL5/Basic 5.
1976 Peace Corp.. Guerrero....76 Peace Corp Panama Red
Real Mazar I Shariff.

These seed vendors carry the genes I look for.

Also remember all the euro companies basically got all of their genetics from the West Coast starting in the early 80, and these genetics are still alive, and resurfacing, mostly in clone only, but for those interested, I just thought I give a heads up for some killer stuff.


Swami Organic Seeds Does Instagram.. Many Photos, and EMaIL is there.
Killer early 70s - 80s genetics. Real stuff. NO BS. Thai, early 70s Kandahar, Nevils 88 LTD Release NL5/Hz, African, Nepali, Viet. REAL Mr Green Genes Cherry Bomb/Maui Wowie. 1979 IBL. Only 3 people have these genes. Also many more

The Nature Farm Genetics. Has a Website for ordering. Many photos on IG.

Is getting ready to drop more than I can list. Look for the Sk18 crosses. This guy has more old school, elite cuts than god himself. He posts all of his stuff on IG. He says he has 200+ elite cuts, and access to many more. He got them from his dad. Really knows his shit about soil/microbes/fungus. makes my head hurt.

Coastal Seed Company

Look mainly for the NL1 Hybrids. They are an Heirloom Series. Also has other killer Sativa Hybrids.

Also for those in Cali ONLY, Eqgenetics. Damn you. Which has the Coastal Genetics.

The Nature Farm gave Coastal the Sensi 95 Black Domina cut for their Black Lights/NL1, and also gave a cut to a person that won the 2017 Humboldt Cup.
Also gave Coastal the 79 Romulan cut.

Dominion Seed Company
Duke Diamond VA.
Chem91 VA cut
Certified by Chem to be original, as Chem lost his, and got it back from DD/VA
Has a Chem91 mom crossed with 89 Skelly Hashplant x SSSC SK1 male.

He also used the Skelly/SSSC Sk1 on several crosses. Id look for these
Dominion Skunk
Granny Skunk
Sis Skunk
More to come this fall.

SeedsHereNow has
Dominion Seed Company
Coastal Seed Company

Great Lakes Genetics has Coastal
James Bean has Coastal

James Bean has Dynasty, who have a few of the COLORADO COUGH HYBRIDS. Id go for the CC x SSH F3

DC Seed Exchange.

I always use the Single Seed Centre (SSC) for pick and mix. I recently made a small order but got 4 Girl Scout cookies fem. as bonus! ..and often lower prices plus got my order in 9 days! Everything I get has been fresh and cracked proper

I've also had one occasion to deal with their customer service and they could not have gone out of their way more to make it right, and at their own expense.

So I'm still happy with the Single Seed Centre, but so far only two thirds of my last order has cracked, and if I get any more of the shity little white seeds I might not be so quick to use them again ?

My washing machine from Ripper seeds are tiny little white seeds, as soon as you look at them you know they're going to suck! Only one has cracked but I don't know if it's going to make it, hasn't been much growth in last 24 hours

I don't know why they send those little seeds out, they only piss customers off..!

Well fellas thansk for all the comment on my post all negative and positive I learned a lot about seed company specially banks in the states I’ve only ordered from seed banks over seas only because they have the strains I’m looking for anyhow just wanted to post an update on my grow..

These plants are all Cali connection I’m running 6 jack og or (22), one passions berry, one girls scout, 3 cheese plants and one white widow plant I cloned from my last grow all are doing very well don’t seem to have any signs of stress or deficiency’s growing in fox farm ocean forest the only thing I feed these lady’s is mother plant a+b. They have been topped twice so 4 main tops on each plant I’m really looking forward to this coming flower wich should be by the end of this month

Cali Connection sucks ass. I have 5 supposed pre-98 Bubba Kush I was gifted. I have 6 strains going and those are the weakest simplest sparsest pieces of shit out there. Wispy, scrawny stems. Not just one but all 5. No problems with any others. I was told that here on RIU in Spring and failed to listen. I wouldn't run radish seeds from them

Just showing off an update I’m very happy so far with Cali connection they are coming through. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Update* ..so total from 10 seeds from Single Seed Center, only 3 cracked!? Stay away from Single Seed Centre! (Old Seeds)

JBC (James Bean) for speed and fair pricing, Attitude for selection and when you have to trust a single seed removed from original pack, and SOL for price and specials. Have been using an Oregon seed bank but when they send you a pink IOU instead of the beans you ordered because they "ran out " that is game over.

does anyone have experience with Exotic genetics or In House genteics? been seeing some good looking strains on there but wanna make sure cus they pricey
