Seed banks….

Good morning peoples!

my name is Michael.
I am a newbie grower.
I grew once, way back in 1991-2, and I did that because I found a bag of seeds in the basement of a house I was renting/moving into.
I used t-12 grow lights.. which had a stigma attached to them, because of the laws that were in place and my “appearance “.
No worries!!!

anyways, I’m so fortunate today to have this forum- and the wisdom it contains through experiences!
I just read a thread about seed banks and awards, “cups” etc on new strains… and one comment struck me hard, having felt the TRUTH, contained in the writers comment, and I’ll kinds quote by memory-

“ after wasting 4-5 months of time on the grow”…..

the comment was referencing a “Barney”?(seedbank)?.. and the complete poop that they were selling as “quality” seeds…
Now -
Here I am , with 3 seeds from “royal queen seeds”
And I myself have the three ladies in bloom using my fluorescents because I am familiar with that growing style.
I paid big money for my seeds….
That was new to me! Seeing as I only remembered finding seeds in every bag of Ganga I purchased!

so I smoked from 13- 39 years of age… then I stopped because I had to repurpose all my personal moneys to this new” family moneys” etc…
And the law was also pushing me in that direction.

it’s so different now. The potency is crazy. And the strains!!!!And the laws are changed!!! And the prices!!
But my time remains the same, limited!
The time to cultivate and care for each plant, and each crop…!limited!!

so the questions arises.. and I ask you-
Who sells awesome seeds?
I bought GSC, from royal seeds having received a clone from my neighbor and it’s yield was phenomenal (outdoor grow) and everybody who tried it raved on it, which made me feel good having a quality product produced with the time I spent producing it.. you know that’s why I do grow, the “reward” must outweigh the trouble!!

So which seedcompany still has a good reputation

Go poke around here. https://www.rollitup.org/f/seed-and-strain-reviews.43/

There are countless threads reviewing and talking about pretty much all the seed banks. Also, if you are growing under fluorescent lights, you are going to end up pretty disappointed when it votes to flowering and producing solid flower. They just don't have the umph needed to really produce.

side note, seed based GSC isnt real GSC. The real OG GSC is a clone only plant. Ive seen seed based GSC and its good smoke, its just not what its claiming to be.

Barney is poop but royal is selling genetic hermies...
 
JBC is my go to seedbank, Dynasty, akbean brains, relic, crickets and cicadas are all great breeders in their selection, and theyre adding blue star seed co soon.
Thank you sir! That’s what I’m looking for… wisdom and experience! You should get paid.. for saving me the troubles!

That’s what I’m learning through these forums, and I believe it! So I’ll be on a clone quest? Right now, what I’m growing from 3 seeds , only 1 is a strong and fast girl so i cloned her 3 times.. ill CS one girl, and go for seed stock with the other two.
If I’m successful, then I’ll repay you .. with “this alleged gsc” its a thought..

Aargh… !?! Tyvm for the info. I am watching these 3 girlies closely, they have been Low stress trained continually.. what I do is rotate my containers 3 times a day. I also drop 20 minutes every other week from the light into the darkness while flowering . It has had a very positive effect on each plant- they’re shaped circular… low and evenly..

For growing once, 35 years ago you seem very well versed.

Happy Tuesday.

I did give “the nod” to the experts within this forum!
I have absolutely no knowledge in the hydroponic methods… and again no wisdom in genetics and strains.. i smoked Columbia’s gold, Panama red, Thai weed…then they srtarted spraying everything with this weed killer “paraquot” as I remember… that’s basically when I tried to grow my own.. and succeeded.. it was a dry year in Massachusetts….
I’ve since moved into the center of Maine..
Last frost is June 1.. I grow my own. Can and jar my own..etc. I like being self sufficient. It makes me free.
