Who has the best seeds?

Yeah Herbies is good. I'm not sure they're a breeder so much as a seedbank- selling seeds from a whole bunch of different breeders. Lots of good ones. What sort of herb/effect are you looking for? -indica, sativa, energetic, sleepy, strong, mellow, medical for pain, etc.
 
Yea 9 years but a lot of my stuff seems to have been deleted, I was gone for a long time and decided to come back...

I have only ordered from the single seed centre , they have like 150 breeders and hard to choose only a couple. So far I have bought from Cali connection,
Barneys farm, greenhouse seeds and they were pretty good, but looking for new stuff and can't seem to nail it down.

Seems like your looking for new gear so I'll list some of my favorite breeders.. I've also been looking at some seeds and can't seem to make up my mind.

Humboldt Seed Organization ( lots of stable genetics ), Subcool TGA ( Really good gear), Exotic Genetix ( Expensive but superb), Apothecary seeds( some really nice crosses), Gardens ablaze seeds( New breeder with Cherry Pie crosses), Moxie( Extract specialists) . I'm sure there's a ton more but these are the few I've been eyeballing lately.
 
Just put in an order for some BOG seeds. These were big in the early 2000's but I was too chicken shit scared to grow weed let alone buy some seeds back then. HA, my how things have changed!

Looking forward to growing BOG bubble, Sour Grape, Sour Strawberry, and Blue Kush sometime in 2017!

I've tended to favor the "old school" breeders. Sensi Seeds (forum sponsor), Serious Seeds, Dutch Passion, others along those lines. They've been doing it for decades.

A lot of people have bad things to say about Greenhouse Seed Co. and Barney's Farm. <SHRUGS> Use your own judgment there, I suppose.

Mr. Nice seems to have a lot of fans. I've grown Neville's Haze - and found a few long-term keepers that were outstanding - but IDK if that one is currently available. If so, it might not be the same that I've grown, because that was years ago.

I have read that a lot of West Coast (United States) breeders, err, farm out their work. But I have no personal knowledge one way or the other.

I'm not a big fan of breeders that mostly just buy seed packs of a couple different strains (from other breeders), cross them, and sell the resulting seeds. But that is nothing knew - AfaIK, Mal (Nirvana Seeds) has been doing it for years. I suppose if you can only swing $25 or $30 for a pack of seeds instead of $172, though, and CBA to just wait until you've saved up more money, then a "discount breeder" might be your only option. And such breeders still manage to produce okay strains, I guess.

But I doubt that a breeder that takes a seed from Breeder A, a seed from Breeder B, grows out both and crosses the two, and then sells the progeny... ever offers to give a percentage of those seeds' gross sales to Breeder A or Breeder B. I cannot think of any other industry where that sh!t is tolerated. For that matter, I've found it to be exceedingly rare for a breeder to even state "The parents came from Breeder A and Breeder B" anywhere in his advertisements or seed descriptions. That's dirty pool.

I am really not a fan of breeders that only sell feminized seeds. I might grow them once in a while (my Kali Mist is feminized - but my Jack Herer is regular), but I don't ever want to have that choice thing taken away. And there are other reasons. Not least of which... occasionally, a person actually wants a male cannabis plant. So that's another knock against Greenhouse in my book (again, YMMV).

I used to grow a good bit, but I stopped selling cannabis a long time ago. And later I quit growing completely for a while (and am just getting back into it). I used to like growing landrace sativas, even though they could be... interesting to grow. I've been known to do a little crossing (I used to feel that this was the only use for an indica... now that I - and my family/friends - am older, I can see the appeal of a narcotic). F₁ seeds were good because of their hybrid vigor and (to a lesser extent) because I could get different phenotypes. But a classic IBL - like Serious Seeds' Bubble Gum (which I seem to recall as having slightly more sativa in it than the average "bubblegum") was great, too.

Basically... I'm just rambling ;) .

Great post, very good info
 
Some of my breeder favorites..... bohdi , Lemonhoko, redeyed genetics, towpdawg, pacific nw roots, gagegreen are big fire builders..... there's others that have some heat ..... my seed addiction got me in trouble for a while..... I've tried not to buy as many so I can search the others .... I'm also not a fan of all the new industry pollen chuckers that are popping up everywhere..... the gmo seeds are a little scary also :morenutes:
 
I'm thinking if I ever order seeds again, it will be Serious Seeds. The original Bubblegum and AK47 are on my extremely short list.

Serious Seeds is great. Lots of choices and years of great service.

On which breeders to use. I use lots of different breeders. Most all have 1 or 2 great strains. Yes I do use lots TGA and Barnies Fram strains hard to beat their genetics. I could never go without some of the strains from Greenhouse, DNA, and Humboldt.
I also use older outlaw strains that have yet to hit the mass market.
Seed Banks that I have used with no problems are.
Serious Seeds
James Bean Company
Southern Oregon seeds
