ROFL
15 times per minute if what I read is true. Course I think that is a light estimate
Do I think this thread is a good resource? Not really, it would be easier to post who is acceptable to order from, it's a smaller list.

I agree, I often come in here when I see new posts and its usually an unanswered question about a random seedbank... I think, like Dan says, a list of renowned seedbanks that are reliable... say if the experienced growers submitted their favourite banks that they use regular and allow people to come in and give their own opinions/experiences as and when they can. And moderate the forum so off topic stuff and questions are either moved or deleted.

Just my 2p

Am gonna order some seeds over the next week or so, shall let yaz know how it pans out.

Double edged sword I imagine... a package that is obviously clothing will be less likely to be suspicious, but will cost more on P&P. I doubt the company will be making any real profit on the shipping costs, unless they are excessive.

The owner is supposed to be some inventor in the UK; he should focus on one trade and do it well. My 2p.

I have made several orders with the attitude, and have received all my seeds. Better price than the Doc (sorry). I do pay extra for their stealth shipping. Have had 2 orders grabbed by uncle sam's KGB. I like to order at lest 4 different stains but like Dutch Passion seed bank seeds best. I think most all banks are good I just prefer DP. Been Doing this for sometime now and like a lot of variety in my smoke. Have a Great Day.

Sorry, The 2 shipments grabbed by our KGB were from the Doc. And the reason I prefer Dutch Passion is every seed I have planted popped. Not one failed me, the seeds are a nice size, and they just seem to do better than most other seeds.

I recently tried DP and was very pleased too (Frisian Dew). I've been happy with the Doc but I'll have to check out Attitude, again. Besides DP, Sweetseeds is also great. They just about always germ and have great vigor. I've had about a dozen orders with Doc with no lag or customs issues. Have a nice day.

Anyone have any experience with Arjan's colored seeds? There are other Dutch breeders that are starting to follow suit. Franco assures me that all the ingredients used for the coating are organic. I spoke to one person that has grown them and does not like them but someone else told me that they are excellent.
I have also had experiences with DP and the batch I got was not good and no one at DP would step up; will never buy there again but the person at their shop was very helpful. It seems that some others I have talked with have had similar experience with seeds acquired around the same time.
Seedboutique has my vote as the best, except of course for some non-commercial breeders.
But you ask 10 different people and you are likely to get 10 different answers; it is hard to get consistency when there are so many negative factors/issues to deal with.
I hope the scheduled US senate hearings on MJ will have some positive effect. There are still too many countries that have to bow to the US's drug policies because of the moneys in aid that the US will withhold if those countries do not implement the laws that the US wants; neo-fascism at work.

That colouring crap is just an advertising ploy more than anything.
Let's be honest, everything every seed needs is within that lil pod. If it doesn't germ it wasn't going to...
grower screw ups not withstanding

I ordered from Seeds direct before they started the seed boutique, twice.
The second time I started entering my info, as soon as I typed my nickname it filled in the rest of the info.
That was the last time.
Seedbay is a great place. I have never had the slightest issue with them.

I am thinking that the economy is getting to the point where they will not be able to support the war on drugs and their other war and will have to let go of the pot one

Too many evil politicians and law enforcement have too much power and money backing their "fight." Supposedly, 75% of American adults think pot shouldn't be a crime but our politicians send them to prison anyway. The only way this will change is if the uproar is overwhelming to the point that it would be more painful for the politicians not to relent. It's one of the best, but our government sucks on some things.

I've only had that coating stuff from Greenhouse. It's not scientific but my general feeling is that they work better without it. I like Doctor Chronic, Growshop Alien (some strains are overpriced--others are real good), and that by-the-seed place on HTs homepage, in that order. As for companies I like Sweetseeds, DP and Greenhouse, in that order.

I would NOT order from these guys again!
I ordered 10 Purps, 10 Godbud, and 10 Cali Chronic seeds.

2 purps actually sprouted, 4 chronic, but thankfully 9 godbud sprouts (which are doing beautifully)

but 50% of the seeds were worthless! I am sure it is not my propigation method, I typically have about a 98% sprout rate, with 90-95% maturing to plants I can work well with...
50% is BS
