sprouting from seeds....

I would also love to know who the Oregon vendor is. I bought my fist set of seeds from a local dispensary, and ordered some from True North Seeds, my order is still in transit.
 
Hello everyone, sorry for the delay, I work out in a world where there is no internet_ except when I get back home. OK, so here's the info on the outfit I get my seeds from_
They are: Southern Oregon Seeds_ website is: sooregonseeds.com check out their menu_ they have seeds from just abut every seed bank out there_all the big ones and a bunch of others.
They also produce some of their own seeds as well which are fresh and I've always had good luck with 80-100% germination. Occasionally I get a pack of seeds that has a germination rate of about 50% but these are always from the banks they resell from. Their prices are the same, they have some good specials and freebees, and are great folks to work with. Shipping is by post, has tracking and takes about 3 days_ to Alaska_ so if you're in the "lower 48" then it should be even faster. Sometimes they run out of some strains pretty fast so if I see something I really want to try then I order it. No credit cards yet but once you become a regular customer things tend to go really fast and once you make your order they hold it until it ships_ so you're guaranteed to get what you paid for. Try em!
 
Huh? Did you mean the UK...not the US? Or somewhere else outside the US? I've had no problem using the USPO for delivery within the US. I've heard that UPS and Fedex offer employees "bonuses" if they discover weed in any packages... but no confirmation of that....I know people who have used one of those carriers and had no problems, but SOS only delivers by postal for that reason....and its more affordable.
 
i thought u tried and it said so on the site,that would be quite funny wouldn't it? I mean i will never order from the single one seed seller in my country but the whole us just sounds wrong,so you can only order from canada uk and eu? and that will give ur shipping fees a kick in the right spot right?
 
My understanding is that it is illegal to order and ship from within this country. So far, I've ordered seeds exclusively from UK.
 
How on earth is that possible? That would imply that they are feeding of the import-export trades!You have so many seedbanks that are based in US soil!They then have to send it to Europe,Uk,Asia and you have to import it to get it to you (for let's say stock)!!So there is no Us to Us trade happening?
 
From GWE's page on seed buying:

"Many, many growers order seeds online every day, and to this day there has never been a report of someone in the USA getting in legal trouble for simply ordering cannabis seeds online. You can check me on that! In fact, American citizens have been ordering seeds overseas via mail order from Amsterdam since at least the 1970s, and even though it's been over 40 years there hasn't been a case of an American getting in legal trouble simply for ordering cannabis seeds online through the mail!
An American citizen won't get in legal trouble for ordering cannabis seeds online from outside the country.However, because of the (backwards) way U.S. federal laws work surrounding cannabis, you can get in a lot of legal trouble for selling or sending seeds from one place to another within the USA, even between legal states! That's why you never see long-term cannabis seed banks located in the U.S.

When marijuana seeds get caught by customs agents during shipping, the seeds get tossed and that's it. It doesn't matter what state you're in, or your local laws. That is simply the way our laws about customs work. On the flip side, you can get in a lot of trouble by sending seeds from one place to the other within the US (though this is still very, very rare)."
 
Oh yeah,you guys have 2 courts to order and federal above state laws! Could never get my head around that structure..
 
Yeah, having different state and federal laws to contend with is a PITA and can present all kinds of confusion and issues. Luckily prosecution is rare.
I've heard that seeds that get caught by customs just get thrown away, and are not prosecuted. But then I usually order 20 seeds or more and it'd be a bummer if I lost the whole package to customs. Not likely to happen, but I just feel more comfortable getting them from inside our borders. Never had a bad experience doing that. And either way I'm helping to support the industry, here and overseas. I was wondering why its been so hard to get seeds from seed banks within the US_ allatup_ thanks for helping with that. And now I do feel a bit better about ordering from oversea's_ sometimes strains that are out of stock here are available from the seed banks in Amsterdam. On another note does anyone know if you can visit the seed banks in Amsterdam and what the legal/enforcement procedures are for carrying seeds back to the US?
 
I know people go over from uk and take shit back but US has become a nightmare to enter so i've heard no? Im surprised they don't make u take a dump lol!
 
Yeah no kidding. My first intention is to try to visit some of the seed banks in Amsterdam when I'm there this Spring so I can see for myself the strains I'd like to get. So many choices and doing mail order all you have are pics and reviews. In person is best for me. Then to be safe I can mail order once I get home.... or maybe just buy there on the spot and have em shipped so they are waiting for me when I get back!
 
Yeah you can ship them home..Had a mate in Italy doing that exact thing,only with big orders ;) You can go smoke em all if u like man,the problem is im not rly sure coffee shops have all the strains we tend to grow!And ofc they differ from shop to shop!U can get a white widow or you can get a lousy widow...
 
Hmmmm...is there a "guide to "coffee shops" that are rated by their public? Have you ever tried to visit a seed bank? In the US I haven't found a seed bank you can actually visit....not open to the public unless you know someone connected to them in some way. Only can order online. Kinda like the coffee shops in Amsterdam the dispensaries here don't carry much of a variety of seed, mostly flower and finished products like oil and shatter and such.
 
Naah man i have no idea what goes on over there!Im sure reddit or some other well known forum/site must host a similar list!Also i have never visited a seedbank or seedshop,in fact i haven't ever been to any cannabis related store in my life!Always been around the corner waiting for a whistle ;)
 
I just sent an email to Barney's Farm_ got some seeds from them that had a 100% germination rate but are proving a little frustrating to grow. Some weird issue I haven't been able to figure out but they seem to be growing out of it, thankfully. Anyway I asked them for any advise considering that strain_ said they weren't allowed to offer that but did send me some pics of their store and told me to visit anytime. So yeah, Im going to look around on the net and see what else I can find. I know they have lots of brewery tours so maybe they have a "coffee shop" or seed bank tour as well? We'll see. Heading over there has been on my wife's "bucket" list for years so we're gonna check that one off this Spring. I'll post some pics when I get back.
 
I have 3 Ayahuasca Purple growing now. They started out pretty slow but are now picking up. looking like they are going to be pretty short_less than 60cms, but bushy. They are four weeks old now and are about 30 cms tall. The leaves are huge for such a short plant_ its wider than it is tall. short internodes. Seems to be a few shades darker in color than the Gold Mine or the S.A.D.
All three seeds sprouted within 24hrs. I have them in 3 gallon smart pots, in coco/perlite with grow stones in the bottom. I'm cutting back on the nitrogen because its looking like they might be in the first stage of nitrogen toxicity. Flushed them yesterday and fed with flowering nutrients only. Going to put on 12/12 on Feb. 17.
Grew Barney's Tangerine Dream last time and it is now one of my favorite. Nice uplifting high with easy transition to mellow. Tasty herb, sweet but with a citrus tang to it
Cheers!.
